Tia
As soon as I turned around he was next to me.
“ Do you need me to attend the meeting with you boss”.
“ No , Tatiana is my personal assistant, that's her job , you're the assistant for the department. ,for today you'll be taking pointers from the others. Ryan Why don't you help Sam settle in Tatiana and I are headed out to finalise the Vodka project “.
I said winking at him.
“ Got it boss ”. He said smiling, that meant he understood.
“ Tatiana, are you ready?”. That was How understanding Tatiana was , just like Mel. A sudden shit in my mood or attitude and they knew something was up.
“ Yep I'm ready ”. She grabbed her handbag. We walked out and into the elevator. Once there I braced against the wall I almost slumped to the floor. Luckily she caught me in time.
“ Tia what's wrong?”.
I looked at her “ It's him ” I said my voice shaking , I saw the minute realisation entered into her eyes.
We got to the ground floor and she hit the button for Dominic's floor. She knew exactly where I needed to go . Once she helped me up , I suddenly couldn't walk. She helped me to his office door.
“ what the hell do you think you're doing, you can't go in there ”.
“ Shut the fuck up ” Tatiana yelled at her.
“ Tatiana I'm going to pass out”. That's when she started yelling.
“ Mr Chase , Dominic, get out here and help me”.
I saw his door burst open and he grabbed me.
“ Tia, what's wrong? What happened to her Tatiana?”.
“Get her inside first, I'll explain ”.
He lifted me up and walked in putting me to lie Down on the couch.
“ Mr Chase, he's here,that bastard that hurt her. He's here in our department “.
“ WHAT ”.
Tatiana lifted my head up and placed a cushion under my head she then gave me a glass of water.
“ Are you okay now Tia ”.
“ I am ,Thank you Tatiana ”.
“ Dominic, I don't think he knows that I know. If he did he wouldn't have come here”. I said looking at them.
“ He's here to screw with her head.”. Tatiana said, looking at us.
“ I'm going to kill that bastard ”.he said walking out. I couldn't move yet.
“ Tatiana stop him now ”.
Dominic
I heard the yelling , I didn't expect to Walk out and find Tatiana holding onto her. This bastard, I was going to strangle him with my bare hands. I felt someone grab me just as I reached the elevator.
“ Mr. Chase, stop. Look I know you're angry and I am too, But look at Tia's reaction to just seeing him if we get the police involved it'll be no use because we need proof. I'll always be beside her every single minute in this building. Go back there and take care of her. He thinks we left for a meeting. I'll go hang out in your brother's department. I'll explain to him and let him know what happened. she needs you Right now ”.
I looked at Tatiana . “you really Care about her that much ”.
She shrugged her shoulders. “ Every boss that came through that department treated us like their personal slaves ,Like we were therw for them to use us , especially me. No one had a voice in that department, It was their way or you get fired., especially with Alyssa. Tia is the only one that cares. She asked all of us our opinion,if we had an idea for a project she put it into motion and she gave everyone their due credit. Even if someone did better than her she never took that away from them ,she gives everyone a chance at something. That's why we're working so hard for her while she handles her personal stuff”.
“ Thank you Tatiana, really thank you. My brother knows what's going on. Tell him what happened. I'll take care of her.”.
I walked back to my office,I stopped and looked at my secretary.
” Tia Sommers is my fiance. She can come and go as she pleases. Also if you ever try to stop Tatiana Benson from coming into my office it'll be your last fucking day here. And you should dress like a fucking secretary not a hooker”.
I found her sitting on the couch,so I went over to her.
“ Are you okay baby?”.
“ I'm okay now , Thanks to Tatiana. She understood immediately that something was Wrong. She came to me and said something felt off about him and she was right. Can you give me agent Ryan's number?”.
“Why ?”.
What was she going to do ?.
“ Well , He's here and I believe Tatiana and I know for a fact that he is here to mess with me. Also we're working on taking their business away from them. I'm sure he's going to try something or anything and we need proof. We need him to confess what he did so I'll give him every opportunity to corner me. I'll need you to come down to my office more often to let him see us together”.
“ No Tia, you're pregnant ”.
“ Either you help me and let us do this together with the rest of the family,or I publicly call off the engagement and I do this with my friends ”.
