They Meet Again

The next morning I strolled into my office 5 minutes early for a major meeting.

The company was supposed to be selling most of the shares to some millionaire investor which meant he was practically taking over the company.

which also meant my baby's dad was no longer gonna be in charge.

Thank God!

He was such a snobby and pushy boss. I would have regretted the day we had sex but that was the day my angel ( daughter) was given to me.

" Miss Swan, All the managers, and Mr. Lockwood are waiting in the conference room for you; the meeting is about to start," my blonde assistant informed me.

Her name is Caroline, and her looks and dress are like a virgin.

I tried to set up dates for her, but she refused; it looked like she wanted to die a virgin. Oh, poor bitch.

"Caroline, tell me, is the new investor here yet?" I asked why gathering my files for the meeting.

" Well, no, Miss Swan," she mumbled.

" so why the hell would I go in the conference room to sit down and wait for him?" I asked her rhetorically. She just stared at me looking quite scared.

I raised my well-tweaked eyebrows at her waiting to see if she dared to answer.

" Well, Miss Swan, Mr Lockwood's orders were..... she was trying to explain, but I cut her off.

" Mr Lockwood can kiss my ass. Anyway, get me two cups of coffee, one vanilla and the other pure black.

Any calls that may come in, have to keep them on pause unless it's Claire's.

I am supposed to have a lunch date with a man, Magus Fox; call him and reschedule for 1:00.

Move all my appointments to tomorrow, please. I have something to take care of later, and with that, I walked out of my office, leaving her struggling to write down all my instructions.

I arrived at the conference room, all the managers were waiting patiently for the investor.

" Good Morning," I piped happily, trying to piss off Mr Lockwood because I knew he hated people being late.

" Miss Swan, you are late, Mr Lockwood bellowed loudly, making everyone jump except me; I was accustomed to his bull shit. I look at my watch that was on my wrist.

Wow, Mr Lockwood, 9 on the dot, I'm early, and the investor is still not present, so I guess you can take a chill pill, I said sarcastically.

Making a few people smirk while others watched awkwardly that I was talking to my boss like that.

" Miss Swan, you don't like your job," he yells, standing up and making a scene.

I took my seat and fixed my files completely ignoring him.

" Mr Lockwood, you don't wanna go there, Do you? I muttered under my breath, but they all heard me; just then, a man entered the room, making all heads turn to him.

" Mr Pierce welcome! everyone, this is our new investor, Mr Alexander Pierce," Mr Lockwood announced happily.

wow, he is so fake; how hell did I even fuck him?

Good Morning everyone, I'm sorry for being late, I had a celebration last night for my birthday and you know how those things go, which made me get very little sleep.

That caused me to run a little late, he said, making a few people laugh due to understanding.

My heart jumps.

That voice.

I heard it before.

He reminded me of someone.

Did he just say his birthday was last night? did I dance on him last night? Wait.......

Was this the man who fingered me last night in the club?

Oh fuck, holy fuck!

Next thing he recognized me! I would lose my job.

What to do?........what to do?

Just then, Mr. Lockwood began to introduce everyone around the table, making them explain their role in the company; oh shit!

He might recognize me; I mean, when I am on the stage, I wear a blue wig so no one will recognize me but my voice will recognize it.

I have a unique southern accent from being born in Texas. Everyone always told me my voice was very sexy and smooth, making it obvious that I was from the ranch state.

Being in New York with my accent makes me stand out a lot. This means he will recognize me.

When it was time for me to introduce myself, I decided to put on a British accent; I mean, this man made me feel like I never had before. Something is up with him, I don't trust what he could do to me.

This is Lynn Swan, our marketing Director; you would be working closely with her to change the image of this company, Mr Lockwood explained.

What?

I'm gonna be working with him, Hell no.

Miss Swan, do you have anything you would like to say? Mr. Lockwood asked

ummmmm.........

Welcome, Mr. Pierce; I look forward to working with you. I said in my British accent.

All eyes turned to me in shock; even Mr Lockwood looked bewildered. You should have seen the bastard with his mouth hanging open and his eyes twitching together, looking pissed off as hell.

I tried my hardest to figure out the smile that wanted to form on my face.

" Oh, an English girl, I will be happy to hear my native accent again," Mr Pierce happily said.

All eyes were now on him.

" You see I was born in England but left for the State when I was 5. The only person in my life who still speaks the British way is my mom". He said, smiling, revealing his white teeth.

Just then, Caroline came in with the two coffee cups. I directed her to give Mr. Pierce the black coffee, and she did." Thank you very much he said respectfully to her."

She blushed a crimson red on her face because this man was quite sexy I would fuck him on any given day.

I don't know how I didn't observe his features and his cute beard last night.

After the meeting, Mr Lockwood asked me to stay back to talk to him.

Everyone else has left, including Mr Pierce, to take a tour of the building.

" You did well today but what's up with the accent?" he questioned.

“ It's for the effect; I researched and found out he was an English man," I say, lying in my usual voice.

" Oh, good work," he said before exiting the room.

ALEXANDER PIERCE POV

The long boring meeting was finally over.

I was supposed to be touring, but I wanted to wait for the marketing Manager; she was supposed to be my new guide to creating a new vision for the company.

Plus, she was sexy as hell, with a lot of curves; I doubt she was married because they called her Miss instead of Mrs. I have to be careful.

I'm engaged to my fiancee Maria Smart.

I was waiting outside the door and was able to hear everything that Mr Lockwood and Miss Swan were saying.

You did well today, but what's up with the accent? Mr Lockwood asked her.

it's for the effect..... I heard her begin but I stopped listening and was about to walk away when I heard her voice

That voice?

I heard it before, But where?

Last night?

At the club?

She was the stripper?

No way, what would a woman as smart as her, being working as a stripper?

I just walked off not wanting to see her right now.

I had to be a mistake,

Yes, I had to be.
