Chapter 17

I turn around to see Nash dressed to the nine in a dark grey Westwood suit, standing behind me, anger clearly written in her face, you never saw this look on Nash before, it was something different, possessive and almost murderous. Kim on the other hand, was clearly shocked, and with a hint of sadness.

" What the hell are you still doing here?" Nash snarled, looking between her sister and Richard, referring to both of them, I didn't heard what Richard said to Nash, but certainly it was something that Nash didn't like, causing Richard to have the full attention now. " I told you to leave London"

" I'm here to talk to Merida, not any of you two, so if you excuse me" Richard attempted to squeeze between the two women, only for the both of them to stop him, their hands blocking his past, Richard's features showed that he was hoping they would do something.

"OK, enough!" I scream, my once calm and demeanor finally disappeared. All three turned         "Good, I have your attention now,  Richard, I will say this only one more time, get away from me, leave me alone, and stop tray to talk to me! I ain't gonna talk to you, and also I'm getting a restraining order against you!" I said pointing to Richard. " Now, please Kim can you make sure that he leaves the building, and that the security knows that he is no welcome here?"

I turned on my heels, not wanting to look at any of them, making my way to the elevator "Nash, aren't you coming?" I said while stepping in the elevator.

When Nash entered the elevator, she was not well greeted, a slap was felt on her face, as my lips turned down in a scowl. Nash expression was shocked.

"Darling, what was that for?" Nash spoke, her hand reaching up for you, while the other reached for the side of her face that you had slapped, I huffed in annoyance " Darling, you will have to talk to me."

"Oh i will be talking to you alright, only as your assistant and nothing more" I snapped, not looking at her.

"Are you mad because of Kim?" Nash raised her eyebrow

" No, I am mad at you Miss Evans" I scoffed, throwing my hands down in frustration, hitting the wall hard making me wince a small bit at the sudden pain.

"What did I do??" Nash stressed, not moving away from in front of me, gently grabbing at my hand to sooth them.

"Nash, all you did was make the situation worse, your sister had it handle, sure she was not the ideal rescue, due to the fact she also cheated on me, and I was ignoring her, but maybe it would have worked." I glanced over at the woman " And you, jus told your sister that we were dating, and well it will be weird now, and also you came in charged in guns, I mean it would be a lot worse, why do you even pay me if you never listen to me?"

"That's why I have lawyers" Nash shrugged with a bit of a smug smile

"Really Nash! This is all fun and games for you, do you know how hard I work to keep your reputation squeaky clean? Do you? Or how many women I had to make sure they kept their mouth shut, it's not your lawyers Nash, it's me, always has." I scolded brushing past her.

It took a moment for her to regain composure after a small tongue lashing from you, She didn't know what I did, just that I brought her the tea, dry cleaning and kept her on time for her appointment.

Shutting the passenger side door of her black Range Rover before she even made it there. 

Nash thought about speaking but decided against it, she didn't want to anger Merida further, It didn't help that she, herself was a bit pissed of.

The night seemed to drag on for  Nash, at the same time, it looked like Merida was made for this, in a way she was making this part of a job, when Nash would find some pretty little thing and whined up disappearing most likely playing hide the zucchini for the rest of the night, leaving Merida to defend herself against the wolves of the CEO world.

She watched Merida take another drink from another male, Merida giggled at something he had said.

"I'm going to throttle that girl, this is her sixth bloody drink" Nash growled in announce. Not realizing she was still amongst older CEO, talking about god knows what, which at some point she had lost interest in the conversation when she finally spotted Merida flirting with yet another young boy. Most likely a trust fund baby.

"What was that Nash?" one of the man asked, elbowing Nash in the side. Her eyes were followed to where she was looking, almost burning a hole through the kid that was trying to take Meria to bed. Nash quickly snapped her attention back to the group of old men.

"Nothing, Anyways the stocks are low.." Nash changes the  topic of the conversation, not wanting any more attention to fall on you. Her eyes would dart towards Merida every few moments like a hawk watching its pray, she was not going to let Merida out of her sight even if she was still mad with her.

When Merida walked into the room, she grabbed the first crystal glass resting on top of an oversized silver tray that walked past. Merida was weaving in and out of the crowd as she found the main bar to order  herself something a bit stronger than the crap they had going around the room. A group of CEOs had stopped Nash in her pursuit, they gave Merida te chances to relax a bit while she waited at the bar.

"Bartender, her drink is on me" the man called out from behind Merida

"No, Bartender, her drink is on her" Merida grumbled, glaring daggers at the bartender before she turned to look at the man, he was young, rather muscular deftly worked on his looks while not worrying about the real world. Short in stature but quite good looking, otherwise as good looking as Nash.

"My apologies, Miss..?" he brought out his hands towards her

"Mills and you are ?" She put her hand on his , which golfed hers.

"Vlad II, it's a pleasure to meet the only lovely thing in this room" He smiled as he brought Merida's hand to his lips, bowing slightly, placing a kiss upon her knuckles.

"Ah, Vlad II, as In the prince of Wallachia? Wow charmed to meet you, your majesty" she took her hand out of his grip.

"So you heard of me?" he purred

"I have indeed, what does a prince like you is doing in a meeting of CEO?

"Business" he answered

Merida got in a really good conversation with Vlad, only to Nash to watch from afar how the two were doing, they were really close to Nash liking, and she was starting to boil, but couldn't make a scene.
