Okay, okay! I know that it really has been a heck of a time since I last posted a chapter on this story, but better late than never right?
Also, for the next little while I do intend on focusing on this story so I hope that there will be a few more chapters.

"Christian!" I giggled, as I tried to fight off the kisses that he was trying to give me. It was Monday morning – the first day of my new internship at Grey Enterprises Holdings, and I was already running late. Mainly because of Christian.
"What?" he answered, but I was drowned out by the pressure of his lips on mine once again.
"It's late – I really, really need to get going to work" I said – there was no need to tell him that it was my first day.
He sighed, and eventually allowed me to push him away from me. "I suppose that I probably should get going as well. I have a nine o'clock meeting this morning"
"Oh, sounds charming. Am I allowed to ask you what the meeting is about?" I questioned, trying not to sound like I was being nosey, and more like I was interested in what he did for a living.
"You can ask – but whether or not I will tell you is an entirely different matter" he smirked.
"Don't be coy, it doesn't suit you so well, Christian" I answered, trying to sound serious, but my grin got the better of me, and we both ended up laughing.
"On the contrary, Ana. I think it suits me rather well" he said.
"You still haven't told me what this meeting of yours is about, or is it some kind of top secret thing?" I asked.
"Well, to be honest Ana. It's more of a top secret thing. I could tell you but then I would have to kill you" he smirked.
"Smart ass" I replied, but then I let the subject drop – it was probably something boring that I didn't really know much about anyways, I thought to myself and then gasped whenever I looked at the clock.
It read 8.15.
I had to be at Grey Enterprises Holdings for 9.00 – earlier if I could manage it. I did not want to be late on my first day of the internship.
Plus, I had my eyes on the prize. I wanted that job at the end of the six months.
"What's wrong?" Christian asked, when I practically jumped out of bed and ran in towards the shower.
"I have to be at work for 9.00 – and it's 8.15! I still need to get showered, dressed have breakfast and get there!" I panicked.
Christian just laughed.
"It's not funny!" I snapped.
"It really is. You will be fine! Now go and jump in the shower – and while you do that, I am afraid that I am going to have to run home and get freshened up for my own work. I highly doubt that everyone in the office would appreciate me turning up in this get up" he said, indicating towards his currently naked torso.
"Suits only?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow as I gathered some towels out of the hot press where I stored them.
"Yep, I'm afraid so. No such thing as casual Mondays for me, I'm afraid" he said, and came towards me for another kiss, that literally made me want to grab a tight hold of him and pull him right back into my bed.
And tie him up right where he was so that he would still be there whenever I came back home from Day One of The Job.
Wow. Where the hell did that come from Steele? I thought to myself.
"Can I see you again?" I asked – almost desperately, whenever the kiss broke a few moments later, while I ran my fingers softly through Christian's hair, and he had his hands wrapped tightly around my waist.
"I would love to see you again more than anything, baby" he answered, looking at me straight in the eyes.
"Good" I replied, suddenly at a complete loss for words.
"I should probably be going" he said, a few moments later breaking the silence that had fallen down between the two of us.
"I know" I answered, but neither of us made any efforts to move at all. It felt much too good to be standing right here with him, rather than facing the terrifying world that would surely be Grey Enterprises Holdings.
It was fifteen minutes later before Christian found his missing shirt, and left my apartment, leaving me to get ready for work alone, and I made it there in time.
Only just.
It was 8.55am whenever I was arriving outside of Grey Enterprises Holdings.
"Hello, my name is Anastasia Steele, and I am one of the new interns. I was told to report here for 9.00?" I said, whenever I approached the reception desk.
"Welcome to Grey Enterprises Holdings, Anastasia. I am Olivia Smyth and if you would like to follow me, everyone else is waiting" she said, and I could almost hear the tone of disapproval in her voice. "Also, this is your identification badge. You will need to wear it at all times within this building" she said, as she handed me a badge that I was able to hang out around my neck.
Snooty nosed bitch, I thought to myself but didn't dare utter the words out loud. It wouldn't be a great start if I did.
"Now, firstly you will attend a meeting alongside our other interns, that is to be headed by the head of Human Resources, Pamela Warren, and as well as that Mr. Grey himself is expected to be in attendance. He likes to keep involved with all aspects of his company" Olivia said, as we walked away from the reception desk and towards the lifts, the clicking of Olivia's heels making loud noises on the tiled floors as she walked.
Whenever we entered the elevator, Olivia swiftly pressed the button that would take us up to the ninth floor of the building.
"Whatever you do, Anastasia make sure that you never, ever go up to the tenth floor - Mr. Grey's office is up there and he doesn't take kindly to any random members of staff appearing in his office" Olivia said.
Right okay. I thought to myself. Don't go to level 10. On peril of my own life.
By this point, the elevator had arrived on the ninth floor, and Olivia stepped out, and I eagerly followed her down the corridor until the very end, where she turned left and then entered the first door on the right, to reveal a room full of people.
"Well, look who decided to show up. I assume that you are Miss Anastasia Steele?" the woman – who I assumed was Pamela Warren said.
"Yes, I'm Ana – I mean Anastasia" I stuttered, and then quickly slid into one of the two vacant seats in the room. The other was beside Pamela Warren, and there was no way in hell that I wanted to sit beside her. Plus, Olivia had already told me that Mr Grey was expected to attend the meeting.
I assumed that that seat was for him.
"Now, while we are waiting for Mr Grey to arrive, I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself. I am Pamela Warren, and I am the head of human resources, and for the foreseeable future, I will be your boss as well" she said.
"And here I thought that I was the boss around here" a distinctly familiar voice said from behind me, and I turned around to see that Christian was standing right there.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Grey. It was not intended to sound like it did" Pamela stuttered, and even though I'd only known her a few seconds, it seemed like it was unusual for her to stutter at all.
What. The. Actual. Fuck. I thought to myself as it dawned on me. Christian – my Christian, was Mr Grey.
So ... I know that this one is a little shorter than usual, but I wanted to end it at this point in the story – just because I am pure evil! Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed it, and don't forget to review – I will do my best to respond to them as well.
