I woke up got ready and woke Edward pulling the sheets off smacking his ass because he wouldn't get up. I was bashing on the doors of the guest rooms to get everyone up. I thought Bond was gonna kill me the look on his face when he opened the door and he told me to fuck off, I shit myself. After 10 minutes of bashing on the doors they slowly came out grumbling. I couldn't help but give them all shit.
"Gee grumpy asses today," I said to them they all turned and flipped me off.
"Bella for fuck sake if you don't stay still I'm going to fucking pin you down and sedate you." Pete said.
"Oh come on guys let's go, move it." I said laughing at them muttering under their breath telling me to fuck off and my days were numbered.
We walked out to the garage and I waited for Edward to start the bike and then climbed on we slowly took off down the drive and out the gate and then we took off to La Push. 15 minutes later we were pulling into the parking lot walking over to get breakfast. We all ordered and went and sat on one of the tables.
"How the fuck can you be so happy and full of energy?" Pete said grumbling at me.
"Because it is Saturday and I get to spend it with my best friends riding the Ducati" I told them smiling.
"Oh fuck, why do you have to say shit like that now I feel bad." Pete said.
Mmmm I will fix you all for being pricks I clasped my hands on my lap and dropped my head. I waited 60 seconds got up and walked over to the edge of the cliff and looked out at the water. I heard the gravel so I knew someone was coming over to me. I felt arms wrap around me and then I seen people standing beside me.
"Were sorry Bella," Pete said to me.
I just nodded my head and stared off in to the horizon watching the waves.
"Come on Bella we said we were sorry for upsetting you." Riley said.
I just stood there and I could feel the vibration of Edwards chest from him chuckling he had his arms wrapped around me standing behind me with his face buried in my hair. He knew I was making them feel bad. I moved my arms to elbow Edward in the ribs warning him to shut up he got the message and stopped chuckling.
"Bella I'm sorry for telling you to fuck of this morning." Bond said to me.
I heard the girls gasp at him. I looked over at the kiosk and seen our breakfast was ready so I started to walk over there the girls wrapped their arms around me and hugged me telling me they were sorry. I just walked over and grabbed my coffee and food and went and sat back down.
"Hey Tinks" I heard and turned around to see Pauley walking over I jumped up and ran to him and jumped in his arms.
"Fuck Tinks" Pauley said laughing.
"What's up with them?" I quickly filled him in and he was laughing at me.
"You are evil Tinks but fuck that's funny." Pauley said laughing.
"They look like you just told them you killed there puppy." Pauley laughed.
"Pauley is your vehicle here?" I asked laughing.
"Yeah what you got in mind?" he said laughing.
"Want to take me to my house?" I asked evilly.
"Yeah come on Tinks lets go." Pauley said.
Pauley and I walked over and jumped into his car and took off. I ran inside grabbed a bag threw some clothes and got Pauley to drop me off at the office. I went into the office and turned the computer on and started working. I heard someone come in the reception area so I turned me screen off and snuck into the wash room to hide.
"You know if she doesn't want to be found we won't find her." Pete said.
"Well if Bond didn't tell her to fuck off." Riley said.
"Shut up man," Bond told Riley.
"Let's go back to La Push and see if she is there." Edward said to them.
I emailed Tiny and asked if he could pick me up from the office if he wasn't busy. He said he would pick me up in 5. I went and locked the office up and hid in the alley. When he pulled up I jumped in and told him what was going on he roared laughing and took me to his house. We filled his wife in and she was cracking up laughing. I emailed the guys telling them what I was doing and asked them if they seen the guys on their bikes to take a picture on their phone and send it to me. I got a picture 10 minutes later from Buster I set Tiny's laptop up and sent it to Edward.

"I'm sorry for imposing on you didn't have plans for today I can go and end this now if you like." I asked Mary and Tiny.
"No Bella honey even if I did I would cancel them." Mary said laughing.
We heard a knock on the door and Mary took me into her bedroom. Tiny went and answered the door.
"Oh hey Edward what can I do for you is everything ok. Is Tinks alright?" Tiny asked I was on the floor with my hand over my mouth laughing
"Ah no everything is ok. You haven't seen Bella today have you?" Edward asked.
"No man Mary and I haven't been anywhere why what's up? Has she left you?" Tiny asked. I could hear Pete, Riley and Jason laughing.
"Well sort of" Edward said.
