Breathe Slow

Chapter.1

-

Bruce leaned back as another tedious chart explaining the profit Wayne Enterprises made so far this year showed up on the flat screen. The spacious conference room was filled with 13 heads of departments at the Wayne Enterprises, Lucius Fox and Bruce himself. Bruce silently sat at the back of the conference room and tried to focus on the graph, but he wasn't mesmerized by his company's sudden growth. Soon, his eyes became blurry and he lost focus as usual as in his other meetings.

Lucius pressed the 'off' button on the projector and took a sip of water from his glass. "Now, I would like each of the departments to represent their sales chart for this term and I would like to-"

"Excuse me sir, I apologize for interrupting." Victoria Owen, a 27 year old assistant wearing a beige high waist skirt and a white blouse with her brown hair neatly tied back walked towards Lucius rather in a hurry with a black plastic folder in her hand. Lucius put on his glasses nodded his head slowly.

"But, I would like to let you know that Mr Wood isn't present at this meeting today because he's very ill. And here's the folder containing his department, bio-technology's sales chart." Victoria handed Lucius the folder and walked past everyone. Bruce smirked as she passed him by which made her blush tiny bit.

When the meeting ended and everyone exited the room, Lucius went up to Bruce who was looking out the window, contemplating deeply.

"I assume that this head of department meeting didn't entertain you at all today." Lucius said as he tapped Bruce's shoulder.

"Lucius, you do know very well that I'm not that into those-"

"And, I do know very well that you were looking right at Ms Owen when she came in. She's stunning, smart, hard-working and what else would you expect? And, it seemed to me that you were thinking about her during the whole meeting."

"Lucius, I was not. Who is she anyways? I've never seen her around." His curiosity often drove him insane.

"Miss Owen? Oh, she used to work for Mr Wood down at the department of bio-technology." Lucius explained, but it was evident that he wanted to hear more about her.

"And, where does she work now?" Lucius turned around and looked at the door.

"I think she can tell you." Victoria stood by the door, waiting for their conversation to be over. She walked in as Lucius waved at her.

"Nice to meet you in person, Mr Wayne. I don't know if Mr Fox already told you, but I'll be your new secretary." She held out her hand and shook his hands firmly.

"It's my pleasure. So, what did you actually do when you were working for the department of bio-technology?" His eyes were glued onto her rosy cheeks and pink lips. It was simply, inevitable.

"I was in charge of marketing all the products." Victoria ran her fingers through her sleek hair and bit her bottom lip.

"I see. But, it's odd that I've never seen you around."

"That's because I travel a lot to various countries in order to market our products. I barely get to stay here and that's why I decided to change my position at the enterprises." Lucius nodded as if he already knew about this.

"I apologize for not being able to acknowledge my employee. Perhaps we can out for dinner tonight, maybe? So we can get to know each other more since we'll be seeing each other quite a lot."

"Thank you for your offer, but I already have a dinner date tonight with my old friend. Maybe next time." Victoria detected a minor flirtation between her and Bruce, which made her feel quite uncomfortable. But, considering his notorious scandals with numerous models and actresses, Victoria thought he was just being 'cordial' or friendly.

"Maybe next time." She smiled and walked away from Bruce and Lucius.

"Victoria-" She turned around as soon as she heard her name.

"Yes, Mr Wayne?" She waited patiently for him to say something else.

"Don't let me down. I'm not kidding about the dinner."

AN: I'm sorry if it wasn't good enough for some people but I tried and the second chapter is going to be much longer than this one..I promise!

And this story happens sort of during the dark knight (I guess) and there will be bunch of characters coming in later on such as Rachel, Harvey and the Joker.
