"I told you not to look in that one." Jason told Edward.
"What is it Edward?" Emmett asked walking over to them.
"It's the meadow and the date is oh fuck." Emmett said looking at Edward.
"My Birthday" Edward said quietly.
"Are you saying Bella came back to Forks every year on Edward's Birthday and went to the Meadow?" Jazz asked.
"What the fuck is in her hand?" Emmett asked Jason.
"A cupcake with a candle" Jason said softly looking at Edward.
"The unnamed presents at the hospital?" Edward asked Jason just nodded his head.
"Last year the person on the motorbike that was her when I pulled up and got out of the car the motorbike revved at me and the rider nodded and took off that was her wasn't it?" Edward asked Jason.
"Yeah man if you had have been 5 minutes earlier you would have meet her." Jason told Edward.
"Hey what are you doing what's that?" Bella asked looking at the pictures.
BPOV
WTF. Where did these pictures come from?
"Someone better start talking and now." I snapped.
I was flicking through all the pictures of me at the meadow on Edwards's birthday. Everyone just looked at each other. I got up off the couch and went outside. There were so many cars in our drive I walked to the last one and looked in the keys were in it I climbed in and started it, turned it around and headed out down the drive heading towards Fork's.
POV
"Just let her have a moment Edward." Carlisle told Edward after Bella left the room and went outside to get fresh air.
Jason's cell rang and he answered it, whatever it must have been bad he was running a hand through his head.
"Whose vehicle has Brother Bear on its door Edward quick?" Jason asked.
"It's mine" Emmett said to Jason. Jason closed his eyes and kept talking something about don't lose visual on it and then he swore snapping the phone shut.
"It's Bella, she has taken off in Emmett's car they have lost visual they are trying to track her now all they know is that she was heading out of Forks." Jason told everyone.
Edward ran out of the room and into his garage grabbing his jacket and helmet climbing on his bike and starting it and taking off after Bella.
"Damn stupid kid" Carlisle said to everyone.
BPOV
Where am I going to go? I need to get away process everything I had been driving for 10 minutes.
Idiot WTF I slammed on the brakes got out of the car.
"What the fuck Edward I could have killed you!" I screamed.
"What the fuck Bella stop fucking running." Edward screamed at me.
"I'm not fucking running I need to be alone and process what I just seen Edward. Don't you understand there are things I never wanted you to know? It is all there in pictures for you to see how broken I was. I don't want to be that pathetic loser anymore." I screamed.
"You're not a pathetic loser love, why didn't you tell me you came home every year?" Edward asked.
"I'm going home Edward" I snapped getting back in the car turning around and heading back home. I got home went thru the back entrance and up to my bedroom laying on my bed sobbing.
POV
"Where is she?" Edward snapped at everyone.
"She didn't come in here Edward." Emmett said.
Edward ran up to his bedroom and saw Bella laying on the bed sobbing. He walked over and wrapped his arms around Bella cuddling her.
BPOV
My phone rang and I reached out to answer it.
"Hello Isabella Cullen speaking."
"Hello Isabella its Laurent James from La Push Constructions."
I got up and walked down to the dining room and motioned everyone to be quite putting my phone on speaker.
"Yes Mr. James what can I do for you?"
"I'm calling about what has transpired over the last 24hours."
"Yes I'm listening?"
"You have just put my business into receivership."
"I'm sorry but I have done no such thing I think you should be looking at your staff before you start throwing accusations around."
"You say Potatoes I say potato." he said.
"You called me Mr. James remember and you are wasting my time."
"I have a business proposition for you Mrs. Cullen."
"I'm not sure I like La Push Constructions business proposition it has landed a lot of people in jail and I for one I am not that sort of business person. I didn't become successful by under minding my opposition because they are the best at what they do."
"Point well taken Isabella."
"That is Mrs. Cullen to you Mr. James only my friends have that right."
"Fair enough Mrs. Cullen. I want you to buy La Push Constructions off me today."
"Well with its reputation I doubt it would be worth much Mr. James."
"Yes this is true."
"Well what do you propose Mr. James?"
"You call off your people and I will sign it over to you plus 14.5 million dollars."
"What about all the started projects you have and the ones waiting to be done I need to see all the paper work for that I will not let you strong arm me Mr. James."
"Ok Mrs. Cullen I will bring the paper work for all work under contract with us to your office in 30 minutes for your people to go over."
"Good day Mr. James" and I hung up.
"Right I want everyone to the office now, James legally is this offer legit?" I asked.
"Yes it is Bella."
"FUCK I don't have an accountant."
"Leave that with me Bella," Jason said "I will have our accountant go under cover for you."
"Thank You" I said.
"Let's move" I screeched.
"Jason, change into this so you blend in with the boys." I said to him walking out the door.
"Edward quick get into a suit," I yelled running into our closet. 10 minutes later we were in my car driving to the office with Jason in our car.
"Jason bring your agents in I want them here. I don't want to find out I am doing the wrong thing I want a floater in each office." I said.
"OK Bella I will get on it now."
We pulled into the office and everyone was there.
"Right Bella where do you want everyone?"
"All construction in conference room 1, everyone else into their offices, Jason you stick with me" I said.
"James, register the business now as Twilight Construction Company La Push Division."
"Has anyone been there do you know what the offices look like or anything else?" I asked.
"Emmett log into the construction server and get ready to print out all the quotes we did for the jobs he is going to show us."
"James 14 cars here by 4pm and get them to stay late I want the signs and stuff up and running by tomorrow let's show them how a true company runs."
"Emmett I'm going to give Chris the Manager position at La Push."
"He was my choice too." Emmett said.
"Esme, Ali and Rose be ready to work your magic."
"Guys I want all your men on standby tell them we will feed them and OT will be paid and I will give them a bonus. Don't look at me like that call them."
"Charlie locks and alarms."
"Ang ring for uniforms and stationary with logos I want it by close of business."