"You didn't hurt her Edward because if you hurt Tinks I will bash the crap out of you. Boss or not" Tiny said.
"NO Tiny I never hurt her. Bella was a bit upset with us this morning, we got out of bed a bit cranky and weren't very nice to her. We rode to La Push and got some breakfast she went over to talk to Pauley and that was the last we have seen of her. Pauley said he left her in the parking lot and went home. She has been emailing me she has now turned it into a game of Where is Tink's." Edward told him.
Tiny roared laughing "Oh man I love your wife. You know you are screwed." Tiny told Edward.
Mary and I had a pillow over our face so they couldn't hear us laugh.
"Would you like me to come and look for her with you?" Tiny asked.
"No that's fine Tiny if you see her can you keep her with you and let me know and there is $1000 to whoever hands her over." Edward said to Tiny.
"OK Edward I will let you know if I see her and I hope you find Tinks." Tiny told Edward.
"Thanks Tiny" Edward said walking away.
"CYA Edward" Tiny said.
I walked out and high fived Tiny. and we all burst out laughing.
My Blackberry chimed for another email. I showed Tiny and we were in fits again.

"So Tiny you still coming to sing tonight at the bar with me?" I asked him laughing.
"Yeah Tinks I wouldn't miss it for the world, that and Edwards face when you walk into the bar with me." he said laughing.
Mary and Tiny were sitting on the couch together I started laughing. I got up grabbed Tiny's camera took a picture of the 3 of us called the uniform company and ordered 3 tees with the picture on the front and Where is Tink's on the back and 150 with Where is Tink's? on the back and front. I asked them to deliver them to Tiny's house by 5pm. Penny was in fits when I told her what I was up to. 5 o'clock came around and the tees turned up. We pulled them out and Penny had put glasses on us and a red and white striped jumper, scarf and hat. They looked awesome and we were in fits.
"Alright Tinks are you ready?" Tiny asked me laughing.
"Yeah let's go" I said to him laughing. We got there and started handing the shirts out to everyone the workers were all in fits of laughter. One of the guys came running in to say Edward was coming and we all turned our backs so the Where is Tink's was showing when he walked in. Everyone had pushed Tiny, Mary and me to the front of the bar and we sat down.
"What the hell?" we heard Edward say and I was in fits again. I heard Emmett's big boom of a laugh.
We had given all the tees out so there were 150 people in the bar wearing them. The entire foremen group were giving Edward shit and laughing at him. Slowly he made it to the bar and the crowd started to make a path. Tiny, Mary and I were in fits of laughter. We crossed our arms so you couldn't see the picture on the front and as the last people moved to the side I could see Edward. He looked at me and narrowed his eyes at me. The whole bar went quite.
"Bella where have you been?" he screeched.
"With people who actually wanted to spend time with me." I said and we stood up and Edward saw the picture and we cracked up laughing and so did everyone else in the bar. When Edward started to talk everyone went quite again.
"You were with Tiny the whole time?" he asked.
"NO" I said looking at him looking at my nails.
"Where were you?" he asked crossing his arms over his chest.
"I was at the office when you and the 3 bash brothers over there came. I was hiding in my bathroom." I said.
"Bella how did you get to the office from La Push?" he asked me.
"A friend who wanted to spend time with me." I said narrowing my eyes more.
"How's did you get from the office to Tiny's?" he asked.
"A friend came and picked me up," I said narrowing my eyes at him again.
"And this friend wanted to spend time with you?"
"Yes" I said looking at my nails.
"Were you at Tiny's all day?" he asked narrowing his eyes.
"Yes, Mary made me lunch and we were in the bedroom laughing our asses off at you when Tiny answered the door to you and made you crap you pants." I said laughing.
"And do I get a tee Bella?" he asked.
"NO only my friends do. The ones who want to spend time with me and are nice." I said laughing and so did everyone else.
"You know you are being silly." he said.
"No I just don't like to spend my time with grumpy asses like you, excuse me but me and my friends are going to have some dinner." I said.
"Now we will see who gets Orthritis Edward." Tiny said walking past him clapping him on the shoulder.
We walked over to the dining room and the whole place erupted in laughter. Tiny, Mary and I sat at the table and started to eat our meal. We were laughing our asses off at Edward. I gave Tiny the money and he refused so I slipped it into Mary's handbag.
