Depend On Me

Work Day (2)

Chapter 13: Work Day (2)

***

Elizabeth’s workdays were always similar, she needed to fill out paperwork, meet with suppliers, go to a business meeting or two and an official board meeting once every three months with the board of directors who had shares in the business she co-owned with Ashton... She didn’t often attend those meetings since it wasn’t a requirement of her but she thought it was best to be there while Ashton was out and about in the US... Coincidentally it was one of those days...

“Thank you all for coming here... As you may know...” The man that spoke gave off an air of authority, he was one of the majority share holders and the way he moved and acted definitely showed...

Now Elizabeth was also a majority share holder along with Ashton who currently is out of the country and wouldn’t be able to attend such a thing regardless but that didn’t mean Elizabeth was willing to listen. It was a boring and typical meeting where they spoke about nothing of major importance. These meetings were as little more than a formality, the reports they were given on the state of things also weren’t necessarily important to her.

‘Couldn’t they have sent this in the mail?’ Elizabeth wondered to herself as she gave the documents a one over, confirming it wasn’t anything she needed to go all the way to there to receive.

“Elizabeth... could you wait for me after the meeting is finished?” The man that spoke to the entire room suddenly focused his attention on the woman. Making several heads turn to look at her as well.

“I don’t mind.” Elizabeth said with a voice that was obviously disinterested. She had a good hunch on exactly what the man wanted with her...

After the meeting was over and Elizabeth was the only other person in the room with the man that had the duty of spokesperson that day...

“So what do you want to talk about?” Elizabeth tossed away any kind of formality while speaking to that man. Her voice made it a little bit too obvious she didn’t enjoy said interaction.

The man she spoke to was Billy Carte, a man with little knowlidge of how the world works since he’s grown up having all of his desires instantly satisfied. It was like nothing was out of reach for him and yet he didn’t know the simplest of things for everyday life. The only reason he is currently a majority holder in the company is because his parents made wise decisions for him, it was by no means by his own merit. And thus even now he tends to rely on others to do his bidding... It wasn’t that he lacked the intelligence to do said tasks, it was simply he preferred not to bother himself with tasks he deemed beneath him...

“Now don’t be like that Lizza~ I thought we liked each other a while ago.” Billy spoke with a ridiculously sweetened voice, something you’d only hear from a pet owner talking to their dog, or a mother talking to their newborn. Not someone talking to another human being who you’d have respect for, his tone made it painfully obvious he was looking down at the woman.

“You’re the only person in the universe that could think that.” Elizabeth retorted, not only had they never gotten along with each other up until that point, but such a thing would be completely impossible in the future as well.

“Such a shame you have to act so distant with me... But since we’re here anyway how about we meet at our usual spot?” Billy suggested as he leaned in to speak to the woman’s ear. His tone was low and seductive but it didn’t seem to work on the woman.

“I’m not doing that anymore.” Elizabeth said as she pushed the man back with quite formidable force. “I’m sick of starting at your medium sized d**k and that reseeding hairline of yours.” She said as she picked up her purse in annoyance, she was ready to leave but the man grabbed onto her elbow.

“What? Since when is little miss Lizza acting so high and mighty?” Billy asked as he tilted his head to the side. They usually had s*x every once so often when they met at these meetings. Of course this wasn’t the first time the woman had rejected him but he felt she was hiding something while doing so.

“Since I saw your nasty face that makes me want to throw up in my mouth and swallow it down again instead of having s*x with a dimwit like you.” Elizabeth said as she pulled her hand away from the man. She turned to look at him with a glare that looked like she wanted to punch him but was holding himself back.

“Somebody’s not in the mood today... You don’t happen to have a boyfriend now do you?” Billy asked as he crossed his hands, looking at the woman he could tell something was on her mind at that moment and he was interested to find out exactly what it was.

“I don’t but if I did, you’d be the first I’d tell.” Elizabeth said as she gave the man a small smile before heading to the door of the meeting room which unsurprisingly was locked, the key being in the man standing behind her.

“Then why are you rejecting me like this?” Billy was obviously in no hurry to leave as he sat down on the table and crossed his legs then leaned forward to look at the woman trying to leave.

“I told you already, I’m sick of you.” Elizabeth said as she turned back around and leaned on the wall behind her. She didn’t feel like staying but she knew she had to entertain the man for just several more minutes before someone comes in to clean out the room, then she’d be free...
