Gianna POV
I head to the office again today and pull in at seven. I am dreading my meeting with Andrew today but I told my grandmother I would take the project. She said "I thought you would do not forget mums the word to your dad and grandfather." I still am not crazy about the secrets but I know they would both do what they had to do when it comes to what is best for the business. I couldn't have my grandmother using a competitor. I meet Brenda at the door and she hands me my coffee. We have to talk she looks at me with a puzzled look and we head in to my office. Sit down and wait till you hear this story.
Brenda sits and I recap the events of yesterday's meeting. When I look over her mouths was agape. If I didn't feel the same way I would find it comical. "I can't believe your grandmother has that kind of money". That's the part your amazed by what about her making me work with the enemy. "At least he is a hot enemy" she says. I cut my eyes to her, are you crazy he is an arrogant a**hole. Still a cute one she whispers. I am glad you find my misery humorous. "Don't be dramatic you have dealt with bigger douches in the past I think your just worried because your attracted to him" she says. Don't make me laugh he is alright but as we both know he is an arrogant womanizer and I have no interest in being a notch on his bed post. She tells me my meeting with him is scheduled for one this after noon in my office. We have decided to do the meetings alternating offices and every third at a non office location. Again our grandmothers terms.
Andrew POV
After arriving at work at my usual time Jacob enters my office with my coffee. We go over my schedule for the day including my meeting at one with Gianna. It will definitely be interesting to say the least. I'm kind of looking forward to getting under her skin. After we finish are normal meeting Jacob asks if he can speak freely. I have no issue hearing anyone out and grant his request. "Andrew I just want you to be aware that there is a lot of talk around the office about your office activity. One of the secretaries has been pretty vocal about your size and abilities if you know what I mean." I sit and listen waiting for his point. "I just don't want people to see you as anything but professional because I believe that is what you deserve. You have been a very good boss and people shouldn't slander you that way." I really do appreciate him looking out but he doesn't need to worry about me I'm the boss and I could care less if one of my employees tells the other how big I am. I don't acknowledge that it is true and I simply tell Jacob I appreciate him letting me know and I will keep it in mind. He looks a little crestfallen I didn't say it wasn't true but stands heading toward the door. "I will remind you as usual of your next call let me know if you need anything sir". Him calling me sir doesn't escape my notice and I think I have lost a little of his respect. It stings for a moment and then I think its probably jealousy and go about my day.
Gianna Office
Gianna POV
At quarter to one Brenda enters my office to let me know that Andrew is here. She asks why I changed my suit to a dress with a smile on her face. Don't get any ideas I spilled something on my suit. Sure she says to me like she doesn't believe me. I roll my eyes and tell her to show him in. I stand to wait for him to come in as a power play. Never be seated and let someone stand over you my father said was a big rule in getting the upper hand. Even though we are on the same team I will be in control. I don't care what he thinks is happening I am always the boss. Andrew enters the office with that fake smile like he's a nice guy and takes a seat in front of my desk. I don't fail to notice how the suit he is wearing fits his body in all the right ways. I shake myself out of those thoughts needing to stay focused. Andrew shall we get started. "After your done checking me out". Don't flatter yourself just thought your suit was a little worn I throw back but he's not buying it. I sit and we begin to talk about our grandmothers and how we would like to invest the money. As much as I hate to say it he does have some really solid investments. We talk for about an hour and outside a couple attempts to get under my skin I was pretty impressed by him, in a business way of course. After the meeting was over I walk him to the door and get back to work.
Andrew POV
When I arrived at the Kennedy Building I can't say I wasn't impressed. I went to the reception area to let them know I was there for a meeting with Gianna. None of them flirted and were very professional. After she confirmed my appointment she directed me to the elevators and to the top floor. When the elevator opened I was met with another reception area. A very pretty girl, not as pretty as Gianna, was seated behind the desk. I went to open my mouth but she cut me off. "I am Brenda Miss Kennedy personal assistant and she is expecting you. Give me one moment to announce you and you can go in". I waited a moment and she returned and escorted me to Gianna office. It was a very welcoming space with not a lot of clutter. It fit her perfectly. I walked in and took a seat in front of her desk with my typical smile and she was checking me out. She tried to deny it but I know when someone is checking me out. I can definitely say I was looking at her she was wearing a dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. It takes all my will power not to say it out loud. After we talk about our grandmothers wishes we decide how the investments will be made. To say I'm impressed would be an understatement. She is an investment genius even though I would never say that to her. I managed to get under her skin a couple times if her look was any indication but she didn't bite once. The meeting went far better than I expected and I was actually looking forward to getting her on my turf. She walked me out and I took a good long look a her gorgeous a** before we got to the door. I was glad I was leaving I wouldn't want her to see what her body just did to me.