"Charlotte can you make me a cup of tea please?"
"Ben I need you to call the agency, I need 4 architects, 5 receptionists/ secretary, 1 accountant. Do the interviews here and get them sent ASAP tell them not to send the ones I've already seen."
"Bella Love calm down," Edward pleaded.
"I will when I have everything done."
10 minutes later
"ShowTime"
"Mrs. Cullen" Mr. James said shaking my hand.
"Mr. James, this is my husband Edward and Jason Jenks my PA." I said.
"Gentlemen" he said.
"My office is this way, follow me." I said to him.
"You have the papers I asked for?"
"Yes here they are," he said handing them to me. I walked out giving them to Emmett and the FBI agent to go over and walked back into the office.
"Mr. James my people are just going over them now. Your staff, you have terminated their employment?" I asked.
"Well I want to talk about that." Laurent said.
"Yes go on."
"What staff is left I want you to guarantee their jobs."
"I'm sorry Mr. James but you are not in a position to make such demands."
"I see."
"If you will excuse me," I said walking out.
"What's happening? " I asked.
"Ok we have gone over them and I have analyzed everything, you need to ask for 20 million nothing less."
"James put all them into the contract." I said.
"Already done" he said smiling.
"That's why I love you; you know what I'm thinking before I even ask."
"Emmett, take them in and show the boys." I said.
"Right everyone follow me." I said. Ben, Ang, James, Esme, Charlotte, Seth, Sam and 5 FBI Agents all followed me into my office and stood behind my chair.
"Right Mr. James my offer to take it off you is this, I will not require any staff from the offices and all construction workers can reapply for their jobs in the morning at 8am. I will take your business plus you will pay me 60.5 million based on our calculation of the contracts outstanding that you have been paid for and so forth plus compensation for your Companies indiscretions against mine. That is my offer take it or leave it." I said.
"Deal" he said getting up and shaking my hand and then everyone else's.
"Here is the contract and so forth please sign it, get me a cashier's check and get out of my office." I said to him. His lawyer read the contracts and told him to sign it and he brought me a check, handed it to me and he got up to leave.
"Hm hm Mr. James keys to my cars please." I said holding my hand out for them; he placed them in my hand and humped out my door.
"How am I going to get back home?" he snapped.
"Not my problem Mr. James good evening." I said.
Everyone cracked up laughing "fuck Bella you are brilliant" they said all laughing.
"Bella we have agents there collecting the cars and property off the staff before they leave, they were waiting for him to call." Jason said laughing.
"Ok guys come into my office." I said and then my door swung open and the boys all walked in laughing.
"Tink you are fantastic." Tiny said looking at me.
"Thanks" I said looking at everyone.
"Ok guys, I have an announcement to make." I walked over to Chris.
"Meet the new manager of Twilight Construction Company La Push Division." I put my hand out to shake his but he just grabbed me and cuddled me instead. Everyone congratulated him. I walked up to Edward and wrapped my arms around him and cuddled into him.
"Come on guys lets go and check out our new business." Edward said.
"Jazz" I yelled.
"On it I will meet you there." he yelled back.
"Hey guys call all the boys I want them there as well." I yelled to them.
We drove over, Edward and I leading the way, there were 30 of us all following each other. Edward, Jason, Rob and I were laughing all the way over singing "Convoy." We pulled up and there were guys everywhere out front we went through the gates and we parked. I walked down to the men waiting outside.
"Hey guys, I'm Isabella Cullen owner of Twilight Construction Company I just need you to give me a couple of hours to do some reshuffling and then we will get to you guys. I am sorry for what has happened to you and I will try my hardest to speak to you as soon as we possibly can. If you would like to come in and wait just over there you are more than welcome to." I said walking back towards the office.
"Ben, Ang, Charlotte, Emily, Seth, Sam I want you to go thru all the files and box them up."
"James, find an office and get ready to do some contracts."
"Esme, Ali and Rose go do your thing."
The 3 boys from the mill "Jeff, Rick and Darren go and do a stock take of the timber."
"Construction Managers and Chris I need to talk to you please." I asked. They all walked over to me.
"Who deserves to be promoted? Call their names and think about it before you call them." I asked them.
The boys called their names and they walked over to me, looking at me and Edward.
"Congratulations guy, you have just been promoted to Foreman for Twilight Construction Company La Push Division. Now I just need you to go and find James and he will give you contracts to sign and then come find me once you sign them I have presents." I said laughing.
"Is she for real?" one of them said.
"Tinks don't joke" Tiny said.
"Chris one more to replace you," I said looking at him. He called the guy over and he looked at me.
"Congratulations you have been promoted to Foreman for Twilight Construction Company Forks Division replacing Chris. Now go in and find James and he will give you a contract and then come find me once you sign them I have presents." he shook Edward, Chris and my hand and walked inside.
"Chris if you have anything in your car I need you to remove it and place it into your new one. Yours already has the logo on it and take the computer and phone that is on the passenger seat and put it in your old car. Tell the logo writer the guy's nickname and he will change it on the door and I need your fuel and credit card's, you will get new ones in the morning when they get here." I told him.
We stood there chatting until Chris came back. The guys went over and told the logo writer the other guys nick names so he could put them on the doors.
"Will you need any more Lincolns or SUV's Mrs. Cullen?"
"Yes how many do you have left in the lot from my order."
"There are still 76 Lincolns, 4 SUV's and 18 Site Vans."
"OK deliver half to Forks and the other half here. When can they be here?"
"The trucks are already on the way and we will collect all the old cars and what we give you for them I will let you know itemized."
"Thanks for all your help."
"Any time Mrs. Cullen it is a pleasure doing business with you." he said and walked off getting in his car.
"Fuck Bella how many did you buy?" Emmett said.
"That's my business Emmett do you not trust my business brain?" I asked.
"Yes of course I do." Emmett said.
"Well shut the fuck up." I snapped.
