Chapter 3
"What?" asks Sakura.
"Well you said we were going to have words and well you are all here in my office and I don't think you are here because your bored." Says Eli getting everyone's attention away from Madison.
"Your right but do you honestly think she should be here?" says Li coldly.
"So your Li. Don't talk like I'm not here or like I'm a child. Last time I checked I had a right to hear things. If it is about my attack go ahead talk about it." Madison pauses and looks at Tori. "And what did you mean before down in the parking garage?"
"Well you didn't see your attackers so we may not catch them." Says Tori as he looks at Madison.
"Well how the hell did you get the D.A. job then?" says Madison.
Eli smiles as he watches Madison verbally attack Tori.
"Excuse me?" says Tori a little taken back from Madison's outburst.
"I didn't have to see who my attackers were to be able to put them in jail. There is such a thing as DNA, and I got it from each man that fucked me."
"I wasn't told about DNA." Says Tori as he looks at Sakura.
"Don't look at me. The only one who knew was Eli." Says Sakura as she holds her hands up in defense.
"Oh by the way we have DNA evidence." Says Eli earning a groan from everyone but Madison.
"Well then. Let's just hope that we can match it to the guys." Says Tori as he stands up and leaves the room.
"Sakura I must say your brother is grumpy." Says Madison as she turns the chair around and looks out the window.
"How did you know he was my brother? Oh wait lemme guess, Eli?" says Sakura as she looks from the back of Madison's head to Eli.
"Yup." Says Madison softly.
"So is there anything else?" asks Eli.
"Actually yes. Madison we have been getting phone calls from a Julian Star." Says Li. "He's been calling non-stop looking for you."
Madison slowly turns back around to face the group. Her face has turn from sweet to a very angry and upset face. "What did you tell him?"
"Oh um well, we told him we haven't seen you yet." Says Meilin.
"So he thinks I'm missing until the news. Perfect, he's gonna come here."
"But why?" asks Eli.
"Because he wants to see if I can keep running the company. When was the last time he called?"
"About 10 minutes ago." Says Sakura.
"What company?" asks Meilin.
"Madison's last name is Taylor. She's Samantha Taylor's daughter." Says Eli.
"Ohhhhhhhh. I see." Says Sakura.
"So if you can't run the company it goes to him?" says Li.
"Right. I don't want him here. But knowing him the last time he called he was already in the air on his way here." Says Madison as she turns back to the window.
"Why don't you want him here?" asks Meilin as she looks at Eli.
"Because he wants the company pretty bad, though not enough to hurt me. It's just he's too sweet, when my mother died he was here and he tried to comfort me. He tired too hard. It got annoying."
"Oh well you can stay with me if you want. You know kinda like I'll be your bodyguard." Says Eli.
Madison looks at Eli and smiles sweetly.
Meilin smiles and leans to her side to whisper to Li, "He'll guard every inch of her body I bet."
Li chuckles and nods.
Madison spins around and looks at Meilin, "Nice Meilin."
"Nice what?" says Meilin innocently.
"He'll guard every inch of my body?"
"How the hell did you hear that?" says Meilin loudly.
"Thanks Meilin." Groans Eli as he takes off his glasses and rubs his eyes.
"I hear more than you know." Says Madison.
Li grumbles something under his breath.
"No Li I'm not mad at her and I'm not stuck up either."
Li snaps his head up and looks at Madison, "Right then. I got work to do." He stands up and leaves the office.
Sakura smiles and runs after Li to talk with him.
"Well I have paperwork to fill out." Says Meilin as she stands up and leaves, closing the door behind her.
"You ok?" asks Eli.
"Yeah I'm fine. I'm sorry about that." Says Madison as she gets up and walks to the window that looks into the next office where Li, Sakura and Meilin are.
"It's ok. You sure are full of surprises. And I meant what I said about me being your bodyguard. I don't want you to get hurt again."
Madison turns around to face Eli. "So how about that soup." She says with a smile.
"Julian are you sure about this? I mean Miss. Taylor is a strong girl I'm sure she is fine." Says a woman sitting in the seat across from Julian on the plane.
"Do you call this fine?" says Julian as he drops a copy of the London Times on the table. On the front page is a big headline, 'Madison Taylor Raped.'
"Julian she will be fine. She handled her mother's death well."
"Jenny they weren't that close to begin with. I just have to make sure for myself. Plus I want her to meet you."
"You think now is a good time for her to meet me?"
"Why not." Says Julian with a smile.
