Annabeth's POV

I walked into the building where I was going to be working at an architectural firm. It was a huge, beautiful building. I went into the elevator and went to the eleventh floor. I walked in and was greeted by all the new colleagues. The company had transferred me to New York so I agreed to work in their other franchise.

"Morning! You must be the transfer." A smiley intern said. Their were 14 intns smiling at me. "We got you a coffee." A guy said, smiling. I thanked them. I looked at them and raised an eyebrow. " Can I help you with anything?" I asked.

"Can I work with you!" A short girl said. "No, can't I!" Another shouted. They all started asking the same question. I was really confused. The elevator dinged open and everyone was quiet to see who had arrived. I recognized him as the company's New York head. "Annabeth! Great to see you." He said, smirking.

"I told them the foreign design architect was coming today and they all want you to help with their design." He said, smirking as he hung up his coat. He was cheeky and liked seeing me irritated. The reason as I had gone to university with him and we had been good friends.

"Matt. I am still trying to get used to New York. Can't someone else help them?" I asked. "Nope." He said, smiling. He shooed them all away and showed me to his office. He closed the door behind him and put his things down.

"Annabeth!" He said, giving me a hug. I returned, not having seen him for four years. "How you?" He asked. He took my hand in his and looked me in the eyes. I removed my hand from his. "Matt. I have a boyfriend." I said, looking him in the eyes. He sighed. "I'm sorry." He said, walking to his desk and sitting down.

"You're a great guy but I just don't want to ruin our friendship and I have a boyfriend." I said. He gave me a smile. "I understand." He said. I let out a breath of relief, remembering he was very understanding. He showed me around and showed me the two interns I was going to help. The joys of work.

~Line Break~

"Hey Ann, can you pop upstairs and give this to the boss there. His dad has plans for a new building for his company in Florida." Matt said. I took the papers and gave him a smile. "Sure." I said.

I went up in the elevators and onto the next floor. A pretty girl with black hair and eyes that seemed to change color looked up at me. She gave a smile and stood up.

"Hi I'm Piper. How can I help you?" She asked. A Latino looking guy and agirl with brown hair and golden eyes appeared through a corridor with papers. They both gave me a smile. "Hi I'm Annabeth. Here for some architectural papers." I said, holding up my papers. Piper pressed a button and said, "Someone to see you Mr Jackson!"

I waited a moment until someone walked in. "Hi, are these the plans for- Annabeth?" He said. My heart leapt as I saw Percy. He was dressed in jeans and a t shirt . "Hi Percy." I said, giving him a smile. He returned it. "Hey Percy, I wanted to- oh, who is this?" I heard a guy say. I turned around and saw a guy with blonde hair and blue eyes with a Chinese looking guy next to him.

He was smirking at Percy. "I never knew you were an architect." Percy said, smiling. "Well we met while moving my couch so..." I said, chuckling. I handed him the papers and straightened my dress. The elevators dinged open and in came Matt.

He was on the phone but put it against his chest while he talked. "Ann, I forgot my flight to Germany was today. I'm going to be their for the next two months. I am putting you in charge of this plan." He said, pointing at the papers in Percy's hands.

"But I was supposed to be in charge of interns?" I said, as he walked back to the elevator. "Its fun seeing you irritated." He said with a smirk on his face. "Don't worry, you're Annabeth Chase, the girl who can do anything." He said, smiling. The doors closed and I gaped at where he had just been.

"Um, what just happened?" the Latino guy asked. I sighed and said irritably, "My oh-so-wonderful friend just gave me your plans." I said, rubbing my temples. "Well we are supposed to have a meeting in half an hour. You can have a look at the plans and walk us through it." Percy said.

The girl with golden eyes showed me to the coffee room. I sat down and was handed a coffee. "Oh, thank you." I said, smiling at the Chinese looking guy. They all came into the room, I'm guessing for their lunch breaks. Percy sat next to me with a cup of coffee.

I studied the plans. My eyes skimmed over every sketch. One spot caught my eye. I looke closer. It wasn't drawn properly. Do you have an eraser ad a pencil?" I asked. Piper got me the needed utensils and I put my coffee down.

I started sketching away at the area. When I was happy with it, I put the plans to the side and sat Back with the coffee. "Are you part Greek?" I asked Percy. "Excuse me?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. "Your building, it has Greek authentication." I said, smiling at it. "I specialize in Greek buildings being Greek myself." I said, proudly.

"That's so cool!" He said, smiling. "Oh, how could I forget. Annabeth, this is Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel and Leo. Guys, meet Annabeth." They all gave me a smile and shook my hand. "How long have you all known each other?" I asked, out of the blue. "5 years now. Jason, Percy and I went to the same high school." Piper said, happily.

"When-" Leo started to ask, but was interrupted by my phone ringing. I got it out and saw it was my dad. I gave a nervous sigh and answered. "Hi Dad." I said. "Annabeth, are you back at work?" He asked, his usual annoyed tone. "Yes dad." I said, wiping my hand on my dress.

"I wanted to tell you that I'm flying Dave down to see you in a months time. He is going to propose and you will say yes." He demanded. I felt the tears welling in My eyes. I knew there was no point argueing so I said, "Yes dad, bye."

I point my phone on the table and and sat back, closing my eyes and rubbing my temple. "Is something wrong?" Hazel asked, uneasily. I decided to not make them all think I'm a weird person, and said, "No, it's fine. Don't worry." They all looked in sure but left it.

"So everyone ready to discuss the plans?" Percy asked.


Friday

I had been to see them a lot for the plans. It was already 16:45 when we finished it up. "Thanks guys." Percy said. We all smiled. I got my bag and started towards tHe door when Hazel said, "Do you want to join us for a drink at this place called Martie's?" I thought about it. "It will be really fun." Percy reassured me.

"Sure, I'd love to." I said smiling. Let me just go make sure everything is closed up downstairs and I will meet you at the bottom." Percy smiled. "See you in a bit."
