Chapter Forty

The sunbeams in my face, waking me up from a slumber that I wish I still was in. I turn away from the sunlight to find my arch-nemesis, Dragan Jr. She was standing there with a cup, which I know is blood.

"Ms. Adams it is time to wake up," she said handing me the cup of blood.

"What time is it?"

"7:30a.m."

"It`s early as hell. What is my purpose for waking?"

"Mr. Walters wants you at his office by 9:30a.m."

"Are you serious?" I looked at her confused. I never stepped forth in Dragan`s company in my entire existence, but now he wants me there. I don't like this at all.

"Hurry up, your clothes are already sitting out. Get ready," she orders while leaving.

"Well good morning to you too Susanne," I sarcastically said. I get out of the bed after finishing my cup. I washed up and put on the clothes she had set out for me. It was a dark blue pencil skirt with a white truffle shirt and matching heels. Susanne came back in and put my hair into a bun. I put on light make-up and earrings along with my necklace. Susanne looked at her watch, "we are making good time."

The time was now 8:30a.m. and his office was forty-five minutes away. Susanne handed me a purse and I guessed it is supposed to be mine. We made our way to Dragan`s office. Susanne opened the door for me when we arrived. I turned around when I noticed she was not following me as I was walking to the door.

"You`re not coming?"

"No ma`am."

"Why?"

"I am not allowed to enter, and I have other things to attend to. If you need me just give me a call. Your phone is in your purse." She was gone, leaving me at the front entrance.

When I entered the building, I made my way to the receptionists that sat in the middle of the building on the first level.

"How may I help you?" she asked as she noticed I felt out of place.

"I am looking for Mr. Drake."

"Drake who?"

"Drake Walters."

"In regards of?"

"I am not sure, he just told me to meet him here."

"Ok and your name?"

"Anastasia."

"Anastasia what?"

"Anastasia Adams," I noticed her toner seemed annoyed and it pissed me off.

"Hold on," she said picking up the phone.

After she got off the phone, her tone completely changed. It was like she was a whole new person. "Ma`am I am sorry for the inconvenience. Mr. Walters is on the fifteenth floor. If you go down this hall, you will come to the elevators. Take them up to the floor and go to the right and four doors down you will come to the conference room and that is where he is at. Is there anything else I may help you with?"

"No thank you." I followed her directions and came across the conference room. Dragan caught sight of me through the glass and got up to let me in. He gave me his seat and gone back to the meeting. I was unsure what he was talking about, I just know it was numbers. He stopped once he noticed that everyone kept getting distracted with staring at me.

"Well I see that everyone is trying to figure out who this lovely woman is sitting in my chair, since you cannot pay attention to what I am saying."

The room was silent, and I noticed some held their heads down guilty.
