Despite all of the cries of the queen the dark knight simply refused to listen.
It wasn't Chuck's fault that the CEO of Nadal Industries held a long meeting via webcam and it wasn't his fault that Asia and America have very different time zones so why does it feel like everything that Blair-silently- accused him of was true? Because it is, you're just ignorant of it. Chuck's inner voice told him which he refused to listen to.
"Gina! Where is my schedule?" Chuck yelled from his office completely distraught with his argument with Blair.
A woman in her mid-thirties walked in the room wearing a black pencil skirt and a white blouse. "Mr. Bass here it is." placing the laminated copy on the black polished oval table which his father bought from Italy.
Chuck straightened his tie which is-surprisingly- black not purple and sat down on his black leather chair looked at his schedule for the day and sighed, five straight meetings filled with boredom.
"I'll be sending a representative to the USA to get the merge finalize" the CEO of Nadal industries sternly said to the electronic device.
"Excellent." replied Chuck silently thanking the heavens because the difficult part is over and straighten things out with his beloved Blair, he never wanted to argue with her it's just that he was under a lot of pressure. But he was so dead wrong the hard part was barely beginning.
He exited the conference room and went back to his posh office and phoned Blair. "I'm currently unavailable now. Please leave your message after the tone" Blair's melodic voice said through the expensive phone.
"Blair, I apologize for my behavior last night. I admit it was completely uncalled for. Please meet me at the Per Se restaurant and let's talk." Chuck said almost pleadingly to the device.
"Gina!"
"Yes, Mr. Bass?" Gina said as she entered the large office
"Make dinner arrangements at the Per Se restaurant for two. I want complete privacy including media blackout" since the two started going out cameras have been following them everywhere. It doesn't help when Blair is a Manhattan elite with a mother who is a renowned fashion designer or if Chuck WAS a renowned Upper East Side playboy who is now the CEO of the leading company in America, it really doesn't.
"Yes, Mr. Bass. Anything else?"
"That's all." Before the red head woman walks away chuck "Oh, and Gina take the rest of the day off I'm leaving a little early."
Gina's eyes widened with shock "Thank you Mr. Bass but what about your meetings?"
"There's only two left, I'm sure you reschedule them right." Chuck's answer was not a question yet an order.
"Of course."
" Then I'm leaving"
The real reason of him leaving 'early' was to : rehearse what he will tell Blair, phone Nathaniel for some tips –which he's having second thought about and ask his purely Blonde step-sister of the whereabouts of Blair who rarely ever didn't answer the phone when he calls or have his PI look into it.
When he entered his limo his phone got a text message "God I hope it's from Blair" Chuck thought with uncertainty in his eyes .
He was purely mistaken.
Gossipgirl here,
S. finally on the verge of a breakdown? A little birdy told me that she saw her little sis J getting lucky with the right hand man of the red barren who I heard is in major trouble with our own Queen B. D. finally in love? Sources tell me that V captured the heart of this insider but I doubt it. I'm placing my bets on the blonde new girl. I guess D finally got over S or is he just using this unfortunate girl as a rebound? I'll be the first to know and I promise you'll be the second.
Sightings:
B spotted in Constance Billard comforting her lady in waiting S. C merging with A? great job C. D taking the new girl out in the Upper West Side. V in a bookstore in Times Square. J and N unkown.
XOXO, gossipgirl
After reading the message Chuck put his black blackberry on the leather seat of his limo and set his view on the tinted window. A child with their parents walking on the sidewalks, interns walking hastily with tall cups of Starbucks in their hands, flirty girls trying to get a look of who's in the luxurious car.
"Their lives are just so simple, so different from mine." Chuck thought looking away
His blackberry turned to life with a familiar name flashing on it's screen.
"Finally." He thought
"Chuck, I think we need a break."
As his queen said these words the ground crumbled and his heart stopped.
