Chapter 6 - Head turned

Back in Nate's lounge.

"Baby, clean up quickly, we are already late for the meeting." Nate whispered 

into Elle's ear as she had gone back to sleep. His need for her was 

unparalleled. He never felt this way about anyone. It felt good.

"Oh Nate, you always have my head turned."

"Damn skippy. Hurry, I'm so glad you decided to design a uniform, you would 

get strange looks if you came in wearing one set of clothing and went back 

out wearing another." Nate said as he handed her a uniform from his closet.

"Thanks, I will only be a minute. Is there anything I need to prepare for the 

meeting or just an accompaniment for you?"

"Actually, I want you to Chair the meeting, I need to scope out these men 

and their reaction to my proposal for the next software launch."

"No problem. Okay I'm ready."

Nate didn't want to go, he wanted to take her home and make love to her 

until the end of the week. He groaned as he got hard again. He reached 

down to his pants and squeezed himself. This had to be a sickness.

"Again Nate?"

"For you, yes. Head to Boardroom 1, begin the meeting without me but don't 

share the proposal information until I get there. Introduce yourself to them, 

explain what your plans are etc. Myk and the others will back you up."

"So basically… stall."

"That's my girl. Get going, I miss you already."

Elle blushed and left.

As she pushed the door to the main boardroom, she made her way to the 

top of the table and sat in one of the chairs.

"Good morning everyone, My name is Everleigh James, the new Vice 

President of Naton Corp and Head of the Marketing Department. Our 

President is currently delayed at the moment and will be with us shortly. The 

meeting will begin in two minutes."

Nate's assistant handed Elle the proposal Nate had prepared.

"Thanks Kim, kindly make sure the refreshments are ready for our guests in 

an hour."

"Okay Elle."

Someone at the far end of the table snorted.

"Speak up Sir." Elle said softly as she raised her head.

"You need to know your place 'Elle'." The man said with clear disdain.

"Call me stupid but I'm confused as to what you think my place should be 

Sir."

"That girl is your subordinate, she called you Elle."

Elle smiled widely.

"I my subordinates call me that because it is my choice, I have no need to 

Lord over my staff members and make them feel inferior because of my title 

as VP. This useless bit of information is unimportant to this meeting."

"I agree Elle, we treat all our staff with respect, no matter what our titles are." 

Nate growled as he quietly appeared in the doorway.

"I'm not sure I want to invest in a project run by people who don't know or 

appreciate the chain of command."

"Our chain of command doesn't include you Sir, feel free to leave, Naton 

Corp is competent enough to attract clients and investors who are willing and 

ready to sit shoulder to shoulder with us." Elle replied confidently.

"You allow her to speak for you Mr. Tondale?" The man shouted as he stood 

up and pushed back his chair.

"She is definitely free to speak, and I agree. Leave or I will have security 

throw you out. Elle, we have another meeting in the next boardroom in half 

an hour, some of the investors are already there, ask Kim to take the 

refreshments to them."

"Okay." Elle grabbed the proposal from the table and left the room without 

so much as a look in the rude man's direction.

"Let me explain something to you Mr. Tondale, I will tell everyone about your 

operations here and how you allow people to disrespect potential investors."

"You disrespected my VP twice and THINK I would stand by and let it 

continue? Your issue was not that someone called her Elle, your issue is 

that she is competent and does not buy into your bullshit. Now, again, get 

OUT of my building!" Nate shouted.

The man huffed and left with his assistant who followed behind him 

sheepishly.

Nate went to find Elle; the meeting definitely didn't go as he planned but he 

was a hair's breath away from punching Sinclair Jones in the face. 

Elle was sitting in her office at her desk. She looked up when she heard the 

door open.

"Baby, are you okay?"

"I ruined everything." She whispered.

"Do you think I would stand for anyone insulting you?"

"He made me feel as if I wasn't suitable to Chair the meeting. I'm sorry Nate, 

I can find him and ask him to change his mind and apologise."

"That is never going to happen. I am done with him. We have another 

meeting, wanna' play hookie?" Nate asked playfully.

Elle blushed. Her body heated up as Nate wheeled towards her.

"We were late last time Nate."

"This is my company, they will wait, I need you baby."

Elle turned away and left for her personal lounge. Before she turned to face 

him Nate had already gotten rid of his jacket and was unbuttoning his shirt. 

Elle had done the same, she quickly took off her clothes this time.

"God babe, you are so beautiful, I want you on top, I will try to make this 

quick."

Half hour later, Nate and Elle were entering the smaller boardroom for their 

meeting. Once again Nate asked her to Chair the meeting but this time, 

everyone was blown away by her. Men lusted; women were jealous. Nate 

was happy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it was a pleasure having you today. Mr. Tondale will 

be on hand to sign the contracts, thank you for taking an interest in the 

project. Refreshments are still available, don't leave any on the trays." Elle 

said as she smiled widely. The people applauded lightly. Success!

Nate decided to call it a day, it was only 2 in the afternoon, but he needed 

his woman. He felt he was suffering from some kind of deranged lust for her. 

He wanted to be with her every second.

"Sir." Myk responded when her cell rang.

"Take us home, we will be down in ten."

As Nate got comfortable in the car, he decided he wanted to give Elle 

everything she needed in life. He was ready to make her his business 

partner. In the short time she was at Naton Corp, his staff had been outfitted 

with a uniform that they loved wearing, even the executives. She had 

suggested some ideas about the décor, asked the staff to submit forms 

detailing their skills outside of their job descriptions. Everyone responded 

and the plan was for them to move up in the company and eventually move

on to owning their own business. She was a positive force and the ones who 

insulted her in the beginning, now had huge respect for her.

As they pulled up to his house, Myk pushed him inside and Elle followed.

"I don't think I will be needing you until later Myk, you can relax until about 

6." Nate looked at Elle who was standing next to Myk.

"I think you better make that 8, if Elle is staying the night, I won't need you to 

take her home.