"Your sister just made 40.5 million from Mr. James, stop being an idiot Emmett." Edward said.
"Ha, what do you mean?" Emmett asked.
"They told her to ask for 20 million she got 60.5 million. She isn't dumb when it comes to business stuff." Edward told him.
"So why do the girls all get Volvo's?" Emmett asked.
"Cuz we do." I laughed.
"What else vehicles wise, is coming Bella?" Emmett asked.
"I have a tow truck for Rose's shop it should be there tomorrow, 2 delivery trucks for the hardware and 2 for the mill anything else Emmett?" I asked.
"So you guys will get everything delivered on site from Twilight Timber & Hardware but look I will explain it all to you at our big meeting on Monday at 7am." I laughed at them.
"Think of the convoy now Edward and Jason." I laughed. The other guys all walked out and stood with us.
"All signed boys?" I asked they all said yes and laughed.
"Well you have a bit to do first, pair off with your old boss. Pick 4 guys from the old crew each and once that's done go get them and come back to me with them." I said laughing. Chris and Em flanked each side of me laughing.
"OK guys you will be picked up in the morning for work at 7 by your boss you can all go home now and thanks for coming and helping us out make sure they have your address before you leave and your present will be waiting for you when you get here plus a bonus in your pay this week." I said to them.
"Right, foreman you have to go and hire from that crowd out there to make 10 men per crew, Ox you need to pick one of the men and pick him up in the morning and have him here by 7. You need the ones you employ to fill out these forms before they leave, you are working with them you are hiring them too. Tell them to be waiting outside their house at 8 to start their day and they will be picked up. Anyone not hired today ask them to come and see me here tomorrow at 10 am with a resume. Chris and Em I hope you have a speech ready because I'm leaving this up to you two, don't let me down. Once they have been hired come and find me boys and I will explain everything to you. Come on Edward lets go check out the offices." I laughed grabbing Edward and leaving the boys to scratch their heads.
"Surely they have worked it out?" Jason laughed.
"Probably not" Edward laughed.
We walked in to the offices and there was shit flying everywhere boxes, FBI agents, the place was swarming.
"How's your head love?" Edward said cuddling me.
"It's ok" I said not very convincing.
"Ben did you fix email accounts for the new Foreman's?" I asked.
"Doing it know Tink." he said.
"James contracts for the guys getting the cars set them up." I said.
"On it Tink" he said.
"Ang, I will have the new list of employees in a couple hours we will have to fix payroll up."
"OK Tink" she said laughing.
"Ben, new office staff?" I asked.
"Interviews tomorrow at 2pm Tinks," he said.
"Why the fuck is everyone calling me Tinks?" I asked.
"The construction boys call you Tinkerbella because you sprinkled your fairy dust and made their dreams come true, therefore you get Tinks." Edward said and I burst into tears and cuddled into Edward sobbing.
"Charlotte, can you and Emily order Chinese takeaway and drinks for every one? We need to feed 40 people and get it from Forks please?"
"Sure Tinks" Charlotte said.
"Insurance James?" I asked.
"Already done Tinks," he said.
"Excuse me for a second I need to make a call." I said leaving the room.
"Hello Paula"
"Hey Bella"
"Have you come up with the name yet?"
"Yeah, Tinks by Mary Alice Swan. I want it on black label hot pink writing and 2000 tees with it on the front."
"Oh Bella she is going to love it."
"When can you have it done?"
"You will receive them Friday at 9am."
"Thanks heaps Paula"
"I will register the name for you and send you my bill don't worry Bella."
"Thanks" I said ending the call walking back out to everyone else.
"Hey guys how did it go?" I said laughing at them.
"Well they all love you Tinks, they heard about what you have done since you moved back to Forks with Twilight Construction Company Forks Division and they can't wait to start working for you." Emmett laughed.
"Right how many guys weren't hired?"
"10 but we hired them as gofers." Chris said.
"So 5 for Forks and 5 for La Push?" I asked.
"Yep" they both said.
"You told them they start at 8am and will be picked up?" I asked.
"Yep" they said laughing.
"Ox who did you hire to pick up at 7am?" I asked.
"Paul, Emmett and Edward went to school with him and he is Sam's cousin." Ox said.
"Right the 4 guys that you are all picking up in the morning are getting cars." I said laughing.
"I knew it. Tinks you are amazing." Tiny laughed.
"You need to write there nick names and real names on this paper for Forks and this for La Push." I said to them.
"Next thing La Push rents there equipment and tools they don't own it?" I asked looking at them for confirmation.
"So guess what you 20 men are doing tomorrow?" I asked.
"Are we going shopping?" Buster said excited.
"Yep" I said laughing.
"BUT" I said watching their faces fall.
"You have to get all the equipment from every site and out of your vehicles. I want it listed and put in the paper to Auction along with any other crap you find at both sites. Then sit down list what you need to purchase for one site and then buy 18 of them. I want you all to pick up the trailers from Seattle and deck them out with tools. The Site Transits vehicles should be here tomorrow. Look, don't look at me like an idiot I will go with you tomorrow ok and you will be all kissing my ass by the days end." I said laughing.
"Trust her guys she researched them for 6 months." James said.
"I can't wait for the town to see 90 Twilight cars and 18 Twilight Vans go thru town tomorrow, we so have to convoy." I laughed. Everyone laughed with me.
"New foreman you need to show Ben your phones so he can set up the email on them."
"What do you think of the layout of this office Ben?"
"Actually I was just playing with them I found the plans for it on the computer." he said showing me.
"Guy's how long would it take to gut and redo?" I asked.
"1/2 day easy, it is only framing and drywall." Chris said.
"Right this is a bonding experience for the La Push Crew then. I want it done so Esme can work her magic tomorrow afternoon." I said to them.
"FOODS HERE" Emily yelled.
We all ate in silence everyone was starving, we finished and were all sitting around.
