Chapter 5

Appointments and Discoveries

EPOV

I woke up the next morning at around 9:00 am. I was due at the hospital at 11:00. I had breakfast, well brunch, took a shower, gathered up my things, then made my way to the car. On my way I pulled out my phone and sent a text to Carlisle that I wanted to meet with him when he had the time. My phone beeped while I was driving I decided to just look at it when I got to the hospital.

I pulled into the parking lot, got my stuff, and then pulled out my phone. He said his schedule would be loose in the afternoon and I should call up to his office when I got the time. So I made my way into the ER then to the lounge, avoiding any unwanted greetings. I got the things I needed out of my bag then stuffed into my locker and made my way to the floor.

I met with the outgoing Dr. Sanders to endorse any pending cases. Afterward I made my rounds and decided to call my dad. I reached the station and thanked my stars that Jessica was off today. I reached over the station for the phone and dialled up to my father's office. Hannah picked-up after to rings.

"Dr. Cullen's Office," She said.

"Hey, Han, it's Edward. Is my dad free?" I asked her.

"He's just getting out of a meeting. Maybe about ten minutes. Did you want to leave a message?" she informed me, and then asked.

"Yah, can you let him know I'm on my way up? I'll leave here in about fifteen minutes?" I told her.

"Oh, ok, sure. That's no problem. See you then." She replied.

"Thanks Hannah, see you." With that I put down the phone and checked on some pending lab work.

I was done in about fifteen minutes, and I made my way up to my dad's office. I knocked before I entered. I found Hannah on the phone then she gestured me to just head on inside. I knocked and I heard my dad call from behind signalling for me to come in. I entered and he had 2 sandwiches in front of him.

"Hi, son. I'm assuming you have not eaten so I took the liberty of ordering you a sandwich. I got you an Italian sub with extra cheese." He said, pointing to the sandwich.

"As always, you assume correct." I said with a laugh and took a seat in one of the leather chairs opposite his table.

"So, what did you want to see me about?" he asked me.

"Mom called me last night and informed me that Child's Hope foundation wants to build an extra wing for the hospital." I stated and he nodded.

"Yes, that is correct." He simply said and urged me to continue. I swallowed the bite I had taken and went on.

"Well, I was thinking since money is never a problem, maybe we could get Brandon & Hale to do it. I read in the article in the Bostonian that they're working on a project for the Jones' foundation. So maybe we could ask how their work is. It would also be easier since they have all the services in one place to follow the progress." I said waiting for his comment.

"They are a very reputable firm. I don't need the Jones' to confirm that. And I do see your point. Do you plan to oversee this development? Do you think you will have the time with you starting in the new position and all?" He asked me.

"I think it will be manageable since the wing will be here in the hospital. I would not need to leave to oversee the work." I answered him.

"Well, in that case, then by all means go ahead. Just be sure to let your mother know your plans." He told me. I nodded and we finished our lunch talking about the patient load and what my new position would entail. When we were just about done my pager went off and I was needed in the ER. I said goodbye to my father and went on my way.

I got to the ER and the patient was a child who fell off the monkey bars in the park. It was simple, just a sprained wrist and small bruises. There were no major cases so at about 4:00 I was able to call my mother and tell her about my plans and she agreed. I went to the information desk and was glad that it was Jack who was on duty. I asked him to find me the number for Brandon & Hale. After about five minutes he paged me the number and I went into the lounge to make the call.

The phone started ringing and after about four rings a lady started to speak. "Brandon & Hale, Good afternoon this is Paige how may I help you?"

"Yes, this is Edward Cullen, I was wondering who I could make an appointment with about a project I have." I said to her.

"May I know what kind of project this will be so I'm sure to put you though to the right person" she asked politely.

"My foundation is planning to build a new pediatric wing at a hospital." I said.

"Ok sir; please hold a moment while I transfer your call." She said then some classical music started to play.

"Good afternoon, this is Angela Weber, how may I help you?"

"Ms. Weber, good afternoon, I am Edward Cullen and I'm representing the Child's Hope Foundation. We are planning to build a new pediatric wing at Boston University Medical Center and your firm was highly recommended. I was wondering if I could set up an appointment?" I said to her.

"Well, Mr. Cullen, it is good to hear that people have recommended our firm. Let me just check the calendar a minute." She said. While I waited some charts were brought to me for signature. So I read and signed what was needed and what I approved.

"Hello, Mr Cullen are you still there?" she asked.

"Yes, I'm still here." I answered.

"Well, today is Thursday, and tomorrow will be a bit tight for Miss Swan. Will Monday work for you? Let's say about 2:00 p.m.?" She asked me and my mind was going so fast. I would be meeting with Isabella Swan. "Hello, Mr. Cullen" Ms. Weber spoke pulling me out of my day dream.

"Yes, Ms. Webber I'm still here. 2:00 pm on Monday will be perfect. Where will I be meeting Ms. Swan?" I asked her.

"Our office is located on 20 Park Plaza, were on the fourth floor. Just go up to the receptionist and state your appointment. I'll be sure to have your name on the list." She informed me.

"Ok, Ms Weber, thank you. I'll be seeing you then." I said and that ended our conversation. I finished out my shift. It was relatively uneventful. At about 11:15 p.m. I made my way to the lounge to get my things after which I headed home.