POV
"You are screwed Tink's even got tee shirts made, she is fucking brilliant." Buster said clapping Edward on the shoulder.
"I can't believe the shirts Edward how fucking funny." Chris said laughing.
"You are a silly man Edward how you could be nasty to Tink's?" Bluey said.
"Man is she going to be mad at us all night?" Jason said.
"Probably" Edward told them ordering his drink.
"My boss is a fucking legend." a guy yelled.
"You got your ass served to you." Pauley said laughing.
"Oh Edward I can't believe this, she is fucking good." Sammy said.
"Man how are the balls you grew any yet?" Jazz said laughing. Edward just shook his head and walked over to the booth chuckling.
"Edward I have to tell you Tinks Rocks. She has really livened up this town. We can't wait for her next move."
BPOV
"OMG everyone is giving him hell." I said laughing. Mary was laughing so much she snorted which sent Tiny and me into another round of laughter.
We finished eating dinner and walked over to the bar and got some drinks. I got them to make a drink and sent it over to Edward.
POV
"Um you wife sent this over." the waitress said. Bella raised her glass at Edward.
"What is it?" Edward asked.
"Pussy Whipped" the waitress told him walking away laughing.
Pete spat his drink everywhere and everyone at the booth cracked up laughing at Edward. Tiny high fived Bella and she flipped Edward off. Bella was talking to a lot of the workers and they were all laughing saying how funny it was. Edward got up from the booth walked over to Bella spun her around and picked her up and threw her over his shoulder and headed out the bar. Everyone was whistling and yelling out to them and laughing.
BPOV
"Let me down Edward." I screamed.
He finally put me down and pushed me into the wall of the pub I knocked my head on the wall.
"OW FUCK EDWARD THAT HURT YOU IDIOT!" I screamed out in pain.
"I'm sorry Bella I didn't mean to hurt you." Edward said to me full of concern grabbing me and crushing me into his chest.
"Bella Love, look at me please." he said to me. I shook my head. He just stayed there cuddling me until I stopped crying.
"Bella love, please look at me." Edward asked again. I shook my head again.
"Tinks are you ok?" Tiny said.
"Yeah I hit my head on the wall and it hurt like hell." I said to Tiny.
"Ok Tinks we will be inside." Tiny said.
"Bella please love look at me." Edward asked again. I shook my head again.
"Bella what have I done that you won't look at me?" He asked choked up.
"I'll tell you, I planned the whole day today you, me and our friends. I wanted to have breakfast, walk along the beach, you piggy backing me laughing and joking, then drive to Port Angeles and order the enlargements of our wedding photos, go to Olympia and ride back. Did I get that no, I got treated like shit and yelled at. I worked my ass off this week and spent a night in the hospital but still can be civil. Fuck you Edward" and I stormed off inside.
"You ok Tinks?" Sam asked.
"Yeah just hurt my head," I said laughing.
I walked up selected a song and sang it. The bar cheered and I told them that the Foremen and Managers were all going to sing tonight and to cheer them on and have a great night. I walked back over to the booth and sat with everyone.
"Has anyone something for a headache in their bag," I asked a few of them all pulled out tablets and gave them to me. I walked up to the bar and got water and took the tablets. Edward walked over to me and cuddled into me.
"Bella love, are you ok?" He asked I just nodded and ordered a round of shots for my table and drinks for the girls. I told them to keep them coming and the Managers and Foremen's drinks were to be put on my tab. I walked back over and sat down talking and laughing with everyone. I had a few shots and drinks and my headache slowly started to disappear. Tiny got up to sing and I got everyone to chant his name he was horrible but we all laughed and had a good time. James grabbed me and pulled me back on stage and made me sing again. I got lots of high fives and a few cuddles off the men. Edward got up and sang as well and we all cheered him on. Sammy and Rose sang and then they flicked the music over so we could dance.
I danced with a few of the guys, Em and Jazz. It was getting close to close and I told everyone at the booth in our group, drinks at my house. I jumped on Edwards back and he took me to the car. I jumped in and we drove home. We went down to the studio and the boys played and everyone sang and was having a good time. I hated fighting with Edward I wasn't really mad until he made me hurt my head. Edward yelled out and asked me to sing I went and sat down and started singing the songs they played. Kristen and Jason were making out so I knew that was a good sign. I finished singing and every one slowly started to leave. It was a good night and I had fun except for Edward's and my fight. Everyone had left and I cleaned up and headed to bed, I had a shower and climbed in and went to sleep.
