CHAPTER 2:

Edward's Point Of Veiw:

I woke up to my over rated beeping alarm and a hangover,i layed in bed for ten minutes before dragging my arse to the shower to help sober me up.

35 minutes had passed and i was dressed neatly and down four blocks at starbucks getting a greasy burger before heading to work,i got in the back of the car.

"to work please" i sighed.

"right away"

i walked through the doors of my business and into the elevator,i was glad to get the vacant one as i liked to have some peace to think,i pressed the button and watched as the numbers slowly counted up,to my disapointment the elevator stopped on the 15th floor.

"morning sir" kate sais as she enteered the elevator.

i swore someone told her when i arrived to work because every morning we'd have the same non-interesting conversation

"morning" i said sipping on my coffee

"how is everything?"

"fine" i hated talking when i just wanted my headache to ease

"how was the promotion party for jasper?"

"alright"

final-fucking-ly the elevator stopped on the 23th floor and i got out,walking passed all my co-workers as they moved aside and through the doors into my own personal enviroment.

"you have a call on line-1 sir" claire said sitting at the reception desk

"thank you claire" i smiled and head into my office.

i sat in my chair and layed my head on the desk trying to ease the throbbing in my head when jasper came in.

"Edward the promotion party was a hit" he said all excited

"thanks" i mumbled

"got alittle drunk i see" i could hear the smile in his words

i groaned a small yes.

why wont anyone leave me alone?

"alice will be here at 9:00am"

"ok" i sat up and leaned back in my chair sipping my coffee

"she has a new clothes line she wants to run by you"

"like always" i smiled.

"yes"

"please leave me for alittle while jasper"

"sure" his smile was alittle disapointed but he left

jasper had a crush on my sister we all knew that but he was a close friend to me even when we worked in the same business,he was more into printing for our magazine than i was,yes i was the boss,the guy that said yes to everything nothing worked right without me.

i looked down and noticed that the red light on line-1 was still flashing i had almost forgot about the person on hold.

"edward cullen" i answered

"edward its kelly,i know ur busy and everything"

"get on with it.." i sighed

"our photographer quit"

"what do you mean he quit?"

"he quit,he didnt want to work for us anymore,we have no one to shoot our photoshoot"

"so what now?"

"we need a new photographer otherwise this months mag wont be published"

"dont panic,ill find you a new photographer" i said as alice walked in the door with a smile on her face like always.

"but edward..."

"dont worry ill handle it,i have to go my 9:00 appointment has arrived" and i hung up.

"edward" alice hugged me tightly

"alice..the suit"

"sorry" she loosened her grip a bit.

she noticed the coffee in my hand and frowned.

"what?"

"your suppose to drink juice not coffee"

i have a hangover and im tired,coffee helps"

she took it out of my hand.

"no edward,i will not let you drink this stuff especially when its from starbucks" and she threw it in the bin

i sighed and decided to ask what she wanted and made a memo in my head to get a another coffee as soon as she left.

"im always happy to see my sister,what can i do for you?"

"i have a new design" she smiled

"can i see it?"

"no" she frowded

"then why show up at 9am just to tell me i cant see it?"

"its a suprise,i want this months models wearing it"

"i might have a problem there..." i said slowly

"what is it?"

"my photographer quit this morning"

"im sure it wont be hard to get another by then"

"alice,we cant just hire any photographer theres to many under cover aggents doing photoshoots now" i said getting up.

"really?" she said sitting in my chair.

"yes really and you know no one see's the models pictures until there on the cover of our maginzine"

"that i do,but where are you going to find a photographer before friday?"

"i dont know,we'll just have to see what happens"

"of enough of business,how was the party?"

"it was great thank you"

"and jasper?"

"he liked it to,you organise things so well my little sister"

"thats good to hear,well i have to go" she hugged me and than left.

i sat back down in my chair and looked out the window at all the people down below.

Before i forgot i rang my receptionist to get another coffee.

Today was going to be a long i wish i could have just called in sick and have the days and sleep my throbing headache away just like every normal guy,even if that meant i was unemployed and just wasted what money i had on alcohol and cheap hook ups,then i changed my mind that instant id never settle with a cheap hook up,never paying for what pleasure i got,every girl liked a wealthy business man,yes just in case you were wondering i didnt waste time with girls often i was to busy making sure everything was perfect,everything according to plan,i was certain alot of newspapers would love to see my bad side,to get arrested or caught paying a postitute for sex or something like honestly that wasnt me my image meant everything to me,my job and my family.

I hardly ever got lost in my own thoughts as i was hardly alone while i was at work and that bothered me,i walked out to my reception desk to see why i had time to think about personal life in my work environment.

"is everything okay?" i asked confussed.

"of corse Mr. Cullen" she smiled sweetly taking her eyes off the computer screen to look at me.

"so then how come my phone isnt ringing and theres no one lining up at my door to see me?"

"i forwarded all your calls to ur vise manager and all ur meetings as well,you seem really tired,maybe you should have the day off,i really think u deserve it you have been over working yourself"

i was speechless,was she really saying i had free time? this was crazy.

"so what am i suppose to do while all my business is getting taken care of for me?"

"i suggest you go home and get some rest Mr. Cullen" she smiled

"umm.."yes i was definally speechless that i was not needed today,i know i wanted the day off but i didnt ask,before i started believing i was crazy and demanded to be important again,i thanked her warmly and left picking up my coffee on the way out.

The streets in seattle were so busy,people pushing roughly and rushing past eachother to get to work on time,i got into my private car and asked to go home.

i thanked my driver and went inside my home,throwing my keys on the table and crashed on my bed out of exhaustion.

Hours had passed quickily and i fairly shocked when i woke up at 6pm.

I got dressed and rang Jasper on my way out the door,I jumped in my black Volvo and headed towards the starlight nightclub to meet up with jasper.
