Business First

Chapter 13

The rest of the day was wasted on binge watching Netflix and eating cheap Chinese takeaway. I got dressed into fluffy pyjamas to keep warm, it was the middle of October so it was viciously windy outside.

I curled into my warm bed and let the darkness embrace me. My eyes closed and I welcomed sleep, escaping my hectic day.

Until my phone began to ring...

"What now," I asked my self as I moved from my comfortable position and answered my phone.

"Hello Lia," a familiar voice answered.

"Xavier do you know what the time even is!!" I yell into the phone.

"It's 2," he answers.

"Yeah, in the fucking morning."

"My bad," he mutters.

"What do you want?" I ask, desperately wanting to sleep.

"I forgot some documents at the office I need you to get them to me, in Miami" he says urgently.

"Oh my god, I can't believe it the amazing Xavier King forgot something!" I say sarcastically, and I can literally hear him roll his eyes through the phone.

"I need them sent ASAP." He says.

"Yeah, I'll head to the office tomorrow and have them sent through the post office."

"No this is confidential information about our wedding, you're going to have to fly here, I can't trust anyone else with it." He explains.

"Ugh, okay let me book a flight." I say.

"No need, Monday morning at 10am a car will come pick you and my jet will bring you here, and pack some nice clothes- my mother wants to see you." He says and hangs up like phone.

I call him back.

No answer.

I call him again.

No answer.

I call him again.

"What do you want?" His tone is annoyed, the little devil in me is happy I pissed him off.

"How long am I staying for?" I ask politely.

"We'll be there for a week."

"You better not cut my pay." I say sternly.

"You're about to marry a multi-billionaire babe, don't worry about your pay." He scoffs "I'll see you Monday afternoon." And he hangs up.

I huff, put my phone back on charge and fall back into my bed. I close my eyes as sleep embraced me.

The next morning I get up early so I have time to pick up he papers from the office. I don't care how i look, just wearing a jacket over black pyjamas and leaving the house.

When I arrive at the office, it's mostly empty apart from a few people in isolated office cubicles. I take the lift to Xavier's office and collect the papers from his desk.

I quickly drive back home and begin to pack. I pack mostly causal clothes, but also a few formal pieces and a couple dresses. I even throw in a bikini just in case.

By the time I'm done packing Jasmine has woken up.

"What you packing for?" She asks, seeing my bag.

"Xavier's flying me to Miami to meet his mother." I groan.

"Ooh," she raises her eyebrows flirtatiously. "Honeymoon before the wedding,"

I just roll my eyes as I finish zipping up my suitcase. I decide to get ready to travelling. I wash my face and apply moisturiser before wearing sweats and an oversized hoodie with comfortable sneakers.

We both sat down for breakfast and just had cereal and juice. We took it to the living room and watched tv whilst eating.

"How long will you be in Miami?" Jasmine asked.

"About a week," I replied, sipping my juice. Before I could say anything else the doorbell rang. I opened the door to see a tall man in a black suit.

"Amelia Davis?" He asked. I nodded. "Mr King has asked me to pick you up and take you to the airport."

"Just give me a second I'll bring my luggage." Is say, all he does is nod, emotionlessly.

I bring my luggage and place it by the main door. I go to Jasmine and give her a hug. "I'm gonna miss you Jazz." I sigh.

"So will I babygirl." She hugs my tightly. After a few seconds we let go and I head off. The guy that came took my bag to the car.

I placed my headphones in my ears and let the music play. I looked out the window, pretending to be sad when a slow song played.

About 1 hour later I had arrived at the airport. I took my jacket out of my suitcase as it had suddenly decided to rain.

Another tall buff guy in a black suit and escorted me to the jet. As soon as I stepped in, and involuntary gasp left my mouth. The jet was so fancy.

Velvet carpet lined the floor and there were 4 luxurious leather recliner chairs in the middle of the jet.

I say down in one of the recliners, pulling out the leg rest as someone put my luggage away for me.

"Hot towel?" an air hostess asked me, I nodded and took one to wipe my face and hands.

This was gonna be great.
