~~~Twilight Magic~~~
I woke to the alarm Monday morning quickly showering and dressing in a dark grey Merino wool turtleneck sweater dress, black thigh highs and black heels having my hair down and smoky eyes and clear lip-gloss. Walking out of the room grabbing a coffee and my bag, keys and folders as I passed I went out to the garage and decided to take my Black M3 BMW Convertible to work. I hoped in my baby and drove to the Timber & Hardware.
When I arrived I got a couple of whistles off Seth and Sam and a few crude comments from Seth, reminding him he was my baby brother he soon shut up with Sam and I now laughing at him. The offices had been revamped and remodeled. Esme had out done herself yet again in such a small amount of time it is hard to believe what she can accomplish.
I called the office and spoke to Emily asking her to tell them that I was out of the office. I called Dad and asked him how the house looked now it was finished and he was so choked up, he and Sue even went fishing yesterday in his new boat.
I was in the middle of answering my emails when I heard Lauren enter 30 minutes late to work. I could hear Sam reprimanding her for being late and she told him to fuck off, that was the last straw right there.
I flew out of my office "LAUREN MY OFFICE NOW!" I yelled at her.
Sam and Seth cringed at me yelling but quickly recovered.
"Take a seat Lauren please" I asked. I walked out to Seth and Sam's office and asked them to join me in mine. They both followed me in and stood on either side of my chair.
"Lauren it has come to my attention that you are not conducting your self in a professional manner and also the disrespect you showed your boss this morning has gone too far. Do you have anything to say for your behavior?" I asked calmly and professionally.
"No nothing. I don't have to answer to them two Indians." she snapped.
"I asked Lauren and you do need to answer to me your job is depending on what comes out of your mouth in the next five minutes." I said.
"I'm not answering to you." she said.
"OK Lauren you have left me no choice, clean your desk out and please leave the premises quietly or I will have you removed. Sam and Seth escort Lauren to get her things and off the premises please. Good day Lauren." I said going back to my work.
"YOU FUCKING BITCH YOU CAN'T FIRE ME!" she yelled.
"I assure you that I can and have Lauren now please leave." I said picking up the phone.
"Quill, I need you to come and escort Lauren off the premises now please." I said and hung up.
"Lauren you have 5 minutes before you will be physically removed." I said to her.
"Bella" Quill said.
"Quill, please get her out of here and if she isn't gone in 5 minutes arrest her and charge her with trespassing." I said.
"OK Bella. Come on Lauren lets go." Quill said.
Lauren got up and stormed out of the office to collect her things. I let out a big breathe and looked at Seth and Sam. They both had big grins on their face.
"You were fucking brilliant. How did you stay so calm Bella?" Sam said.
"I have to I can't have her suing me." I said laughing.
I picked up my phone to call Ang she was laughing when she answered. I asked her to divert reception to her phone and send Emily over to work here for the day. I called Charlotte and offered her the job and asked her if she could start straight away and sent Seth to go and pick her up. I got James to draw up a contract and bring it over to my office and to arrange all the extras to be delivered by lunch.
KNOCK KNOCK
"Come in" I said.
"Hey Bella I'm here." Emily said.
"We'll look at you, you look hot Emily." I said.
"Thanks Bella, what do you want me to do?"
"Just answer the phones and anything Sam, Seth or I need just the usual. It's the same phone system. Emily could you also clean out the reception desk and put everything in a box that doesn't belong please?" I asked.
"Sure Bella" she said as she left.
I went back to work. I didn't realize how much work I had to do this morning. I called Ali and asked her to take Charlotte and do the same as she did with Emily and she jumped at the chance.
KNOCK KNOCK
"Come in"
"Hi Bella" Charlotte said.
"Hey Charlotte, come in and take a seat."
"So did you ring your husband and tell him your good news." I asked.
"Yeah as soon as I got off the phone from you I called him and he is over the moon Bella thank you so much for this opportunity." Charlotte said.
"You're welcome Charlotte." I said.