God dammit she was so stubborn.
“ Fine , what do you need?”.
“ I want My entire house to be outfitted with cameras. Umm I want to ask detective Ryan about a tracker “.
Okay she may hate me or hit me .
“ Baby,ummm”.
“ Umm what?”.
“ Well ”.
Shit she had that look on her face
“ Dominic Chase,what did you do ?”.
“ Your engagement ring has a tracker in it”.
I said not looking at her.
“ Another one. If he or Alyssa manages to get me some way or the other they'll throw it away ”.
“Okay , I'll get on that right away. Also you said he's in your department. What's his name? I'll have agent Ryan run him find out if that's exactly who he is “.
“.He said it's Sam Miller,but he could be lying. I need to eat , I'm hungry”.
Of course she was
“ Why don't you relax , I'll order something. What does Tatiana like to eat ? well ,I mean ”.
She smiled at me. “ Pasta she loves pasta”.
Tia
At the mention of her name the office door opened and Bennett Walked in followed by Tatiana.
“ What the fuck? ,Did you call The detective?”.
I explained everything that we were discussing.
About fifteen minutes later a delivery guy showed up. Tatiana stood up.
“ I'll let you guys have lunch I'll be back soon”.
Dominic just looked at her
“ I ordered for you,sit down and eat”.
“ Umm okay, thank you Mr chase “.
Bennett didn't wait, Dominic just kept looking at him.
“ Who told you to stuff your face?”.
He threw a bottle cap at Dominic, Dominic grabbed a cushion.
“ The two of you cut that out . Have you made a start bro ”. I said, looking at Bennett.
“ Yep dad's on it ,he's making calls”.
I nodded ,this was going to work, it had to work.
“ Tatiana, we're meeting at my place, tomorrow afternoon at five “.
“ Okay ”.
Bennett leaned forward “ Sis what are you up to ?. My wife won't budge, she's not talking. Dominic, do you know what they're up to? " he said.
Dominic started laughing. “ Same,not a clue and they're not budging ”.
After lunch we headed back to our department. When we walked in he was talking to Marcy.
“ Ah Boss you're back. How was your meeting ”.he said smiling . I felt the bile rise in my throat however I smiled at him.
“ My meetings are always good. Marcy can you get everyone into the conference room, in fifteen minutes we have a very serious and confidential project ”.
“ Okay boss”.
I headed into my office with Tatiana behind me.
“Before you say anything Tia, I'm not leaving your side for a minute. Even if you're going up to meet Mr Chase I'm going with you. Even the washroom ”.
“ You know what, I'm not even going to try to dissuade you from it. Okay there's no project. I need you to type this out for me and print Twelve copies, one for everyone on the team. Make sure he doesn't see it”.
I handed her the paper and she started .
We were all in the conference room,he was sitting to the side, he couldn't see their papers .
“ Now I need all of you to shift, you should be at least five feet apart from the next person ”.
“ Is it that confidential?”.
“ Yes . Now I will hand each of you a paper individually, you are to read and keep it to yourself “.
I walked around the table and gave each of them a sheet of paper then took a seat . I watched their reactions. I saw them looking at each other.
““ You've got to be kidding me ?”.
“ Oh hell no”.
They were getting angry .
“ Guys, Mr Chase knows about this project and there is nothing we can do but proceed with it. He assured me that we won't have any issues with this . He has contacted the individuals that were handling this project. The last team didn't do well, they weren't equipped to complete it so now we will. Your specific roles are at the bottom of the paper. I know all of your strengths so I assigned the task properly“. I said looking at them.
“ Okay boss , we'll get this project done”. Marcy said. They all agreed one by one.
“ Okay please memorise your task after you're finished , return the paper to me they will be destroyed ”.
That was when he chose to speak.
“ Umm boss isn't that a bit excessive,I mean “.
“ Do you know how many companies trust us with their Ads?They want to stand out and be different. You're new But when it comes to advertising it's a cut throat game. If anyone finds out a single detail about an ad it'll be ruined ,and we'll be ruined. So when a project like this comes along we take all necessary precautions. This is one of the most Prestigious and influential companies in the world ”.
Ryan said looking at him ,Oh damn looks like they understood A bit too well.