I woke before any one and got dressed and walked down grabbed my phone hand bag and left a note saying I would be back later. I went and picked Sammy up and we went to La Push for breakfast and then headed to Seattle for a day of shopping. I got all the photos done and had them framed. We looked around and I bought some stuff and Sammy and I chatted about her wedding. I bought a few more work out fits and some shoes and a few things for Edward. I dropped Sammy off at her house and headed home. I unloaded the car and put the pictures on the dining room table. I grabbed my lap top and sat on my bed doing some work. I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up the room was dark. I had a shower and put some pajamas on and climbed into bed and went to sleep.
The next morning I got up, got ready for work and headed to my office. I put the out fits I bought to leave at work away and then switched my computer on and started my day. I had so many calls to return and meetings it wasn't funny. I was reading reports that the accountant had prepared when everyone came and said good night I asked them to lock up on their way out I still had a bit to get through. I kicked my heels off and was reading the reports for the Medical Center. I had figures for the staff and who was needed to be hired for specific areas. I was so tired I closed my eyes for just a minute and I put my head back.
I woke the next morning in my bed. I got up got dressed and headed for the office. The day went by in a blur of calls meetings and reading reports everyone was saying good night and heading out. I was working away and signing the contracts from the timber yard. I was reading the contract that James had done for Sammy I highlighted a few things which needed to be changed and went and put them on James desk. I was reading the report the accountant had done for the Construction Company and leaned back in my seat and closed my eyes.
I woke the next morning and it felt like ground hog day. I went to work and worked all day again falling asleep at my desk.
POV
"Where was she?" Bree asked Edward.
"Asleep at her desk and a pile of reports everywhere again." Edward said to everyone.
"I saw one of the guys from construction, apparently none of them have seen her this week either." Pete told Edward.
"Have you spoken to her at all Edward since Saturday?" Jason asked.
"No every time I call she is in a meeting or on a call." Edward said looking at everyone.
"What is that over there?" Pete asked Edward.
"They are wedding photos she must have gone and done that on Sunday." Edward said to them.
"Has she eaten at all over the last few days?"
"I don't know. Emily would make sure she eats lunch."
"Mom said she hasn't seen her either she is in that many meetings and is always on the phone when she goes to talk to her." Edward told them.
"The stitches need to come out of her head Edward."
"She has an appointment tomorrow at 10 I will try to see her at the clinic." he told them.
BPOV
I woke up in my bed again. I got up and got ready for work. I went over to Carlisle and got him to remove my stitches for me. I went to work and headed for my office. I was trying to get everything done but there was a knock at the door and everyone was heading home. I was reading my email and answering a few that came in late. I grabbed a report and sat on the couch I grabbed the throw rug and draped it over me. I was in deep thought reading over the report and making notes when Edward walked in. I looked up at him and kept working.
"Bella you need to come home." he said to me.
"I can't I have too much work Edward." I snapped.
"Bella you are coming home with me now even if I have to drag you there." he snapped back.
"Go home Edward and leave me alone." I said still trying to work out the figures.
"Bella please" he said.
"Fine I will come home." I grabbed all the reports I had to get thru and headed home. I walked in the door and went straight to my office and locked the door.
The next morning I headed to La Push, I pulled up and walked over to the boys grabbed a plate and was standing around talking to them. A few of them came up and gave me names of people to call and others came up and asked what I had planned for this week end I told them sleep and they all laughed. Tiny came up and gave me a hug and the guys all took off to their jobs sites.
I went into the conference room with Emmett and Chris who showed me the work that they had picked up and the quotes they had done. I was impressed by the standard. I talked to them about the staffing issue and they agreed with me that we needed the extra crews. We called the names that we had been given and brought them in we had 3 standard contracts now all we had to do was put the name in a box and it automatically did it. We ordered the vehicles and the tools to be sent to the yard. I told them about Mitch and I wanted him replaced while he was on his honeymoon and then the new crews starting when Mitch came back. They needed to sit down and work out the promotions and organize the sign writer to be here. Emmett said that Forks would be ready in two weeks because they had pushed to get it done. I had to get the boys to go to the bank with me so they could organize the company credit cards for the workers and fuel card. I had set them up so they could order the cells and the laptops as well. I told them that once we had the 30 crews we had to sit tight for a few months and watch the figures because I had spent a shit load now we needed to make it back.
