Z: Elsa's office is like on it's own floor (with Anna of course) so people couldn't hear them. Yeah maybe Anna did need a bit more tact but that's Anna.

Chapter 11: The Beach

Gibbons was waiting in his car across the street from Arendelle Ski Resorts Headquarters. He had a coffee in his hand and he was watching the main entrance. He saw Elsa Winters step out of the main entrance. She got into a car that had mysteriously pulled up just as she walked out of the building. Gibbons started his engine and started to drive off.

He followed Elsa from a distance and parked a bit away from where her car was parked. He saw Elsa come towards him when she got out of her car. Gibbons quickly took out his phone and pretended to be on it but Elsa just passed him and entered the building that was directly one store down from the store that Gibbons had parked next to. The building that Elsa had entered was a fancy restaurant. Elsa wasn't dressed up but the restaurant she had entered was clearly one for a date. Elsa had a date but did that mean she has a boyfriend?

He could see Elsa take a seat down next to the window. She was talking to someone and the guy stood up and gave her a kiss. This was clearly more than a first date. Whoever she was with was her boyfriend. Elsa took a seat opposite the person and started to talk to him. She looked like she was complaining about something. Work perhaps? Elsa did have a very stressful job. He couldn't see the guy. He was just out of view. She and her date ordered food. Gibbons continue to watch as they ate their way through dinner and desert. Elsa and her date stood up but the date had his back to Gibbons. They walked out of the restaurant together but they didn't come back towards Gibbons. They were going in the opposite direction so he only got the guy's head and it was dark so he couldn't even make that out.

Gibbons knew that he couldn't follow them in the car. It would be too obvious. He decided to get out of his car and try and follow them in foot. He did but he had lost them. He had come to fork in the road with multiple exits. He decided on one and went down it but he couldn't find it. Cursing slightly, Gibbons made his way back to his car. Elsa's car had gone. Gibbons cursed even more and started his engine and made his way home. He couldn't believe he had lost them.


Elsa stepped out of her office building. She was very tired but she was looking forward to an evening with Jack. She got into her car and instructed the driver to go to the restaurant that she and Jack were going to have her date. When the car took off, she checked her watch and gulped. She was quite late. Her meeting had run quite late and she had told Jack to meet her at the restaurant. The car parked just near the restaurant and Elsa got out and headed into the restaurant. Elsa asked the Maître d to her table and he directed her to a table by the window. Elsa smiled when she saw Jack sitting there.

"So sorry," Elsa said. "Meeting ran late."

"It's okay," Jack smiled getting up to give her a kiss.

"Work has been a nightmare recently," Elsa said taking her seat opposite Jack, "as I'm sure you're been quite aware."

"Yes," Jack said picking up the menu in front of him. "They've been running you quite ragged."

"It's my job unfortunately."

The waiter came over several minutes and they ordered food. They continued their conversation while they ate. Desert was served and then Elsa paid for the food before the exited the restaurant. They set off on a nice walk towards the park together where they sat down and watched the world go by before they headed back to the car. Elsa dropped Jack off home before Elsa headed back home.

She collapsed on her bed and went to sleep before she could even undress.


The next day, Hans was on the phone talking to a client about a potential deal. Gibbons walked in but Hans gave him a signal to be quite while he closed a deal or what he thought was a deal. The client was telling him that he had decided to end their contract and change to Arendelle Ski Resorts. Hans was furious. That was the fourth client that month that had switched to his biggest competitor. They used to be on equal footing but now it doesn't seem to be like that anymore. Hans put the phone down before he turned his attention to Gibbons.

"This better be good," Hans said. "I'm not in a good mood."

"I have news," Gibbons said taking a seat in front of him.

"Well?"

"Elsa Winters has a lover," Gibbons said dramatically.

"So? That's hardly news."

"Well then why hasn't he appeared with her in any events?"

"They could be recently dating."

"They went to a really fancy restaurant; it looked more like a first date to me."

"Well then find out who it is. It could be the fact that she has a secret boyfriend. If it is, we could profit from this."

"Yes sir," Gibbons said before he got up and walked out.

Hans intertwined his fingers together. Maybe this day wasn't going to turn out bad after all.


Elsa was flicking through papers on her desk. Anna came in and sat down on the desk as Elsa was working through papers on her desk.

"I'm very busy Anna," Elsa said not looking up. "So could you make it quick?"

Anna swivelled around on her chair for a few minutes. Elsa looked up.

"What?" Elsa said.

"Nothing," Anna said. There was a pause. "Are you and Jack coming to the beach with us on Saturday?"

"Might do," Elsa said going back to writing on her documents. "I haven't really asked him yet."

"Oh, okay."

There was a knock on the door and Jamie walked in.

"Oh sorry Miss Winters, Mrs Bjorgman," Jamie said.

"Oh that's alright Jamie," Elsa said. "Fire away."

"Oh just giving you an update on the whole Pitch affair," Jamie said.

Elsa tensed a little bit. She had been wondering on what was going on in that area.

