Chapter2' Business Partners
William Giles sat at his expensive cherry oak desk doing work on his computer when someone knocked on his door. He was so invested in want he was doing he didn't hear it the first couple of times, so the knocker let themselves in.
"Spikey." His secretary said sensual since he didn't look up from his computer when she entered the room.
William typed in a couple more sentence before responding to his annoying secretary. Actually she wasn't annoying when he first hired her, but she caught him one night piss drunk after his break up with Cecily. And he just regretted that night ever since.
"Yes, Harmony. And don't call me that. " he said in a huff.
"Your sister called and wanted to know if your coming to Ann's birthday. Clement wanted to have a brief meeting before going to get that contract signed."
" I'll call my sister. Just tell Clem-
"Clement has entered the building." Clem said announcing himself, dressed head to toe in Armani.
" 'ello Clem." William smirked, he taught him well. "That will be all, Harmony."
Clem sat down in the chair in front of Spike's desk as he waited for the door to shut. He then handed Spike some papers.
"How's it going, Spike?"
"Oh, you know. Some old bloody things." Spike said tilting his head towards the door then went back to scanning over the paperwork Clem gave him.
Clement smirked and shook his head. Then change the subject on something more important. Spike was growing a shadow and he was sure he had those clothes on yesterday.
"Been home?"Clem asked concerned.
Spike looked up from the papers he was looking over and dropped them on the desk and signed, annoyed.
"As a matter of fact, no. And before you rip into me. Not everyone has a family to go home to. If I went home I'd do the same bloody things I'm doing here." Spike said calmly running his hands through his bleach locks.
Clem raised both hands in the air, "Look, man, I'm just looking after my business partner. And let's not forget your father threading my lively hood if I don't make sure you and 'his' business stay a float." His father was a scary man.
"Great. Thanks ever so " Spike said sarcastically.
" You wanna tell me about these papers and what they have to do with me." Spike said getting down to business.
"Well you know how you've been saying you want to get more younger people into the business and that we can make more money and that the peers of this generation need some people to look up too."
" Yeah, right." The blonde said.
"I got a letter from a music major at Sunnydale University asking if we could speak as a guest speaker Saturday. I thought it might be a perfect opportunity to hunt for an artist. You know, Osborne goes there." Clem said as a matter of fact.
"That's great. That's actually perfect. Go ahead let's make it happen."
"I would but I have that flight tonight and I won't be back until-
"Bloody hell, I forgot. Okay I guess I'm going to be speaking."
"Ok it's at 1:00 but they would like to get us to come 15 minutes early."
"Don't worry. I got it. I'm a Giles aren't I? How's it going with Osborne? He's fucking great. We need to get him to sign soon. I heard Virgin Records and EMI has been talking to him." Spike asked reclining in his seat, putting his feet on his table.
"It's locked. He said he's going to talk to his girlfriend. I'm pretty sure he'll sign it." Clement said with a satisfying smirk.
"Fucking fabulous" Spike smiled drumming on his desk his two index fingers.
"Oh, Lila wanted me to tell you she has a girl for you to go on a blind date with. But I already told her that you needed a break from her 'blind dates'" Clem said laughing, getting up from his chair and leaving Spikes office.
"Bloody women."
