S.M owns all but I get to own this fanfic
Previously
I see Mas in the far corner with Luke who is on his break. I smile making my way to the next table. "Bella" the person at the table says my name before I get to greet them. I look up to the person confused as to how they know my name.
Chapter 4
BPOV
"Remember from the park" she says then it clicks the whole Alfie situation
"Oh yeah Alice right?"
"Yep and this is Jasper my Husband" Jasper gives me warm smile
"So what can I get you two" after taking their orders I obtain their refreshments and put their order in.
Not paying attention as I walk out of the kitchen I collide with women that is coming from the direction of the restrooms.
"You Bitch" I hear this woman sneer at me.
"I'm so sorry miss" I say apologetically once were both up I see that she wearing a hot pink dress that barely covers her ass her hair a stringy blonde and her face is practically orange.
"Where's your MANAGER" she yells making a scene as everyone looks at us
"What seems to be the problem" Raul says from behind me
"Your employee here" she says pointing at me "Purposefully knocked me over" what the actual fuck is she saying
"It was an accident I swear" I interject
"Whatever I could have broken a bone" she exaggerates folding her arms across her chest
"We'll have you broken any bones" Raul questions
"No" she cuts short
"How about we give you a complementary desert with your meal tonight" Raul offers
"That's the least you could do" she says before stomping her fake ass away from us
"Raul it really was an-" he puts his hand up stopping me
"It's okay I already know what happened, Ang saw and told me before I came out" I let out a sigh of relief.
"Just don't let your clumsiness fail you at your new job" he chuckles
"I can't make any promises" I laugh along with him
"What new job" I hear Anna say
"I got a job at CPMVC, I start Monday" I say to her
"What why didn't you tell me sooner" she asked shocked
"I only found out last night actually" I tell her
She looks at me with an emotionless expression then suddenly leaps out and hugs me.
"Oh Bella dear I can't believe your leaving us" she says
"I already promised Raul that I'd always visit" I say hugging her tighter
"You're like the daughter I never had; you know I've only had Raul and my three sons"
"I know" I whisper
Sunday came along quickly and all the staff, Raul and Anna have gathered in the restaurant for my final farewell.
"Isabella you have always been an asset to the restaurant" Raul says
"I know CPMVC will gain a hard working gorgeous woman I say this behalf of everyone here were all going to miss dearly Bella we wish you all the best for your future" Anna finishes with a tear slipping down her face. I quickly give her a hug.
After saying my last goodbyes to everyone I exit the restaurant with Mason in tow.
EPOV
Holy crap Monday couldn't come any faster. I arrived at work earlier than usual to make sure that everything was fine at the office before Isabella's arrival. Making my down to the entrance I wait for her, although I did this for no else I somehow felt the need to this for her.
I waited patiently ignoring all curious looks I received from my employee's I wouldn't blame them I rarely saw any of them. There are forty floors in the building and I'm usually found on the top floor in my office.
I can almost feel myself drooling as I see Isabella approaching the front entrance walking up the stairs dressed in a tight black pant suit and heels that just elongate her legs.
"Good morning Isabella" I greet her
"Good morning Mr Cullen" she says I guess she being professional
"I wanted to give you a grand tour of the company before you start your first shift" I say whilst I hold open the door for her.
"Do you do this for all your new employee's" she questions me
"No not necessarily this will be the first and last" she blushes as my response
After giving her a grand tour of the company we reach the top floor where all the important people of the company are placed. As the elevator doors open I lead her through so she can meet everyone.
I knock on Emmett's door first.
"Yeah waddup" he calls from inside.
"Hey Em I wanted to introduce you to someone" I say opening the door he look ups form his computer
"Oooh who is it, is it a girl?" he says playfully
"Isabella meet the CCO of the company and my older brother Emmet" I say whilst closing the door behind us
"So you're 'the' Isabella, your hot" he says bluntly getting up from his desk. I chuckle at him he'll always be immature
"Em really?" I say raising my eyebrows at him
"What she is" he says shrugging his shoulders
I see Isabella is now beet red in the face.
"And what would Rose think if she heard that" I question
"She might agree" he says smugly
"Well it's nice to meet you Emmet" Isabella say's putting her and out but Emmet doesn't accept the hand shake instead he gives her one of his famous bone crushing bear hugs.
"Ca… can't bree.. breathe" Isabella manages to get out
"Em let go before you break her "I say, he sets her down
"Nice to meet you to Bells"
"Bells?" she asks
"Yeah your name has a nice ring to it so I came up with bells"
"Hmm I like it" she says smiling
"Well I'm going to introduce her to Jasper" I interrupt opening the door
"Okay cya later guys" Em says returning to his desk
I show Isabella to Jasper's office and see that Alice is there too.
