The Date

Christian smiled and with a wave of his hand asked her to show him the way, he quickly wrote a text to Taylor to follow.

-Ms. Steel, yesterday I did not have the opportunity to tell you that your work at Kids of Heaven seems wonderful to me, I'm sure my mother would have loved to talk to you to exchange ideas.

"Thank you Mr. Grey, and I think there will be an opportunity to talk to your mother when I go to Seattle, I'm thinking about opening a KH shelter there, I'll probably need all the advice I can, Construction equipment and school and psychiatric counseling.

"Well, I think my mother would be happy to help, and you can count on me for what you need."

Ana smiled, they arrived at the small restaurant and they occupied a table withdrawn in the bottom, it was the first time that had lunch in NY with someone who was not its friend, she was nervous but at the same time contented.

Christian approached the bar and made his order, it was the first time he shared a casual lunch with a woman, his life had always been perfectly structured and controlled, but since yesterday, all he could think about was spending time with This young woman, and all his precious control disappeared and did not even seem to care, it had been a sort of fate to find her in the foundation, and he was not going to let this opportunity pass, he would try to know as much as possible about her. When he had everything, he came back to the table; she looked out the window with longing in her eyes.

-"A dollar for your thoughts?" - He said putting the things on the table.

Ana smiled wistfully.

-I was thinking that I'm going to miss this city, I've been 5 months and I've gotten used to its movement, but I really miss my home.

Christian nodded, wanted to ask more but felt it was not the right time.

-"I see, and tell me Miss Steel, when will you return to Seattle?"

-Ana, please call me Ana, and I would be returning before Christmas, I want to spend the holidays with my father, and he lives in Montesano.

-"And after the holidays, would you go back to NY?"

Ana smiled. "My residence is in Seattle, as I said yesterday, on a family matter, I was only in NY, but I've finished practically everything I've come to do, besides, my roommate, Ms. Kavanagh , Is also finishing her internship and will return with me.

Christian involuntarily contracted the gesture at the mention of the name Kavanagh, Ana who noticed that, felt uncomfortable, did not know what to say, did not want to pester Mr. Grey.

-"I see, and you and Ms. Kavanagh are very friends?" Christian asked incredulously, not understanding how a woman as sweet as Anastasia could be friends with a person as unpleasant as she. "And I continue with the words, what happens to me, why everything seems sweet or tender when I am with her," questioned mentally.

-"Yes, we lived together during college, and when we finished, we moved to an apartment in Seattle together, she's like the sister I never had ..." She stopped, wanted to say something but was afraid to cross a line, Christian noticed this

-"Something Miss Steel?"

Ana bit her lip nervously, searching for the right words to express what she meant, Christian was struggling internally to control the urge to kiss her and was losing the battle, so before he could stop, took Ana's chin and gently spread his lower lip from between her teeth, she looked at him with wide eyes and lips parted, breathing hard, the rose of his fingers on her face quickened her heart.

Christian swallowed slowly, his finger still on his chin, he did not know how many minutes they were looking at, blue to gray.

-"Please," said Christian huskily, "do not bite your lip."

Ana just nodded, shaking her head, then lowered her face, concentrating on her sandwich, "Why does your touch affect me so much?" She thought.

They both started to eat in silence, did not know what happened, but there was a tension in the environment that was difficult to ignore, after a few minutes Ana decided to arm herself with courage and talk what she thought.

-Mr. Grey, I ... I know it's not my place, but I want you to know that I understand that you've been upset with Kate, it was very inappropriate what she said, and that's why I apologize ..." Ana looked at the table and was extremely flushed, much embarrassed by what she just said and hoped that Kate's mention would not ruin the meal. When she looked up, the last thing she expected was to see Christian with a startled face.

-"Why do you apologize?" - He said in a whisper.

"I ... I felt ... that I should do it," said Ana, sinking into her seat looking back at the table, Christian lifted his chin in his hands, and looking into her eyes he said.

-Ms. Steel, you don`t have to apologize, what happened to Miss Kavanagh is between her and me, and I must admit that the last time I behaved very badly with her, before she could even explain herself, I closed, and threw it, to the shouts of my office, we both act badly, please you don`t feel obliged to say anything.

Ana smiled from the depths of her soul, what he had said was true, but what she liked most was that he had seemed sincere, in his eyes didn`t see hesitation as he spoke, now she was more than certain Kate didn`t know the same Christian Grey than she.

