"The shit on the bottom of my shoe is smarter than him,"
3rd Person POV:
"Hey Sienna, I'm at reception," Hazel said into her phone that she held in her manicured left hand, her other holding the hanger that was concealed in the plastic covering that shielded Justin's freshly dry cleaned suit jacket.
"Shit, I totally forgot." Sienna panicked running a hand through her beachy waves as she balanced the phone between her shoulder and ear, "Um, uh would you be able to come up and give it to Justin himself because I'm just about to go into a meeting?" Sienna asked and Hazel contemplated it before slowly agreeing in her head.
"Uh yeah I guess, how do I get up to where you guys are?" Hazel asked just as Sienna looked up from her desk to see her husband tapping his watch as a motive for her to hurry up.
"Just tell Trish that you're coming to see Justin, I'm going to quickly tell her that you know us and she'll let you up, she's the receptionist." Sienna explained and Hazel mumbled a small okay before hanging up.
Waiting a few seconds, she walked up to Trish who looked up once a small shadow covered her desk. "Hazel right?" Trish asked with a smile and Hazel nodded retuning with one.
"Okay, you need to go down the corridor and once you get to the lifts take the one right at the end on the right. That one goes straight up to Mr Bieber's floor." She said with a smile and Hazel repeated the instructions in her head before nodding.
"Thank you," Hazel said and Trish smiled warmly at her, Hazel draped the plastic casing that contained the suit jacket over her arm before walking down the corridor as instructed.
"Last one on the right," Hazel mumbled to herself before walking straight down the marble floor and to the very end, it was only then when she actually realised how different both Bieber Enterprises and Eagle Inc were.
With Trent's business, there were always late appointments and on top of that you had to deal with rude and impatient staff however with Bieber Enterprises it seemed like she was in a totally different universe. Every person she passed that worked here had given her a smile and the atmosphere in the building gave her a sense that every client actually had their appointments at the given time.
Smiling to herself she pressed the up button next to the given lift seeing the small arrow glow green. After a few seconds the silver doors opened and she stepped in, looking around the small space for buttons but found none. The doors slid shut and Hazel panicked a little but then realised Trish had told her that the lift went straight up to Justin's office so that's probably why there was no need for buttons.
Leaning against the wall of the lift she waited patiently before the lift dinged open, the people who were also working on the floor turned to the ding of the lift and Hazel's eyes scanned over the place trying to get rid of the awkwardness that was slowly building with everyone staring at her.
"Does anyone know where Just - Mr Bieber's office is?" She said, correcting herself for saying Justin because they all probably knew him better as Mr Bieber.
"If you walk down there and straight to the end hun," A women said, she was in her late forties and the warm smile that she sent in Hazel's direction got rid of the awkwardness that was slowly starting to creep up on her.
She thanked her quietly before walking past the 15 oogling eyes, women glaring at her in envy and men drinking her image in appreciatively. Feeling a little uncomfortable by their actions she speeded up her walking slightly before walking straight down.
Now walking at a steady pace since she'd gotten away from the group of googly eyes, she scanned her eyes over the doors reading in her mind the names of the people and the jobs they fulfilled.
Ms S Banks - Chief of Marketing
Mr J Banks - Chief Operations Officer
Smiling at the titles Sienna and Jacob had, Hazel walked past two more doors, the first one on the left had Mr J Croft - Chief Administrative Officer engraved on the plaque sitting on the door and on the door opposite Ms B Heart- Chief Financial Officer was engraved.
Walking past those doors her heels clicked against the marble floor that seemed to be a trend in the Bieber Enterprises Building.
Justin's ears picked up the sound and he looked up from his desk, his eyes fixating on the door as if he was waiting for something.
Finally coming up to the door right in the middle of the end wall, Mr J Bieber - Chief Executive Officer was engraved in the silver plaque.
Bringing up her free hand she knocked with three taps before waiting for a response, Justin got up since having a sound proof office anybody who was outside wouldn't be able to hear him.
