I walk out of GEH on my way to have lunch with Elena. We have lunch regularly and she sent me an email saying she had a few potential submissives for me to look at. Fuck, I need a new sub! It's been months since I've had one. I've been extremely busy, but now that things are slowing down a bit, I have time to indulge in my vice.
My parents haven't been in contact with Elena since they found out what happened when I was younger. I was stupid to believe I could keep it from them. They don't know it started when I was 15 and they definitely do NOT know about the BDSM. They got suspicious when my grades started to improve but thought I was still fighting because of the bruises that I would come home with. Elena giving me the money to start my business after I dropped out of Harvard didn't help. Well, it did. But my dad went ballistic and my mom didn't understand why Elena would do that. They got their answer when Linc, Elena's husband, caught us when I was 21 and told my parents. Since then, Elena and I ended our sexual relationship and she now supplies me with submissive women.
Upon learning that I am not gay, my mother and sister have tried to set me up with 'nice young women'.
I want to make my mother happy, but what about my happiness?
After answering a few emails and a text from Elliot inviting me to go clubbing with him this weekend, I put my phone away and walk towards my Audi.
I look up and.. Holy Shit! I slow my pace to admire the goddess that is walking towards me. She is beyond beautiful.
The goddess looks up and I see she has the most amazing blue eyes I have ever seen!
She gives me a small polite smile and continues walking toward me. It's like time is slowing and we're the only two people on the sidewalk. I give her my most megawatt panty dropping smile, and stop to talk to her, but she walks right passed me.
I turn around watching her walk... inside GEH?!
What is she doing in my building? I may employ over 40,000 people, but I would know if I saw her before, especially here in Seattle.
Her backside does not disappoint, she has a sexy ass that I'd love to claim, however, what does disappoint is she doesn't look back.
I turn around and continue walking to my SUV.

"Christian, darling!" Elena purrs, standing from the table she's seated at in the Mile High.
"Afternoon, Elena." I kiss her cheek then sit opposite from her.
"It's been awhile, Christian, I was beginning to wonder if your mother finally convinced you to go all Vanilla on me." She laughs.
"You know that wouldn't happen. I enjoy..." I can't help but smirk, thinking of what I get off on. "... Well, we both know what I enjoy."
"That we do. I have a few girls looking for a new Dom, just your type. Here are their profiles." She hands me their paperwork.
I quickly go through them. They are all my type but I can't get the blue eyed, brunette beauty out of my head.
I put the paperwork back inside the envelopes.
"No." I'm curt as I toss the paperwork onto the table.
"What's wrong, darling? They are all your type. I don't have any other girls available that would meet your needs at this time."
"I'm getting bored. Perhaps I should take on a beginner and train a new sub." As soon as I find out who you are. You're mine!
"Why would you want to do that? You have it made, Christian. I give you experienced subs who know exactly how to please you. A beginner may not be able to provide you what you are use to and you could become stressed."
"As I've said, I'm getting bored."
"If you wish Christian. This is for your pleasure, so I shall try to find new bottoms that require training."
I nod my head.
I have to get back to GEH to find out who that beauty is.

I have our dinner all set and in the oven, so I'm relaxing on the sofa, reading one of my favorite books.
"Gosh, Ana," Kate complains when she walks in our apartment. "You're always reading."
"Kate!" I jump up and run over to her so excited to share my news.
"What?"
"I got a job!" I squeal in excitement.
"Really!" Kate hugs me. "That's great! Where?"
"GEH."
"Oh, wow! Do you get to work with Mr. Hot-shot CEO?!"
"No." I laugh because, "I'm not on that level. I'm no where near that experienced to work with the CEO. I'm just one of the receptionists on the main level in the lobby. I deal with the people who just come in the front door. All that boring stuff, but hey, it will give me the work experience I need when publishing companies are hiring."
"When do you start?"
"Tomorrow, actually."
Kate drags me to her room and we go through her closet.
Kate is looking for the perfect first day outfit.
"You can borrow anything you want, but lets get you set up with an outfit for tomorrow."
"Thanks, Kate! I guess we'll have to go shopping together with my first check so I'm not-" I get cut of by a squeal from Kate.
"Shopping?!" Kate is grinning like I just told her she can eat as much chocolate cake as she wants and wont gain any weight.
I laugh.
"You, WANT to go shopping?" She asks unbelieving.
"Well, no, not really, but I'll need business wear, and I'll need your help."
"Deal!"

