Chapter 17: A Good Laugh
I Only Own The Plot
CPOV
I have been married to my Beauty for three months now and it has been the best part of my life. Waking up and falling asleep with her is my dream come true. Of course, we have our disagreements, but it never comes to an argument. She has taught me that just simply communicating will go a long way and it saves a lot of time. She shows me something new every day and vice versa. I, of all people, taught her it's okay to let her guard down around the people who love her.
"Mr. Grey, your 3 pm appointment is here," Andrea says over the intercom, breaking me out of my trance.
"Show them in Andrea. Also, find me a flower shop so that I can pick some flowers out for my wife. Thank you." I release the button and stand to greet my appointment.
Ros and I have been working on acquiring a technology company based in California. Ros was going to take a trip out there, but the CEO insisted on coming to us and wanted to meet me in person. I don't usually do these types of meetings, but my workload has been a lot less since I started delegating tasks. I figured that if I want to have kids soon, I should make myself more available. Also, my stress has been lowered tremendously since doing so.
"Mr. Grey will be with you in one-second ma'am." I hear Andrea say before swiftly entering my office and closing the door. I give her an odd look.
"Mr. Grey, I am so sorry about this, but that woman is not here for you to buy her company. I overheard her on the phone, she thought she was quietly whispering, she's here to seduce you and she is recording. I have no idea where the device is," Andrea says in one breath.
I look at her in shock.
"Okay, what we will do is pretend we know nothing. Make sure Jason is aware of this plot and is recording everything. Also, leave the door wide open. We are about to take her to the cleaners, Andrea." I say with a cocky smirk.
"Yes sir," she says while smirking back and turning to leave. I don't know what I would do without her.
"Mr. Grey will see you now. Follow me please." I hear Andrea say.
I internally roll my eyes at this woman. Subtle is not her strong suit. She is wearing a "fuck me" dress and heels with heavy makeup.
"Mr. Grey," she heavily purrs at me. "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet with me. I figured I would schedule this meeting after you had some time to settle into boring married life," she says with a light flirty chuckle.
"Being married to my wife will never get boring, Ms. Williams. She is everything to me." I say coolly. Her talking about my Beauty disrespectfully will get her thrown out of my building quicker than she can blink. I see her smirk fall a little before she tries a different tactic.
"Of course, Mr. Grey. Do you mind if we close the door? I want some information to stay confidential," she says while biting her lip. Ana looks a million times better when she does it.
"Absolutely not. The door stays open." I say firmly.
"Christian, let me cut to the chase. I would like to make a deal for my company and to close that deal, I would like to fuck you on top of your desk. What do you say?" she says standing up and leaning towards me. Pushing her breast towards me. I don't even look down. I keep my eyes on her face.
Just as I am about to throw her out of my office, I hear my elevator ding and my Beauty's voice.
"You know you can just go right on in Ana," I hear Andrea giggle.
"Just checking. I know he has a meeting. I wasn't sure if he was done or not." I hear her voice getting closer.
"Baby, I brought us a late lunch since I had to work through our usual time," Ana says while looking down in the bag. It smells like Chinese food. I am drooling at the thought.
"Oh! I am so sorry to interrupt. I thought your meeting was finished. I'll wait out in the hall," she says blushing and turning to leave.
"Wait! You don't have to leave Beauty. Ms. Williams was just on her way out. She thought that coming in here to seduce and record me was going to get her more money for her company that we are trying to buy. She was obviously wrong and we will not be moving ahead with her company. Therefore, there is no reason for her to still be here," I say while walking over to my Beauty and wrapping my arm around her tiny waist.
Ana startles us all when she just bursts out laughing. She almost drops the food because she is laughing so hard. I quickly take it from her. She bends at the waist and continues laughing.
"She thought she could, OH GOD!" she can barely get it out because she is laughing so hard.
I start to chuckle and I hear Andrea laughing along as well. Ms. Williams stands there with her mouth gaping in shock.
"How… how did you figure it out?" she stutters while asking.
"Next time, don't detail your whole plan in front of the person you plan on seducing secretary," I say without even looking at her. I wish she could leave so I could devour my orange chicken and lo mein.
"I have to call Luke in here. This is too good. He's going to faint from laughing so hard. Christian, your office still records, right? I want him fainting on camera," Beauty says while still laughing and reaching for her phone.
"RECORDS?! I didn't know you were recording me! I didn't permit you," she shrieks at me.
"You did. In the email, you were sent. It clearly says that by showing up to this meeting, you consented to be recorded once you set foot in my building," I say while taking our lunch to the meeting table in my office. It smells so good.
"Luke, you and Taylor need to get here pronto. The funniest thing is happening right now. Hurry!" Beauty says while going to sit on the couch in my office.
Jason and Luke run into my office a few seconds later, looking around wildly.
"Banana, what's going on?" Luke asks looking at Ana, who is now in silent tears from laughing so hard. She is trying to speak, but it is coming out in gasps. Luke turns to me for answers.
"She tried to seduce me and then blackmail me to get a better offer for her company," I say while shrugging and picking up my chopsticks. I don't know which piece to start with first.
"SHE DID WHAT?!" Luke says and then starts laughing just as hard as Ana. Jason lets out a short chuckle.
"Who could resist me? Look at me, I look just like her. He should've crawled all over me. I'm out of here. I'll send my CFO to finish the paperwork," she starts to say.
"Ms. Williams, what aren't you understanding? You came in here and tried to have sex with me to blackmail me into a deal. That's not even the worse part," I say standing up and looking at her.
"You disrespected my wife. You came in here with the intent of having me break my vows to my wife and I am not having that. As long as I am alive, no one will ever disrespect her and get away with it. And don't ever compare yourself to my goddess that is sitting over there. She looks a million times better," I say sitting back down and shoving a piece of chicken in my mouth. This is so good.
"Fine! If you won't buy my company, I will go elsewhere," she screams at me.
"Good luck. This video will be sent to every media outlet we know of as a mass email by the time you leave. Now, please leave. I am going to devour this food my Beauty has provided for me and then I am going to devour her," I say while shifting my focus from Leila to Ana.
"Aw! That's gross, Christian," Luke yells.
With a scream, she runs out of my office. We all stare after her for a second and then burst into a fit of laughter.
"Jason, edit everything together and then send it to the NOOZ. Every other media outlet can get it from them. I don't care. Start the clip of when Leila first walks into my office and end it when she screams and runs out," Jason nods and turns to leave, dragging Luke with him.
"You better not touch my sister, Chris," Luke yells at me. Beauty and I both laugh at him.
"Now, let's get you fed and then get you in me," Beauty says while sitting down to eat.
AN: Here is a little filler for you guys that I just thought of. I hope you enjoy it! Read and Review! It means a lot to me. Until Laters, Babes! 3
