Everyone stared wide eyed at Collen. No one ever expected him to say such a thing.
"When you rethink your ways, maybe, just maybe will you have a chance. We don't need anyone who slept their way to the top."
"Who do you think you are to say such a thing!? BOY TOY! How hypocritical can you possibly get? You know what I'm quite certain I heard something from my father about Evelyn getting her position by sleeping w-"
'That's it!'
POW!
Collen drove his fist into Tanner's eye who dropped to the ground like a sack of bricks. "That's one fucking thing to far!" Collen was absolutely enraged. 'There is no chance in hell I'm letting him go after that comment.'
"You damn rich boys all think your so much better than everyone else. You don't even deserve this job! Without daddy's connections you would not even be able to keep a bottom dollar job a trained monkey could do!" Collen climbed on top of Tanner and punched him again.
"Man his accent really comes through when he's angry.... God it's hot. Sierra smiled rubbing her cheeks generally she would attempt to calm things down and get Collen to stop, but after what Tanner just said, she was gonna stand back and enjoy the show. Although Alison was terrified to think what may happen when their boss arrived, she had to admit.... The accent was really beginning to grow on her.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!? GET OFF OF HIM NOW!" A commanding voice echoed through out the waiting area. Everyone instinctively went rigid when they heard it. Everyone except Collen who frowned and punched Tanner in the nose before hopping off him.
"AAAH! You broke my nose!" He cried out as blood poured out of his nose. "Ms. Evelyn you saw this bottom dweller assaulting me just now! He attacked me for no reason, my father will want him to answer for this!" Yelled Tanner angrily.
'Like I said, a spoiled rich boy. The prick has the balls to complain and ask for Evelyn's help right after insulting her right here in front of everyone present.' Collen glared daggers at the spoiled rich boy throwing a tantrum on the floor.
Evelyn stood exuding an aura of both authority and refined beauty. She wore a blazer and skirt, her hair was black with highlights in a short textured bob cut with the bangs a little longer. She stood taller then most woman, the perfect fit body, her breasts were on the smaller side, but she had toned muscular legs, with hips and a butt that would be the envy of most women and desired by men.
"Do you have anything to say for yourself?" She asked Collen with her inquisitive gaze. Collen glared at her with a raging fire burning in his eyes, he maintained eye contact with Evelyn as he turned his head to the side and spit on Tanner.
"What!? You son of a bi-" Tanner didn't even complete his sentence before he jumped to his feet gave Collen another hard slap. "This is a six thousand dollar suit!" He roared in anger. Collen once again stared at him, his eyes like daggers.
"You keep poking a wolf and eventually it's going to bite back boyo."
"Now do you hear this uncivilized trash he's even resorting to threa-"
SMACK! Evelyn stormed over and smacked Tanner so hard he lost his train of thought for multiple seconds before finally snapping out of it.
"You will not insult, or assault employees in my presence! Both of you are coming to my office now!"
"Wait! Ms. Constantine!"
"Alison no!" Sierra tried her best to stop Alison, unfortunately being on the other side of a desk she was unable to reach her.
"Oh and who might you be?" Evelyn questioned while eyeing her up and down with a stern gaze that could freeze a hot spring.
"Oh.. Well.. Err.. " She stumbled under the gaze for a few moments before finding her courage. 'I'm not going to abandon the person who has risked so much for me.' She thought to herself. "Honestly.. I'm a nobody, I just arrived here a little while ago with Collen. He was trying to get me a meeting with you, He didn't start it though he was just defending everyone here!"
Evelyn's gaze softened a little after hearing out Alison. "Even if for the right reasons I simply can't let things lie."
"Shut it street trash!" Tanner began to disparage her but instantly stopped when Evelyn turned glaring at him.
"My office now both of you!" She turned on her heels and began walking away.
"Even though it was sticking up for you!?" Alison cried out.
Evelyn froze mid step.
"Alison darlin, don't worry about me. A frown truly doesn't befit one of your beauty." Collen smiled gently.
"You know what... Come with us." Evelyn called out without turning to look back at Alison.
For a moment Alison was hesitant before she steeled her resolve. 'If it will help him like he did me, fine I will follow.'
The group of four moved to a private elevator that was located right next to the security booth a small distance down the corridor. As Evelyn approached the four guards stood and bowed their heads until everyone present walked past them and entered the elevator.
"Um Ms. Evelyn, where are we going?"