"Now I have a contract for you to read that has all the bits and pieces in it, pay, responsibilities, and job description just all the normal stuff. If you could read this over and let me know if you don't understand anything and then I will get you to sign it." I said.
I watched her reading it and she broke out into a smile and looked at me.
"Bella is this contract right?" she asked.
"Yeah Charlotte it is." I said.
"OMG" she said crying.
"Oh Charlotte honey don't cry please." I said.
"I get a car, phone, computer, expense account, fuel card just like Chris." she said.
"Yeah and Charlotte my personal shopper will be here to take you to get your uniforms and stuff." I said. She jumped off the seat and ran over giving me a cuddle crying on my shoulder.
"Oh thank you Bella, you don't know how happy I am." she said.
"Charlotte here use my phone and call Chris and tell him." I said.
"Thanks Bella"
I got up and walked out of my office and stood outside the door. Sam cam up to me and gave me a hug.
"That is exactly how Emily was when she told me." he said chuckling.
"Hey what's going on here?" Edward said.
"Sorry Edward I traded for the day." I said laughing.
"Oh in that case hang on a minute." he walked out.
Sam and I looked at each other and then noticed Edward walking back cuddling Emily. Sam and I looked at each other and cracked up laughing. I pushed Sam away and went to Edward and Emily went to Sam.
"So what was that all about you two?" Edward said chuckling.
"Bella just made another dream come true." Sam said.
"You fired Lauren and hired Charlotte didn't you?" he asked I just nodded my head.
"Man you should have heard Charlotte, to say she was over the moon when she read her contract and Bella telling her everything she got and the Pixie is taking her shopping as well." Sam said.
"I could imagine how Charlotte took it she is so nice did she squeal loud?" Edward said laughing.
"She cried and hugged me saying thank you over and over again." I said.
My office door opened and Charlotte came out with a big grin on her face.
"Oh hello" Charlotte said.
They all said hello and I asked Sam to get Seth and meet us in my office. We went back in and sat waiting.
"What did Chris say Charlotte?" I asked.
"Well after I stopped blubbering he was just as excited as me. He said if I get to wear cloths like you and Emily he will be a happy man." Charlotte said laughing. Edward and I cracked up laughing too.
"Yes Charlotte you will, I'm a Victoria Secret addict." I said laughing.
"Yes she is," Edward said laughing.
"Hey guys" Ali said.
"Hey Ali" we all said.
"So Charlotte, are you ready to shop?" Ali asked.
"Yeah I sure am." Charlotte said.
"I will have her back by 3pm ok." Ali said.
"That's fine" I said handing Ali my card.
"Same deal Bella?" Ali asked.
"Two this time Ali, I really appreciate it." I said laughing at her.
"OK come on Charlotte lets go." she said walking out of the office.
They both left leaving Edward and I in the office.
"So Mrs. Cullen where is my kiss?" Edward asked.
"Right here" I said kissing him.
"Mmmm I missed you baby." I said.
"I missed you too, love."
I filled Edward in about what Lauren said and did and he was beyond pissed at her behavior. I just laughed and told him Quill had to escort her out which made him laugh too.
"We have a meeting in 30 minutes Edward. we are meeting the 3 foreman from the mill. I spoke to Emmett about them and he said that they are idiots who don't know what they're doing and Sam agrees with Emmett. I don't want to offer them a contract or the perks if they aren't right for the job." I said looking at him.
"Well use that business head of yours. What is it telling you?" Edward said.
"They really don't have titles and they get paid the same but they were Demetri's mates it just doesn't sit well with me."
"Well Mrs. Cullen what are you going to do?" he asked.
I picked up my phone and called Sam to come to my office. I explained what I was doing and asked him to get the three men he wanted and who deserved the job to come to the meeting. Sam, Edward and I left to go over to the head office for the meeting. I set the conference room up and waited for them to arrive. Edward, Sam and I were going to conduct the interviews.
