7 Chapter 6. The Meeting~Part 1 (1/2)

It had been a week since Vanessa had started working for the Black's Corporations, but it felt like she had always belonged here, all thanks to Carl. True, she didn't interact much with Nathaniel, but that's just a plus point for her, because of the green eyes she was hiding behind.

..... and today is the meeting.

The meeting between the two famous rivals, that would open a new door of partnership and togetherness for them. The meeting between her father and her uncle.

She is ready. Vanessa couldn't help the sarcastic comments that bubbled inside her, how could she?! She was attending the meeting as the manager of the Black's, despite being the daughter of the Survin's.

She couldn't fudging help it!

But she had to keep calm. Vanessa nodded with determination and fixed up her royal blue blazer suit.

Chin up and smile. Vanessa walked towards the meeting room and greeted her colleagues with sweet smiles as she entered the meeting room.

The table had been divided such that the left side of the table was for the committee of Black's and other side for Survin's and Vanessa couldn't help the turmoil burning her.

”Sapphire!” A voice called out her name, breaking her gaze from the leather chair she was eyeing and smiled as her gaze landed on Jake. She met him in the elevator one day, and she found out that he was in Carl's gang of 'The best', the one she was alloted into without even being asked.

”Jake. Hi!” Sapphire walked towards him and Jake stood up from his chair and hugged her good naturedly. Jake was the head of the HR department, so Vanessa was not surprised to see him in the meeting.

”So? What's wrong?” Jake asked with a small smile and Vanessa looked around the room nervously.

”I don't know.” She lied as Jake pulled out a chair for her and she sighed, before settling down on the white chair.

”Umhm.... it's your first time.” Jake remarked, once he settled in the chair and Vanessa nodded, even though she realised that it was not a question.

”Saph, it's normal, ok! All you have to do is believe in yourself and everything will be alright.” Jake patted her shoulder encouragingly and Vanessa raise a mocking brow at him.

”Did you just quote the theme song of winx club?” Vanessa giggled as he turned red with embarrassment and swatted her hands away as she pinched his cheek.

”Aww....”

”I have a little sister.” Jake crossed his arms over his chest and scowled at her, while Vanessa giggled behind her hand.

”Oops. Sorry” She pouted sadly and Jake waved off her apology with her hand.

”It's fine.”

”No. No, it's not. I shouldn't have accused you of... watching Winx. Oh shoot.” She gave him an apologetic look, before she burst out laughing.

”Oh my god. I am so sorry.” She wiped the tear that roll down her cheek and everyone looked at her, confused not able to get anything.

The smiles broke around the room as Jake pouted angrily, while the new manager paid no heed to the blonde man's anger and kept on laughing.

Vanessa alerted as the door opened and the committee of the Survin's followed the owner and CEO of the company. She stood up from her seat, along with others and welcomed the members of her father's company. And, well the situation couldn't get anymore awkward, as the two survins stand opposite each other, getting introduced by Jack.

”Mr. Survin, allow me to introduce you to our new manager..... Ms. Sapphire Jones.” Vanessa and her father exchanged secret smiles as they shook hands.

”A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Survin.” Vanessa grinned proudly and her father smiled back at her.

”You too, Ms. Jones.”