The boys were amazed at how smooth everything was running and how much more on top of the quotes and drafts they were. I said I was wrapped with the level of professionalism they have both showed me this week and the standard of work they were pumping out. I told them the girls in the office are to switch the phones over at 4:30 on a Friday to have drinks as well. I told them once the 2 yards were up and running they were to take it in turn but I still wanted the guys all together to socialize.
We talked about the Timber & Hardware and they couldn't believe the difference the revamp to the yard and show room had made. I told them about the tenders the mill boys picked up and that I had to go in there and nose around and I was scared because of what had happened in the past and it was stressing me out. I asked when my place was getting done and they said next week. I logged on and showed them all the cosmetic changes that were happening to the mill and they were floored at what they seen. I told them that the construction company at Port Angeles was for sale and the owner keeps calling me. I told them in the end I told him to come and meet with me in an hour and they both looked at me. I started to laugh and said to them I think we had enough work and they agreed but it is nice to see the books and then the light must of went off in their heads. There was a knock at the door and there was my husband standing in the doorway in his scrubs.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I came to see my wife?" he said back to me.
"Well she is in a meeting you can either join or go home." I said to him and turned back to the boys, I felt him sit beside me.
"So I was thinking if they look like they are closing up I might run an advertisement in the local paper there." I said to Chris and Emmett.
"That would be a good idea Tinks." Chris said.
"Well the guys from the head office will be here in a minute did you want the Foremen's to be here?" I asked them knowing that they would say yes.
"We should bring them in we haven't hidden anything from them before." Em said.
"Ok I will send them an email." I said getting up to grab my Blackberry.
I was writing it when Edward came and grabbed me and steered me out side I was so caught up in what I was doing I didn't realize I was in one of the spare offices.
"What is going on? What is this meeting about?" Edward asked.
"Well if you had have been helping me over the last week you would know Edward." I said to him.
"You need to go home and get changed if you want to be at the meeting Edward. I don't have time for this and especially not at work." I said walking to the door.
"Fine Isabella Cullen" he snapped and took off.
15 minutes later everyone was here and set up. I made sure that Pauley brought Mitch so he was here too. Edward was back and I had taken him in my office and explained what the meeting was about. He tried to hug me but I pulled away.
"Bella love, we need to talk." Edward told me.
"I know Edward but I am to mad at you to even look at you." I said to him.
"Why are you so mad with me Love, I miss you and this." he said hugging me and placing a kiss on my lips, all my anger went and I snuggled into his arms. He kissed my head and held me.
"I love you Bella but this past week has been hell for me, I need my wife." Edward told me.
"I needed my husband, do you know what all the meetings were I had this week? They were for your Medical Center and I looked like an idiot because I didn't know half the shit they were talking about. I had to research and take notes in the meetings so I could find out what they had just talked about. I needed you Edward and you weren't there for me. I have 300 different reports and legal, medical licenses to apply for and I don't understand any of it, it takes me all day to understand 3 and sign them." I said sniffling into his chest.
"Oh Bella why didn't you tell me?"
"I called the hospital over 30 times Edward and left messages with Carla for you to call but you never did." I said sniffling.
"I never got 1 of you messages Bella." he said.
"Where are the reports and that Bella?"
"They are all at home in our office and some at my office." I said.
"I hired a Medical Lawyer who is coming to meet with you on Monday and go over anything you don't understand." I told him walking over to my bathroom in the office.
"Love I am so sorry about this week." Edward said.
"Me too" I said looking at him.
"Why aren't you working?" I asked him.
"Because I needed my wife and the hospital can do without me for today?" he said to me cuddling me and kissing me.
"Hi" he said looking into my eyes.
"Hi" I said back and then we kissed.
"I love you Bella" he said against my lips.
"I love you too babe" I said kissing him again.
"I missed you love."
"I missed you too."
"Come on lets go get this meeting over with so we can go home." Edward told me.
"Ah, that's not going to happen babe, I have so much to do today." I said looking into his eyes.
"Ok well as long as we are together I don't care where we are?" he said kissing me again.
We walked out hand in hand into the reception to meet with the owner of the Construction Company and headed back to our office. I made sure that the intercom to the conference room was on so that the boys could hear the conversation.