They arrived and we asked them to take a seat. I explained to them why they were there and that we would be interviewing them individually and would have a decision either way by 4 o'clock today. We interviewed all the men and the 3 Sam had picked were so much nicer to even talk to and they knew their stuff. I got James to draw up the contracts and I had everything delivered by 3pm to the Timber & Hardware. Edward called the 6 of them and told them the out come of their interviews.
We went back over to the Timber & Hardware so I could work. When I walked in I asked Emily to go and get us all lunch. Edward and I were setting everything up in my office when Emily let me know she had lunch in the conference room. We went in there and started eating.
"I am so tired today." I said.
"Actually I am too Bella. I think it is just the day." Emily said.
"Man you should have seen Bella handle Lauren this morning she was only here 5 minutes and Bella had already fired her." Seth said.
"Yeah Bella told me about it." Edward said.
"So what do you think of Charlotte boys?" I asked.
"Anyone can be better then Lauren" Seth said and Sam just nodded laughing. There was a knock on the door and Charlotte walked in.
"Wow Charlotte look at you." I said.
"Bella I had so much fun and learnt heaps from Ali." she said.
We all just laughed. I told Charlotte to sit and have some lunch with us. I explained to Emily to show Charlotte how to use the phone and show her where everything was. I told Sam and Seth to make sure they kept checking on Charlotte and to help her out because they knew how everything was done.
Chris, Charlotte's husband turned up and ate lunch with us too. Chris told me he loved my convertible I grabbed the keys and threw them at him and told him to take it for a spin his eyes light up like Christmas and he took off in it. We just all laughed, even Charlotte, at her husband's face.
I was complaining to the boys about having to work over at the construction office with Jessica tomorrow and they were placing bets about whether I would fire her or not. Everyone had gone back to their offices and Edward and I were snuggling on the couch in my office. My office phone rang. I got up and answered it and took a seat at my desk.
"Hello"
"Pete is on line 2 for you Bella."
"Thanks Charlotte" and I transferred the call.
"Hello Isabella Cullen speaking."
"Why hello there sexy lady."
"Oh hey honey, how are you it's been 24hours and I miss you already." I said laughing.
"The man is there isn't he?"
"Yeah" I said sighing.
"You are going to drive him mad."
"OH GOD, say it again."
"Can I talk to him Bella please?" Pete laughed.
"Love you"
"Love you to B"
"The phone is for you Edward." I said looking at him innocently.
"Hello"
"I should have fucking known it was you."
"Yeah on Wednesday that should be fine."
"OK talk to you then, say hi to Breezy."
"Bye Pete"
"Very funny Bella" Edward said.
"I thought it was." I said laughing.
"Wednesday night we are going to Seattle for dinner for Bree's birthday. Is that ok love?" he asked.
"Sure babe that's fine I might take Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off and spend it in Seattle." I said.
"That sounds wonderful" Edward said.
"You'll book a hotel room from Tuesday night thru to Sunday?" I said.
"On it I will do it right now, move your cute butt." he said kissing me.
Edward got on the computer and made reservations. I was sitting on Edward's lap working while he was on the phone with Ben and James discussing the medical center. Sam popped his head in to tell us that the guys were here. Edward wrapped up his call and we walked into the conference room to talk to the guys. Edward was the one to talk to them this time and we both congratulated them. They left and so did Edward and I for the day.
We headed home and started to cook dinner for the others. Vick came in complaining about being bored. I really needed to find her a job. The house cleaner had been in today so the house was spotless I had even organized her to do the weekly grocery shopping for me. So the Timber and Hardware was all fixed, the renovations were all finished, the offices were done and it was running like clockwork.
I just had the construction tomorrow and we were set. Emmett was even going to come and keep an eye on me. Yeah right. Everyone slowly started arriving home. I asked Tyler to come with me to help box up all the paper work. Jessica and Emmett would be at the head office for the next few weeks while the construction office was rebuilt. Emmett was all excited, Esme had fixed his office and Jessica would have one too. I had already told him that she would have to work for everyone while she was there because Emily would cover their reception side of it.
