New chapter! I'm really busy at school so I haven't really put much detail into it so it's mainly dialogue. TFHMS will get an update soon when I've thought of an idea... Whoops. Anyway, please REVIEW as I love reading about what you've got to say :)
Becky, xox
Beca walked back into her and Jesse's house after her date with Chloe.
"Yeah sure. I'll have it to you by tomorrow morning... Bye," Beca heard Jesse huff and a phone land on their island.
"Everything okay?" Beca kissed Jesse's cheek and sat on a stool.
"Yeah, my boss wants my report tomorrow morning so Ms Posen can use it in court tomorrow evening." Jesse shrugged and continued cutting vegetables.
"Ah, miss Posen. The uptight blonde who is CEO of Posen & Sons?" Beca rolled her eyes, she'd met miss Posen before and she hated everything about her. Aubrey Posen was everything Beca was not; blonde, smart, tall and drop-dead gorgeous we're just a few adjectives out of many.
"She's not uptight," Jesse rolled his eyes, "she's actually nice once you get to know her."
Beca scoffed, "right. Anyway, what's for dinner?"
"You would know had you actually gone and brought the ingredients like I'd asked. We're married Bec, I love you but you still need to pull your load." Lie 1 of many. Beca nodded.
"Yeah, yeah. Stir fry?" She looked at the spring onions Jesse was chopping into small slices and groaned. "Why can't you just bring food back from work?"
"Because I don't eat in the cafeteria with everyone else." I eat with my boss' boss...
"Well can you?! You guys have the best food, have you tried the tacos?!" Beca gave her husband a 'seriously-I-want-tacos' look.
"No Beca!" Jesse sighed exasperated. "We're having stir fry and that's that! No buts!"
Three hours later and he found himself outside a house that could be classed as a mansion. Beca hadn't enjoyed the stir-fry, which annoyed Jesse to no end. Then, when we asked her to clean up, he ended up sopping wet and in need of a new suit. Jesse parked his car next to an Mercedes Benz SLS already parked on the drive. Sighing, Jesse got out of his car and walked to the front door.
"Please be in, please be in..." Jesse caught a glimpse of blonde hair in the window. He smiled as the door opened.
"Hey Jess, I wasn't expecting you until tomorrow," Aubrey smiled and moved aside to let him into the house. "Sorry, I'm just eating dinner."
"That's fine," he smiled and hung his jacket up, "how are you?" He walked into the kitchen where Aubrey was now sitting at the island, eating Caesar salad and looking at a pile of paperwork.
"I'm good." She smiled and signed a piece of paper. "You?"
Jesse shrugged, "the usual, work, home, stir-fry." 'Because I definitely don't have a wife...'
"You know you're welcome here if you need company. Why are you wet?" A perfect eyebrow was raised in Jesse's direction.
"I-er... Got attacked by the kids next door and they squirted me with water pistols. My car is soaked."
Aubrey shook her head and laughed. "Only you Jess,"
"I guess so..."
"So, you're the new lawyer?" Adam 'Bumper' Allen scoffed as Jesse struggled to hold the paperwork he'd been handed.
"Yep, and I plan on working my way up!" This statement caused Adam to burst out laughing.
"Work-work your way up?! Are you nuts?!"
Jesse frowned. "What's wrong with that?"
Adam regained his composure. "Unless head bitch likes you, and I mean REALLY likes you, you're staying were you are."
"Like... In an intimate way?"
Adam winked at a female employee and walked into the elevator. "Yeah, duh."
Jesse sighed. "And she's an old crone, am I right?"
Adam chuckled, "just you wait."
Jesse looked out the window and frowned. "New car?"
"Yep," Aubrey tapped her pen against the island.
"What happened to the Porsche?"
"Luke crashed it, again." She sighed, "I need to stop letting him drive my car."
Jesse chuckled and sat beside her, "I think that's a good idea."
Looking at the frosted glass doors that stood between him and the CEO of the company, Jesse felt small. Adam smirked as the secretary outside the door phoned inside the large office.
"Don't be nervous, yet."
Jesse audibly gulped as the secretary put down the phone.
"Miss Posen will see you now."
Adam clapped Jesse on the back. "Have fun Swanson, feel free to join Donald and I for lunch." He began walking away, "if you're still alive that is." Jesse gathered his courage and walked into the office, to say he was shocked by the interior would be an understatement. A plush couch was along one side of the room with a glass coffee table in-front of it. Further into the room was a glass desk with an iMac and various papers on it. Jesse gaped as he saw the view from the glass wall which looked over Los Angeles like it was an ant.
"Can I help you?" Jesse snapped his mouth shut and he looked at the tall blonde walking over to the desk.
"Um. I'm Jesse, Jesse Swanson."
"Ah, the new lawyer. Have you worked in a firm like this before?" Ms Posen walked behind her desk and sat down.
Jesse shook his head. "No... I haven't." He smiled, "I'm really hoping to learn from my superiors though."
The blonde nodded, "ambition is always smiled upon."
"Good."
"Now Mr Swanson, I only hire the best here. If you are found to be not working to your fullest your contract will be terminated. I don't like firing people but I don't like people doing minimum work for their paycheck. And don't then sue me as I think I'll win." Jesse shuddered at her tone. "Understood?"
"Yes Ms Posen."