"So Jason, when are you going to tells us everything?" I asked.
"Tinks I will tell you but you can't say anything until I have finished ok?" Jason said.
"OK" I said.
40 minutes later Jason had told us everything that happened over the last 3 years 7 months.
"WHAT you followed me all that time that's creepy dude." I said to him narrowing my eyes.
"Yeah and now I have to stay with you until after the trial." he said.
"Yeah but you can hang out with us now?" I asked.
"If you want me to then I can." Jason said.
"Better than stalking me," I said laughing.
"So have your guys finished getting everything they need from here?" I asked.
"Yep what you see belongs to you, everything has been returned and picked up that was hired or leased." Jason said to me.
"I feel sorry for the poor office girl she is going to have her worked cut out for her." I said.
"Unless Charlotte and Emily do you want to work for your husband's?"
"NO" they both said everyone cracked up laughing even Edward, I narrowed my eyes at him and he kissed me.
"Jason, where are you staying?" I asked.
"In a motel" he said to me.
"Oh no you aren't I have a guest room you can have and you can't say no or I will ring your boss and tell him you asked me for sexual favors." I said.
"BELLA" Edward warned.
"What everyone believes me," I said.
"Dad all the locks changed and Security Alarm installed? I asked.
"Yeah baby girl" he said.
"So boys, who came up with Tinks?" I asked them.
"Tiny" they all yelled.
"I like it Tiny thanks." I said cuddling him.
"Sexual harassment Bella" James said laughing.
"What he is family I can cuddle him isn't that right Tiny?" I asked.
"Sure is Tinks" he said kissing my head.
"OW" I said.
"Oh Christ Tinks are you ok?"
"Gotcha" I said laughing.
"Edward, take me home I am tired and my head is killing me." I said.
"Come on Bond we will stop and get ya shit on the way home." I said.
"Night all thanks for today and I will cya bright an early in the morning." I said walking out.
POV
Hey James is Tinks joking about the trailers and the vans?' Buster asked.
"Nah man she researches everything," James said.
"The cars, for one thing it is all tax write off, her big business Guru Mr. Microsoft himself told her to do it. Happy employees are productive employees, that's why you get a doona day." James laughed.
"A what?" Tiny asked.
"It is basically an I can't be fucked going to work today, I'm going to stay in bed. You get one a year." James told them.
"You are kidding?" Buster said.
"No and it is proven that employees use that and not sick days." James said.
"She researched that as well?" Ox said.
"Yep" James said laughing.
"She might be only 23 but I'm telling you she has business smarts." James said.
"Yeah she is full on, how do you keep up with her?" OX asked.
"As soon as she starts planning, we start organizing. We try to stay a step ahead of her." James said.
"She is unbelievable. I near shit myself when I saw all those cars on the truck pulling in here before, there is a lot of money just there." Tiny said.
"Yeah but Bella buys in bulk and drives a hard bargain." James said.
"Yeah she has the gift of the gab." Ox said.
"You guys should have seen how she handled the owner of this place. He wanted to give her the business plus 14.5 million she got 60.5 million plus the dude' car." James laughed so did everyone else.
"You're kidding" one of the guys said.
"Nope I told you she looks so innocent and what she says you believe her it is like she hypnotizes you." James laughed.
"Yeah I can see that in her, you just can't say no to her." one of the guys said.
"Wait till she calls you to her office and tells you off. You nearly start crying because you let her down and then she will laugh and say sorry you want to go put your big boy pants on." James and Ben laughed.
"Look, Bella is the best boss you could have she would give you anything. She is funny and loves a joke but she can be a hard ass too, she expects a day's work for a day's pay. Edward told her why you all call her Tinks tonight when you were outside and she was so touched she cried for ages." Ben said.
"Like Jason he admitted to being in love with Bella today and you guys have known her for what a week and you all love her. You just can't help it but when people hurt her or she gets hurt everyone falls apart. She is what draws you in and keeps you going, she makes you want to be a better person. She is the glue if that breaks we all fall. Yesterday for instance how many people were at the hospital even a Hollywood movie star flew in to make sure she was ok." Ang said.
The guys all looked at Ang for a few moments and then all agreed with her.
"Look I will tell you all a secret you all know Alice, Edwards's sister, she has wanted to be a fashion designer for years but could never get a break. Bella hired a New York company to make the cloths they will be here on Friday. Bella has been stuck on the name for ages but today when she heard your reasons for calling her Tinks she rang them the name is Tinks by Mary Alice Swan because she said everyone needs fairy dust and if you can all be at the office at 8.30 on Friday you will see how Alice reacts." Ang said to them.
"She found out I wasn't working at the picnic on Saturday and talked to me at dinner that night about what I wanted to do and how Chris and I were living on one income. Monday I had a job." Charlotte said to them all.
"She would give you the shirt from her back if you needed it. I've known Bella for years, we all went to school together she has never changed she is selfless, she puts others before herself." Sam said to them.
"Bella has been married one week today. She hasn't even had a honey moon, she got married a day early to come back to save the Timber & Hardware and she won't do anything until everything is up and running. She is going to drive you all crazy over the next week making sure you have everything or if you need anything so just bear with her." James laughed.
"So have you guys heard about the Company Baseball Game she is madly trying to organize?"
"Yeah we heard a bit about it." OX said.
"I think it will be good thing, we get to socialize with everyone." Tiny said.
"Yeah everyone on the same level no bosses just people having a good time." Chris said.
"Exactly, that's what she wants. She wants employees to be able to go up to any of us, executives or foreman and tell us if something is troubling them at work. Neutral ground," Ben said.
"God that kid is smart." Beefy said.
"Yes and if we all want to be on time in the morning we better all go home and get some shut eye." Ben said.
"Guys thanks for everything today we really appreciate it." James said.
BPOV
"Edward, when are Pete and Marie coming back?" I asked him.
"Friday afternoon love" Edward said brushing his teeth.