"To the private office the owner and I share. We will allow him to decide all your fates."
"Oh my. I wish I had time to make myself more presentable. I have been looking forward to meeting him for some time." Tanner tried to smooth out his clothes while glaring angrily at Collen.
"So you. Alison was it. You said Collen brought you in? How did you meet?""Actually it was just today we met. I was being attacked by another agent and he saved me."
Evelyn shot a glare at Collen upon hearing Alison's words. "You should know poaching other people's models is not a good idea."
"Hey I just saw a girl being attacked. It was after I may have suggested she had the makings of a model and then I discovered who he was. Either way I'm quite positive you would never work with a scum bag like him."
Evelyn let out a sigh. Then the elevator doors opened into a beautiful room with a few chairs, a bar a few seats, a table, everything of the highest quality hand made by master craftsmen.
"What marvelous decor! I would expect no less from you or the owner Ms. Evelyn." Tanner praised them, laying on the flattery as much as possible before the meeting. 'No harm in getting in those extra brownie points after what happened earlier'. He thought to himself."Pffft If the owner had it his way, the place would be filled with things from the local furniture store."
"Truly? What an odd man."
"You have no idea." She rolled her eyes. " Rebecca! could you bring some drinks to the office please."
A beautiful woman came out from a door connecting to the bar. "Oh is M-Ms. Evelyn right away." Her hair was short and shaved to the side with long bangs. Her attire surprised everyone but Evelyn though. She was dressed in leather pants and a tank top featuring a local band, in short she looked as if she was working at your local dive bar. She had paused a brief moment when she saw all of the people with Evelyn.
"Thank you." She turned to Alison. "You may wait out here, if you're hungry or thirsty, Rebecca can make some of the best food and drinks you ever had." With that being said Evelyn, Collen, and Tanner disappeared into an office with walls no one could see through.
"So what can I get you?" Alison turned to face the cheerful voice.
"Umm perhaps just a water for now?"
"Sure thing." Rebecca grabbed a bottle of water from a fridge under the bar counter then disappeared back through the door she had come in from.
After ten minutes passed Rebecca returned carrying a plate with a chicken sandwich and placed it in front of Alison.
"Ummm I didn-"
"Eat up, I promise you will feel much better with a full stomach." Rebecca winked at her. "Now if you will excuse me." She grabbed a tray full of drinks and walked into the office. Alison could make out Evelyn sitting on the opposite side of a desk with Collen and Tanner on the other before the door shut.
Boom!
After some time passed, what sound like a fist slamming into a table echoed from the office. Up until this moment things had been quiet, although it seemed this was the starting signal. Raised voices could be heard from within.
Alison sat cringing trying her best not to think of what may be taking place on the other side of that wall. 'I've seen to many times what happens when an average worker becomes the target of a rich person.' In her mind there was no doubt Tanner was doing everything in his power to have Collen fired... And for what? He was defending herself and other's, including the person who was about to fire him.What was minutes began to feel like an eternity as Alison sat waiting. What she would do to hear what was happening inside that room. After thirty minutes of waiting Alison could hear the sounds of the door unlocking. Both Collen and Tanner were leaving the room and looked horribly depressed as they were passing by, although one thing that stood out was the fact now they both looked as if they were beaten up."Collen!" Alison ran over moving in front of him. "What happened!? Is everything ok?""Alison please come in now, we have much to discuss."
