Sorry for the long wait everyone. Thanks to all the reviews, I've decided on going with my own creation. Because he ain't gonna be a very nice guy. For now I'll drop hints here and there, but probably in the middle or so I'll give ya a glimpse of how bad he is.
The next morning when Anna awoke she noticed Chrissy isn't sleeping by her like she was last night. Anna whines as she crawls out of bed before Chrissy breaks something. But before Anna started to walk out of the light red room with the darker red carpet, she noticed what time it is. So she has to hurry up and change before she's late to work. Anna bent down and reached under the queen size bed and brought out her black suit case. She removes her long sleeve green silk blouse, her black form fitting dress trousers with the matching jacket and her black toe revealing high heels.
Anna removes her green knee length night gown and puts on her emerald green blouse over her black lace bra, but not before putting on her deodorant. Once she put on her blouse she put on her black pants over her black lace bikini underwear, then she sat down on the bed so she came put on her heels. Finally after clasping them on she walked over to the oak dress on the other side of the room and picked up a pink bottle of perfume. So after a few small squirts, Anna picks up her blue brush and brushes her hair a bit.
With fifteen minutes to spare Anna rushes out of her room only to come face to face with Wanda and Chrissy in her arms. Wanda is wearing a red tank top and a blue jean skirt, without any make up. While Chrissy is wearing her yellow sun dress with yellow daisies on it.
"Wanda, yer no' wearin' make up!" Wanda raises her eye brow at Anna's shocked expression as she sets Chrissy down.
"I could say the same for you." Anna shrugs, she's long done with her gothic ways, as is Wanda supposedly.
"Wanda, could ya watch Chris until Ah come back? Ah was so worried about gettin' out of there Ah didn' make any calls for a kindergarten school for her." Wanda shakes her head "Wanda Ah know its" But Chrissy cuts her mother off.
"No mama, auntie Wanda is takin' me ta school." Anna looks at her daughter and then back at Wanda, who shrugs.
"What? I called Jean and if you remember she wanted to be a doctor." Anna nods her head, but still not understanding. "Well she's a doctor, but she since she loves kids she became a teacher too." Anna smiles for the success of her old friend "She says she'd love to met your little girl, so of course Chrissy can be in her class."
"Tahnks Wanda, yer teh best." Wanda smirks as Anna praises her.
"Tell me something I don't know."
"Okay, Ah'm gonna beh late ta meh job if Ah don' get movin'." Wanda's eyes eiden
"What's your job?"
"Ah'm...Oh no Ah'm gonna beh late!" Anna rushes back into her room and retrieves her brief case. "Bye Chrissy." Anna kisses her daughter's forehead "Bye Wanda." Anna races out to her car and drives away.
After ten minutes of driving Anna finally reaches the city and right in front of a big building. She takes one finally look in her mirror to make sure her hair and make up are fine before grabbing her brief case and heading inside.
Anna walks calmly into the busy building and up to the woman sitting at the reception desk. The woman has shoulder length blonde curly hair and shimmering blue eyes, her uniform is a navy blue coat and skirt with a white top underneath. The woman is too busy reading the files in front of her to notice Anna, so she waits until she does. That's when Anna notices the name tag on her chest, it reads 'Ms. Danvers'
Not even a minute later the receptionist notices Anna and smiles at her.
"Oh I'm sorry, I was reading over something. What can I do who you?" Anna smiles at the blonde lady.
"Yes, mah name is Anna"
"Oh yes, I've been waiting for you." smiled Ms. Danvers as she got up and out of her sit. "Please follow me." Anna nods and follows her.
They walk through some white halls, where there's a elevator at the end of the hall. They step in and Ms. Danvers presses twenty-seven and the elevator goes up. After it stops they step out and walk down yet another white hall, except this one has portraits of old men, probably the old presidents. This floor has only one door and when they arrive at it Ms. Danvers turns to Anna.
"Are you ready?" Anna nods and Ms. Danvers knocks on the door once before someone answers, telling her to come in. So she opens the door and both women step in.
Inside the room there is a long oak table with five seats on each side of it and one at the far end of the table. But there is only four people on each side of the table. Four men on the left and two men and two women on the right, then at the end of the table is a middle age man. Everyone is wearing a dark colored suit and look very professional. A few people in particular are looking at her, a women with ivory hair, a bald man and a man not far away from her sitting next to a very old looking man.
On the right side of the table seats a man with short dark brown hair with matching brown eyes. An empty seat and then the women with ivory hair has chocolate skin and light blue eyes. The man on her left has blue hair slicked back and glasses. The man on her right has dark brown hair and eyes. Then near Anna sits a women who has yet to take any notice of Anna. Her ebony hair is held by a matching black hair clip.