It's my first day at GEH, and I want to show them I'm a hard worker so I arrive early, ready to begin my training. I've meet Becca, she's going to be training me since she has been here the longest. So far it's pretty easy and boring work. I check in people coming for meetings and give out visitor passes.
I'm checking out the computer system when I feel someone looking at me.
When I look up, there is a handsome businessman walking up to the desk.
"Hi," I squeak out and clear my throat. "Hello, welcome to Grey Enterprises Holdings. My name is Anastasia Steele. May I help you?"
"Christian Grey." He purrs with a sly smirk.
Oh my, that voice is sexy.
I know I'm blushing and instead of getting his name I just look at the computer to check Mr. Grey's schedule, it will tell me who he's expecting, but I don't see anything scheduled this early. Maybe it was added last minute and it's not on this computer yet. I'll have to call Mr. Grey's personal secretary to confirm.
"Do you have an appointment?"
The mysterious businessman chuckles a very sexy laugh causing me to look at him.
I look to Becca for help but she is just looking at me with a horrified expression.
When I look back at the mysterious businessman he is grinning.
"I, am Christian Grey."
Gasp!
I can feel my cheeks heat, embarrassed that I just asked the CEO of the company if he has an appointment to see himself.
"I didn't. ... I mean. ... It. It. It's my first day."
"Well then." He grins, showing off a perfect smile. "Welcome to GEH, Anastasia Steele."
He walks away from the front desk, strolling towards the elevators, with a smirk on his beautiful lips.
Both Becca and I are watching him until we can no longer see him.
"Oh my god, Ana!" Becca shouts a whisper. "How did you NOT know what Thee Christian Grey looked like?!"
"It's my first day." I explain and shrug my shoulders.
"Ana, everyone knows of Christian Grey regardless if they work here or not."
I just shrug my shoulders and get back to work.

Walking into GEH the next morning, I stop dead in my tracks when I see the goddess from yesterday, sitting behind the receptionist's desk talking to a blonde. Wait... She's sitting behind the reception desk?
She works here?!
Before I realize what I'm doing, my feet are moving on their own accord, and I'm waking towards the desk.
She looks up and there is a slight blush on her cheeks.
"Hi." She squeaks then clears her throat, trying again. "Hello, welcome to Grey Enterprises Holdings. My name is Anastasia Steele."
Anastasia. Such a beautiful name for a beautiful girl.
"May I help you?"
I assume she's being polite, asking for my name, so I give it to her. My name that is.
"Christian Grey."
Why is she looking at the computer?
"Do you have an appointment?"
A what? I raise a brow. Is she serious? I cock my head to the side. An appointment? To see myself?!
I can't control my laughter. This causes her to look up at me with wide eyes, then she glances toward the blonde. The blonde looks petrified, probably assuming I'm going to fire this poor girl on the spot for not knowing who I am. Miss Anastasia Steele looks back at me.
I've stopped laughing but I can't stop smiling. Oh Beauty!
"I, am Christian Grey."
I hear her gasp and turn bright red, even the tops of her amazing tits are turning that delicious shade.
She stutters out an apology claiming that it's her first day, as if that is a legitimate reason as to not know who I am.
"Well then." I don't think I have ever smiled this big at work, or on my free time now that I think about it.
"Welcome to GEH, Anastasia Steele."
I leave the front desk to walk towards my elevator.
Once in my office, I call Welch for Anastasia's background check. I know we have it on file since she works here.
It doesn't take Welch long to email me her background check, however, the information I am looking for is not there.
Why no boyfriends, Miss Steele?