"I'm sorry but I keep reaching dead ends," Jamie finally said. "I've tried everything but I can't seem to get through and figure out who's behind this."

Elsa tapped her pen against her desk.

"What about Mr Graves?" she said.

"He's at a lost too," Jamie answered.

"Hmm," Elsa lay back in her chair thinking. "Could I ask for you to keep trying?"

"I could," Jamie shrugged. "I don't know what else to do though unless…"

Jamie then got a really weird look in his eyes. Elsa could tell it was the look of realisation dawning on him.

"Got to go," Jamie said. "I have an idea."

He bolted out of the office leaving Elsa and Anna still in there. They both watched Jamie get into the elevator and head back down to his floor. Jack soon walked in.

"Oh hello," he said brightly to Anna. "Here's what you wanted Elsa."

Jack placed several files on her desk.

"Thanks Jack," Elsa said. She paused for a moment. Now might be the time to ask him. "Jack?"

"Yeah?"

"Would you like to come to the beach this weekend with us?"

"Us? Beach?"

"Yeah, Anna's family and us. We always go at this time in the year and I was wondering if you wanted to go."

"Sure!"


On Saturday morning, Jack packed the last of his things for the beach. Two whole days away from the city. He couldn't wait. He raced out of his flat and jumped into Elsa's car. She was driving this time which surprised Jack as she had always had a driver.

"Ready?" she said.

"Yeah!"

Elsa drove them out of Jack's driveway and down the motorway. She turned on the radio and they started jamming to some of their favourite songs. Elsa, after a few hours of driving, eventually pulled into a secret road area that Jack didn't know existed and drove down it to reveal a gorgeous beach. Elsa continued driving down until a series of beach houses that looked really expensive. Elsa drove up to the nearest one and parked the car. Jack couldn't stop gaping.

"Come on," Elsa grinned.

Jack jumped out of the car and grabbed their luggage with Elsa's help. The door opened and Anna stood there with her kids.

"Aunt Elsa!" they all screamed and raced to give her hugs.

"Jack this is Josef, Helena and Heidi," Elsa said.

"Nice to meet you all, I'm Jack," Jack said giving them each a handshake and a hug.

"Are you the assistant?" Helena asked. "I heard Mummy and Daddy talking about it. Apparently you are sleeping with her. Do you guys get really tired and end up sleeping in the same room?"

"Uh," all the adults exchanged looks with each other.

"Let's get you unpacked," Anna said.

"Yeah, let's get unpacked," Elsa said.


An hour later, Elsa came out of her bathroom wearing a bikini. Jack grinned at her when he saw her. Jack just had his togs on with a towel over his shoulder and googles on wrapped around his forehead. They were all going down to the beach for some swimming. So that's how they found themselves half an hour later at the beach sopping wet.

Elsa came out of the water after having a furious splash fight with her nieces and nephew. Anna was sitting under some umbrellas and on beach chairs reading a book. She looked up when Elsa approached.

"Having fun?" she asked.

"Yeah," Elsa said grabbing her towel and drying herself off.

Jack came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Jack, you're all wet! I just dried myself off," Elsa complained giving him a slap.

Jack laughed and gave her another kiss.

"I have to admit it, you guys are cute," Anna said.

"We know," Jack and Elsa said in unison.

Elsa lay back on the sand and put some sunglasses on. She stared up at the sky. This is how it should be, she thought, relaxing in the sand. A loud noise caused Elsa to sit up. Anna's children were racing towards them with water guns. Guess Elsa wasn't going to the blissful relaxing holiday she was wanting.

"Not the book, not the book!" Anna was shouting. "It's Harry Potter! It's the most important thing in the universe! Do not get it wet!"

The kids raced past them but not before giving their Aunt a good soaking.

"Hey!" Elsa yelled.

She chased after the culprit who had sprayed her. It was Josef. Elsa picked up him and carried him off.

"No, no, no Aunt Elsa," he was screaming.

Elsa then threw him into the sea to the laugher of everyone else. Josef was not impressed with his Aunt's handiwork. Elsa walked back to where Anna was sitting. She was curled up with laugher. Elsa took a seat next to her and picked up a book.

"That's better," she said as she relaxed into the chair. "Shall we get some fish and chips to eat?"

"How very Kiwi of you Elsa," Anna said which had them laughing.

Gibbons walked through the hallways of the Southern Isles Company. He headed into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor. He knocked on a door and heard a 'come in' and he did. Gibbons entered and found his boss Hans sitting behind his desk looking expectant.

"Well?" Hans asked.

Gibbons sat down and threw a file on Hans' desk.

"Got what you wanted right there," he said.

Hans picked it up and flicked through it. The more he flicked, the more he grinned.

"Excellent, excellent," he muttered.

Hans opened a desk drawer and pull out a thick yellow envelope. He threw it to Gibbons who caught it and tucked it away in an inside pocket of his jacket.

"That's your payment," Hans said. "Good work."

"Thanks sir," Gibbons said.

Hans grinned as he looked back down at the file before him.

"Oh this is just brilliant," he said. "Just brilliant."
