Fifty Shades Of A Working Girl

Chapter 9

Christian Pov

How am I going to explain all this? I said, "Father. Mother. I think we should finish eating first and move to the living room. Trust me you don't want to hear it while eating." I sat back down with Anastasia. I can't tell them about  having sex with Elena. I'll have to say she thinks she's entitled, for getting me to stop drinking and misbehaving as a teenage child.

Mia said curiously, "Christian, you let Ana touch you. Why is that?"

I honestly said, "I am not sure. For some reason it hasn't hurt since the moment I met her."

Grace put her hand to her cheek and said, "She is healing you." I believe she may be right too. She is a beautiful angel. I look over at her and smile, while reaching out to put a piece of hair out of her face and put it behind her ear. She blushes so prettily. What on earth is she doing to me?

When we finish eating, we move to the living room and take a seat. I say, "Elena has been throwing in my face, that she saved me from drinking and misbehaving on a constant basis. She claims that she made me who I am and it entitles her to use me for basically everything. She gave me the start-up money for my business and I gave her back one million dollars for her $100,000 investment, to help her back when she was just divorced from Linc. It wasn't enough, she wanted me to financially back her when she started her salon and then expanded to three now. It wasn't enough, she uses my name to eat for free all over town and charges $1,000  bottles of wine to my account. It wasn't enough, she begged me for that 2010 BMW M3 black car six months ago. She said I buy cars for my family and she is considered family, so I should get her a car too. She wore me down and I did it to shut her up."

Carrick said, "How does Ana fit into this now?" 

I sincerely said, "I don't know. I can't figure out why she is targeting her. I asked Anastasia to go out to dinner with me at the Mile High Club. Elena showed up and that's when it started. She started talking down to her condescendingly. I tried to get her to back off telling her that she was my new CFO and she started on her again. She started telling me that I shouldn't hire inexperienced people. I blew up and told her that she has no say in who I can hire in my company. She then started spewing how she made me who I am. Then Anastasia tells her that she has two masters degrees and is very qualified to do the job as an executive. Anastasia got mad and told her come Monday, she better worry that she has her business finances in order. She also said she was canceling her appointment at her salon and going to The Four Seasons instead. I laughed. I told Elena that if she didn't remove herself from my restaurant in the next two minutes, I would have her removed. She left spewing that I would regret this."

"The next day, she showed up trying to attack Anastasia coming out of The Four Seasons, after her spa appointment. She tried to hit her with a crowbar. Can you believe it, a fucking crowbar?! Then again with her hand after she released her the first time. I saw her attack her on the CCTV as they were out front and it is on my phone. The guard came up to Anastasia and gave her a copy of the entire confrontation on a thumb drive. She gave it to me to hold on to for her."

Anastasia said, "She kept going on and on about me being a gold digging whore and using Christian to get his money and job. It's all there. I used my Krav Maga teachings and took her down with her pressure points, in her thumb to disarm her and then in her wrist."

Carrick said, "Do you want to press charges against her?" Anastasia shook my head, no.

She said, "No, but a restraining order might be handy."

Carrick said, "I can have one drawn up Monday and come by to get your signature at GEH?"

She asked surprised, "You would do that for me?"
