Sometime you don't see what's right in front of you.
I got a need to feed help a sista out.
6:30 am
As usual Elizabeth Webber walked into Morgan Securities and did what she always did. Get the day started right, she sat down at her desk in front of the massive doors of her boss Jason Morgan and booted up the system. She took off her shoes and walked into his office, large bay window show off the city of New York and just behind his six food desk. She laid out the day's contracts, his schedule for the next week and the letter. She went into the kitchen and started the coffee, set up the conference room for the first of three large meetings.
7:30 am
She sat behind his desk the leather smelled of his cologne it sank in with his size and all just reminded her of him. She drank her coffee out his favorite mug and began doing the rest of the days work on his computer.
8:30 am
Some of the other Admins began trickling in saying the usual good morning and congregating to the kitchen to have a cup of her coffee.
-He didn't take her?
-Keep your voice down, you knows she hears everything.-
-Who'd he take?
-Emily.-
-What? That bastard.-
-You should have heard his sister she was yelling at him for an hour about how just couldn't do something like that. You know him in one ear out the other.-
-Has she said anything?
-What could she say; you owe me this I should get an award for putting up with you-
-She should.-
They all began to laugh.
-Elizabeth-
-The master's voice, I bet you 20 he doesn't even apologies.-
-I won't even take that bet.-
-Yes- She walked into his office.
-Morning, I need you to do a few thing before this meaning with Corinthos.-
-What-
He began laying things out details on how he wanted everything done.
-I've done it already.-
-You have? Oh um I'm sorry.-
-Fine.-
-No Elizabeth I mean I'm sorry about last night.-
She looked at him with that same emotionless looked on her face.
-I should have asked you to the ceremony. That award is as much yours as it is mine. But this Corinthos thing was…- The phone rang. Jason was thinking god for small favors right then.
-Hello of course Parker send them up. Mr. Corinthos and his people are here.- He said hanging up the phone. –So, let's get this show on the road; this should be big for us.-
-I don't doubt it.-
Jason sweeps up his folder and everything else. Elizabeth showed Michael Corinthos 'Sonny' to his friends into the conference room. Showing him a seat and getting him coffee, he and Jason said there hello's and the meeting began. While Max was going over the numbers, Jason notice the envelop he opened it and began to read it. What was this? Panic? Fear? Anxiety? There were a few things he wanted to do but was trapped he looked around the room. Emily noticed and put her hand on his arm, he looked at her like a caged animal.
Mr. Morgan
I am tending my resignation form Morgan Securities. I believe that there is no longer a reason for me to be here and I am looking forward to finding a new and better horizon. It has been my pleasure to give this company and you ten years of service. I will tend my finally day two weeks form the date of this letter.
Elizabeth Webber.
Finally the meeting was over Jason quickly said his goodbyes to Sonny and asked Emily to apologies for his behavior. He flew out of the conference room and looked around for Elizabeth. Mary pointed to his office; he walked in and closes the door with a slam. Elizabeth looked up from his computer and arched a brow. Jason licked his lips and took a deep calming breath.
-What is this-
-A letter of resignation.-
-Why did you give this to me-
-I believe it's common for someone who's leaving.-
-You know what I'm talking about-
-Yes I do.-
-Elizabeth last night was stuffy boring party you couldn't have really wanted to go to that.-
-No not really.-
-Then I can tear this up-
-No you can't.-
-Elizabeth I don't find this funny.-
-I'm not joking.-
-I need you right now.-
-I need to leave right now.-
-Why-
-Because I've wasted 10 years of my life.-
Jason blinked 'wasted' what does she mean wasted? She helps him build this company this was as much her company as it was his how she could think she wasted her life. He was starting to get angry.
-Excuse me. Wasted I don't think the success of this company was a waste.-
-Nor do I, I didn't say the success of this company was a waste. I said my life was a waste.-
-How could you say the look around, this place is as much yours as it is me.-
-It says Morgan Securities not Morgan-Webber. All this place is to me is where I work.-
Jason felt like he'd been slapped. Emily and the Adimn gathered around the door, Elizabeth and Jason locked in his office for more then twenty minute meant someone was getting fired or trouble for the company. They all waited as Jason voice got louder.
-Elizabeth I know that I can be an ass sometimes I don't thank you as much as I should. I work you hard; I do because I can go on about the day knowing that you'll get the job done. I trust you with my company and my life.-
-Find a replacement.-
She walked towards the door and Jason grabbed her arm. She gasped and pulled away, Jason sighed.
-You can't easily be replaced. What is this really about-
-I've wasted my life, 10 years of my life; you have this company to show for all your hard work. I have nothing, I have 5,000 in the bank, an apartment that's a whole in the wall and nothing else.-
-Elizabeth you can say that Morgan Securities is your hard work, I'll give you a raise if that what you want.-
-No.-
She turned again.
-I can't believe your doing this to me. Now of all times when I need you the most! Damn you-
The Admins had to restrain Emily from going into the office.
-You.-
Even Jason jumped usually calm and collect Elizabeth Webber was now as mad as hell.
-For the last 10 years I've carried YOU and this fucking company on my back. I've begged, barrowed, lied, cheated and stole for this company. I've been shot at, blown up, beat up, and you only came to the hospital once in the six times I've been in it because of you! Whereas I've been at your bed side in both hospital and home. I've put up with you fucking mother and her shitty comments. I've clean up your vomit when you where drunk, driven you to AA when you weren't sure you could handle another day. I cleaned your house, your clothes. I watched you bring in snot nose kids and listened as they boss me around and tell me how to run this place. The cherry on top of all this is that bitch Courtney, the women who's made it her personal business to make each moment I have to spend with her a living unending hell. What do I have to show for it no college degree because I'm here 24/7 while you in bed sleeping or fucking her and bowl full of my OWN dreams rotten and useless. You are the one who can go to hell Jason Morgan.-
Jason swallowed her words like a bitter lump in his throat.
-Why did you stay-
-Because I am in love with you.-
