1027 Chapter 12- Reece – A Surprise Visitor (VOLUME 6)

Reece

~~

Gah! I hated having to be here right now. I didn’t want to be away from the house and leave my Little Bunny all alone, but I needed to go into the office today. There were a few meetings that I had to attend in person, which completely sucked. Most people met virtually anymore and the days of going into the office were becoming obsolete.

Well, not completely. I still had a massive group of employees that went to the office on a semi regular basis, though a lot of them worked remotely when they were able to. I think that most of the time, the office rotated in a half on half off schedule. That way the office was never crowded, but it was never empty either.

Only people like my secretary, and several of the other secretaries, still worked every day. They would be there to make sure that we got the important messages, to move along the papers and other items that were important to me and the others that worked from home most of the time. And it was that secretary of mine, the evil cat that she was, that demanded that I come into the office today.

I was going to be meeting with Balthazar Kensington, a human man that wanted to try and get in on my business. He had been having a hard time taking no for an answer and was demanding a meeting in person with me. And I think that, in all honesty, Blaire, my secretary, was getting really sick and tired of fielding his calls. She wanted me to shut the man down once and for all. She wanted me to tell the man, in no uncertain terms, that we would not be partnering with him.

And that is why I was sitting in a meeting room with Balthazar and three of his lackeys as I told him over and over again that I didn’t want to have him as a business partner. My company was in no danger of being taken over, and I didn’t need anything from him. This would be a completely one sided gain for him and nothing but an economic, social, and industrial loss for me. He would do nothing for me and I didn’t want to revive the business that he had run into the ground with his poor business management skills.

Oh yes, he tried to counter it and tell me that it wasn’t his fault. It was the recession. It was this. It was that. Blah. Blah. Blah. Well, he had forgotten that there hadn’t been a recession since the twenty twenties. And there had been nothing to make his company tank. He was just, by all accounts, a horrible businessman. And an absolute fucking Scrooge to work for. He was an asshole, and I was finally starting to see why it is that Blaire wanted me to deal with him. At least if I got even a little angry, he would get the fucking hint and leave us all alone.

.....

I had to spend at least another thirty to forty minutes hedging the man’s advances. I swear, it almost felt like he was trying to seduce me into being a business partner with him. That turned me off completely. I wasn’t interested in men. I wasn’t interested in anyone that wasn’t my beautiful Little Bunny. And this old ass human thought that he was going to use his ugly puke green eyes and flabby, drooping face as a way to pull me in. What the hell! Were there rumors that I, Reece Gray, was gay? Did he confuse the last name and take out the R or something? I mean, what the hell was the matter with the man?

“Hahh!” I sighed repeatedly as Balthazar Kensington droned on and on. I truly just wanted this meeting to end. However, I knew that he wasn’t going to stop on his own. If I wanted to free myself from this situation, and save my ears from his incessant droning, then I needed to do something about it soon.

In the end, it wasn’t me threatening the man with violence that got him to stop his begging and pleading. I was trying to live up to my Little Bunny’s standards and not jump straight to the idea of hurting someone, especially a human. Instead, I threatened him with the police, and legal action. He has been harassing my employees, and he had overstayed his welcome. I told him that he wasn’t allowed to come back here ever again, and that he needed to leave right now. It seemed like a shock to him, but he finally gave up and stopped bothering me.

I sighed in relief when it was over, slumping in my chair when the man left with his figurative tail between his legs. I thought that, with the meeting over, I would be able to go home. However, there was a beep coming from the table in front of me and I knew that meant that Blaire was trying to get a hold of me.

I ignored it though, needing a moment to myself before anything else interrupted me. Apparently, Blaire wasn’t going to allow that. She stormed into the conference room. Her green eyes blazing and the severely short red hair was styled in a professional look, as much as she could get with hair that was only an inch and a half long. I saw the firm set to her lips and knew that she was not happy. And based on her insistence, this meant that I had another meeting waiting on me.

“Reece, there is a man that needs to see you. He is on your schedule, but the meeting with that monster man ran way later than it was supposed to. So, now that Mr. Kensington is gone, you can meet with Mr. Dayton. He is waiting in your office.”

“Ugh!” I groaned as I threw my head back. “That meeting was enough to fill my quota for a year, Blair. Don’t make me do this!” I pretended to whine as I got out of my chair.

“Too bad, Reece. If I have to work hard around here, then so do you.” She smirked at me and left the room.

“You’re evil, Blaire. You hear me? Evil, I tell you.”

“And you wouldn’t have it any other way. No one else is capable of running this place besides me.”

“Yeah, yeah.” I grumbled, but she was right. She was an amazing secretary. “I guess I need to see who this Mr. Dayton is, and why it is that he is coming to see me.”

I lumbered out of the room. For a moment I really did feel like a man that was in his mid-forties rather than the late twenties that I looked like. This was a pain in the ass. I just wanted to be with my Little Bunny.

I made my way toward my office, and the man that was waiting in there for me. The office was huge, my desk taking up a large portion of it with a lot of sophisticated computer equipment on it, calendars, and two different phones. There were two large chairs opposite my desk for visitors, a sofa and chair across the room, a mini fridge with drinks, shelves all over the place stacked with books, various pieces of art and awards hung on the walls. It was a typical office for a high level executive. And standing near the windows that completely covered the back wall was a man that I could instantly tell wasn’t human.

My nose told me the moment that I was close enough to Mr. Dayton that he was a wolf. And he looked like he was agitated about something.

“Blaire, why is this man here to see me?” I was wondering why someone would come to my office rather than to the castle if it was about the supernatural. That was where we usually took visitors that needed to see us about things not related to the human world.

“He didn’t say, but you had an opening in your schedule and I knew that he needed to see you. The man sounded desperate when he called yesterday.” She looked like she didn’t have a care in the world now. “Go on, he’s been waiting for at least a half an hour.” She tried to shoo me away. I knew that I needed to go in there, I did, but I got a bad feeling. Like something was wrong that I hadn’t known about yet. I shrugged it off and opened the door to my office. It was time for me to meet with the man that had been so desperate to talk to me. I mean, if he was willing to wait that long in my office, then it had to have been very important. And that made it intriguing. I wanted to know what this was all about.

I think that I stood there for a few more minutes as I just stared at my office. I am not sure if it was seconds or minutes though, it was strange. Something about this situation, something about what was going on, it just didn’t sit well with me at the moment. It was almost like my body and senses were trying to tell me something. Something that was important, but I just didn’t know what it was yet. Whatever it was, whatever was going on, I knew that I would find out soon, but this feeling was so strange and odd that I wasn’t immediately able to dismiss it.