After washing up I pulled on my pyjama pants then went to bed thinking of my days ahead. I would discuss in detail with my mom on Sunday what she would want done with the wing so on Monday I could punch the idea to Ms. Swan and hope they will accept our project. With those thoughts I went to sleep dreaming of those beautiful brown eyes.

BPOV

Wednesday the magazine with our article was released. Alice got up early to go to the store to pick us up some copies as well as some muffins and Vanilla hazelnut lattes. When she got back she started knocking on mine and Rose's room.

"WAKE UP! I have the magazines and some sugar" Alice screamed. Rose and I went out of our rooms rubbing our eyes and made our way to the dining table. We each took a coffee cup and I opted for a blueberry muffin while Rose grabbed a banana one. Alice hurried up to open the magazine to the page of the article. It showed the ten of us together in what looked like a collage. I'm assuming it was photoshopped since we did not have a group shot.

I looked at the pictures and noticed a familiar head of bronze hair. I took the other copy, opened it to the same page and looked at the picture closer. There was the head of bronze hair, piercing green eyes, a perfectly shaped jaw, and a crooked smile. He looked very familiar but I could not seem to put my finger on it. I was pulled from my thoughts by Rose's squealing. "OMG! It's Emmett! And Edward, and Jasper!" She yelled pointing at each of them. Oh that's where I know that face. He's Emmett's brother and I continued to scan and found who I recalled was his cousin.

I turned the page to the solo shots and I found Edward's page. He was in a navy blue scrub suit and his white lab coat leaning on what looked like a gurney. He was stunning. I then went to the information and article and was completely amazed. It read...

I glanced over to my friends and they too were in awe. Or at least that's what I think it was. Rose was so engrossed that I smiled at her enthusiasm. "See something you like Rose?" I asked her.

"What's not to like? Listen to this..." then she started to read...

"OMG Rose! It's like you were so made for each other!" Alice yelled. "This Jasper isn't bad either. Listen to this..." She began to read...

I looked at Alice after she was done and it looked like she went to la-la land. I checked the clock and saw that we had to get to work. "Ok, let's go get ready for work. Enough drooling for now." I told them and we went to our own bathrooms to prepare.

I passed the Jones' site before I went to the office. I parked my white Volvo C70 in our assigned space and got out to look for the foreman. Everything appeared good and on track and as I continued to walk around I felt mu phone vibrate in my hand. I looked at the caller ID and said it was Angela. "Hello?" I answered.

"Hi, Bella, just wanted to know what time you'll be in? Mr. Jones' assistant called and said he and the Mrs. wanted a meeting with you." She informed me.

"Can we do it tomorrow? Will Ali and Rose be free then? I'm at the Jones site now, then I have to pass by the Anderson site just to make sure all is well since we opened." I said.

"I'll check with Ash and Mel and get back to you." With that she hung up. I continued my walk through and after talking with the foreman I went on my way. I headed to the Anderson property which we just finished about a month back and dida simple walk through of the building. Everything looked ok so I left and made my way to a Subway to grab a sandwich. After this I headed back to the office to eat my sandwich there.

I got to our building, parked my car and made my way to my office. I ate my sandwich in peace then cleaned up when Angela knocked on my door. "Come in." I called out.

"Hey, Bella, the Jones' meeting is set for tomorrow at 2 p.m. We had to move around some stuff since Rose had to go on site and Ali had some meetings with some paint company. But it's all set. They're just asking for an update. No biggie for you guys." She informed me.

"Oh, ok, good I did my walk through today, I just have to organize. Thanks Ang." I said and smiled. She smiled back then turned to leave. I finished up my day and then went home to soak in my tub with my peppermint bubbles.

We all went to office the next day. We had a short meeting in the morning on what we would tell the Jones'. We had lunch in the office and just chatted until 2 p.m. when our clients arrived. We gathered in the conference room and we filled them in on the progress while Ashley brought in some refreshments.

My part was actually on track. No foundation changes were needed. Rose straightened out some kinks with the steel company which was nothing major. Alice showed them new color schemes which they approved immediately. After a little chit chat they left and we went to our offices to gather our stuff and leave for the day. On my way out I saw Angela and asked if we had anything for Monday.

"I'm headed out Ang. Anything I need to know for Monday?" I asked her.

"Oh, yes, in the morning you have a meeting with Sienna Parker from the Cambride Garden Club, they need some kind of gazebo or something. Then this one just in an Edward Cullen with the Child's Hope Foundation wants to see about a new hospital wing. That will be at 2:00 p.m." she informed me.

"Ok, thanks. I'll see you Monday. Have a good week end." She bade me to be safe and I was on my way. Edward Cullen. Was this the guy we have met? But he did not say that he was a doctor. Could there be more than one Edward Cullen? Maybe it's his dad. Well I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I wonder how he found out about us. Were we recommended? Or had he seen the magazine? Yeah, it must be that. He must have looked at it since he was in it as well.

All these thoughts kept running through my mind on my way home. At this rate, I won't be able to sleep well. So I put my iPod into my stereo in my room and put on some classical music. I went to my bathroom soaked again in the tub to clear my mind. When the water ran cold, I got out of the tub, brushed my teeth, pulled on my jamies then went under my sheets and eventually fell asleep.