Fixing his tie he opened the door expecting one of his staff coming to tell him something but instead he was met with Hazel's face.
"Hazel?" Justin asked and she smiled up at him.
"I have your jacket," She said holding up the plastic casing and Justin couldn't help but smile at her.
Guess they were going to meet again after all.
He held the door open for her and stepped to the side as a gesture for her to come in, "Thank you," She said quietly before walking to the middle of the spacious office.
Her eyes scanned over the workspace; on the whole of the right wall there were several shelves. There were probably 5 columns of 6 that were neatly stacked with books and files.
On the back wall which was the first wall that you would see was a pristine shade of white. A split canvas of the New York City Bridge in black and white was the only thing obstructing the crisp white wall yet it brought a sense of class to the space.
Turning her eyes to the left side, the whole wall was made of glass and gave an amazing view of the business side of New York, sky scrapers was one of the many things that adorned the fantastic view.
But as Hazel enjoyed the view of New York, Justin was enjoying the view of her.
His eyes scanned appreciatively down her legs before they bounced back up and fixated on her ass, her skinny jeans were adorned with red heels and Justin couldn't help but feel a little flustered just by looking at her.
A woman who was confident in heels was a thing for him.
"You have an amazing view," Hazel said to him turning around giving him just the right amount of time to bring his eyes up to her level.
Yes I do, he thought to himself.
"Perks of being the boss," He said and she smiled before placing the plastic suit casing over the two chairs that were placed in front of Justin's desk.
As he closed the door, she walked up to the edge of where the wall was glass and continued to admire the view.
"My penthouse has the exact same view," She said to him turning her head to him momentarily seeing him sit in his black swivel chair.
"Where do you live?" He asked her and she spoke up with a teasing tone.
"Want to stalk me?" She said cocking an eyebrow and Justin chuckled.
"Maybe, I do need a hobby," He teased and she smiled over all the buildings before her eyes caught something.
"Is that...Trent?" She asked and Justin hummed, "What the hell is he doing?" She said making her hands into circles as if they were going to help her see as she placed them against the glass looking at the building parallel to the one she was in.
Justin laughed at her as she tried peering through her hands, "Wait, can he see us because I just realised that I probably look like an idiot," She said to him.
"No, the glass is tinted Hazel," He said to her.
"Have you ever seen him do something in there that's really disgusting?" Hazel asked still looking through the glass trying to get a better view of what he was doing.
"I've seen him do Natalia against the wall which was torture for my eyes," Justin said and a gasp left Hazel's mouth.
"Seriously, when?" She asked and Justin thought about it.
"Like a month ago or something," He said and Hazel mentally ran over Trent with a lorry.
"Fucker," She said and he looked at her confused.
"Wait, where you two like together, together?" He asked and she nodded making him stay quiet for a while before he spoke up again.
"What the hell did you see in him?" He asked and Hazel responded.
"Could ask you the same about Natalia," She said finally sitting down after she realised that even squinting wasn't going to make her see.
"Touché Lopez," He said to her and she smiled in his direction, her thoughts wondering off and as she started to day dream a question that she needed an answer to popped up.
"Why do you and Trent hate each other?" She asked crossing her right leg over her left as she looked at him.
"Just business rivalry," He said simply to her and she nodded silently, a part of her wanting to believe the blunt reason and another part wanted to prod the information out of him.
"But your business is thriving unlike his, I don't even get why he's trying." She said.
"I'm flattered," Justin said with a hand over his heart at the compliment of his business making Hazel giggle. "And I also agree with you, he's an attention whore like the piece of shit that hangs off his arm," He said referring to Natalia which only made Hazel speak up.
"That piece of shit used to hang off your arm," She teased and he shot back with the same tone.
"Says the one who was hanging off the arm of the attention whore," He said to her and she couldn't help but laugh at his comeback.
"Touché Bieber," She mimicked and he chuckled at her as they got into light conversation.
