Chapter 1 The Beginning

Slamming the file in my hand I groan out loud in frustration, what exactly do I have to do before this people get the memo

The fact I haven't constantly been on their trail doesn't mean am disinterested or the fact that am a female makes them think am too easy

I scoff within myself, I will show them that no one messes with Zara Jiselle Beckett and goes scot free

"What did they say again??" I ask Devan my assistant whose head is currently bent, not wanting to be the at the receiving end of my anger

"We should come for a second review Jiselle" he said

Taking a deep breath I drew my chair closer and sat on it thinking hard on how to get them to sign.

A second review is what I don't have time for, for whatever reason sake. I do not have time for that right now

I need that space within a month so what in actual living daylights is all this second meeting and review

As the CEO of Beckett B&G empire am entitled to as much as seeing to the opening of our new hotel

As much as I do not want to be in this business, I do not have a choice as my father Mr. Gianni Beckett who has been running this company recently got himself in a sickly position and I have to take over

Been in this business for almost 2 years before the official takeover I know exactly how this thing work

Alot of people think been 25 and a female CEO means I have not nothing else to offer but my body

But then I have remarkable proven to them that I am more than they think me to be time without number

For Mr. Adams to ask for a second review means his asking for trouble and he knows it

Facing Devian whose face is still on the ground I said

"Make sure you gather every freaking information on Mr. Adams, am going to go through this in a way he doesn't expect me to"

He nodded bowed and left the office

Closing my eyes I took a deep breath trying not to clench my teeth.

The Hotel and suits industry still didn't get the memo did they? They seriously think i'm going to sit down and be one of those minions that know nothing

They've got another thing coming then.

My phone rang and I opened my eyes instantly, staring at it. My father splashed on the screen and I took a deep breath before answering

"Hello father"

"What is this, am I hearing Jiselle?" really holy cow. Standing up from my seat I started pacing around. I might as well be up and doing if am going to get a piece from father

"It's nothing we can't handle" I assured him

"Of course I know you can handle it but do you think the other competitors will let this slide? Second review takes months Jiselle and you know it, sort this out" he said in a stern voice that always made me flinch as a child

Well even right now I just flinch so the effects are still there

I bowed my head slowly trying not to ram it into something

"Sure I will" I said with a grunted voice

"I know you will" he ended the call like we just didn't start talking

It is always business, always has been as soon as I was able to walk my life has been decided for me

Not wanting to reminisce on all the things I hate thinking about I went back to my seat picking up the file and examining it

The proposal we had set up is one of the best I have been told. Then why the hell is this taking forever to get reviewed

Rolling the sleeve of my shirt up I picked up a pen and cross out the words that shouldn't be used in the presentation

Who the actual hell wrote this anyways, after minutes I am seeing so many errors. I do not pay this minions to write me a proposal with stupid errors

Picking up the landline I called my secretary

"Get yo ass here right now" I drop the phone back

The door to my office open and he scooted inside

"You called" he said

Still sitting I flung the paper to him with anger filling me to the brim

He bent picking it up

"Who for the love of Christ wrote that? And who the heck approved that?" I ask him knowing he had approved it himself

"This was written by umm..... The development team Jiselle and I reviewed it myself"

I hate lashing out to anyone, especially to him. Trying to calm myself down I look at him

"Take that thing away from here then make sure you note where all the errors are, meanwhile what are the remaining of my schedule for the day"

"You have a meeting with the Arts center for the commissioning of some of their artifacts in the second B&G building and that is in 30 minutes"

Noting that I sent him away. Been here and been in the kind of business that I am in, there is no room for mistake as you can easily get crushed out as there are so many competitors

Getting ready for my meeting I took everything that was needed for it and headed out

As I and Devan passed through the other block to get down to the parking lot everywhere was silent.

I know a lot of them call me evil witch or whatever they deem it fit to be called an insult

I need to get my head up high if I still want to be here, no sentiment about my gender as I have been trained to be nothing but strong and ruthless

There are so many weaknesses that can be bestowed upon someone who has no time for all that keeps my head in the game.

I only need one thing right now, to get the freaking Adams Company
