A World Apart

The Steeles Arrive In Seattle

Anastasia Steele
I am done with college and have three degrees at 21 as well as graduating from a well known culinary school in France. It took a lot of patience to get through that school. Dad finally found a nice lady. She is a kind soul who lost everything in a plane crash. Her husband and children were killed in a plane crash while she was away at maneuvers. Dad was there when she got the news. She was immediately taken to their location. There was hardly anything left to bury. Asia Reynolds lost three sons, her husband, father, and mother in the crash. So she was given a hardship discharge.

Ray Steele and his daughter were how I survived the deaths of my family. The two of them were there for me as I suffered the burial of my whole family. They took me in and made sure I was okay. Ana would be there even though her college was demanding. She would take me with her on her tours and we would stay a week at a time. I don't know when or how, but they became my family. Ray and I married in Paris before we were rotated back to Seattle, Washington so Ray could retire. He informed his renters that he was headed home and they would have to look for a place to live soon.

Asia was lost and all alone after her whole family died in a plane crash. Ana and I stayed by her side and we took her in and helped her through a very dark time for her. We became her family and she ours. Suddenly we found each other's hearts. Our love grew until I just decided to finally marry again. Asia was worried about what Ana would feel, but I had already asked Ana and she said it was about time. So we had a very quiet ceremony in France. Asia and I had a honeymoon in Italy. We had decided that once Ana had finished college we would be going back to Washington State. I still had the house in Montesano, but a friend of mine was not well enough to move out so we could move back there. So Seattle here we come. I had given the renters six months to find a new place to live. I gave them a break on the rent so they could achieve this quickly. We packed up and we're getting things ready to go. We found Asia crying as she looked through her things. We knew this might happen so we took some time for her to grieve for her family.
A month later we arrive in Seattle and at our home and the movers arrive with all our things. It took a week to get things in and sorted.
We started looking for jobs.
Raymond Steele
I applied for a security professional position with several companies. My military experience was a huge part of my experience. Bodyguard were needed as well. So I was interviewed by several people and they were cheap on the payment of the bodyguards so they weren't able to find anyone good. Fast food manager pays more than they did. I decided to hire a headhunter. Asia said I would get the best jobs there. Ana had put in for chef or translators positions as well as a paralegal. Until she passed the bar. She apparently had to have classes here in the states to get her law license.

I have bought a new car and got my Washington State Driver's license. An international drivers license might not work for certain things. I head to the college and get registered for the courses I needed. I apply for a chefs position and get a line cooks position in a nice restaurant. They want to test drive my cooking before they consider me as a chef.
Asia
I just call an old friend of mine and ask if he knows someone looking for and intelligence and security person or a female bodyguard and tech support?

Asia Reynolds called asking about a job and I definitely want her on Greys staff. I just have to run a background check and fast. We always need good people on the staff. Her new name is Asia Steele and is married to Raymond Steele. I ask her to hold on while I look at the recent files sent from HR from our head hunters list. Ahh there it is Raymond Steele. I ask if her husband is looking for a similar position and she says he is. I set up appointments with both the Steele's. Grey might have a problem with married couples doing this job but we can use them both in different areas.
Christian Grey
I am sitting in on a merger and getting bored of hearing, but this company is worth so much more than you are offering us.i finally just say well we are going to leave since you don't like the deal and good luck to you. I get up and start leaving taking my staff with me Roz wouldn't like me doing this, but these guys think they have me over the barrel. Well too bad so sad for them. They think because I am 21 I am not a shark. Well good luck to you I smell blood and it's yours and once you file bankruptcy I will buy your company then at far less than what I offered today.

I show Grey the choices I have for new positions, I failed to notice that three of them were named Steele all living at the same address. Also hadn't seen they had just gotten back to the states after Ray Steele had put in for retirement from service. HR slipped in a few of these applications but failed to let me know about them. I had to check the most recent ones and he said he would look through them after lunch.