We all sat and ate our dinner, one big family laughing and joking really enjoying each other's company. Tyler told me he had brought a house and could move in it straight away and was wondering if Esme could decorate it for him. I told him that was fine with me but he would have to talk to her about it. The boys did the dishes and we all went into the media room and put a DVD on to watch and chill out. We had all changed in to our pajamas and were snuggling.
I must have fallen asleep at some point because I woke up in my bed in Edwards arms. I turned over and started to kiss his neck and the side of his mouth. When he started to stir I kicked it up a notch and started to kiss down his torso. When I reached his huge erection I slipped down his pajama pants and twirled my tongue on his tip and deep throated his cock sucking up and down his shaft. I grabbed his balls and started to massage them; I felt Edward's hand go into my hair and heard him moan. He started to thrust into my mouth.
"Oh fuck Bella that's so good love, don't stop." he moaned.
I licked his tip again and was really getting turned on his growls and moans that were coming out quicker and his breathing had picked up to almost a pant.
"Oh fuck Bella I'm going to cum baby."
"Ah oh fuck" he screamed and I felt him twitching and exploding in my mouth. I lapped it all up and licked his sensitive tip as I worked my way up his body.
"Hey baby" I said before I kissed his lips.
"Fuck love, you can wake me up like that anytime." he said against my lips.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it. I did too." I said giggling.
"I did more than enjoy it baby." he said.
"Mmmm I could tell" I said.
"What time is it love?"
"Umm it is 5:30." I said quietly.
"Well now it is your turn and we have plenty of time," he said pulling my wife beater off and latching onto my nipple. Edward spent heaps of time on both breasts licking and grouping and slowly moved down my body placing open mouth kisses on me. I felt his finger go inside me and start to pump and then he added another.
"Fuck Bella so wet already love," he was still moving down placing kisses on my body then inside my thigh and closer to my core. When he flicked his tongue over my clit I nearly shot out of the bed. I could feel him chuckling; I just ignored him because I could feel his hot breath and then his tongue swirling over my clit.
"Oh fuck that oh fuck Edward," was all I could get out. He was plunging his fingers in and then curled them a bit.
"Oh my fucking god I'm gonna cum," and then my legs started shaking and I exploded in his mouth
"Fuck" I screamed. Edward was making his way up kissing me on his way up and then he kissed me on the lips I could taste myself on him and then I felt his hard cock plunged into me, oh fuck we both groaned together.
Edward took his time making love to me, kissing me and we were whispering against each other's lips declaring our love for each other. We were moaning and groaning.
"Fuck I'm gonna cum love, cum with me," it was like a switch was turned and we both came together riding out our orgasm together.
Edward crashed to my chest spent kissing in between my breasts.
I looked at the clock and the alarm was just about to go off. So I reached over and turned it off.
"Come on babe lets go have a shower and get ready for work." I said to him.
"You go first I will be there in a minute, I can't feel my fucking legs" he chuckled.
"Ok" I jumped out of bed smacking his ass.
"Ow love that hurt."
"It was meant to babe."
I went to the toilet, brushed my teeth and started the shower. Edward came in just as I hopped in; he brushed his teeth, shaved and hopped in with me. I had washed my body and hair; I was rinsing my hair when I felt Edwards's arms on me pushing me back against the wall of the shower
"Fuck you are beautiful Bella," and that was the start of round two hot hard sex.
After I picked myself up off the shower floor and rewashed my body I got out, dried myself and went to the closet to get ready. I wore a Roxy sweats and hoodie, with a v-neck tee and runners. I put my hair up into a ponytail. Edward walked in with a towel wrapped low on his hips and I could see his abs and the v... oh my god round three anyone.
"Comfort today is it."
"Yep I'm not wrecking an outfit packing the office up."
"Ok love, I will be down stairs in a minute."
I kissed him and deepened the kiss undoing his towel and dropping it on the ground. I put my hands around his neck and he snaked his arms around me and lifted me up as I wrapped my legs around him and he pushed me against the wall.
