Chapter Five: So What Shall We Order?

The meeting went from 1 to 4! God, that took forever, with the chief executive rambling on and on with new investments and high produce. Well it would have been all good, if that Malfoy would just stop staring! I mean come one, if he thinks I can't notice him staring then maybe he needs to visit a doctor or something. As soon as the meeting was finished, Ginny literary ran for the door, promising to call a few of the executives there for further discussions on the new investments.

Draco watched as Ginny ran for the door, nearly tripping on one of the chairs. Whats stuck up her arse? Saying a few farewells and leaving for his next appointment, draco left to consult with his personal assistant, Blaise. The only reason he hired Blaise was because the were always good friends in school, if it wasn't for that, you wouldn't be seeing any handsome male walking around, you would probably see a good lookin' female strutting around. Blaise blasted him as soon as Draco had stepped outside the door. He was fuming because of how long the meeting took, only giving them an hour to get draco ready and get him down to Le Jamela, a beautiful Middle Eastern restaurant where he would be meeting t he vice-president of Wizard & Co. Designs and Advertisements. Cursing, Blaise rushed out of the building and they both apparated for the International Draconis Bank and Investments.

As soon as Ginny entered her large office on the fourth floor, her assistant, Lily attacked her for being half an hour late. "Where the hell were you!" she yelled, her beautiful face turning a slight tinge of pink. "What? No, 'hey there, nice to see you again'? Ginny said with wry humor touching her lips. After being yelled at for Ginny's tardiness, Lily rushed Ginny into the washroom and opened her wardrobe. Ginny watched in amazement, while Lily threw things from her closet and picking out what to wear, she continued to bombard Ginny and accuse her of losing the investment she had to gain. Thinking the young woman would never finish with her accusations, Lily came out of the closet holding out a simple, but elegant body-fitting black dress. It ended just above her knees and slanted all the way down to her ankles. It came with a black collar necklace with a diamond on it, and high-heeled sandals outlines in tiny diamonds. Pushing Ginny behind t he dressing screen, Lily waited for Ginny to finish getting ready. When she was done, Ginny came out and Lily was proud of what she pulled together with half an hour to spare. Saying a few charms, Ginny's hair was pulled up into an elegant fix with a few of her shorter pieces of hair hanging about her face, curled at the ends. Not too much makeup was applied, only a little goldish brown to accent with her hair. The result: stunning! With out anymore dallying, Ginny apparated with 10 minutes to spare before the president of International Draconis Bank and Investments

"For God sakes Blaise!!!, calm down before I hit you over t he head with a crane bare!" Muttering a few apologies, Blaise finished helping Draco get ready for the dinner meeting. He looked good Draco had to admit. Dressed in a black armani suit, hair no longer slicked but in a messy boyish look, Blaise -for some reason- said that, that was the style in these days. "Shit, sorry, but we have less than 5 minutes to get you the hell out of here, before the dinner starts, come on!" "Tell me again why I have to do this, its not like we need anymore branches" Draco said, exasperation etched in his voice. "We need to establish a firm alliance with Wizard & Co. Designs and Investments before the Atlantis World Investments gets a hold on them. We need this alliance to further or own careers! No get going!! Draco disapparted with out further arguments before Blaise had a chance to explode on him.

Ginny entered Le Jamela looking like a goddess. It was a good thing she didn't notice the many eyes on her or she would probably just leave the restaurant. After being seated by the host, she ordered a glass of mineral water and waited for this high and mighty president. 10 minutes later, he still didn't show up, she was early, but it was five o'clock and being a few minutes late wasn't that bad. Another ten minutes later, he still hadn't shown up. Ginny was on the verge of getting up and ordering when a certain someone entered the restaurant. Oh my God! Ok Gin, slowly head for the washroom and he won't even notice you're here, then come back. If this damn president didn't show up till then, she was high tailin' it out of there. Once safe inside the washroom, Ginny decided to pamper herself until she could afford to get of here.

Late, hate being late himself, Draco didn't like to wait for people to show up, he was always an impatient man but would never show it. The vice- president of Wizard & Co. should have been here 10 minutes ago, well he should have been ere 10 minutes ago as well but we won't get into that. He asked the host if the lady that was suppose to have dinner with him, had arrived. The host said, indeed that a young redhead had come in about 20 minutes ago. That said, Draco headed back to his table and ordered a scotch. Hmm, redhead? Redhead!

Just then, he saw her leave the women's washroom, and head for this table, she wasn't exactly pay any attention to the table, and had not notice it other occupant until she had drew up to the table. Taking a step back, she gasped in surprise and continued to stare, thinking of what she had done to deserve such horrible association. Trying to utter an intelligent comment, she was quickly cut off by Draco's lazy, self assured smirk and his wry comment, "So, what shall we order?"