20 minutes later as they began to talk about Natalia and her ways a knock was sounded at the door, Justin got up and walked to the door before opening it.
"Hey, did Hazel come and give you your jacket?" Sienna asked and before Justin could speak up Hazel responded.
"Yeah, I did," Hazel said from behind Justin and Sienna couldn't help but let a smirk spread on her face.
"Hazel," Sienna said grinning at Justin as she leaned under his arm as he was trying to obstruct the view of Hazel but that had obviously failed.
"What were you guys doing?" Sienna asked as Justin closed the door to his office walking past both ladies that were occupying the seats.
"We were bitching," Hazel said and Sienna gasped pretending to be hurt.
"Without me?" She asked and Hazel smirked nodding.
"Couldn't bitch with you if it was about you," Hazel teased and Sienna rolled her eyes making Justin laugh lightly.
Engaging in another full out cussing/bitching conversation about Natalia and Trent the subject soon changed to the revenge that Hazel wanted to plot.
"So what were you planning?" Sienna asked getting comfortable in the chair she sat on as she faced Hazel.
"Have no idea, he's an asshole and has been one to me for the past 4-5 months so maybe something big," Hazel explained and Sienna spoke up.
"Yes, the bigger the better," She said not realising the sexual innuendo as Jacob entered Justin's office.
"That's definitely what you said last night," He said with a small smirk and Sienna glared at him making Justin and Hazel laugh at them.
"Ignoring my ass of a husband," Sienna said smiling sweetly at Jacob before looking back at Hazel, "You have to come up with a plan for revenge soon before they end up doing some other stupid shit," She said and Hazel nodding knowing she was right.
"I could make him jealous," She proposed, "But that's too babyish," She said quickly after.
"You could pretend that you have the honour's list from here," Justin said and Hazel looked at him, "Whilst you get revenge in watching him think that he's successful, the business will go down and that'll be a win for me." Justin said.
The honour's list was the business's that Justin had in cooperated into his own. Bieber Enterprises was a very well-known company and their role was taking in small companies and making them bigger and better, thus a profit for the smaller business and Justin's business.
"That could work but how the hell do I make him buy the whole thing," Hazel said to him.
"Buy it as in make him believe that it's the legitimate honours list?" Justin asked and Hazel hummed and Sienna spoke up.
"You two," She started averting her eyes towards Justin and Hazel before she continued, "Could pretend to be together and you should do it for a couple weeks so it seems more believable and then in a place where he is, you two should have a big fight and Justin cusses you out or something then the next time Hazel sees him, she should give the list to him then. That way it seems as if she gave it to him because she wants to get back at Justin for being an ass." Sienna finished and Jacob spoke up.
"How the hell do you come up with these crazy ideas?" Jacob asked his wife and she shrugged innocently giving him a sweet grin making Justin smile.
"It could work," Hazel spoke up and Sienna turned to her and so did Justin, "But what happens if he realises that it's not the right honours list?" She asked.
"The shit on the bottom of my shoe is smarter than him; he won't check the list properly." Justin said and Hazel let out a small laugh at his words mentally agreeing with him.
"Well then, are you guys going to do it?" Jacob asked them both and they turned to each other.
"I don't mind doing it," Hazel said, "If it gives me a plan for revenge and helps you out as well," She paused looking at Justin.
"Then I say why not?" She said to him with a small shrug and as she thought innocently of it, Justin was having other thoughts however not wanting to make it awkward he nodded along.
"Let's do it."
>3 Days Later<
Hazel's POV:
"Can you just leave me alone?" I asked Trent as he stood on the other side of my apartment door with a bouquet of Lily's trying to pathetically win me back even after all the shit that had happened.
"Nope, so let me in," He said bluntly and I looked at him through the peep hole with squinted eyes.
"I'm not going to let you in," I said to him and he let out a frustrated sigh before looking up and into the peep hole straight at me.
"Princess, I'm sorry," He said with a pout and I growled.
You will be sorry after calling me princess.
