Chapter Nine| What!

After the little talk JJ and I had, I decided to go back and finish the little work I had left while I patiently waited to tell him his meeting was about to start.

My phone vibrated against my desk and I picked it up seeing it was a video call from Aurora, answering it immediately, my screen was a beet red Aurora smiling weirdly at me.

"Hey?" I said and she waved sucking her bottom lip before closing the door, she was in my room.

"Hi," she whispered as she laid on my bed, still in her maid uniform, she had her hand on her forehead.

"Out with it Aurora," I said closing my office door so that JJ couldn't hear anything.

"Chris kissed me," she said excitedly and it came out as a whisper and I almost didn't hear her.

"Chris kissed me, twice!" she repeated and I sat up straighter on my chair squealing and clapping my hands, excited as she was. My best friend just got a kiss from the person she's been crushing on!

"Tell me what happened bitch, everything in detail!" I said but made sure to keep my voice low not wanting to get the attention of JJ.

"The first time happened last night when he said he wanted to say 'goodnight' to me," she did the air quotes and I grinned looking at her, I knew that wasn't going to be any normal goodnight.

"So he was like, 'Goodnight, Aurora', girl when he said that his voice came out raspy and his eyes were boring into mine, I giggled like the idiot I am and then he smiled making my breath get stuck in my throat, AMELIA!" she exclaimed fanning herself and I took a stack of papers and fanned myself too. I knew it was about to get hotter.

"And then what happened," I pressed on scooting closer to the phone watching as she bit her lip and giving me the look of 'what do you think happened?'. "No, it has to come out of your mouth, in detail too!" I said taking a sip of my water and pulling off my suit jacket.

"I said goodnight Chris, and baby girl when I was about to turn around he grabbed me by my waist pulling me back to him and crashing his soft, warm lips on mine, Amelia, I swear I fell in love all over again!"

"Aurora!" I said not believing what she was telling me, this is like a fantasy. "He pulled you back like they do in the movies!"

"And he did it sexier!" she said and I laughed snapping my fingers together!

"Facts, bitch, facts!" she flipped her hair and I flipped mine too, seeing that today I didn't tie it up into a ponytail. "Tell me about the second kiss!"

"Oooh you're a thirsty one," she said and I pulled my face back making her laugh.

"That's because nobody is quenching my thirst, but come on, let me hydrate a little with your two drops," I said clapping my hands and at that exact moment, my alarm rang making me frown. "You know what, that story is for tonight! I gotta go," I said getting up and pulling on my jacket.

"Mhh, yes mama! Tell around and let me some of that ass!"

"You're crazy!" I said but not before turning around and doing a mini shake for her. "I really have to go now, love you, Ora."

"Love you too, babe," she said and I hung up the phone and grabbed the files that were on my desk and walked into JJ's office.

"Sir, the meetings in ten minutes, we have to go prep," I said to him as he was focused on his laptop.

"Hmm?" he hummed still not looking at me and I frowned walking closer to him.

"Mr Daniels, the meeting?" I touched his shoulder and I saw him lean towards it.

"Oh yes, the meeting," he said as he got up and put on his jacket. "Do you have the files and the presentation?"

I showed him the stack of files that were in my hands and he nodded.

"Let me grab that for you," he said taking my files from me before I even had the chance of saying no. "Please grab my tablet for me."

I followed behind him as we walked to the elevator with his tablet in my hand, that was literally the only thing I was holding.

"You know, I could just hold everything," I said pointing to the files and he looked down at them.

"I wouldn't be a gentleman if I let a lady carry everything when I could help her would I?" he said and I smiled shrugging.

"I guess not."

We walked to the conference room and I quickly set the files up for the number of people that were coming.

JJ was in some Hotel and something more business, I didn't know about something more business because all the work I had was always related to Hotels, which I must say I did sometimes enjoy working on, and I've only been here for two days...wow.

The receptionist walked in with a group of other men following right behind her and I stood next to JJ as the men shook the hands of each other, while I stood there awkwardly, with a fixed smile. Practice makes perfect.

"I'm so glad you could join us, today gentlemen," JJ said to the men as we both sat down if I remembered correctly, he was looking into buying their Hotel, and I have to say he did have the perfect strategy of convincing people to sell something to him, and I'm guessing dad helped him enhance that skill.

"Ms Adams," JJ said and I looked at him with a questioning manner, what did I do? Did I print the wrong files? I'm I supposed to leave? "Please, continue with the presentation," he pointed to the screen that was between us and on my left. What?

Me, continue the presentation? He was the one who was supposed to do this, not me! Clearing my throat, I got up slowly and smiled at everyone before moving closer to the screen.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen, Daniels Co. has come up with the most effective and strategic ways of upgrading their hotels and making them more productive in their sales," I began presenting making sure I would keep my eye contact with the men and trying so hard not to glare at JJ.

I went on to tell them about all the change the Daniels Hotels have been going through and how their sales are soaring with this particular change and how all the other hotels under Daniels Co. seem to be flourishing as well, trying to reel them in, which seemed to be working and I was glad that years under my father's 'wing' wasn't going to waste.

"As you can see gentlemen, going with Daniels Co. wouldn't only get you sales, but it would definitely put you on the countries top recommended hotels! Of course, with the right change, we can get you there. Thank you," I completed my or his presentation switching off the screen, I whispered my thank you as the men clapped and distinctive chatter filled amongst them.

I'm going to snap Daniels head off!

"We will surely be in touch, Mr Daniels," the man shook his hand and I just stood there smiling, ugh my cheeks hurt. "And you my dear, you were magnificent, great work!"

He took my hand in his and pressed a kiss on it before smiling at me and leaving. Once they were all gone, I turned and glared at Daniels.

"That was your presentation!"

"I know, and you delivered it better," he said with a smirk. "What'd you think of my strategy and plans?" he asked as we walked to the elevator together.

"I think it could be productive for your hotels, well it seems more than productive, but in order to execute it, you'll have to see what you're working with, maybe you know but I don't," I said and he stared at me for quite sometime before nodding.

The elevator opened on our floor and I walked out first yet he managed to pass me with his long strides.

"Pack a bag, Ms Adams, we're going to Belgium."

"What!?"