"How is your head love?" Edward asked while he got into bed snuggling into me.
"I have a bit of a head ache." I told him.
"What a day love." Edward said chuckling.
"Big day, sleep now baby." I told him.
"I love you" Edward said to me.
"I love you too baby."
We fell asleep straight away, we were both tired.
I woke up to the alarm blaring I rolled over and switched it off climbing out of bed and going to shower.
"OW FUCK ouch Ow fuck" I screeched.
"Bella love what did you do?" Edward asked as he came into the bathroom.
"I stubbed my friggin toe," I said crying "And it fucking hurt."
"Oh love, give me a look at it." Edward asked me.
"No just be a husband and kiss me not a Doctor."
Edward leaned in and kissed me and kissed my neck.
"Better now love."
"Yeah" I said getting in the shower.
We both showered, got ready for work and headed for the kitchen to make some breakfast.
"Bond you can cook?" I laughed.
"Yeah Tinks I can, sit down and I will bring it over, you to Edward." Jason said.
"This looks good" I said looking at Jason.
"Tastes good too" Edward said.
"So Bond do you have a girlfriend?" I asked.
"My kind of work you can't have a serious relationship." Jason told me.
"Well if you need a job I know someone who would give you one in a flash." I said laughing.
"Really, you would give me a job?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, why not?" I asked shrugging my shoulders.
"Might take you up on that Tinks," Jason said laughing.
"What car are we taking today Edward?" Jason asked.
"The SUV" Edward said.
"You like that one don't you Edward?" I asked.
"It's a Volvo Bella." Edward said.
"Hey nothing wrong with my BMW's," I whined.
"Let's get a move on." Edward said.
"Grumpy ass this morning Cullen," I said to him grabbing my bag and Blackberry.
"Sorry love" Edward said kissing me.
We hopped in the car and headed off to La Push. I sent an email to the manager's and foreman's telling them what time I would be there and to wait.
"Look the sign writer got all the signs done and look our name is on them too Edward." I said exited.
The boys just laughed at me. Come on let's go and snoop. I was laughing at an email Tiny sent to me.
"What's so funny?" Edward asked.
"I sent an email wishing everyone a good morning and Tiny sent one back asking if fairy's sleep." I said laughing. Edward and Jason laughed with me.
"OK show time boys," I said walking back to the office. "Fuck James did you piss your bed?" I asked.
"I'm grumpy leave me alone." he said to me.
"Oh Vick piss you off again did she." I said laughing.
"Blue balls Bella" James said.
"Oh for fuck sake James," I whined and the two boys laughed.
"Morning Tink's" Ox said.
"Hey Ox you ready for a big day?" I asked.
"Yeah Tinks "he said.
"PAULY" I said running at him and jumping in his arms.
"Fuck B you never change," he said laughing.
"Hey Paul, how are ya man?" Edward said shaking his hand.
"Pauley this is Jason Jenks my PA." I said laughing.
"Hey man nice to meet you." he said smirking.
"Is that everyone?" I asked.
"Yeah Tinks" one of the guys said.
"I told you yesterday I had a present for you and there it is sitting just over there in the car park. You deserved to get them being loyal and trusted workers please don't fuck it up. Your foreman has a sheet to give you, it has the names of each person in your crew. You're responsible to pick whoever is highlighted on your sheet up for work each day. You are to meet Chris and your foreman to find out where you are going to be working but you must have picked your buddy up and be here by 7 am Monday to Friday. The cars belong to me you use them for work I don't mind you driving them but don't abuse my kindness or they will be gone. There is also a fuel card and we will be watching the mileage on them. If you want to take them further than Seattle you must ask Chris do I make myself clear." I asked.
"Yes" they all said.
"Chris you have anything you want to say?" I asked.
"Not yet I will address them once they are all here." he said to me.
"James?" I asked.
James explained everything about the contracts and asked them to sign them before they collected there sheet and went to collect their buddy.
"Ok guys lets go to Forks, they will be waiting." I yelled.
We all hopped into one car and headed over to Fork's.
"Edward your turn," I said getting out.
"Morning Tinks, Hey Edward" Tiny said.
"Hey Tiny" I said laughing. "Hi Tiny" Edward said.
"Is everyone here?" I asked.
"Yeah Tinks all here," Buster said.
I stood looking at Edward waiting and nothing I whispered "Edward" he just shook his head.
I did the same speech as I did in La Push to the guys at Forks.
"Right Emmett you got anything to say?" I asked.
"I will talk when there all here." he said.
"James"
James explained everything about the contracts and asked them to sign them before they collected there sheet and went to collect their buddy.
"Back in 40 minutes don't start anything before I get here." I yelled getting into my car.
"Fuck there already here, Edward don't let me trip over please." I asked.
"Sure Love, wait and I will open your door." Edward said getting out and coming around to get me I walked up to stand next to Chris and the boys and cleared my throat.
"Good morning every one I'm Bella Cullen and this is my husband Edward Cullen and we are the owners of Twilight Construction Company La Push. First off I want to say thank you for being so patient last night while we tried to figure a few things out it was a quick flick of the pen and this was mine. We all know what has happened between the previous owners but that is the past and I am only driven to go forward. The other people standing with me are your Foreman's, your boss Chris and Jason, James, Ben and Ang they are all Executives. I have contracts for you all to read before you start today and I will let James explain to you what they are about." I said taking a step back.
James explained every page for them so they knew what they were getting into.
"All signed?" I asked they all nodded.
"Ok guys I have uniforms for you to collect and change into. Chris is going to have a talk to you and the foremen are going to cook you bacon, sausages and eggs for breakfast. I will be back in 1 hour to tell you what you are all doing today." I said laughing.
"OH before I go has anyone got any questions they would like to ask?" I asked.
