“We've already had a discussion on Wednesday, Mr. Anderson, but let me be clear: We want Greystone incorporated and the surrounding buildings.”.
Well, sh*t, she went for the throat. She didn't let up on Anderson. I just looked at Bennett, and he looked at me. We weren't letting the surprise show. She was a fucking shark; she had an answer to all his questions and even questioned him. Dammit, if I wasn't already after her, I would be after this. We just left her to do what she was doing. Anderson had a look of surprise and genuine interest in her. He listened to every word, and he really listened. Fuck, I was listening too, and it wasn't even directed at me.
"So, Mr. Anderson, will you be willing to part with your company?" she sat back and asked him while smiling. After something like that, even my dad would sell his company.
"IIf I must say, I haven't been this excited by a business proposal in a very, very long time. This is what business used to be about, not this cutthroat world of today. Miss Sommers, I'll accept the offer.”. He said he was smiling.
“Thank you, Mr. Anderson, and it really is a pleasure meeting you. I'll get the documents, and you can look over them, and we can finalize this today. I'll have some refreshments brought in.”. She said she was standing up.
“Thank you, Chase; you better pay that lady well; determination and loyalty like that are hard to come by these days.”. He simply said he was looking at her with admiration.
"Oh, we intend to make sure she can't leave.”. Bennett said.
When we walked out of the conference room, we just looked at each other.
“What the hell just happened in there, Dominic?”.
“I don't have a fucking clue, but I'm pretty sure Greystone is ours,” I said, smiling. We headed up to our father's office. We found Dad pacing his office.
"SSo what's the verdict?”. I didn't say anything; I just looked at Bennett.
“Dad, she was amazing; she's better than me and Dominic; dare I say better than you? She went after him and didn't let up. I don't think we should give her a chance to leave the company.”.
My dad just looked at us.
"WWhat do you mean?" “She has Anderson signing the dotted line as we speak.”. I said.
There was a knock on the door, so Bennett opened it. She was standing there.
"Mr. Chase, and well, all the Mr. Chases. I have here the contract and all the details of the purchase of Greystone incorporated, as well as the two surrounding buildings.”.
My dad walked over to her and hugged her. Well, well that's a first.
“What is your name?"
"TTia Sommers, Mr. Chase”.
“Do you realize what you've done?” ,
"WWell now I'm not sure," she said, sounding unsure of herself, and I realized I didn't like that.
“We've been trying to get that place for almost ten years, and you did it. I am extremely proud of all the work you've done." She looked a bit ashamed.
“Well, if I said I did it alone, that would be lying. I had amazing help from my team; they deserve credit too." She was smiling now.
“And they will; you and your team will be getting a pay raise; also, Also your contract with us will be extended; we can't have you play for the other team.” ,. My dad was smiling like a lovesick fool.
"TThank you, sir!”. All the while she stood there, she didn't look at me, not once. I was going to get shit for this, but I walked out after her.
Tia
Holy hell I did it, and, oh god, that felt good. I was already back in the department; Tatiana and everyone else were standing there waiting for me.
“ So?" Ryan asked, and I looked at them.
"WWe did it; Greystone is ours." . They started hugging each other. I left them and went into my office. The smile and happiness I was feeling disappeared instantly. Alyssa was sitting in my office. I didn't close the door; I left it open. She was sitting there, playing with the snow globe that was on my desk.
“Is there something I can help you with?” ,
"II told you to stay away from him, didn't I? You're trying to take what's mine, and I won't allow a no-good, low-class gold-digging bitch like you to get in my way, and I won't stop until Dominic is mine, so back the Fuck off bitch”.
I was tired of this sh*t. I walked back to the door.
“Get the fuck out of my office right now."
"YYou don't speak to me like that.”.
I made sure no one was within earshot, looked at her, and smirked. Fuck this, I'll give her a dose of reality.
“He doesn't want you; if I were to call him right now, he's going to drop everything and come to me. You should be lucky I stepped aside so you could have him.”.
The hatred on her face was all I wanted to see. I smiled at her.
“Want to know something else? That day you were here, guess where he was?. Under my desk, eating me out, I screamed
"OOh God, yeah, that was him making me feel good,” I said, laughing.
"YYou fucking bitch.”.
Before I could register what happened, she picked up a vase and threw it directly at my head. It shattered against the door frame. Sending shards flying all over.
I heard running, then I heard him; he was next to me.
"Tia, are you okay?"”,
“I'm fine.”.
"NNo you're not; you're bleeding." Oh sh*t, there was murder in his eyes.
“WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? ARE YOU FUCKING DEMENTED ALYSSA? YOU'RE FIRED. THAT STUNT FROM YESTERDAY WAS ALL I NEEDED. NOW GET THE FUCK OUT IF THIS BUILDING BEFORE I GET SECURITY TO GET YOU OUT.".
He grabbed my hand and led me towards the elevator.
“I'm fine, Mr. Chase," I said, tiringly protesting, but he wasn't listening.
“You're going to the hospital.”.