"Go away," I demanded before flicking the main lock from the inside and walking away from the door.
I ran a hand through my open hair before taking my glasses that were hanging loosely off my oversized t shirt and placing them on the bridge of my nose.
"Right," I said to myself taking a deep breath and walking over to my bedroom and to my desk.
I was currently looking for jobs and the results were very frustrating.
Even with all my experience and working at Eagle Inc, I still wasn't able to get an interview which was stressing me out.
I bet Trent made me look bad.
I wasn't the type of person to sit at home and do nothing; I needed to be up on my feet doing something.
And right now, with the way things were going job wise I needed to go somewhere.
Anywhere.
Placing a pair of skinny jeans and converse on, I tucked my oversized t shirt into the hem of my jeans before taking my leather jacket off the chair and grabbing my phone.
I fluffed up my hair in the mirror even though I intended to place my beanie on top before swiping some mascara through my lashes, spraying some perfume on my neck and hair and wrapping my scarf around my neck.
I slipped my arms into my leather jacket and took my bag off the bed and chucked all the essentials into my bag.
Phone, charger, gum, keys, perfume, earphones and money.
"Bye baby," I cooed to Blue kneeling down and kissing his head, he whined and I pouted.
"I'll be back soon, I promise," I said to him and he barked making me smile.
I fluffed the fur around his ears before standing up and resting my bag on my shoulder. I walked over to the door and unlocked it before pulling it open only to see the bouquet of flowers that Trent had bought for me in shreds on the floor.
I sighed irritably before closing the door behind me and walking down the corridor and to the lifts. Pressing the arrow to go down, it glowed green and after a few seconds the silver doors opened.
I stepped in and pressed the ground floor button before leaning against the wall as the doors closed shut.
As the lift began to move, my thoughts flew back to what happened 3 days ago.
I wonder if this whole thing is going to work.
I mean, Trent might figure it out and if he does then I'm screwed as well as Justin.
Talking of Justin....
If we have to act like a couple does that mean we have to kiss?
I mean I know it's a stupid question but to be honest I don't even know the guy and I've made some sort of agreement with him, which will probably have an emphasis on PDA?
What the hell is wrong with me sometimes?
Maybe I'll talk to Sienna; she'll probably fill me in with all the details of Justin....
The loud ding of the lift brought me out of my train of thought and I let out a breath stepping out and into the foyer.
I walked through and smiled at people who were coming in before pushing open the door.
The cold thick wind of New York smacked me right in the face and I shivered tightening the scarf around my neck.
I took my phone out of my bag and as if right on cue, Justin's name flashed on the screen.
I slid my finger over the accept button and placed the phone up to my ear.
"Hazel?" He asked and I hummed quietly.
"Hi," I said realising that I should've put more layers on, however not in the mood to go all the way back up to get something to wear I began to walk.
I didn't know where I was walking, or where I was going so my plan was just to go with it.
"What are you doing tonight?" He asked me straight up and my mind went blank at the question.
"Hazel...?" He trailed off and I blinked before responding.
"Uh..probably nothing....why?" I asked curiously as I focused on his voice, ignoring the noise pollution that the streets of New York was providing.
"I was going to ask if you wanted to go out to dinner." He asked me quietly and I got out an uhh making him speak up again. "I mean, if we want to act like a couple to fool Trent we need to have foundations," He said, his confidence rising with every single word. "We need to get to know each other and I thought the perfect way was to do it over dinner," He proposed and I chewed on my lip thinking about it.
Well I was complaining about how I knew nothing about him.
....
Hmm, should I?
....
Ugh, fuck it.
"Sure," I said, giving him a straight up answer like he'd asked the question.
"Okay, if you send me your address I can come pick you up," He said and I smiled at the gentleman gesture.
"I'll send it to you in a bit," I said to him.
"I'll pick you up at 7-ish," He said and I spoke up.
"See you then," I said to him and he spoke up a bye before I hung up the phone.
Dinner with Mr Sex on Legs.
Don't mind if I do.
