Natalia POV Mr. Ford and two other men stepped through the door immediately. I already knew what he looked like, and was kind of familiar with him, just by the few phone calls that we had about the meeting. I mean Mr. Beacon told me to look up all of his personal information. From his business, all the way up to his contact information. He really wanted to know everything about him, and how his character was when working in business. Especially having this big of a meeting I suppose. He went directly to Mr. Beacon shaking his hand. "Mr. Beacon." He nodded "Mr. Ford." Wow, this was serious. I mean they were talking like robots. It was too formal for my liking. "Well let's get to business." Mr. Ford said while seating himself down on the chair across from us. Suddenly the two men that were with Mr. Ford took out two big brief cases. They opened them up and started taking out papers. After they were done, they sat the cases down under the table, and at the same exact time. They were like creepy twin dolls that you see in scary movies like The Shining. But instead of dresses they had suits, and instead of being young girls they were two grown men. Which made it even more creepy. The thought of it actually made me laugh inside. I think that Mr. Beacon notice how ridiculous they looked as well. Because in the corner of my eye. I saw him roll his eyes. At this a little snip of body language from him a laugh came from my mouth. Immediately everyone snapped their heads at me. All eyes were trained on me like daggers. I looked down embarrassed, and muttered a sorry. I looked up to see if they were still looking at me. However, they weren't they were talking amongst each other. Alrighty then... The meeting was so boring. All I heard was Mr. Beacon talk about things. Well I'm guessing important things. However, I didn't even know half of the things they were saying. So, they were just things to me. Every now and then he will tell me to past him stuff or give me a nod if I needed to write something down. I really kind of wanted to get out of here, and worse of all my phone was vibrating in my pocket constantly. I didn't know if it was Jane or someone else. I also didn’t want to look at it because I knew once I did Mr. Beacon will fuss about it after. So, I rather just wait a few minutes. Luckily the meeting ended quickly and Mr. Beacon and Mr. Ford were shaking hands. I didn't even say bye to the Master and his twin dolls. I just went straight to the elevator waiting for Mr. Beacon. As I was waiting for him I checked my phone. And I was right it was Jane. She was texting me about Miya’s condition and how it had gotten worse. It was about 10 text messages. But the last message read: Jane: “Hey, Natalia I know you’re probably busy. Tracey told me that you were in a meeting. Miya seems to not improve. So I'm here on the 15th floor waiting. Text me when you get this.” As I finished reading the text. Mr. Beacon finally stepped in the elevator pushing the 15th floor. I was tapping my foot impatiently waiting for the elevator to open. I kept on running my hands through my hair out of anxiousness I hope my baby girl is okay. I needed to take her to the emergency room. I mean it had to be bad If Jane came all the way to my job. "Natalia?" I just thought it was a cold, and nothing more. I should have just answered my phone on the first vibrate. "Natalia." It's probably my fault I should have just paid attention to her last night. I sho- "NATALIA!!" My thoughts were cut off by Mr. Beacon yelling in my face. I bed my eyes and looked up at him. "Are you deaf or what!?" "N-o-oo S-i-rr." I said stuttering. He looked at me with a confused face. "I was just-" I was interrupted by the ding of the elevator opening. Almost immediately I saw two little flying legs ruining in our direction. Miya's body went right to Mr. Beacons legs hugging them. On top of that she was screaming and crying. Oh no, this can't be any worse. He's going to literally yell and throw her off him and send her flying in the air. I looked up at him looking for his reaction. At first, he tensed up and froze probably because of the impact. But then he touched Miya's hair soothing it back smoothly and bent down to her level. Which was a long way down because he was a giant compared to her. "What's wrong sweetheart why are you crying?" He asked her sweetly. "Come here, baby girl." I said coming up to her. "No!" she said stepping closer to Mr. Beacon. He snapped his head towards me in shock. Probably because she just revealed that she was my daughter. She kept on crying for the longest time. I was going to say something but she finally calmed down rubbing her eyes. She then flung her arms around him sniffing. He closed his arms around her and picked her up. What the heck? I thought. She never acted like this towards strangers. And he never acted like this towards anyone. This was kind of weird? On top of that she didn’t even want to come to me when she was having a tantrum, she rather goes to a stranger? "What's your name honey?" He asked. She lifted her head and mumbled her name shyly. "Miya" "Well it's nice to meet you Miya. My name's Asher." He said holding out his hand to shake hers. She couldn't fit her little hand in his big one so she just shook his finger. He chuckled at this exchange. She started smiling because he did so. "How old are you Miya?" He asked her while smiling. Wow, he had a beautiful smile. I thought to myself while gazing at his features. "Twhree!!" She said while holding up three fingers up in the air. "Wow so you're a big girl huh?” He said tickling her stomach a little. She started laughing but she finally yelled out a yes. "Well big girls listen to their Mom, don't they?" He said giving her a blank look. She mumbled a shy Yes. "Good, well let's take you to Mommy okay?" He said while walking over to me slowly. “Otay" She responded. Asher walked over to me placing Miya in my hands. Miya immediately wrapped her arms around me. Now she wanted to act like a good girl. "Be good for Mommy okay?" He said to her She nodded her head in response. "Mr. Beacon I'm sorry, but she's sick and I really need to take her to the emergency room. Is there-" "It’s fine, you’re dismissed for the day. I'll just email you the work." He said with no emotion. It was so weird because he was like happy just 5 seconds ago with my daughter. Unless he was pretending. "Okay, thank you Mr. Beacon." I turned around and called Jane to come over interrupting her conversation with Tracey. We walked into the elevator, but before we went down Miya spoke up. "Bye Ashwer!!" She said waving her hand. "Bye Miya" He said giving her a smile. He looked at me one last time and gave me a simple nod before the doors closed.
