Only You

chapter 10

"Grace what's wrong?" He asked carefully.

"I... I had a meeting to attend at 11:30 with Mr Knight." I panicked again, even shivered a little.

"It's ok Grace. I'm sure he'll understand.." Stephen started but beat him to it.

"No he won't understand. He had to sign off the deal with Mr. Steve today and I'm not there! Fuck, I have all the documents and the contract in my cabin. Shit shit shit!" Stephen advanced towards me and gripped my shoulders.

"Stop! Calm down! Breathe," I took a deep breath as he instructed me.

"I'll take you to the office now. It will only take us ten minutes." I nodded furiously at his offer and we made our way towards the exit.

Throughout the ride I was shouting at him to drive fast. As soon as we reached there, I quickly hoped out of the car while Stephen was stuck to my side helping me in the office because I was still feeling slightly dizzy. Getting in the building, I dashed towards the elevator and punched in the button for the top floor. Bitting my lips and tapping my foot impatiently against the surface of the elevator, wishing for it to just teleport me to the meeting room.

The elevator finally dinged and I ran out of it to my cabin. Collecting all the documents in a haste, I took off for the meeting room.

I entered without even knocking to see Mr Steve already present along with his assistant. Mr Knight gave me a very hard glare and Stella stood at a distance from him, giving me a sympathetic smile. She excused herself and left me alone to deal with the situation. With a very heavy heart I started moving towards the table when Mr Knight's words stopped me in my tracks.

"So you finally decided to show up?"

"Mr Knight I..." I tried explaining but that man wasn't going to have any of that.

"I don't need your excuses at this point. Just shut up." Ok now that was very rude. Especially in front of people. I looked down not being able to meet his gaze as I tried to calm my now thudding heart. "I'll deal with you after this meeting is done. For now just bring me the contract." His face was void of any emotion but his voice was still strict.

With shaky hands, I handed him the contract. He read it once before asking me to hand it over to Mr Steve.
I did as I was told, and starting proceeding towards Mr Steve. He was sitting opposite to Mr Knight, beside his assistant. I handed him the contract as he gave me an evil smirk. I frowned at his expression before he took the contract from my hands.

He turned his face to look at the document. Flickering his eyes over the papers, he played with the pen in his hand. At the same time Mr Knight was attending to an important message I'm guessing. While playing with the pen, Mr Steve accidentally dropped it.

"Oops sorry!" He didn't sound sorry at all. I looked at the ground where his pen was lying before giving him a glare. Bending down, I picked up the pen that was lying near his feet. Clutching it, I handed it back to him.

"Thank you," he smirked. What is with him smirking so much. I waited until he signed the papers and handed them to me so I could give them to Mr. Knight for his signatures. As I was making my way to Mr.Knight, my eyes feel upon the heading of the paper on which I halted in my steps. I read further only to be left flabbergasted.

The papers I was holding in my hands had nothing relating to the deal. Instead it stated that Mr.Knight was signing of his whole company to Mr.Steve, that too willingly? I whipped my head in Mr. Steve's direction only to see a casual grin on his face, and his assistant gave me a smirk. Those bastards! They did it again. It was like switching papers was in their blood! Heck they even made sure to have everything in same format as the original document.