"Thank you Mr. Grey."

"Christian ... If you want me to call you Ana, you just call me Christian - and when he finished the sentence, he did not know what possessed him, he'd never asked a woman to call him Christian, the only women That they called him by name were his mother, his sister and Elena, this was a strange situation, but everything with her was different, he felt spinning in a wheel without control, but, any doubt that had or coherent thought, he saw clouded by the magnificent complete smile she gave him, when he said she would call him by name, he felt he could die now and die happy because that smile would be the last thing he would see.

Ana was ecstatic, what was the matter with this man, she had never felt this way, erased any reason she could have, but her intimate moment was interrupted by the sound of a cell phone

Christian cursed inwardly, "it's better that anyone who calls has a good excuse," apologized with his eyes and answered without seeing the ID

-Grey - Ana thought the answer was very hard.

-"Boss." Ros on the other side sounded very upset and worried. "We have a problem, we need you to come back urgently." Ros's tone caught Christian's attention.

-What happens Ros? The anxiety in Christian's voice made her tense.

-"We had an infiltration in GEH, and there was a fire in the server room, it's under control, but we need you to come back urgently."

-"What?" Christian shouted, startling Ana and the other customers. "How is that possible?" Why did not Welch call me, damn it! He nervously ran his hand through his hair.

-"I told Welch I'd call you and he'd call Taylor to get him up and coordinate the return."

-"Okay, I'm on my way there," and without further ado, he cut off the call, "Who had entered GEH?" A thousand questions ran through his mind, he had to return immediately to Seattle, but when he looked up he found a pair of eyes wide and frightened.

-"Is something wrong?" Ana asked timidly.

-"Yes, there was an emergency, and I must immediately return to Seattle," he said, taking over his controlled CEO pose. "Excuse me, Miss Steel, but I have to leave right now.

The sadness that invaded Ana by the formality of his tone was a strange thing to her, but she chose not to say anything, so she nodded, gathered her things and stood.

"I understand Mr. Grey, I hope his problem is solved, and it was a good thing to see him." She automatically extended her hand to say goodbye. She did not understand why she felt rejected, perhaps because of the tone he had used, minutes before they seemed connected to a certain Level, and now felt that they were separated by an abyss.

Christian took her hand and squeezed it, again that electric current ran from the tips of his fingers to the depths of his being, had not wanted to cut lunch with Ana, but thought that maybe it was better this way, he had more things Important to think about right now.

"Can I get you somewhere?" He asked when they walked out the door; she gave him a half smile of apology

"No, it's all right, Mr. Grey, I think you're in a hurry." At that moment a tall, light-skinned man with military gait, dressed in his suit impeccably, came down from a black van and opened the back door.

"No problem, Miss Steel, he's my driver Taylor and we can take you wherever you say." Christian was impatient, he knew he should leave, but he felt he should not leave things that way.

Ana turned to look at him, and to him, what he saw in her eyes did not like, there was not the spark she had 15 minutes ago, there was disappointment in his eyes.

"No, Mr. Grey, but thank you very much, I no longer take your time, as you said, you must immediately return to Seattle - with this she turned and nodded.

-Mr. Taylor - turned to Christian -Sr. Grey had a good trip - and without saying another, she started walking back to the shelter, hoping to find a taxi right away so that they could not see her, she felt an uncontrollable desire to cry and she did not understand why.

Christian stayed in the middle of the street without being able to move, did not understand what had happened, in a matter of minutes everything had changed, he didn`t understand why he saw disappointment in the eyes of Anastasia, and she had just rejected his offer and left without to look behind.

Without a word he got into the van, and when Taylor got up, they started the march.

"Mrs. Donald is on her way to the airport with the suitcases, I've already talked to the pilot and she's ready to leave as soon as we arrive, sir."

Christian just nodded and kept staring at the window, was too confused at the moment to think about what was happening in Seattle, when he was on board and he would catch up, now he was busy thinking about what had happened. .., he thought of Ana.

Taylor glanced at his boss in the rearview mirror, noticed his mood, so he decided to wait for him to ask, to explain what happened.

He noticed that his boss was in conflict, and understood why, today was the first time in all the years he worked with him, that he had a normal date with a young woman, there were no contracts or rooms in involving peculiar sex, only two young people Enjoying a casual lunch, and all that was over due to sabotage.