On far end of the left side is the other empty chair, then the bald man. Next to him is a man with reddish hair and brown eyes. On his right sits an old man with gray hair and wrinkles. Then the guy close to her has black hair and dark golden brown eyes. The man at the head of the table has brown hair with graying streaks, his brown eyes looking straight at her.
"Ah Anna, Ah'm pleased t' see y' made it." Anna looks at the man near the president of the company.
"Yes, Ah'm sorry if Ah'm interruptin' somtahng." The man shakes his head.
"No, no Ms. D'ancanto. In fact we be talkin' 'bout y'. Please sit." Anna walks to him and sits at the seat he motioned to, which is right next to him. "So as Ah was sayin' pere, Ms. D'ancanto 'as worked in our company for quatre years now. She works cent et dix pourcent et never misses a day." The man at the head of the table smiles and nods approvingly.
"So mon cher, how be y'?" Everyone turned from the president and back to Anna.
"Well sir, Ah'm gonna be twenty three in a couple of weeks." Everyone but the man next to the bald guy and the guy that is sitting next to the president are surprised.
"Vous signifiez que vous êtes seulement vingt deux?"
"Oui, sir." She answers simply
"Well, Ah'm impressed. But by how did y' come t' work 'ere at nineteen?"
"Ah can answer dat pere, y' see Mercy met 'er in one of 'er classes et dey became close amis. So Ah offered Anna a mail person job in Mississippi et de next t'ing Ah know she's makin' a name for 'er self." The president, Jean Luc, turns back to Anna and folds his hands
"Well Ah mus' say Ah'm glad mon fils hired y', so when can y' start?"
"As soon as possible, sir." And if it's even possible Jean Luc looks even more impressed than he did ten minutes ago.
"Dat's bon. Ms. Danvers will y' please show Ms. D'ancanto her office?" Ms. Danvers stopped writing down her notes and looked at Jean Luc. She nods and polity signals for Anna to follow her.
As soon as they walked out everyone started talking.
"Sir, you can't honestly want to hire her do you?" asked the young man at the end of the table with black hair.
"Are y' questionin' moi judgement?" Jean Luc has never been one to like people second guessing him, especially those below him.
"I agree with you Jean Luc. Ms. D'ancanto seems to like her job a great deal." Jean Luc smiles at the bald man known as Charles Xavier.
"I've known Anna since we were children and when she cares about something she puts her heart and soul into it."
"Merci for de information Monsieur Summers. Wut do de rest of y' th'nk?"
"Well since Henri told us about her, I've looked about her files and she's made some excellent achievements. She was valor vectoring of her college graduating class, she not only has a diploma for accounting, but also veterinary. Oh and she'd been excepted into Harvard, but she wrote back saying she couldn't go, that something unexpected happened."
"Did she say why Monsieur McCoy?"
"Sadly no, but she did go to University of Phoenix."
"Ah 'ave a feelin' she'll make us proud. Wit' dat said, Ah th'nk we're done 'ere." Everyone stands up and leaves, but when Jean Luc was leaving the old man stops him.
"Jean Luc, how is your son Remy?"
"Mon fils is bon."
"Even thou that fiancee of his cheated on him?"
"Oui, but now Ah'm afraid he won't get married." The old man buttons his gray suit as he nods his head.
"Maybe you should introduce him to Ms. D'ancanto? She's very pretty and if I may say so, a better choice of a wife than that Boudreaux girl."
"Ah agree, but Ah'd rather 'ave her workin' for moi dan one of moi competitors." The old man nods his head knowingly as he too knows Remy's new found reputation with sleeping with women and then leaving them.
"Oh well, it was worth a shot. But may I remind you Jean Luc, if Remy doesn't get married within the year Mattie threatens to come up here and whip the both of you." Both men laugh as they picture the large African woman holding her big wooden spoon.
"Lets get goin' James." Both men walk out of the office room and into the elevator.
After a tour of the floors Ms. Danvers is finally showing Anna her office, which is two floors below from where they started.
"Well Ms. D'ancanto"
"Please call meh Anna."
"Okay then call me Carol." Both women smiled to one another.
"I think I've shown you everything you need to know, but don't hesitate to come and ask me anything else. You know where to find me." Anna smiles as she nods her head.
"Okay, Ah'll remembah taht." Carol walks away as Anna reaches for the door knob, but as her finger touches it she realizes she left her brief case back in the office room.
"Ah'm such an idiot." Anna heads back to the office quickly in hopes that it'll be empty. After getting out of the elevator she walks to the door, but as she gets closer she hears something. Anna just shrugs it off as her imagination and opens the door. Once the door opens Anna wishes she would have listened to herself for once.
'Nahce abs though.'
Sorry everyone, I'm tired and I just typed nine pages for this chapter. Maybe I'll update tomorrow, if not you'll have to wait until Wednesday cause I won't be home until late on Tuesday.