"Ok if you do just ask one of the supervisors don't be sacred to speak up I have an open door policy my numbers are on that piece of paper you have don't be scared. I will see you all later." I said walking to the car. We drove back to Fork's to do the same thing over again.
We did the whole speech again and stayed and mingled for breakfast. A few of them approached me and talked to me about issues that were with their old boss. I went over and stood with the guys.
"So guys you got your lips puckered up and ready yet." I said laughing giving them a cheeky wave.
"Right back to La Push baby," I said laughing.
We got back and Chris had them already working, the stuff was already in the shed and they were already demolishing the inside. Edward and I walked over to the sheds and had a look at what they had done. They placed all office furniture in one, paper work and computers in another, tools is the last and they were just stock taking them.
"So Pauley, How's Claire bear?"
"She's ok," he said.
"I call bullshit. What's up Pauley?"
"Claire was the Receptionist Bella." he said.
"Ring her tell her she has her job back but at Forks. Actually Pauley go and get her. NOW Pauley." I said sternly. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and dialed.
"Hi Ali"
"Hey Tinks"
"Want to get 3 outfits today?"
"Who for and where do you want me?"
"Claire Bear and La Push"
"Be there in 10"
"Bella you are unbelievable." Edward said cuddling me and kissing me on my head.
"I know that is why you married me." I said laughing and kissing him.
15 minutes later
"Here she comes Bella." Edward said nodding in her direction.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't pooh bear." I said to Claire.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't ballerina who can't dance." Claire said to me.
"Hey babe, how are you? It's been so long." I said hugging her.
"OMG Mc Dreamy himself" Claire laughed.
"Shut up Claire Bear and give the doc a hug." Edward said laughing.
"So Claire were you on the take too?" I said seriously.
"Fuck off Bella" Claire said.
"Excuse me boss talking now." I said sternly.
"No and I had no idea either, Caius knew I was friends with you, so nothing was said in front of me." Claire said.
"Well I will offer you a job but it is in Forks not La Push and Brother Bear is your boss." I said.
"Bella, Fork's? How am I going to get there?" she asked.
"Hang on Claire there is more company car, fuel card, expense account, Blackberry and laptop. What do you say come work for me in Forks?" I asked.
"Are you serious?" Claire asked.
"Claire how long have we known each other?" I asked.
"Hell Yes!" Claire yelled.
"You need to read this and sign it and then I will tell you what I give all my Receptionists as a bonus." I said. She stood with Paul reading it and he said.
"Sign the fucking thing before she changes her mind." Pauley told her laughing.
"Yeah Tinks"
"Emmett, can you get one of the gofers to bring over the Volvo please?"
"Fuck that I will bring it over I want to meet my new secretary is she hot?" he asked.
"The car Emmett NOW," and I hung up laughing.
We were standing chatting when I saw the Volvo coming up to us.
"Well smack my ass and call it Claire." Emmett said.
"Emmett Swan your new secretary Claire Wolf." I said laughing they shook hands.
"Now Claire you remember Alice my sister-in-law?"
"Hey Ali" Claire said.
"Hey Claire bear" Ali said.
"Now Claire you are going shopping with Alice and to the Spa I will see you at my office at 2pm." I said waving and laughing.
"Claire you need to drop me back off at the office on the way past." Emmett yelled getting in the car.
"Thanks Bella" Paul said.
"You will be thanking me tonight Paul trust me." I said laughing.
"So Paul, who else was in the office that wasn't arrested?" Edward asked.
"Just Claire" Paul said. Edward and I looked at Jason and he just nodded.
"Right let's get back to work shall we." I said to the boys. We walked over to the office and Chris came out.
"It's ready for Esme." Chris said.
"You're fucking kidding me?" I asked.
"Nope" Chris said popping the P.
"Right everyone who has a car go and get in it and wait you will be dropping your work mates at home and meeting us at Forks Construction. I need 9 volunteers to drive them."
"Right you 9 go get in them and drive to Forks Construction and wait for me there. Everyone else you will be picked up in the morning to be here to start by 7." I said before walking up to Chris.
"Esme is here with her crew." I said to everyone that was left.
"Hey mom, back at 4 have fun." I said walking to the car and heading back to Forks.
"I'm tired already." I said to Edward squeezing his hand.
We pulled up at Forks 15 minutes later and I walked into the office to find everything gone, the yard was spotless and everyone standing around waiting for me to talk. Once the other boys were here and accounted for and everyone else sent home I got Emmett to tell them what they were up to.
"Ok everyone follows me the vans last." I said getting in my car.
I turned to Jason and said "How about you go with Emmett." He smiled at me and walked away and got into Emmett's car.
"Baby what up? I asked Edward looking over at him.
"Nothing Love, I'm glad you asked Jason to go with Emmett I feel like we haven't been by our self for so long." Edward said to me looking over.
"Baby, eyes on the road." I scolded.
"Hey Love look behind us." Edward said chuckling.
"CONVOY" I said laughing with Edward.
"Love this place we are going to pick up the trailers are we going to fit 90 cars?" Edward asked.
"Yeah it is huge wait until you see it." I laughed.
"Ok baby I will be surprised if we all fit in at once."
"Edward, if we fit then you have to take me out for dinner just you and me."
"Ok baby deal and what do I get if you lose?"
"Blow job" I said laughing.
"BELLA" Edward warned.
"What baby I need it. I have been so busy and in hospital I know it isn't the ideal honeymoon. I feel like I've neglected you and the whole Jason thing following me and the FBI it's like, oh fuck, what am I saying I haven't been a good wife." I said.
"Bella you are the best wife don't let it worry you, fuck all the shit you have dealt with and the way you handled it baby I'm so proud of you. Please don't think that I'm not." he said squeezing my hand as he talked.
"Baby I love you more than anything and your support this week, baby I couldn't have done it without you." I said leaning over and kissing him.