"Mr. Mathews please take a seat." I said motioning to the chair.
"So what is it you think that my husband and I can do for you today?" I asked.
"Well Mrs. Cullen I was hoping that you would buy my Company." he said looking at Edward and I.
"And why would we want to do that Mr. Mathews I have 2 companies that run like clockwork and we are very busy. Thanks to the dedication to my staff." I said looking at him.
"Yes, Mrs. Cullen I have heard about your staff and how loyal they are to you. I have not heard one bad comment from any of your workers even the scum contractors regard you highly." he said looking at me.
"I would ask you to refrain from calling my workers scum Mr. Mathews it is easy to see why your business is about to go under if you regard your workers like that. I will let you in on something my contractors are the best bunch of men. I have loyal, hard working, dedicated men, they are my family and I treat them as such. So watch your mouth and don't talk about my family like that or I will toss your ass out that door." I said sternly.
"I'm sorry to have offended you Mrs. Cullen." Mr. Mathews told me smirking.
"Yes well let's look at your paper work so I can let my team look at it shall we." I said sitting up.
He handed it to me and Edward and I walked out giving it to James to sort thru and give to the appropriate people to look at. I walked into the conference room to the workers.
"What a jerk off." I said to the boys.
"Tinks thanks for saying those things to him." Bluey said.
"Come on guys I never said anything that wasn't true and you know it." I said looking at him.
"We know," Tiny said.
"Can we watch you toss his ass?" Bluey asked laughing.
"Maybe if he says anything else," I said laughing walking back out with Edward and into my office taking a seat.
"Mrs. Cullen how long will it take for me to have an answer?" he asked.
"Well Mr. Mathews I am bringing my management team over to have a look at the yard as well. I don't want to have any surprises and before I make a decision." I said looking at him.
"Those files you gave me are everything because if I was to buy I will only honor the contracts that you gave me." I said looking at him.
"Yes that is everything." he said.
"So it is slow for you at the moment then, not much work." I said looking at him.
"I have trouble finding workers Mrs. Cullen." he said.
"Well that doesn't surprise me if you treat them like shit." I snapped.
"Yes I am seeing the errors now looking around here." he said motioning to my office.
"You run a very tight ship." he said looking at me.
"Our workers are the ones who run it for us, we just make sure they have the tools and support to succeed." Edward said. I looked at him and smiled.
"So Mr. Cullen what are your thoughts on your workers, the same as your wife's?" Mr. Mathews asked.
"The boys mean a lot to us they are family. Isabella and I made sure that they are well looked after, with saying that I can tell you if you disrespect our workers or my wife again there are 22 men here that would toss your ass out for offending her. You hurt her you hurt them and I can tell you Tiny would do it in a blink of an eye. I would watch what you say to my wife while the men are around her." Edward told him sternly.
"Ok I will do that." Mr. Mathew said looking pissed.
"Gentlemen if you would excuse me." I said walking out the office and into the conference room shaking my head and laughing. I walked in and the boys all told me to be quite Pauley grabbed me and pulled me down to sit on his knee.
"Come on Mr. Cullen you can't tell me you share your wife's views on the workers?" Mr. Mathews asked Edward.
"I'm telling you right now you are pissing me off, those workers would kill for my Bella if she asked them to. Bella has a bond with each of the workers they are drawn to her not by her looks but by her kindness. The men all work hard for her and this company because she cares about them and their future. The men nicknamed her Tink's because she made 230 men's life's change in a blink of an eye. She has loyalty and devotion from each and every one of her workers and she treats each and everyone with the same regard. So don't walk in here and question my wife, she is very successful unlike yourself a man who is threatened by my wife's success you came to her we didn't come to you. If you will excuse me I'm going to find my wife before I punch you in the fucking mouth." Edward said getting up and walking in the conference room.
We were all looking at each other no one talking.
"Jackass" Mr. Mathews said when Edward exited.
"That guy is a fuck head no wonder his business is almost broke." Edward said laughing. I got up off Pauley's knee and walked over to him cuddling into his side.
"So do you want to go and look at his shit hole of a place boys?" I asked laughing.
"Yeah Tinks let's do it." Mitch said.
"Mr. Mathews here is your paper work. I will be bringing my guys over to check out the offices and yard." I said shaking his hand.
"Mrs. Cullen, Mr. Cullen" he said shaking our hands and leaving. We walked back into the conference room.
