Ashton's Empire

9

As Emilie dressed and spritz the night orchid perfume she had recently fallen in love with at the shop after her last shopping spree with Teddy she walked out of the house whilst there was a car from Teddy Gustave waiting for her outside as she entered the faith she was going to do the presentation properly.

Her phone began to ring and it was Teddy calling.

“Hello baby, I am already on my way to the big meeting” She squealed excitedly.

“Don’t go there first, come to the office I have something of importance to tell you right now?” Teddy said and she had to tell the driver to make a U-turn and she couldn’t wait to hear exactly what he wanted to say.

“Hey, Teddy… I mean Sir” Emilie corrected herself as she was among the other employees and though it was no secret that she was dating him she still had to pretend sometimes that everything was professional.

“My office now,” Teddy said in such a hard tone because he had somehow warned her many times not to make everyone in the office so wise as to know that they were dating.

But even if he didn’t want to let them know Emilie was a whistleblower and that’s how she had said some things about hers and Teddy’s relationship to the others in the office hence gaining the subtle name “Office Whore”.

When they got into the office she didn’t sit down on the chair opposite him she was on his table as she was seductively moving her arms up and down his chest.

“So what did you want to tell me baby?” she asked as she said that.

“Emilie if you get this contract I promise you I would make sure you get an extremely high bonus and you would also be able to have the full-blown big wedding you have been talking about,” Teddy Gustave said as he had her pinned against his office desk.

“Oh my, you mean that?” She asked as she was elated to hear what it was he had just said to her.

“Yes, just make all of these possible and after the contract is signed with this company we would fly to Paris and we shall have the wedding of all you have ever dreamed of, even more than what you had with that sick and poor husband of yours,” he said.

“Of course, I love you so much no matter what happens I would make sure I get the contract” she promised as he kissed her and they ended up having sexual intimacy at the office.

Then she had to leave for the meeting which she was in a rush because their little make-out session had somehow made her to lost track of the time.

“Oh God Teddy, you have made me lose track of the time, look what you made me do I would be late for the presentation,” she said as she arranged her blouse.

“Just tell them you were held in traffic or something woman now go,” Teddy said and she rushed into the car and the driver drove to the Ashton’s Empire.

“Hello, please can I be shown the Board room?” Emilie asked the receptionist as she identified her from her tag to be the representative of the A & A company they had been waiting for.

“Oh okay ma’am, go straight and take a left turn and you shall see the elevators, get into it and then take the 11th floor,” the receptionist said to her.

“Okay, thank you very much,” Emilie said as she rushed and took the direction she had been given.

Ryan had already come to the office but had refused to go to the Board room for any of the meeting presentations he just wanted to make sure that everything was fine and that he could carry out his revenge.

“Why is the new CEO not hear yet?” Emilie asked as she saw Ernestine who had been representative of Ryan.

“I am sorry ma’am he would be watching from where he is on a video call, he is most probably on a flight to another meeting”.

Ernestine gave the information she was given by Ryan and Emilie felt a little disappointed which meant she was not going to be able to carry out her plan of using her body to seduce the new boss to give her the contract.

“Okay shall we begin?” Ernestine asked as she set up the video call, Ryan could see her but Emilie couldn’t see Ryan. 

She went on and on about the project her company was pitching to Ashton Empire and when she was done, almost immediately Ernestine’s phone rang and she went on to answer it.

“Hello sir,” she said into the phone.

“Yes, now Ernestine I would want you to make sure you do the job and give her the job,” Ryan said.

“Wait to hold up sir, what do you mean by that?” she whispered as she was not sure if it was a good idea she had already listened to Emilie and she loved her pitch and she was certain that Emilie could get the contract.

“But sir…” she started to say but he stopped her.

“No Buts Ernestine, I am the CEO and I have made my decision about that,” he said and hung up the call.

“What did the boss say?” she asked enthusiastically.

“Well, I am sorry ma’am, the CEO was not pleased with the presentation hence he refused to give the contract to you” Ernestine blurted out.

“What? But I did well didn’t I? I tried my best to be fluent and I explained everything properly, can you give me your boss’s number so I can call him?” she pleaded as she was confused not knowing exactly what and how she might have lost this.

There goes her promotion and her Paris wedding how was Teddy going to see her now?

“Please can I just talk with him just for a bit?” she pleaded yet again but Ernestine shook her head and walked out of the office.

She did not understanding why and what was happening because like she had said earlier the pitch was super perfect hence, she could not understand why Ryan had refused it.

But then again he was the boss and he could do whatever it was that he wanted to do, it was his business and he knew what was good for it if he said no, it meant he had a reason.

As Emilie left devastated to the car her phone rang and it was Teddy and she didn’t know how she was going to tell him she lost the contract.

“How did it go?” was the first thing Teddy asked her and he sounded super serious.

“I didn’t get it,” she said, Emilie wanted to get over it.

“What do you mean you didn’t get it?” he asked in a frantic angered voice.

“The CEO wasn’t pleased with what I presented” she answered.

“You useless woman, be rest assured you have lost the promotion and when you return can you peacefully clear your desk? Your incompetence stinks” he yelled angrily and stopped the call before she could say anything else.
