Promise Me - Chapter 14
Gia walked out as the elevator opened its doors to the deception floor. Gia looked around to take a quick survey of the room, she was nervous as all hell. She hadn't worked since she married Jonathon. She wondered if she could still pull it off.
She tried to get the attention of the man at the desk to ask him where she should go, but he was on the phone and seemed rather excited about something. Gia looked around and decided to take a seat in the chairs against the wall. She started paging through a magazine when somebody tapped her. Gia looked up and saw Carly staring back at her.
"Uh.Hey Carly, right?"
"Yeah. And I thought your name is Catie." Carly said with a confused look on her face.
"Uh. yeah it is. Why?" Gia answered, trying not to panic.
"Well I said it about a thousand times and you just sat there."
"Um. Well I was just really into this article." Gia told her, hoping Carly believed her.
"Whatever.we have to get to work."
"Okay, what do you need me to do?" Gia told her desperate to please her new boss.
"Follow me," Carly motioned to Gia and started a fast paced walk down the hall.
"Uh.. where are we going?" Gia asked her nervously.
"Laura's office, meeting about the Face." Carly answered quickly.
Gia pulled Carly's arm and dragged her to the side of the hall. "Who is Laura? What meeting? And what the hell is 'The Face'?" Gia demanded of Carly not caring who she was, she was terrified she was walking into a trap.
"Laura owns the other half of the company, the meeting is about 'The Face,' and 'The Face' is our new campaign. Stop acting all high and mighty, don't forget I'm the reason YOU are here."
"I'm sorry Carly I just want to know what I'm getting myself into," Gia apologized. Carly accepted by nodding and continuing on down the hall.
Carly pushed open the door containing a nameplate with 'Laura Spencer' on it. As they walked in, the people in the room abruptly stopped talking. Gia recognized two of the three people in the room. One she recognized as the man at the desk from the lobby; and the other was the snooty-assed bitch from 'Kelly's.' It was Elizabeth the waitress, little Lizzie Wizzie herself.

Jonathon walked back and forth, pacing with intensity while he yelled at his men. "So you're telling me that there has been no sign of her?"
"Uh-yes. yes sir," one of the men answered, scared that 'Jonny' would take his anger about the disappearance of his wife out on him.
"What about-"
The entrance of his father, who spoke softly, interrupted Jonathon, "Son, if Corinthos had taken her we would've heard something by now."

Lucky walked into Nikolas's office, Nikolas was on the phone and scowled as soon as he saw Lucky. Lucky smirked and took a seat on the other side of Nikolas's desk.
Nikolas hung up the phone at looked at Lucky, "What do you want?"
"I was wondering how it was going with your new roommate." At Nikolas sour look he added, "So tell me. How's it going?"
"Lucky I don't even know where to begin."
"Start from the beginning and don't leave anything out."

"Uh.. Carly what are you doing?" Asked Laura contemptuously.
"I'm baking a cake," Carly replied in the most sarcastic bitter voice she could muster. "What does it look like, I'm here for the meeting."
"Yes, well then who is this you brought with you?" Laura asked in a mockingly sweet voice.
"Well, this is Catie. She is perfect for the 'Face of Deception' campaign."