"OK guys make sure you have business cards in your pockets to hand out to any workers that may be there that approach you and talk. DO NOT APPROACH THEIR WORKERS LET THEM COME TO YOU. Have your diaries in your hands and pens to write stuff down. I might end up buying this bitch to piss that sorry ass off and show his workers what it is like to have a real boss and to work for a real company. We have done this once already guys we know what we are doing and I have every faith in you. Four guys to a car Emmett, Chris, Edward and I will lead, then James, Ben, Ang and Patrick then you guys. Chris and Emmett you are to stay with Edward and I at all times. OK guys lets go show them what a real company looks like." I said standing up and walking out to the cars. Edward and I hoped into Chris's car. Edward and I were both reading the report the accountant just handed me on Port Angeles Construction.
"Bella you aren't seriously going to buy it are you?" Emmett.
"Don't know yet Emmett here read this." I said handing him a copy.
"Did the accountant just put this together Bella?" Emmett asked.
"Yep that's what I pay him for, he is 20 times better than Tyler ever was." I said while reading the report.
"Fuck yeah these are bound and presented professionally, fuck how did he get it done so quickly?" Chris asked.
"I don't know" I said laughing.
"Did you see how much it would cost to start up and the overall figures and the projection, the running costs?" I asked Emmett.
"Wow hang on Bells, you lost me?" Emmett said.
"Look I haven't got the time to explain this second. I will show you when we get back to the office." I said laughing at my dumb brother.
"Hey, say we were to buy it, who would you recommend to manage it? I know who I would pick?" I said looking at the three of them.
"Pauley" they all said at once.
"That's who I was thinking of as well." I said laughing.
"So what is it worth?" Chris asked.
"The report shows 1.2million but I say it isn't worth that much." I told them they all nodded.
"You're going to buy it aren't you Bella?" Edward asked.
"You know me so well Edward." I said laughing.
"You're kidding me?" Emmett said.
"Nope" I said laughing.
"We have the Seattle contracts to fill and there are all the other tenders, they have a few contracts to fulfill. The yard is getting to small once we have the full crew. I just think it would work." I said laughing at them.
"James already has the sale contacts done in his car." I said laughing.
"What are you going to offer him?"
"Well he is so desperate for the sale I am offering him $800,000. He is such an ass he will take it. I got Emily to go get me a check and bring it to me before we left so he will be out in 1 hour if it all goes according to plan." the three of them cracked up laughing.
"You are a fucking legend is there anything you can't do?" Chris said laughing.
"You know this means a whole reshuffle of workers" Emmett said
"Yeah I know. It will make 120 workers at each division and 36 Foreman. This is the last time guys I promise you all." I said laughing.
"The sign writer is going to be pissed with you love." Edward said laughing.
"It is going to be a big day I can tell you that." I said laughing.
"We are getting used to your big days." they all laughed.
"James has already registered the business name, Bens already said the layout of the office is fine it is brand new and well designed and Esme already has her team on standby." I said laughing.
"Wow this is huge," Chris said pulling up and looking around.
"Come on guys let's make that ass squirm and buy this bitch." I said laughing. They got out of the car laughing with me. We all walked over and the guys all circled me.
"Ok guys let's do this every one knows what to do. Pauley I want you with us." I said laughing. He just looked at me funny and walked inside. The office furniture was shit the positioning of it was all wrong. Esme will work her magic and it will be fine.
We talked to Mr. Mathews and he showed us everything we went outside and looked around and he left us to answer a call. I emailed the guys to come back to me I needed to talk. They all came over and stood waiting for me to talk.
"So guys what do you think?" I asked them.
"If is fucking huge Tinks." Bluey said.
"The Yard is well laid out." Tiny said.
"Oh fuck she has that look in her eyes." Ox said laughing.
"Tinks you're going to buy this aren't you?" Mitch said. I just smiled at them and they all laughed.
"I will be back in 20 minutes with an answer to that Edward, James, Ang, Ben and Pauley come with me." I said walking off.
"Chris and Emmett fill the boys in but keep it quiet." I said laughing.
"Tinks what the fuck am I hear for?" Pauley asked.
"Because in 20 minutes this will be your baby Pauley," I said walking to the office. He stopped dead in his tracks and stood there frozen.
"My what?" Pauley said.
"You heard Tink's move your ass Pauley." Edward said clapping him on the shoulder chuckling.