"Fuck love, we have to stop." he said breaking the kiss panting. I hoped down and stalked off.
"BELLA" Edward called after me.
I ran down stairs to the kitchen and poured myself a cup of coffee in my travel mug grabbed my keys bag and ran into the garage before Edward caught me and took off in my SUV.
I pulled up at the construction company office, got out of the car and went inside. Emmett was there already trying to tidy up. Tyler turned up 5 minutes later followed by Edward. He came over to me to kiss me but I bent down to pick up some files and placed them in a stack on the bench. I told Tyler, Em and Edward we wanted them packed and labeled.
"Where is Jess?" I asked Emmett. He just shrugged his shoulders.
"Not good enough Emmett, I won't take this shit." I said.
"OK I will speak to her." Emmett said.
"You better because I don't pay people to be late and shirk their responsibilities." I snapped.
"OK Bella" he said.
"What did you do to her?" he asked Edward.
"Switch the fucking phone over Emmett." I said.
"Fuck Bella what's wrong with you?" Emmett said.
"I'm sick of paying people who don't fucking do their job properly. I'm the fucking CEO and I am doing the receptionists job." I snapped.
The phone started to ring straight away and I answered it.
RING RING
"Good Morning Twilight Construction how can I help you?"
"Yes could I speak with Emmett Swan?"
"May I ask who is calling please so I can direct your call?"
"It's Chris one of the contractors."
"Ok Chris, just hold the line and I will transfer you."
"Emmett Chris is on line 1 for you." I snapped at him.

"No worries Mac have a great day."

"I'll do that thanks Bella."

"Buster from construction"
"Sorry Buster Emmett is on another call I will get him to call once he is free."
"Thanks"
"No worries Buster have a good day."
"You too"
I went and knocked softly on Emmett's door and placed his messages on his desk. He gave me a thumb up and continued with his call.
RING RING
"Good Morning Twilight Construction how can I help you?"
"Hey Bella it's Chris again, look I need a new nail gun this one just died and I can't wait on Emmett to return my call."
"Chris just go get it and anything else you need don't worry about the price."
"Are you sure Bella?"
"Positive just use your card and bring the receipt to my office, I will deal with it."
"Thanks Bella"
"No worries Chris anytime."
"Cya Bella"
"Bye Chris"
The phone kept ringing and still no sign of Jess. I turned on her computer and logged in to look at what jobs the guys had left her. I was fucking floored at the amount of work that was there, some of it was 3 weeks old. I started working when Emmett came up behind me and looked at what I was doing he was fucking fuming. I was setting up quotes, answering emails from clients and forwarding them on to the correct people. It took me hours to do it. I was nearly finished when Jess came thru the door with a new hairdo and nails perfectly manicured.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Good Morning Jess. Mr. Swan would like a word with you in his office. Follow me please. Tyler, cover the reception area please. Edward I need you to come with me" I said.
I knocked on the door and Emmett asked us to enter. We walked in and I sat down next to Edward on the couch.
"Where have you been Jess?" Emmett asked.
"I um I was um" Jess said before Emmett cut her off.
"You know what Jess I defended you to Bella and said you were a good worker maybe your car broke down but then my boss had to work reception this morning for 4 hours while you got your hair and nails done. Then we turn your computer on and you haven't done any of the quotes I asked you to do weeks ago, you haven't forwarded or read any of the emails or answered them back. I'm sorry Jess clean out your desk your employment is terminated." Emmett said.
"Asshole" Jess spat at him.
"You fucking walk back into town like you own the place, you are still a fuckup" she spat at me.
"Jess enough do not talk to my wife like that." Edward said.
"Fuck off Cullen" Jess said to Edward.
Emmett picked up the phone.
"Hello Embry could you please come an escort Jessica Stanley off the premises please?"
"Thanks"
"Jessica, please follow me?" Embry said.
"FUCK OFF" she spat at him.
