Chapter 5
It was a Monday morning when Buffy woke up, ready for the task that lay ahead of her. This was her first day at her new temporary firm. The firm she actually worked for in New York owned the firm she was temporarily working for in Sunnydale. Since Buffy's main expertise was analytical assessment, her boss asked her to help reinforce the team at the Sunnydale firm because of a huge case that just lay upon their hands.
As Buffy dressed she made sure she looked appropriate yet sexy. When she made a last assessment on her designer outfit, she took off to the Sunnydale firm.
It didn't take her long to get there, since she remembered where it was all those years ago. She couldn't believe the many changes that took place around the town but she was relieved to still see her favourite haunt, the Bronze. When Buffy parked into the lot she couldn't help compare her modest Lexus to all the porches, Ferrari's and all the luxury cars she saw. Of course they would never measure up to the cars she had seen at her firm but she was surprised that the people in Sunnydale had this many flashy cars as well.
As she strode inside the door she couldn't help but feel confidant of the role she was to play on the newly famous Stradford case she was representing. Buffy knew damn well her reputation preceded her. She was known to find critical, evidential facts that have won cases time after time along with her gorgeous blonde looks.
When she entered the building she couldn't help notice the cold stare she got from the secretary. Buffy did a double take on the secretary when she noticed she looked vaguely familiar.
The secretary coolly said, "The elevator is to your left. Press the top floor to reach your destination Ms. Summers."
Her voice caught Buffy's attention. She couldn't help but be surprised at who the secretary was.
"Harmony? Is that you?" Buffy asked.
"Yes. It's me. By the way I believe it was you at the charity function I saw. You look a tad under the weather, you know, blochy eyes and all. Is that why you left so early?" Harmony faked in a valley girl tone.
Buffy and Harmony were enemies since elementary school. Some things will never change Buffy thought. Airhead, Harmony actually found a job. Figures.
"No, unfortunately Harmony, I was too busy having a life and realizing I have a real job with an important status is why I left so early. I was called in for work and such but of course you wouldn't know, only having a 7-5 shift only filing paper and such right?" Buffy smirked and walked to where the elevator was leaving a scowling Harmony feeling stupid.
When Buffy reached her destination another secretary awaited her.
This secretary was this time nice to her.
"Oh! You must be Buffy Summers. Although you are a bit late its something not to worry. I bet you could get away with anything. They are expecting you. I've heard so much about you! I believe it was you I saw at the charity function a couple days ago. How beautiful you looked!"
Buffy couldn't help but blush. "Oh thanks. Wow. I guess everyone attends these social functions huh?"
The secretary replied, "Of course! There's not much to do around here but go to these things you know? I'll warn you ahead of time though, watch out for most of the women in this firm. There very catty and I could tell right away that they'll treat you bad just because your from New York and plus your really pretty."
"Oh, I'm actually from Sunnydale but moved to New York. With the women though, don't worry, I can handle them. Already had to with Harmony down there. Thanks for the warning! Your name isâ?"
"Fred. Just call me Fred. I just know we'll get along!"
"Thank you Fred. I know at least I have you to help me get adjusted at this firm."
Fred escorted Buffy to what was their main boardroom where all the discussions took place and such. When they stopped at the door, Fred gently knocked on the door. Several moments later a tall, aged man came out. He silently nodded to Fred who went and returned to her desk then he turned and faced Buffy.
"Well, well. It's about time you showed up. Our meeting has been boring without you. It's nice to finally meet the critically acclaimed Buffy Summers. My name is Garnett Smith and I'll be your boss for the time being. Let me show you in and you can meet your fellow co-workers who you will be spending most of your time with.
As they both walked in, Mr. Smith cleared his throat and said, "Ladies and gents, for this specific case I'll like you to welcome to the team Ms. Summers."
Buffy didn't notice the jealously the women felt in the room nor the men who clearly stared at her in awe and lust. All she noticed was the man who was across the room from her in a fitted Georgio Armani suit staring right back at her. Her one and only Angel.
Author's Note Ahhhâ don't kill me! I've been working non-stop throughout the summer and I shouldn't even have written this chapter because of how busy I am. Hopefully things will get calmer so I have more time to write. Hopefully I can get the next chp up in a couple of days but I'm making no promises! Thank you so much for all the great feedback! You guys are so great for hanging in there with me.
