"Sir you have a meeting with Mr Henry Cavill at two and this are the documents you need to review and sign"Simone says as she places the documents on Leo's desk. "Those are the only activities you have on,you say is pretty much clear sir."
Leo take the documents without looking up and looks at the front page of them. "What do you think about this document s I'm about to sign"Leo asks pen hovering on top of the place his signature is needed.
"Sir I don't understand much about architecture and all that but..." Leo lifts his head up but his face doesn't show any emotion "but what?"
"The client wanted a residential building and from the blue prints and sketches I've seen from our architectural team, they are simple and very cost efficient,they therefore align with the clients requirements"
He nods as he signs" True and what about the next meeting with Mr Henry,what do you say about that?"
"Well from what I've gathered from him is that he's more into glam public opinion and fame which makes him a tough client in regards to wanting perfection and since he needs us to redesign his mansion the interior designers might face a lot of challenges in regards to changing ideas and not being satisfied by the work "
"So what do you suggest we do " Leo asks looking very much serious and into the conversation.
"Best thing to do is to bound him by a well structured contract so that at the end we don't occur losses "
Leo looks at her with what she would call respect but only for a few seconds before he masks it off with nonchalance. It's as if he's even stingy with his praise,what an uptight man.
"You're not that much of a waste to keep after all." Leo comments. The nerve of this guy, Simone thinks as she tries her best to hold her tounge.
"Did Henry say where the meeting will take place?"Leo asks with that air of superioty she hates but she's still reeling from his comment earlier so she grits her teeth before answering " Yes, he said he'll pass by here". He nods.Simone turns to leave eager to go back to her little desk just outside his office,she had placed it herself. Leo Graham clearly didn't have a personal assistant before her. But as she turns the door knob, Leo's voice stops her "make sure you wait for Mr Henry by the entrance "
This time she protests" But surely sir ,he must know he's way around, why do I have to wait for him"like a watch dog,she adds in her mind and cringes at the image. Leo glowers at her like he's not used to being defied and he probably hasn't been in recent years, cocky bastard."Miss Simone, your job is to do as you're told,not ask questions ". She almost tries to complain but sees the sullen face he's giving her and how intense his eyes are under the glasses he's wearing and walks out of his office. Wait at the entrance? she'd rather die. She'll just wait by the receptionist desk and wait for him while talking to Joan a bit. But she was really eager to see the email she had received from an online friend of hers,a fellow hacker who had been helping her find more information about this David Schneider guy but now she has to postpone the most important thing in her life.
"So what do I own the pleasure"Joan asks."Aww don't be modest, I'm waiting for Mr Henry so I can show him up".Joan rolls her eyes at the name.
"What's with the face?"." I don't know what you're talking about"." You're face changed when I said Henry Cavill". She does the same thing with her face like she just ate something disgusting "there you go again". "Fine, I just don't like the guy. He's a flirt and a playboy plus he's rich and he's a spoilt brat".
"Ahh, the worst combinations. But what do you expect from a rich guy who has probably had it easy?".
"Well President Leo also had an easy life but you don't see him acting all spoilt".
"You have a crush on him"Simone says as a statement. Joan turns red "of course I do, he's the most handsome man I've seen with his blue eyes and he has this mysterious nature about him and he's rich. That's a whole package if you ask me" Joan describes him in admiration but Simone can't help but scoff. Joan looks at her personally offended as if Simone had just made a joke of her life"why the scoff".
Simone realizes she's treading on thin ice chooses her words carefully since she doesn't know how strong of a crush Joan has. "He might be good looking but he's not the most handsome,"she had seen many handsome men and took her ,her brothers were the top of the rank.
"That's because you haven't seen his eyes,they are the rarest shade of blue I've ever seen. They just draw you in" Joan explains excitedly but before Simone can disagree, Mr Henry and he's entourage arrive. Joan scoff softly"what a show off "she says with unhidden disdain in her tone. Simone glares at her playfully before going to receive them. No one seems shocked,they are probably used to big names showing up at the firm,that or they are good at being professional. Mr Henry Cavill,son of Thomas Cavill a multi millionaire. He isn't that old probably in his early thirties or late twenties. He looks like the type of kid who doesn't know what to do with all the money he has. Simone greet them and leads them to Leo's office. Well only three of them,Henry,a guy who seems like his Secretary but she's not sure and his girlfriend who has been staring daggers at Simone from the very start. Good thing she isn't easily intimidated.They make small conversation as they go but it's mostly Henry talking.
"It's the first time Leo sent someone to receive me and a very gorgeous lady at that"he says with a very rich voice and surprisingly Simone finds him easier to talk to than Leo. She just smiles.
"You see it's the first time he's ever gotten a PA, he always liked to be independent.". The woman makes a snarky reply about how Simone may have slept with him,when did people get so bold. Henry glares at her and she cowers with fear.
"Forgive her, she sometimes speaks before thinking"
"It's okay, you talk about president Leo so casually, are you like friends"
Henry smirks before answering "you could say that,"and that confuses Simone but she doesn't have time to dwell on that as they get to Leo's office.
