Black Silk Tie (1-38).pdf

Chapter 1

I looked myself over in the mirror. Straightening my black silk tie for the 4th time this

morning. I brushed my shoulders off swiftly and made sure to smooth out my black Armani

jacket. My hair was slicked back and I was freshly shaved. It was time to get to work.

I walked out of my bathroom into my bedroom. I picked up my blackberry off its cradle and

placed it in the breast pocket of my jacket. I slid my platinum Rolex watch on my wrist and

my wallet into my back pants pocket and placed my set of keys in my right one.

I did a once over in the bedroom mirror and smiled with pleasure. I was ready to kill. I

proceeded to the hallway and down the stairs. I could hear Mrs. Barker in the kitchen banging

around some pots.

Mrs. Barker was my house keeper. A sweet woman in her early 60's with gray hair and

beautiful blue eyes. She had worked for me the last 6 years. She definitely was a good hearted

person and did a great job taking care of my house hold.

"Good morning Edward, you are looking dapper today. What would you like for breakfast?"

She asked sweetly

"I don't have time to eat. I have a board meeting in 35 minutes. I will have Jessica just pick

me up something on her way." I smiled at her.

"Of course sir. Should I send lunch?" She asked

"I will let you know." I smiled at her once more and made my way out of the kitchen.

I walked out of my penthouse door grabbing my coat and brief case.

Today was a big deal. I would be taking over Tombola industries, which was a company I had

been trying to acquire for along time now. Import and exports was my field of specialty,

among other things.

I made my way to the elevator outside my penthouse door and there stood Garret my

driver/body guard if you will.

"Good Morning Mr. Cullen." Garret nods at me and presses the down button for the elevator.

"Morning Garrett." I nod back at him standing in front of the doors waiting for them to open.

Finally the elevator dings and we climb in to the parking garage under the building. Garret

and I both step out and proceed to my Rolls Royce phantom. Garret hurries in front of me and

opens the door. I nod at him and slide into the back seat.

I place my briefcase on the seat next to me while I watch Garret climb into the driver's side of

the car. I pull my blackberry out of my jacket and say Jessica's name.

After about 3 rings she finally picks up on her end.

"Good Morning Mr. Cullen, what can I do for you?" Her voice is smooth.

"Yes Jessica could you get me my usual before you get in. I was running a bit late this

morning." I picked some papers up out of my brief case waiting for her reply.

"Of course sir, would you like a run down of your schedule this morning?" She was over

doing the eager.

"No that can wait until I get to the office. That's all." I didn't wait for a reply before pressing

end.

I looked over the paperwork in my hand glancing at the numbers and the small details I would

need to finalize before the meeting, which now was in 15 minutes.

Soon we pulled up into my office parking lot. Garret went to cut the engine and I slipped out

of the backseat. I pulled my coat and briefcase with me and walked over to the elevator.

"Sir, will there be anything else.?" Garret asked standing tall and looking confident.

"No. If I need you, I will alert you, just finish up what I asked you last night. That will be all."

With that I got on the elevator to the 50th floor.

When I reached the floor of my office it was still quiet. Seeming it was only 7:52 am, most of

my employees wouldn't be here until around 8:30 or 9 am. I liked to the be first in the office

and most of the time I was the last to leave.

I walked past the desk in the center of the floor, which belonged to Jessica, my personal

assistant. My office was ahead of me with the tall black doors. I pulled the keys out of my

pocket and opened the office door.

I placed my coat on the coat rack that was by the door and walked to my desk in the center of

the room. I placed my briefcase on top and walked to the other side and turned on my

computer.

Waiting for the computer to boot up I walked over to the windows and drew the four blinds.

The sun was coming up brighter in the sky, an unusual site for Seattle Washington. It was

pleasant outside for early October. I had no fear that it definitely would be raining by the end

of the day.

I heard the computer ding, letting me know it was booted and ready to go. I walked back to

my desk and sat down in the big leather chair. I pulled up my email and began looking

through them.

About 10 minutes into looking at the emails there was a knock on the office door.

"Yes." I asked from behind the computer.

"It's Jessica, I have your breakfast." The perky edge to her voice

"Come in." I yelled out.

I logged out of the email and watched as Jessica approached my desk. She was a petite blond

girl with long legs and an amazing ass. Maybe that was why I kept her around, she was good

eye candy. She was dressed in a tight black pencil skirt with matching jacket with a white

shirt underneath. Her breasts were pushing through the buttons of her jacket, obviously for me

to see.

She swayed her hips approaching the desk with a cup of coffee in one hand and a gourmet

muffin in the other balancing a black note book underneath it. I had no idea where she got

these muffins from, but they were one of my favorites, I would have to ask her later.

"Here you are Mr. Cullen." She smiled brightly while placing the coffee and muffin on my

desk.

"Thank you Jessica. Shall we begin." I looked at her while picking up the muffin and

unwrapping it.

I watched her as I eased the wrapper off the muffin and she swallowed hard. Her eyes briefly

filled with lust and then she shook it off.

"Yes your meeting with Mr Chen will begin in 10 minutes, we are waiting for him to arrive.

Then at 11am you have a conference call with Ferber Soft that will be about 45 minutes long.

At 3 pm you will have another meeting with blah blah blah blah." She just went on and on.

I just started blocking her out. I already knew what I was doing for the day, I would go over it

the night before. I guess to make her feel adequate I allowed her to run it down for me every

morning.

"Then you have dinner with your parents at 6pm." She smiled nodding her head.

"Well if that's all, you are dismissed, just let me know when Chen gets here please." With that

I disregarded her and opened up my briefcase.

The day went by quickly after that. Chen was a pleasure to do business with and I acquired his

business without any mishaps.

Has I finished up my conference call with Ferber Soft Jessica buzzed me from her phone.

"Yes." I answered

"Emmett is on line 1 sir."

"Thank you, put him through." I sighed and pressed the number to retrieve the call.

Emmett was my brother and the world's biggest pain in the ass. He was older, but not wiser.

Him and I built this company together with the help of our father.

"Yo bro, what are you up to? Want to do lunch?" Emmett sounding chipper as usual.

"I have some things to finalize, I don't have time."

"oh C'mon, I am already half way to your office." He whined like a child.

"Emmett, you only work three doors down, its not like you went out of your way." I scoffed at

him.

"That's besides the point Ed." He was so annoying.

"Why don't you just call Kate and ask her to have lunch with you or have you disposed of her

already." I had to smirk at that one.

Kate was a girl Emmett had been dating for the last few weeks. To be perfectly honest, he had

been trying to bang her for the last few weeks. She was a nice girl, definitely not my type. She

was too innocent, but Emmett took that as a challenge.

"Um she kind of told me to fuck off."

I just started laughing, not a surprise.

"Fine Emmett you pain in my ass, what do you want to eat?" I leaned back in my chair.

"Can we go 94 Stewart's?" His eagerness was eye rolling to say the least.

"Didn't we just eat there like yesterday?" I huffed

Without a single reply my office door opened and in walked my brother closing his cell in his

hand.

He took a seat in the leather chair across from my desk.

"Do you not like that place? They got the best chicken stripes." He gave me a teethy smirk.
