Lady Million
Chapter 1
There was I, sitting in the middle of room waiting until it would be all over. Only, something deep insight me told me that this was only going to be the beginning of all the shit. I was sitting alone in a room waiting for my punishment to come. He would come and take me away from everything I love. It would only be a matter of time before he would stand in front of me. Shivers went down along my back. I felt restless and weak; there wasn't a way to stop him. When I heard weird noises, I could feel that my heartbeat was exaggerating with every second that went by. My breath got out of my control and my hands began to shake. After every second the noises came closer to where I was. I was looking at the door and it was slowly opening. My heart was beating so fast that it wouldn't take long before it would snap. A terrifying scream came out of my mouth.
"I've got you."
I woke up with a loud scream. These dreams were really getting me sick and tired. Every day of last week didn't go by without having a nightmare. My head was hurting like hell, it felt like it was going to explode in just a few minutes. With a lot of difficulty I managed to get out of bed. My muscles were feeling heavy and weak. Every step I took felt like I had walked a mile. Slowly I walked into the bathroom and took a long a warm shower, what made me muscles loosen a little. I got out of the shower and got dressed; today I had an important meeting with a few of the shareholders.
"Miss Swan, you have arrived. The first shareholders will be here in less than a half hour." I nodded at my assistant, Angela, and walked through the corridor to one of the meeting rooms. I started to collect all the information for the presentation and made sure that everything was ready. Not long after I finished the first shareholders came in, I welcomed them all. Another quarter went by; everyone except for the most important shareholder had arrived. Edward Mason had more than forty present of the shares of the company. Every few seconds I watched my watch and soon started to get impatient. It was true that Edward Mason was the most important millionaire in the US but it didn't give him any right to be late. I decided that I would wait another five minutes and if he still wasn't here I would just begin.
"We will start the meeting. I am very happy that you are all here, my name is Isabella Swan..." I wanted to talk further but I was interrupted.
"Well not that happy because you didn't wait until I was here." I turned around and I looked right into two extremely beautiful green eyes. For a few seconds I didn't have any idea what I had to say. Those piercing green eyes were making my mind totally empty.
"You were late for more than a quarter; I can't keep waiting for everyone who is late." Edward Mason looked at me like he could kill me.
"Do you have any idea who I am?" He asked me, his mouth was one long line. I looked at the last empty seat.
"Well, there is standing Edward Mason. So I guess that must be you." This only made him even angrier. The other shareholders were looking at me like they were afraid that Edward Mason was going to kill me.
"I had only heard prizing news about you Miss Swan. But as I see you now, here talking to me like that, I can see that none of them are true." My mouth felt open and I was staring at him with big eyes.
"What are you saying?" In my voice you could hear the suspicious.
"No one talks to me like that you are fired." His voice was hard and cold. The beautiful green eyes that held mine, they didn't show any kind of emotions. I began to laugh.
"You can't fire me, unless all the other shareholders agree with you." A smile arose on his face.
"That was the reason why I wanted this meeting. I bought all the shares Miss Swan." Shit! I wanted to defend myself but he took the word.
"There is no need for an explanation. My man will show you the door." He flipped his fingers and two security guards came into the room and dragged me to the exit.
"Mr. Mason wishes you a good afternoon and you are not welcome anymore." One of the guards said when I was standing outside the building. For a few seconds the guards looked at me but then got back into the building. There was I standing, workless and alone. A great deal of anger was flowing flew through my veins.
It was a few weeks later and I found a new job. I was now an assistant at Black Inc. It was actually a very enjoyable job, it was much better than at Mason Inc. The people were much nicer than at Mason Inc.
"Bella, we have a very important meeting today. I need you to be the notetaker." I looked up from my paperwork to my boss.
"Of course Mr. Black. Is there anything else?" He shook his head and for a few seconds his eyes held mine.
"I really enjoyed our date, yesterday." A small smile arose on my face. We had a great dinner and a walk on the beach, a perfect date with the perfect guy. Jacob had made me feel so special and loved.
"I also had a lot of fun. I hope you can repeat it sometime." We were looking at each other intensively until Jacob's watch began to bleep.
"Yes, let's go." We walked next to each other and so now and then I felt that Jacob was going to grab my hand. It was tinkling like hell and on my face there arose a mayor blush. He always knew how to make me blush. When we entered the meeting we were the only one there.
"They will arrive soon." Answered Jacob the question that I hadn't spoken out loud. We got settled and I took me notice book out of my bag. I led my pen drop and bend down, during someone that entered the room.
"Are we ready to begin?" I froze, that voice, I would recognize it everywhere. I didn't dare to come up but I had to, my job was to represent Black. Inc.
"Mr. Mason, it is a pleasant to see you again." Edward's attention was fixed on me. His eyes searched my face; they were still cold and hard.
"It's been a while. I can see you found your way back into business." It was the only thing he said to me. The meeting was boring and long, so now and then I got a glare from Jacob. I could see that Edward was good in his job because he got everything he wanted. The contract ended to be precise as he wanted it.
They shook each other hands and said there goodbyes. Then out of nowhere Edward walked over to me. He grabbed my hand and placed a soft kiss on it.
"It has been my absolute pleaser to see you again Miss Swan." That was the last thing that was said in the meeting room.
I hope you enjoyed it. This will not be a short story. But with one with a lot of drama and Bella who has to figuer out her feelings.
Please Review! XD