"I'd like you to meet our CFO and my brother-in-law Jasper, Jasper this is Isabella"
"Hey Bella nice to see you again" Japer says, huh again?
"Hey Jasper Hey Alice" she says with a wave.
How do they already know each other?
"Oh my god how did I not see the link your the Isabella my brother has been talking about all weekend" Alice says excited
"Alice" I growl
"Really know" Isabella says looking at me, now it was my turn to blush
"Oh Eddie boy" Alice says playfully
"Shut up and don't call me Eddie you know I hate it"
"Oh well that's too bad I kind of liked it" Isabella's say. Okay so she might be an exception.
"So how do you all know each other already?" I ask all of them
"Well long story short I met Bella at the park with Alfie then Jasper saw her at the restaurant she works at the other night when we had dinner" Alice says in one breath
"I see, I see" I say
"Oh Bella did you ever get that job" Alice asks
"I did actually I got the job here Mr Cullen was just giving me a tour"
"Oh that's great I shall be seeing more of you whenever I drop by" Alice says clapping her hands.
"For sure" Isabella say's politely
Looking at the clock on the wall I see Isabella's shift is going to start soon
"We've got to go her shift starts soon" after saying goodbye I lead her to my office
I introduce her to my sectary Jessica before walking in.
"So why do they call you Bella and not Isabella" I ask curiously
"I'd rather be called Bella instead of Isabella"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
She starts the fidget "We well I.. I" she stutters
"Come on just tell me" I persist
"IlikeitwhenyoucallmeIsabella" she says so fast I almost don't catch what she's said
I look at her with an amused expression.
"Well then, you'll be working on floor thirty five with the marketing director's just look for head director Margret she'll guide you for the day"
"Thank you Mr Cullen" she says getting up
"It's alright to call me Edward at work, is it okay if I call you Bella?" she nods
"And Bella if you have any problems or need anything at all today don't hesitate just come straight to my office" I say sternly
"Yes Mr Cu- Edward" she saves her self
"Hope you have a great first day a work" I call out as she walks out of my office
As the door closes I lean back and sigh deeply. Not long after Alice decides waltz into my office without any warning.
"What do you want Alice" I say as she lounges on my office couch
"Somebody's whipped over a girl" she teases
"No I'm not" I say defensively
"Sure you're not" she teases
"I'm not"
"Whatever I saw the way you were staring at her in Japer's office you were like a love struck puppy" she says with a laugh
"Fine alright you caught me so I may have a little thing for Bella sue me" I say putting my hands up in surrender
"Well are you going to do anything about it?" she asks
"Look Ali I just met the women and it's her first day at here the last thing I want to do is to scare her away"
"Always the gentlemen you've never changed"
"You know it" I say winking at her
"Well you better do something about it I just know you guys will be perfect for reach other" she states with a dreamy look on her face
"I will, but don't you have a job to do" I say raising my eyebrow at her
"Yes I do I better get going I have a meeting in half hour bye big bro" she waves goodbye
I can't help but feel time drag on as I complete some of the company's paperwork.
BPOV
Leaving Edwards office I see Jessica give me a dirty look. Brushing it off I take the elevator to my assigned floor I can't help my smile he was such a gentlemen, who knew chivalry still existed. I found it cute seeing him blush when I found out he talked about me all weekend.
The elevator dinging brought me back to reality making my way through I find a door at the end of the hall with a plaque that said 'Margret Jamerson H.D' I gently knock on the door.
"Come in" I hear her say pushing the door open I see a short petite woman about early fifties standing over a table full of spread sheets.
"Hello I'm Isabella Swan Mr Edward Cullen assigned me to this floor and told me to come find you" I say formally
"Ah yes Edward said a beautiful young lady was going to start today" I blush at her comment
She stares back at the table I look over them too I see that there are several designs displayed for different products the company had to offer. They were good but none of them really had the "it" factor.
"What do think dear" Margret asks me
"I mean no disrespect but" she waves me off
"Don't worry everyone is entitled to their own opinion now tell me"
"Well none of these have the "pazaz" so to speak to catch an audience's attention" she signal to keep talking
"I mean there I no real direction as to were these designs are going, the colours are over powering which leads to the actual product to be lost in the whole process" I say.
She stands there looking over the design with no expression on her face. After what seems like for forever she finally speaks.
"Isabella your right" she says with a smile
"I am oh and please call me Bella"
"Yes Bella you are how do you suppose we fix this"
She motions me over to her desk I open up a new template on her computer and create a simple yet effective design. Margret looks over it then she presses a button on her desk
"Kyle come to my office" she says into the intercom. A few minutes later a dark skin man in his early thirties came walking through the door.
"Yes Margret" he says
"Come over here and tell me what you think of this design" they both look at the screen with a few mmhmm, ahh, I see, I wait nervously for their response.