We arrived at the trailer company, Edward and I walked inside the office and spoke with them and then they took us out back where all the boys were hitching the trailers up and having a look at them. I shot an email to all construction management telling them I needed to speak with them. It was too hard to find them in a crowd. Edward and I stood over in the corner of the lot waiting for them. They all walked over looking at me.
"Right guys what do you think of the trailers?" I asked them.
"There fucking brilliant, they look fucking good behind the cars to and the way they are designed." Emmett said.
"Well pucker up boys," I said laughing and bending over "I'm glad you like them, what about the site vans?"
"There not vans Tinks they are baby fucking trucks." Ox said.
"Well will they help you all to do your job better?" I asked.
"Fuck yeah" a few of them said.
"Right has everyone got their credit cards?" I asked there were a chorus of yes from the boys.
"OK Managers you buy the van stuff 9 of each, Foreman you buy trailer stuff 5 of each use your cards and give the receipts to your managers for safe keeping and guys please don't worry about the price I just want you to be able to have the tools you need to do your job. Let's go shopping," I said to them as we all got back into our cars and headed to the biggest tool and equipment warehouse I have ever seen.
You should have seen the men's eyes and faces Edward and I couldn't help but laugh at them. They nearly ran to the warehouse and when they walked in the door I think I heard a few of them moan no shit. I had already spoken to the manager and worked out a deal with him because we were buying so much we were getting a huge discount.
"Tinks one of the things we need is $20,000 dollars and we need 4 per van." Chris said with Emmett standing beside him.
"Bella told you already guys, if you need it get it no matter the price." Edward told them hugging me.
A huge smile spread across their face and they fucking skipped off. Edward and I looked at each other laughing. Edward and I were strolling down the aisles laughing at the guys it was like frigging Christmas the things they were saying had Edward and I in fits of laughter. Seriously I didn't realize how much crap they need on site the vans were nearly loaded and the grins on all the workers faces. Hours later we were all finished I sent the workers to the yard to have their names written on their trailer and then told them to have the rest of the day off. The guys in the vans were told to take them back to the yard and park them and get a ride home with their buddies. Edward and I were standing with Emmett, Chris and the Foreman's.
"So guys do you think you got everything?" I asked laughing.
"Don't stress if you get to a site and come across something you need, email what you need and I will have it to you within the hour. On site delivered to you all so if one needs it you will all get it."
"Ah here are the receipts Tinks" Chris said handing them to me. I opened the folder and had a look I had expected it to cost more but I couldn't help but want to fuck with them.
"Oh my god I told you to get what you need but fuck?" I said. I saw the color ran from 20 men's faces and I couldn't help it.
"Gotcha" I said in hysterics. "I actually expected it to cost a hell of a lot more." I said still laughing.
"Tinks that wasn't funny." Chris said laughing.
"So guys is there anything else you need to be able to do your job better?" I asked.
"Nah" they all said.
"OK well you have a 1 week window to email me of the things you need. Now Foreman go and get the logos done, leave the trailers at the yard and meet me at the La Push office at 3pm. Chris and Emmett lets head back to head office." I said to them laughing walking over to the car and getting in.
"Well that was fun." I said to Edward laughing.
"Did you see Tiny? I thought I actually heard him moan." Edward said laughing.
"Yeah I thought he did too, was it when he was looking at those drills?" I said laughing Edward just nodded. We chatted and laughed as we drove to the office. When we got there we walked into James's office and sat down.
"So how did it go Tinks?" James asked.
I started laughing telling him about Tiny and their faces and about me getting them when they gave me the receipts.
"Oh Tinks you're a bitch, I wish I was there I would have loved to have seen it." James said laughing.
"Ok I will be in my office if you need me." I said laughing walking into my office. Edward and I were working away. I was answering phone calls and emails, returning calls. Edward was on the phone with Carlisle, they asked him if he could do a shift tomorrow in the ER he said he would help out for the day. I was pouting at him because he would be leaving and doing a 12 hour shift tomorrow and I had loved having him with me, we worked well together. Then I thought about being able to actually put in a full day at the office I would be able to catch up on everything.
There was a knock on my door and it was Claire Bear. She walked in and stood looking at us.
"Well, well look who has boobs." I said laughing "You look hot Claire."
"Bella omg look at me I love the clothes, the hair, the makeup and I got a Pedi/Mani. Oh I feel like a million bucks."
"You look it to Claire." Edward said giving her a panty dropping smile.
"Thanks you two, you don't know how much I appreciate this." Claire said walking over and hugging us.
"Ok Claire, follow me to your office." I said getting up and walking into the office we had set up for Claire and Emmett for the next 6 weeks.
"Come in this is your desk, IT have fixed it all up, and this is your log in to the server. Any email you answer or quotes you set up I want Emmett CC'd into it. So basically anything you do has to be cc'd to him. Also anytime you send quotes or letters you are to make a copy and put in a file, label it and put into those filing cabinets there. Claire you know what to do I just want a paper trail of everything that is done, especially with what happened and I assure you that we will be monitored by the FBI for years to come even if we weren't in the wrong." I said looking at her.
"OK Bella, I understand and thanks again." she said.
"OK I will leave so you can get started and I will get Em to start sending calls through." I said as I was leaving.
I walked into the conference room and told Emmett Clair was in the office and could he go and talk to her about what he needs done. I got Emily to give Chris and Emmett their messages so they could start returning them I put Chris in Tyler's old office. Emily had cleaned his shit out of it for us. I sent Emily to go and buy lunch because we were all starving. I called Paul, Claire's husband, and asked him to lunch. Charlotte, Seth and Sam were also coming over. I walked back into my office and Edward was on the phone, Jason was at the police station and wouldn't be back until 5. I had asked Vick to be an office floater last night and she agreed to start work on Friday. We had people coming in for interviews today to fill the positions we had open. The construction foremen were coming at 3 to sort out the work for tomorrow and next week. I had spoken to the Emmett and Chris and told them every Friday they were to hold a meeting with the foreman and work out the next weeks work. All the new stationary had been delivered and the business cards. Emily had come back and we were now in the conference room having lunch.