He had been watching them while they had lunch and had seen his boss smile and enjoy the company of that young woman, and although she met the same pattern as all her submissive, the way he behaved with her, and how she Had rejected him, knew that she would never fit into that role ... and just for that fact, he already liked that young woman, it was exactly what his boss needed.

When Christian boarded the plane, every thought about Anastasia was on the ground, now he had to concentrate on GEH, he had to know what happened, when they took off, Taylor informed him everything Welch had told him.

Someone had infiltrated the company, posing as a maintenance personnel Barney had requested during the week, all the people had been properly investigated, and none of them had any suspicious features, so they did not question their access to the enterprise.

The person had infiltrated to the server room and had attacked primarily the server of the security cameras, although all the recordings were backed up on an external server, thanks to a cloud created by Barney as a backup of GEH information, The fire caused that for more of 1 hour all the security cameras were turned off, until the server was replaced.

The primary objective was distraction, since the damage was not aimed at the servers.

-What do you mean the target was not the servers? - asked Christian running his hand through his hair, was very nervous.

At that moment the phone in the cockpit of the plane rang

-"Welch, what you have for me?" Christian asked loudly so Taylor could hear him.

-Mr. Grey, we know what the distraction was for... Sir... They stole the laptop from your office...

-WHAT? Christian yelled, banging his fists on the table and getting up suddenly. "HOW DID THEY ENTER TO MY OFFICE? IT SUPPOSED THAT IT WAS UNDER KEY?

"I know sir, but they broke the lock, and as the fire alarm was on, and the cameras were out, the alarm from your office was overshadowed by the noise, with that, they took advantage to enter, they just took that, Sir, I must ask you what was in the laptop?

Christian thought for a moment.

-Welch my desktop computer, suffered some damage, some theft?

- As far as we could verify no sir, but Barney is doing a check to see if any file was modified these days, on his personal laptop Sir...?

All the information about the submissive plus scanned copies of his contracts were on his home computer and his office, the laptop he had with him on the trip, contained business data and other miscellaneous matters, which remained in his Seattle office, was for conferences and some reports, also had data on mergers and purchase prospects, but could not remember anything else.

-I had some data on acquisitions, proposals, slides, but right now I can`t remember that anymore.

-"Something about your ... well ... personal life," Welch asked uncertainly, Christian meditated on it, it was a laptop that he moved with him at GEH's facility, anyone could have seen it with her, so he never took anything from his submissive or Of his lifestyle in it, but he was not entirely sure.

-"No, at least, I do not think so, but I do not know what else there might be, I have to look at the last backup I made to get an idea of what it contained.

-"Okay Sir, as long as Barney is trying to track it down, we know by now that it's off, but any news will be letting you know. - and with that hung.

Christian looked at Taylor and did not like the expression he had.

-What are you thinking? He asked, approaching the mini-bar he had, poured two glasses of whiskey and handed one to Taylor, then sat down in his chair again.

-"I do not know, sir," Taylor said, looking at the glass in his hand. "They took a lot of trouble to carry that laptop.

- They took? Christian asked, taking a sip.

-This is something of more than one person, had to be meditated with time, the person entered GEH, caused the fire, and then came into his office to steal, had to have help from someone inside, someone who knew the movement And locations, it was not random - Taylor finished, sipping the contents of his glass.

Christian did not like that, but he agreed with Taylor, this was premeditated, they knew what they wanted and they went to it, they created a distraction so that they could not immediately know what they took and with that they had time to leave the building Without suspicion, needed to see the filming of the last hour, knew that it was in the cloud of the external server, and would see it as soon as they landed.

He tried to remember what else he had on that laptop, but nothing came to his mind, he was so annoyed by what happened, he could not get his head in order, he excused himself with Taylor and retired to the room on the plane, he He lay down on the bed, knew he would not sleep but needed to relax, while they were in the air he could not do anything, so he closed his eyes and tried to focus on a quiet moment, and his mind wandered a few hours earlier, where it was Found by crystalline heavenly eyes and a smile capable of melting the coldest heart, and with this image fell asleep, dreaming of a masked ball and a beautiful woman in his arms, and behind the silver mask with feathers, he returned to See those eyes that held him captive.