"Mr. Mathews" I said.
"Mrs. Cullen follow me to my office," He said motioning to follow him. I nodded for everyone else to follow, we walked in and Edward and I took a seat.
"So what do you think?" he said.
"Well I have crunched figures and numbers, I have an offer my only offer. "$800,000 and you are out by the end of the hour paying your workers all their entitled to and pulling them off site to come to the yard to see me. All office staff are to clean their desks out and meet me in the yard too. You have 10 minutes to sign that, we will be waiting in the yard." I said handing him the contract with the check on top for him to see. He looked up at me and back at the check. We all got up and walked out of the office back over to the boys.
"So what happened?" Emmett asked.
"Wait and watch" I said looking at them.
"Guys call 1 guy in your crew I want the trailers back at the yard and them waiting" I said looking at them they all walked off to make their calls.
"Showtime" Emmett said nodding towards Mr. Mathews walking over to me.
"So Mr. Mathews what is your answer?" I said looking at him. He held his hand out and I shook it.
"It is all yours, everything you asked for is being done, the office staff are cleaning their desks out now, the wages have been done and the workers are just loading all there tools and I have asked them to be here in one hour." He said shaking every ones hand and walking off.
"Call the boys get them to come here now. James sign writer I want the sign up before 1pm. Edward call mom and have her come over. Ang, call Emily get her to close the office and divert all calls to her cell. Emmett get your office staff here and get the phones diverted to their cells same with you Chris. Ben call the Timber & Hardware, get management here and get Charlotte to divert her calls to her cell. We have a little over an hour to get this happening. Mitch you are now taking Pauley's place as of this second. Congratulations. Guys I want 15 names of men deserving of being a Foreman and running their own crew."
"Pauley, Congratulations you are now manager of Twilight Construction Company Port Angeles Division." I said shaking his hand.
The boys all congratulated him and shook his hand. Pauley came over to me and gave me a hug and a kiss and thanked me.
The men all started pulling in and walking over laughing when they found out we had just taken over. We had all the vehicles delivered and the sign writer was here. The guys were sorting the shed and gutting the office. Everyone knew what they were doing because we had done it before. We had all the cars lined up and the foreman picked and contracts signed. The yard was cleaned and we were waiting for all the workers from Port Angeles to show up. I sent all of my workers back for their Friday catch up leaving just management and Foremen behind. The original 21 Foreman got first pick to fill their ranks, telling them to make sure they lived in Forks or La Push before they hired them. We were only hiring 15 crews today any extra had to meet us Monday at 7 in La Push. I had all the uniforms brought over and luckily we had a delivery come yesterday. The office staff we hired after Ang, Ben and James interviewed them a couple we didn't re-hire because they didn't come up to scratch. Pauley was on a high he kept thanking us. We had all the tools delivered and the trailers and vans. It was a well oiled machine everyone knowing what to do.
The Port Angeles men turned up and I spoke with them. They were shocked but happy that we had taken over a few of them were from Forks and La Push so we made sure they went there first. We had everything done, men hired, cars written and it was just back to the Foremen and Managers again. Matthew from the car dealer took all the old vehicles and Esme had the office company and salvage pick everything up from the sheds. The companies were sorting all the files so everything was happening. She had the new office furniture arriving and the painters had just finished. The guys started putting the trailers in the sheds to lock up for the week end. Charlie had all the locks and security all done. I sent the 3 Managers and 36 Foremen back to La Push to have a drink and hold their meeting. I sent everyone else back to work except for Edward, Esme and me.
"Fuck love that was all done so quick." he said laughing.
"It is amazing what happens when you have done it before." I said laughing.
"A lot of money has been spent here today. I don't know how you do it Bella you are so calm." Edward said laughing at me.
"I don't know either but it worked for me today." I said laughing. We went back to La Push.
We sat down and listened to them all talking and discussing Port Angeles work for the next week. They were going to finish all the projects they had going in all 3 divisions over the next few weeks and then start the new ones. Emmett and his office staff were going to work from the Port Angeles Office so they could oversee and help Pauley and make sure the staff does things the Twilight way which made us all laugh. We also told Claire and Missy that they would be working from Port Angeles starting Monday until Forks was finished helping the others to settle in and do it the Twilight way. Edward and I grabbed all the reports and documents for the Medical Center and headed home.