"Bella I heard that the boys gave you a nickname." Paul said to me.
"Yeah they did." I said laughing.
"You know I have to agree with their reasoning." he said looking at me.
"You think so do you?" I said to Paul narrowing my eyes.
"You only have to hear the guys talk about you, even the old La Push men. Bells we were treated like crap and made use of shitty hired or secondhand equipment that gave sub stranded quality to the customers. When Mr. James called us all off site yesterday and told us that we had no jobs and our final pays were in the bank and that he was meeting with you as soon as he pulled away the guys were shattered. Then when you got to the yard you never let them down you came down and talked to them asked them to wait and when the boys came down and talked the way Buster, Ox, Beefy, Tiny, Bluey and the others regarded you they told us about your nick name and what it meant. It was like you had 20 big brothers that were your protectors. We all knew right then that it was a journey we all wanted to be a part of. Our first day Bells we all got uniforms that was more than we got in all the years we worked for those bastards and breakfast Bella companies just don't do that stuff." Paul said to me.
"Paul I'm not driven by money I never have been that's why I don't care about the cost of stuff. I want my workers to actually look forward to coming to work not dreading having to." I said looking at him.
"The cars and trailers, picking the guys up for work, the safety equipment we all got and the Friday night catch up and Friday Breakfast Bella, it's just wow. I don't think you realize what you have done and what security you have given to those men, we never had that with La Push Constructions. Fuck the bosses wouldn't even socialize with us but you did." He said a bit choked up.
"Pauley you don't have to worry anymore, forget about the past your future started this morning at 7." I said to him with a few tears in my eyes.
"Hey Pauley you love Tinks now wait until 3 o'clock for our meeting you are staying for." Chris said to him.
"Why what's going on?" Paul asked Chris.
"Just wait Pauley" I said to him eating my sandwich.
"So do you guys know an out of work construction guy to fill the ranks?" I asked looking at everyone.
"Yeah I do Bells a guy from the Res." Pauley said.
"Well go pick him up and bring him to me." I said to him. He jumped out of his chair and took off.
"He is going to fucking freak when he finds out." Chris said laughing.
Claire just looked at me I shrugged my shoulders. We all finished eating, cleaned up and went back to work. Paul had brought the guy back and I talked to him and explained everything and about the car and asked Edward to take him to La Push to pick up his car and trailer and to get the sign writer to do his thing on the door and trailer. All the guys were there now and they knew what was going on with Paul but he had no clue.
"Hey Tinks" they all said when I entered the room. I just shook my head laughing. Edward walked in and I asked everyone to take a seat.
"So Pauley do you know why we asked you here today?" I asked him.
"I have no clue, I'm not in trouble already are I?" he asked and we all laughed.
"Edward can you please explain to Pauley why he is here" I asked him laughing.
"So Pauley you have been with us for less than 24hours now and my wife has come to the conclusion that you need a promotion to Foreman running your own crew. What do you say man?" Edward asked.
"Your joking me aren't you?" he said looking around at every one.
"Tinks don't joke," Tiny said to him.
"This is for real?" Paul said to me.
"Yeah Pauley it is here is your contract. I need you to sign it, your credit card, laptop, Blackberry and your list of people in your crew. I just need you to tell me which 4 deserve a car?" I said to him.
"Fuck Tinks I don't know what to say?" Pauley said.
"YES" everyone else said to him laughing. He grabbed the contract read it and gave it back to me told me who deserves the cars. I gave the stuff to James to organize everything.
"Right boys you need to work out where everyone is tomorrow. Paul your crew will be going shopping so you won't be working tomorrow until you have the trailer and van filled Chris you will be going with them and putting the van stuff on your card and the trailers will go on yours Paul. Then I need you to work out next week's work, this is what you will all be doing every Friday afternoon working out the next week's work. You will all meet at La Push at 2pm every Friday. Have fun and keep it down because we are interviewing next door."
Ben was interviewing the architects, James was interviewing the accountants and Ang, Claire, Edward and I were interviewing the receptionists. We had made our decisions and had Jason run background checks on them all for us. I had the 3 reception staff go on their trip with Ali. Tomorrow she was taking James, Ben, the accountant, 4 architects, Emmett and Chris they were all pissing and moaning about it but caved and then in the afternoon she was taking Ang and Vick.
Everything was set for tomorrow and Esme had called and said it was finished. We closed the office for the day and all headed over to check it out. Esme had a company come in and buy the office furniture that was in the shed and a salvage company bought all the tools. She hired a company that specializes in arranging files so all the boxes and crap were now in the office storage room labeled clearly. God that woman can get things done. She handed over checks for the stuff she sold today and the sheds were big enough to house all the trailers so they could be locked up overnight. Charlie had the sheds fitted with alarms and security cameras. She had a company come in and mark lines for parking and spaces marked out front for management. We walked into the office and OMG she is awesome it was fucking fantastic we all looked around in awe at what she had done. Everything was stocked, everything in its place, there were pictures on the wall and the offices were fantastic. She had everyone come in from IT to the phone company.
"Oh Mom you really have out done yourself this time it is fantastic. What do you think Chris?" I asked looking over at him.
"I'm speechless," he said.
"That's good enough." Esme laughed.
"OK Chris, this is your baby show me what you can do!" I said to him.
"Thanks Tinks I won't let you down, I already have 4 clients to meet with on Monday." he said looking at me.
"You know what you are doing Chris, you were Emmett's right hand man for years." I said looking at him.
"OK guys lets all head home and spend some time with our families because we have been neglecting them the last few days and I'm sure they are missing you all. Go buy them a bunch of flowers and a bottle of wine on the way home on me use your card and tell them thanks from Edward and me." I said as Edward and I were ushering them all out the door.
We got into the car and Edward and I couldn't wait to get home.