"I will take you in, your choice Jess." Embry said.
Jess turned grabbed her stuff and walked out, telling us all to get fucked. Embry came back in rubbing his shin.
"Bitch kicked me" Embry said. We all burst out laughing.
"Are you ok sis?" Emmett asked.
"Yeah" I said shrugging my shoulders.
I stood up and walked out of the office back to the reception area. I took over from Tyler and started finishing answering the emails and doing the quotes. Edward called Vick to come and give us a hand. I was working away when I went into the sent items in the mail box.
"FUCK" I yelled.
Em came and looked at what I was swearing at Jess had been emailing our competition the quotes and receiving money from them.
"You have to be fucking kidding me." I screeched.
"Oh Bella I am so sorry" Emmett said.
I couldn't handle it I walked out and hopped in my car and took off. FUCK MY LIFE. What did I do to deserve disloyal staff? I called our IT guy and told him what had happened and I wanted it all put on a disc. I went to the police station and spoke to dad's 2nd in command. He sent guys up to retrieve the computer as evidence. I gave a statement and had Jess charged with a number of things. I got back in my car and drove to La Push Beach, got out of my car took my shoes and socks off and rolled my pants up. I walked along the beach trying to clear my head.
I sent an email to all levels of management for an emergency meeting in 30 minutes at the Twilight Head Office. Edward had text to say they had been kicked out of the office because it was now counted as a crime scene and the FBI were on their way. I made my way back to the office, walked into my office and burst into tears. I meat with The FBI agents and answered all their questions with James and Edward present. They interviewed Emmett, Derek, Michael and Peter all with James, Edward and me present for every interview. After the interviews we went into the conference room. I walked in and asked everyone to take a seat.
"Ok guy's thanks for coming and waiting. I would just like to say that what is said in this room is to stay here and not to be discussed even with your family. In your contracts was the Do Not Disclose clause if this is breached it is an instant dismissal." I said and burst into tears the boys all looked at me wondering why I was upset.
"Today as you know I worked at the construction company and our receptionist didn't show up so I had to man the phones and do her job until she became available. In doing that we found quotes for jobs that were not done and emails not answered and a few other things that's really beside the point. When Jess turned up 4 hours late she was asked in Emmett's office and asked to explain her absence and she couldn't come up with an excuse apart from her new hairdo and manicured nails. Emmett had no other option but to terminate her employment. Jess had to be escorted off the premises.
I went back and finished the work that Jess had neglected to do. I went into the sent items and found all of our quotes that she had sent to our competition and the money she was receiving for us losing out on the job and for the plans that Pete and Derek had done for those jobs. Jess has just cost us over 9 million dollars in work from the few quotes I had opened and looked at before the FBI declared it a crime scene and escorted us off the premises." I said letting out a big breathe.
They sat there stunned looking at me open mouthed. 10 minutes went by before someone talked.
"How much was she receiving from them?" Tiny asked.
"$2,000 a quote" I said looking at them.
"Fuck" Chris said.
"I said that and a few more words," I said laughing and hugging Edward crying into his chest.
"Also Lauren's employment was terminated yesterday. Edward, James and I were informed she was in on the Demetri scandal and was taking money from the company. She will be arrested and charged today." I said.
"OMG how could they do that?" Buster said.
"You guys have all got company cars if someone asks you anything you need to tell them no comment, the press are going to be all over this. Please remember you cannot discuss this with any one not your wife's, girlfriend's, significant other no one. Do I make myself clear?" James said.
"Yes" they all said.
"OK is there anything else you want to ask?" Edward asked.
KNOCK KNOCK
Three FBI agents walked in. They ask me to come outside and speak to them.
"What ever you have to say can be said in front of them, they are family and we don't hide anything." I said.
"We have Lauren and Jessica in custody. Preliminary examination on the computer traces Jessica's activities with La Push Construction for 3 years 7 months costing your company 11.8 Billion dollars in profit." the FBI Agent said. That was the last thing I heard before everything went black.
