Tia
I didn't realize my office door was open, and Tatiana was standing there along with the rest of the team, looking at me. I guess they wanted to know what happened.
“What the hell was that?” Marcy asked, and I just rolled my eyes. “Well, as you can guess,” Tatiana started snickering.
“Let me guess Alyssa thinks you're after Mr. Chase." I simply nodded.
“She's been cornering me all over the building, telling me to stay away from him as if I'm interested in him. I've explained to her multiple times that he's just my boss and that I have no interest in him, but she doesn't seem to believe it, so she came in here and started accusing me of sleeping with him in his office, so I called Mr. Chase down because I couldn't handle it anymore. I have a job to do, and I don't want anything interfering with my job.”.
That wasn't entirely true, but my job means everything to me.
“She's nuts,“ Diana said.
“Oh, you have no idea how bad,” I replied.
I would give him a month and see what happens. Maybe this isn't supposed to happen; I'll let fate take its course.
Dominic
I was more than pissed. When she called and I heard what Alyssa was saying, it had me in a rage. This girl was fucked in the head. I left the office and headed straight to my parents place. I found my father in his office.
“What happened?” I guess he saw the look on my face.
“Alyssa happened; she's been cornering a majority of the female employees and accusing them of sleeping with me. She just had an altercation with Ms. Sommers.”.
“This is all on you, Dominic. That's the one rule, and you broke it.“.
“Isn't there any way to get the DNA test done earlier?”.
He put his book down and looked at me.
“There is. How many months is she?”. That completely slipped my mind.
“Wait, the last time I slept with her was two months before I came back to the States. If she's pregnant, she would have to be over three months, right? But when she showed up, all she said was "she's pregnant.”.
“That's correct, Call her over here; I'll get your mother and Allie to come home.”.
“Dad, if we ask her, she'll probably lie. We're taking her to the doctor; have Mom make something up.”.
He simply nodded, and I texted her to come over. Half an hour later, my mother showed up, and so did my sister-in-law. We were sitting in the living room when she walked in with a big smile. What she didn't realize was that Allie hated her guts.
“Mr. Chase, Mrs. Chase, How are you? ,Hello Allie!“.
Allie just ignored her.
“Hello, Alyssa. We just wanted to take you out for dinner and get to know you a bit better.“.
“Oh, that's lovely!" She was all but gushing.
“Okay, then, let me get some stuff, and we'll leave; Dominic Alyssa and Allie will ride with you.“.
“ Sure.” I said, ,I knew as long as Allie was there, she wouldn't try anything. After we left, she was smiling. On the drive down, my phone started ringing. Tia was calling; something had to be wrong for her to call me after she made her declaration. Alyssa saw it. I pulled over to answer the phone.
"Yes, Ms. Sommers, Really?. I'm impressed. I'll let him know, and we'll make the necessary arrangements.”.
I ended the call and called Bennett.
“She got it, Bennett; she got Anderson to fucking bite; she's got a meeting with him tomorrow; then she'll set an official date; we need the documents for the proposal. Okay, I'm out. We'll talk tonight.”.
I ended the call and got back onto the road.
“Wait, was that about the Greystone project?” Allie asked
"Yes, Ms. Sommers actually got Anderson to speak to her,” I said, smiling. I was so fucking proud of her. It took her a few weeks, but she's determined.
“Nice, I hope she gets it,” Allison replied.
“So do I, Sis.”.
The witch was quiet in the passenger seat. My dad had called Dr. Jensen ahead of our arrival, so he knew what to expect. When we pulled into the parking lot of his private practice, she started fidgeting.
"Dominican, what? What are we doing here?"
You could hear the nervousness in her voice. I saw my parents pull up next to us.
“Let's go!”. I got out, and so did Allie; she took her precious time coming out, smiling at my parents. When we walked in, Jensen was waiting for us.
“Mr. Chase, it's good to see you.”. He said this, shaking my father's hand.
“It's good to see you too, Matthew; I already explained to you on the phone.”.
"Yes. Is this the young lady?”. He asked, looking at Alyssa. She suddenly looked like she wanted to throw up.
“Yes"” ,
“Isn't it too dangerous to do a DNA test on a fetus that's one month old?”.
She just gave herself away. I looked at my father and found him already looking at me.
“Why don't you follow me, Ms., and I'll have nurse Renee join us?”.
“ Dominic I don't think this is safe.” She tried backing away, but Allie was behind her.
“If you walk out of here now, I refuse to have anything to do with you, so go with him; it's your choice.”.
She followed him quietly. We sat in the waiting room quietly after what seemed like hours as he walked back out without her.
“Where is she?”. He just shook his head.
“She's gone. After we ran the test and were waiting for the results, she and I had a brief conversation. Then she asked to use the restroom but never came back; she left using the back entrance.”.
“What's the result?” I asked. I was impatient.
“She's only one month pregnant. I still can't believe this, but she offered me one million dollars to create a false report so it would match for three months, making it yours. I told her that's against the oath of a doctor. It was after that that she left for the rest room.”.
“That bitch,” Allie said, fuming.
“I knew it wasn't mine.”. I said, looking at my parents.
“ Dominic I want that girl out of that company and out of our lives. Do whatever you have to do. I want her gone by the end of this week. Don't screw up again.”.
“Yes, Dad. Oh Bennett, and I told you about Ms. Sommers handling the greystone, right?”
“Yes,what about it? Has Anderson been giving her a hard time too?”.
“No, dad, she's meeting him tomorrow to talk, and we'll proceed if she gets the green light.”.
My father stopped walking and looked at me.
“You're lying.”.
"Nope, ask Allie. She called while we were headed here”.
He looked at Allie.
“It's true, Dad.”.
He started laughing, “Imagine she got him to talk, and neither my two sons nor I could get to him. She must be something special.”.
I just shrugged my shoulders and headed back to my car. Alyssa thought she was slick. I didn't even need a month; I just needed to be royally pissed the fuck off. That evening, when Bennett came over, I told him what happened with Alyssa, and he said he was glad she was gone. Then we got to discussing the greystone and Ms. Sommers.
When I got to work the next day, Alyssa wasn't there. I guess she's hiding. I didn't go to Tia right away; I'll let her have some time to deal with her work. I had Bennett check in with her, and he said everything was good. Friday morning, a memo came across my desk saying she had a meeting set up with Anderson for today. I called my father, and he couldn't believe it. He thought it was too good to be true, so I told him that when Anderson shows up, I'll call him.
It was around one when my secretary let me know that Ms. Sommers called to say Mr. Anderson would be here in thirty minutes and the meeting was in conference room seven; they'd be waiting for us. I called my dad. He was on his way over and would wait for us in his old office.
This meeting was all hers. We were just going to be there because she had asked us to be. I got down in record time, as did Bennett; she was already there. When Anderson walked in, he shook our hands. When he saw her, he smiled.
“Mr. Anderson, it was a pleasure to meet you and thank you for accepting this meeting," she said, smiling at him. I tried not to let the disgust show on my face.
"Well, you left me no choice; you've badgered my PR and secretary so much that they threatened to quit," he replied grumpily.
"Well, I'm happy they did. Shall we start whenever you're ready?".
Anderson was fifty-something years old, and the fact that he was looking at her a bit too much pissed me the fuck off. I was trying my best not to let it show.