"Margret this is absolutely fabulous, did you create this girl?" I'm starting to think that he might bat for the other team
"No I can't take credit for this piece our wonderful new employee Bella does"
"You're one talented young lady" he compliments
"Thank you sir" I say shyly
"Phsss call me Kyle Kye or even Kylie" he says confirming my thoughts
"I think I know what job I'm going to assign you to just give me a moment" she and Kyle step aside for a moment having their own personal conversation.
"Okay it's been decided you'll be working alongside Kyle as my other assistant in marketing designs" I feel overwhelmed.
"Are you sure I mean I can start from the bottom I can get you coffee and the paper" I rant on
"Nonsense Bella we can't let good talent go to waste" Margret says
"I second that" Kyle puts his two cents in
"Thank you so much I won't let you down" I say happily
"Kyle will show you to your office I'll let you settle in then around ten thirty I'll send you work that I want done for today" exiting with Kyle he leads me to the first door on the left outside Margret's office.
"This is your office" I look around it was spacious white walls containing the basics a desk, chair, computer and filing cabinet, going to have to decorate the place I thought to myself. Although I didn't mind the view I got from my glass window which took up the whole back wall.
"My office is right across from yours if you need anything just holler at ya boy" Kyle says leaving me to settle in.
Placing my bag under my desk I take a seat breathing in the new scent of the workplace. Moments later there's a knock on the door.
"Come in" I say a young boy about eighteen or nineteen with acne skin enters with a file of papers
"Uh Uh Miss Swan these these pppp papers were sent to you bbb by Mrs Jamerson" he stutters the whole way through. I feel sorry for the guy he was really nervous
"Please call me Bella, What's your name" I ask him
"Who me?" he says pointing to himself
"No the wall behind you" I say dumbly
"Oh sorry names Jack, Jack Bridges" he says still nervous
"What's job here Jack?"
"I work in the mail room delivering work and mail around the building"
"Must be a lot of work hey"
"Guess so, I have to go and deliver more papers" he says shrugging his shoulders. Just then an idea came to mind.
"Hey Jack since I don't know many people around here would mind having lunch with me later" I ask
"Me?" man he was so innocent
"Yeah you" I say
After giving me his pager number I got stuck into work I was surprised as to how much I actually enjoyed having to do work. Time seemed to fly by as I heard my stomach growl I knew it was time for lunch I quickly page Jack to meet up at the cafeteria at one thirty.
I wonder if Edward ever talked to any of his other employees under him. This was chance for him maybe I should ask him to join us but I don't want to seem pushy towards him. Although he did say if I needed anything. After having an internal battle with myself I grab my office keys and wallet making my way to the elevator.
Before I know it I'm making my way to down the hall to Edwards's office. I go to knock on his door only to be interrupted.
"Excuse me you're not allowed in there without an appointment" Jessica says in a bitchy tone
"Edward gave me permission to come here" I say trying to be polite
"No appointment no entry" she says. Well she can shove that so called appointment where the sun don't shine.
"Look I'm going in whether or not you say I can" I say pushing the doors open but when I do I feel someone pulling me back I keep pushing my way in when I see it's only Jessica
"Sorry Sir I told her no one was allowed in without an appointment" this girl is getting on my nerves
I can feel her clawing her fake nails into my sides.
Edward looks shocked at the sudden situation. Alright I've had enough I quickly turn around from her grasp and kick her down with my heel thank you self-defence classes.
"Sir she physically abused me" Jessica says clutching her stomach
"GET OUT OF MY OFFICE NOW!" Edward roars I make my way to the door ashamed I see Jessica looking at me smugly from the corner of my eye.
"Not you Bella I meant Jessica" I stop dead in my tracks turning around Jessica's stands there in shock.
"Didn't you hear me Jessica GET OUT!" he yells she practically bolts out the room almost tripping over her six inch heels.
Pain throbs from the sides of my body I take a seat on Edwards couch closing my eyes I control my breathing. I feel Edward by my side immediately
"Are you hurt Bella" he asks his voice full of concern I only nod
"Let me see what I can do" he offers
Opening my eyes I lift up my shirt to see the damage. There are light bruises forming on my waist and scratches marks from where she had dug her nails in.
"Nothing major I'll give you some pain killers" he says.
"So why did you come up here" he asks
"I was going to ask if you wanted to have lunch in the cafeteria before that all happened" I say waving my hand around his office.
I see anger flash through his eyes "Sorry about that I'll have serious word with Jessica" hey says
I wouldn't want to get on his bad side.
He accepts my offer for lunch. Making our way into the cafeteria everybody goes silent I look up at Edward and back to everyone who is staring at us. I can see movement near the back and notice Jack waving me over I make my way towards the table he's sitting at.
Please REVIEW!