When the elevator doors opened, Daphne was standing by Alexander tapping her foot impatiently. Although Alexander also looked extremely displeased he did a much better job hiding it. Especially when he saw Evelyn the smile of a wolf in sheep's clothing spread across his face. "Eve, darling it is good to see you again!" "Alexander, I was unaware you were the one representing this child." "As I am sure you are aware, I came here after discussing a possible collaboration between some of our models with Tanner. Although I must say, I am quite disappointed with our welcoming. First a receptionist that seems completely incompetent and rude, then some dumb Irish bastard, insulted not only me but poor Daphne without cause." Alexander heaved a clearly exaggerated sigh and threw his arms out. " Now I am beginning to wonder if I should be seeking out another agency to work with." Evelyn listened to Alexander's long drawn out performance. Who does thi
"What about Alexander?" Daphne spoke up suddenly with a look concern."That clown you're better off without him, he will use you and throw you to the side in the end." Collen shrugged."No I mean I'm under contract with him.""Don't worry, we will take care of that. As long as you show how sincere you are during this week. Just enjoy your time in the hotel Collen is going to set up." Evelyn sighed. "This is going to be a headache."Sierra ran over to Collen handing him a piece of paper. "Well ladies, I have to make a few phone calls. I'll leave you to it."The atmosphere had become much lighter after Alexander left. "So will things be ok? I know that guy Tanner seemed to really dislike Collen.""Oh you don't have to worry about him. I fired him, he was only here to return a favor to his father.""Do you mind if I ask what happened in the office?""Hmmm." Evelyn crossed one arm over her chest and cupped her chi
Alison had swore today would be the day! The day things would finally turn her way, the day she would finally get a real contract with a respectable company. She just would never have imagined that it would begin the way it had. The would be hero Daniel Burgundy actually turned out to be would be molester or worse. The man she had doubts about had turned out to be the hero. One of, if not the most kind person she has ever been fortunate enough to meet.Evelyn had bid farewell to Daphne, Sierra, and Alison a few minutes ago, the girls were now waiting for Collen to finish making his call at Sierra's desk."No....NO!.. Well how about you read the damn caller ID and you will know where I'm calling from, or do you spend all your money of roofies to use on the women you represent you prick! Look I don't care, Listen here Mr. Boggerdeedee If I find out you or your brother come near here again or anyone we represent I will bring the damn building down on top of your head!
"Would you believe me if I said I am the owner?"Alison, and Daphne both turned to look at Collen simultaneously. Collen sat on the bar stool looking to the girls with a calm smile on his face. They both were searching Collen's eyes with their inquisitive gazes glued to him searching for the truth. Their expressions both seem to say the same thing in the end. 'Impossible.''There's no way right? He works a desk! He was being beaten on by the Tanner guy.' At this point Alison could not help but trust Collen almost completely, but this.. This was just too much for her to accept. It would make him a billionaire who was walking around in Blue jeans, rescuing women in danger, placing himself in danger that being said! What billionaire does that?Daphne was having very similar thoughts. She had not been rescued by Collen, had any kind of interaction with him that would make her head over heels for him, or place her trust in him completely. So she was doing her best to ga
Alison and Daphne followed his finger with their eyes. The pair looked up at the ceiling as if their lingering gaze could pierce through the layers of the building standing above them. Daphne frowned. She couldn't help but feel Collen was taking Alison and herself for fools. Any floors above them were all suites of some sort. She even knew the top ones took up an entire floor to itself."And just which floor is it your majesty is staying on." Daphne laughed her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Look I really don't know what your game is, but even if we are new to the industry, even if you are in fact Evelyn's boy toy, the hotel would not simply comp you a suite, plus I doubt she values the sex at ten thousand dollars a night just because you're feeling kind of tired."Collen could only smile. He completely understood anyone having doubts especially about someone they had just met earlier this afternoon. If someone came up to him and said, ' Oh hey by the
All her life Daphne had always been a city girl she was born, raised, and would probably die in the city. Any times she previously took a drive outside the city, was usually in the day time or she had slept. So the view that lay in front of her struck her down to the core. When the elevator came to a stop the doors had opened revealing a rooftop garden like nothing she had ever seen. A river stretched across the rooftop, on one side there was a pool that looked similar to a tropical beach. Beautiful assortment of flower filled the grassy area with the occasional tree underneath the largest one was a small clearing and a bench. flowing out from the elevator a stone path that connected to a small bridge rising over the river, and towards A large glass dome. While all of this was indeed impressive, what truly took her breath away was the sky."It's so beautiful." Fate could not have chosen a more beautiful clear night to present this gift to the eyes. Everyone grows
"If you two would like you can stay the night up here." They had sat down and enjoyed a movie while finishing their drinks. When Collen heard Alison yawn. "Umm." Daphne began to say before Collen held up his hand. "This place has more then one room of course." He laughed seeing the look on Daphne's face. "S-Sorry." "I really meant it when I said I expect nothing in return. If in the future you decide you want some sort of relationship great. If not, no pressure. It won't change how I treat you." Collen shrugged his shoulders. It was far from the first time he had a reaction like this, it would probably be far from the last time either. Alison glanced over to Daphne. "I'm ok with it if you are?" .. "What the hell, why not? Although if you touch Alison, I'll cut your parts off." Daphne smiled confidently. "Oh does that mean you're fair game?" Collen asked teasingly. "Play your cards right." !!
