Christian POV

Anastasia Steele. Fuck. How have I not seen her before? She's.. Wow.. Beautiful!

It's hard for me to pick up Theo from school. He started school two weeks ago and I've only been able to pick him up twice. And those times I never saw her. Damn.

It's been two days since those blue eyes met mine. I'm not sure why she's consuming me so much but she has.

It's 11:20am and I have a meeting. Elliot came to me two days ago asking for a favor. His 'friend' has a friend who's looking for a job.

I know who his 'friend' is. Katherine Kavanagh. She interviewed me for the student paper at the university she attended. She's very.. Blunt.

I only agreed because I owe him a favor. So now I'm waiting for Katherine's friend to arrive.

"Mr. Grey?" Andrea, my P.A says slowly walking in.

"Yes?"

"You're 11:30 is here."

"Send her in." I fix my tie and stand up to greet her. At first I see long beautiful legs then my eyes roam and I almost fall back.

Holy shit. Anastasia Steele.

"Mr. Grey," she says walking my way. "Good morning"

"Miss Steele, take a seat" she sits on the chair in front of my desk. "Small world."

"Oh yeah," she chuckles. "Here's my resumé"

I smile. "From the looks of it you graduated with a gpa of 4.0 and you have a BA in Business Administration and Management majored in Marketing and minored in Entrepreneurship. You worked at a hardware shop before and you did retail. Are you good with numbers?"

"Yeah," she nods.

"Good, you'll be working in the finance management area. Test your abilities for other areas in business. You'll be working with Jessica Hernandez and she'll be helping you test you abilities."

"Finance?" She asks nervous.

"Yeah, don't worry. You'll be fine. If not we'll find another area to put you in."

"That easy?" She questions.

"It's my company I can do as I please" I smirk and she laugh. "How soon can you start?"

"As soon as you'll let me."

"Good, I'll see you tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow!?" She shrieks.

"Yeah? Is that okay?"

"Yeah, I just didn't think it would be that fast."

"So that's all? I haven't even been for for 15 minutes"

I laugh. "That's all."

"But you didn't even ask me questions or anything. This wasn't even a real interview. You just gave me the job.." I can tell she's confused.

"Hey," I smile at her "I'm the boss so I do as I please," I say cockily and she smirks "so yeah I hired you in the spot I have a good feeling about you"

"I could be some kind of spy" she smiles

"I'll take my chances" I get up. "So.. Are you doing anything now?"

"Well no," she shakes her head.

"I'm about to go out for lunch, would you like to join me?"

"Oh umm I don't know, are you sure? Don't you have a wife or a girlfriend..?"

"Nope, how about you?"

"No," she says

"Well then come on, Anastasia"

Ana POV

I'm going to have lunch with Christian Grey. Holy shit. Not only did he hire me on the spot but he asked me to go to lunch with him.

Fucking hell I feel like a teenager going out with the hot jock from school..

"I know this great Italian restaurant they make really good pasta-"

"Christian, Mr. Grey, sir... Umm.. It's almost noon are you really gonna eat pasta at noon? I mean not that it's bad but I haven't had any breakfast yet.."

"Call me Christian, and why haven't you had any breakfast?" I feel like I'm being scolded at.

"I was running a bit late. After I took Phoebe to school I had um.. A doctors appointment and I got out of there late then I had to do some errands and I was in such a rush to make it on time here I didn't have time to grab something to eat.."

"You shouldn't be skipping meals like that, Anastasia."

"I know a diner near by and I'm in the mood for chicken fingers" I say shyly. Why am I so shy around him!?

"Chicken fingers? What are you, 12?" He jokes.

"Oh yeah" I laugh.

"I haven't had any in years.."

"What!?" I screech "how could you not? Especially when you have a son" I laugh. "Phoebe eats that as much as I do."

"Theo eats anything you put in front of him" he chuckles while we enter the elevator. "Do you want to lead the way? I'll follow behind."

"Yeah sure" I smile while we step out the elevator.

"I'll bring my car around."

I walk to my mine and get in waiting for Christian. I still can't believe I'm having lunch with him. Lunch with a guy who's extremely hot and has an adorable kid and is single.

Hmm, where's Theo's mom?

I hear a honk from behind and I see its Christian. I smile and drive off.

Once we get to the diner I step out my car and make my way in with Christian. We sit by the window and look at the menu.

"Why are you looking at it I thought you wanted chicken fingers." He says.

"I do but I might want ice cream afterwards."

"Hmm I might just eat the same as you"

"That would be such a great view" I laugh. "Mr. CEO, eating chicken fingers at a diner wearing his very expensive suit."

"Now that would be a great headline for the papers tomorrow" he chuckles.

During our lunch we just talk about work and whatnot. He tells me about Theo and how he's sorry about bothering Phoebe and how he promised not to do it again.

"What's tomorrow?" He asks.

"Umm, Friday? Uh yeah Friday."

"Friday already? Damn, I hate loosing track of the week."

"I'm the same way, being busy and all. It happens." I smile.

"Yeah, look.. Start next week Monday. No point in starting tomorrow."

"Already giving me a day off without officially starting the job?" I joke.

"I'm a generous boss" he laughs. "I'll be expecting you Monday though." He signals the waitress for the bill and I begin to get money out my wallet.

"Anastasia, put that away."

"But-"

"Lunch is on me"

"Are you sure?" I say feeling bad.

"Positive."

"It's Ana" I blurt out.

"Huh?"

"Ana, call me Ana. Everyone calls me Ana."

"But Anastasia is a beautiful name. Just like you," I feel myself blush at his comment. "I like calling you Anastasia but if you prefer Ana that's fine with me"

I smile and nod while he pays. He then walks me to my car.

"Thanks for keeping me company. Those chicken fingers taste really good. Thanks."

I laughs "no problem and it was my pleasure keeping you company."

"Until next time?"

"Until next time" I nod and smile. I get in my car and drive away.

The loud ringing of my phone startles me. It's Kate calling.

"Hey Ana! How did it go?"

"It went great, I start Monday."

"Yay! So happy for you! Hey I'm out of work early do you mind if I pick up Phoebe today? I miss the little sassy princess."

"She's sassy thanks to you!" I retort.

"I know I know" she laughs. "Is it cool if I pick her up today though? I'll have her home at 5pm"

"Sure, I could use to relaxing time. Call me if anything."

"Sure thing, bye Steele"

"Bye."

I hang up and make my way home. What an interesting day.

Something light and easy going. Hope you're enjoying it so far.
