Handsome, Let's Make A Baby!
Chapter 2 - Confidence Call
Juliette Winters
Honestly...
It was just like any other day at the office.
Sitting at my desk, peering through mountains of emails all awaiting a reply, scanning through documents and simply doing my job.
But just when you think everything is going your way, you receive that bit of news that will tip it over the edge.
That news came in the form of a phone call.
My phone began to buzz, and I immediately recognised the contact.
Sammy, the receptionist at the front desk.
Juliette Winters
Yes? Juliette Winters speaking. What's up Sammy?
Sammy
Miss Winters, there's a woman waiting for you in the foyer.
A woman? I wasn't expecting anyone today.
I glanced at my calendar and sure enough, I didn't have any meetings scheduled.
Sammy
She claims to be your mother, Miss Winters.
I haven't spoken to her ever since she divorced my dad when I was 16.
Juliette Winters
I'll be right down.
Sammy
Should I get her some coffee or something to drink?
That is if she isn't drunk already.
Juliette Winters
I'll be right down, so no need.
I logged out of my laptop and proceeded to rush out of my office.
Please, please don't be drunk.
Please don't cause a scene at my work...
Please make this a mistake.
While rushing towards the elevator, it was just about to shut when I placed my foot between the doors to stop it from closing.
I wasn't going to be late down after all.
As I looked up to see the person taking the elevator, my nose stiffened.
Liam Thorne. CEO of the company and the most annoying man to be around.
He was everything that I hated about society.
Since he was young, he's been handed everything he could ever want, including the CEO position.
I walked in, ignoring him before checking my watch.
I became irritated when I realised that he had done the same thing.
I crossed my arms, just as he had, and unfolded them just as fast.
Is he imitating me? Does he find this funny? Playing games like a child?
That annoyed tone of his will make me slap him one day.
Juliette Winters
Ground floor.
He made no movement to press the button since it was the floor that he had pressed.
Liam Thorne
Have I done something to offend you, Miss Woods?
Urgh, I'd rather do this elevator ride in silence.
Juliette Winters
What do you mean? We hardly know each other, Mr Thorne.
Liam Thorne
If I ordered you to smile at me, would you?
I turned towards him and frowned.
Another reason why I hate him is because he 'orders' people to do a lot of things, and I've never yet seen someone refuse him.
I bet that if he 'ordered' the pretty girls in HR to spread their legs, they'd do it without hesitation.
Juliette Winters
I believe that can be classed as harassment.
Liam Thorne
At least you're aware.
I cringed away from him, gently looking out of the elevator.
This elevator was quite fancy, the chamber was made of glass so you could see the company foyer and the different floors as you went down.
If I don't concentrate on what's outside, I might begin to focus on what's inside.
Liam Thorne
You seem to be in a hurry.
Liam Thorne
I don't believe that this is an appropriate time for a lunch break either.
I want to smash that arrogant face of his against this glass elevator.
Juliette Winters
I have a matter to attend to.
Liam Thorne
Is it perhaps business related?
Juliette Winters
I believe that it's none of your business.
Juliette Winters
I've already done my hours for the week.
Liam Thorne
So why are you still here?
Juliette Winters
To annoy you, why else?
Just as the elevator was three floors away from the ground floor, it suddenly froze.
The elevator floor shuttered, and I nearly fell on my butt.
Juliette Winters
What in the-
Liam Thorne
Urgh, I've spent so much on this stupid elevator, you'd think that it wouldn't stall.
You've got to be kidding me...
