How it all began- Stefano - Tanner - Moretti
16 years on Stefano was now 32 and he’d done college and university and he’d been at the top of his class I. Business enterprise. Layla and Aubrey were so happy with him, they’d married when he’d begun college. He was just glad to have his father back in his life, though he didn’t want it at the time. He was glad he’d given Aubrey the chance he wanted and t had given him the time to accept him and his proposal at his and his mother’s wedding. Lucas had decided to live with Ethan when he turned sixteen as he was closer to the college of his choice. Layla had agreed due to the conflict between Ethan and Aubrey. He was not happy with the situation, all he wanted to give him and Layla one last try before giving up. They’d tried so many times in the past to get on track after he had got her pregnant and left her behind to sleep with sluts. He had finally returned when Lucas was one demanding he wanted a paternity test. Once it had come to light, he was Lucas’s father. He wanted to give him and Layla another try so they could bring Lucas up together. Of course, this didn’t sit very well with Stefano. He hated the prick and had done everything in his power to stop his mother from falling into his trap. He was sure it wouldn’t be long before he cheated on her and was f*****g a slut or two. Then his father had turned up out of the blue, who would’ve thought he and Valentina were related, let alone brother and sister where she had kept her Italian surname. He had chosen his English one. Once he had completed university, he had been taken under his father's wing to be shown the ropes so he could one day take over from him and become the new CEO of Manhattan industries. That day had come when she turned twenty-six and he had done his father proud, to say the least. His next accomplishment was taking over Blackwood Industries at 32. They had agreed that he would be the new CEO as Mr Aaron Blackwood was stepping down and he and Aubrey were on good terms and had both cut the current deal to merge both companies but with the Blackwood name on the board above the offices. They had all agreed to this with one extra agreement to this deal; he was to take on his daughter after she graduated from university. That day had been and gone and today would be the day she would become his PA. Stefano - Moretti – Tanner stood in his office waiting for his PA to join him. She was late already. Where the hell was she? They had only agreed to this because she’s the daughter of the former CEO, Aaron Blackwood, and she was already five minutes no make that ten minutes late. Was she not told to be punctual, and especially on the first day? I questioned myself, looking out of the window and looking over the busy city on the twenty-fifth floor. That is why I specifically asked for her to be early. It was so damn busy out there in the city it took me an hour to get here this morning. The traffic was horrendous. Why was she not informed of this? She should know what city life was like being at one of the top universities here in London. She’d been to Cambridge, and I, on the other hand, had gone to Oxford, where I had gone. The door closed as she cursed. ‘Shit.’ I chose to continue staring out of the window as she came forward, her heels clicking on the floor. ‘I’m so sorry sir. I thought you might like a coffee, so I went to Costa. The queue was horrendous. I should’ve known better at this time of the morning. Everyone’s in there before they go to work. I usually don’t go in till lunch when it’s a little less hectic.’ She said, placing down the take-out coffee. ‘I got you a large latte, I picked up sugar if you wanted to put it in. I wasn’t sure if you took it or not.’ ‘Thank you, Miss. Blackwood.’ I turned to see the most stunning woman I’d ever laid my eyes on. Her pinstriped suit hugged all of her curves in all the right places, her green eyes sparkled through her curled fringe. Her hair was in a tail and her curls cascaded down the middle of her back. ‘Next time go to the cafeteria here in the building, it’s not Costa, but it’s good all the same.’ ‘Sure sir.’ I held my hand out. ‘I’m Stefano Tanner.’ ‘Ryleigh Blackwood.’ She said, putting her hand out. I shock it. ‘I hope you're ready to work hard, Miss. Blackwood.’ ‘I am, my father has filled me in with what is expected of me.’ ‘Good, but I’d still like to show you how I like things to be done.’ ‘Sure sir.’ ‘Please call me Stefano.’ I smiled. ‘Okay.’ ‘Come. I have lost to show you, Miss. Blackwood.’ ‘If we’re on first-name terms, please call me Ryleigh.’ ‘Whatever you are happy with. I’d like to show you around and tell you what I expect from you as my PA.’ ‘Okay, sir.’ I looked at her, raising my eyebrows. ‘Sorry, Stefano.’ I smiled. ‘Follow me Ryleigh.’ She followed me and I showed her where she’d be situated. Her desk was in the corner of the large office. It stretched the entire back wall to the next with all that she needed on it; letter trays, in and out trays, phone, laptop and printer. Her chair was leather, not cheap either. I just wanted her to feel at home. She’d be spending most of her time in the chair, so I wanted to make it comfortable for her. ‘I hope you like your office, Ryleigh.’ ‘Are you sure, Stefano? These are expensive.’ ‘The company paid for everything in here. I exclusively designed it to meet your required needs.’ ‘Oh okay.’ ‘When we are not in meetings you’ll be spending most of your time here.’ She smiled, god she had the most amazing smile. ‘Have you ever used an office database before or a calendar?’ ‘Briefly, when I was doing my inturn at Colan Inc.’ ‘I see. I’ll show you once you are confident enough to enter all the obvious information on your own. I’ll leave you to it.’ ‘Okay.’ ‘In the next week I will train you and from the following week, we will both be attending meetings where you will be taking notes to type up. Next month I am flying to Italy and if you would like you to join me,’ ‘I…’ ‘It’s not a request, Miss. Blackwood, after all, you are my PA and you’ll be expected to be there with me. You’ll be attending meetings and taking notes. That’s not too much trouble for you, is it?’ ‘No sir.’ ‘Good.’ I looked at her. ‘And I expect you to be on time every day, Miss. Blackwood, so set your alarm for 5:30 or you’ll never get here by 8.’ ‘Yes sir.’ I smiled. ‘Has your father ever shown you around the building?’ ‘No sir.’ ‘Follow me.’ She followed me talking it all in as I pointed out the different offices and what they were used for. ‘And this Miss. Blackwood is the cafeteria. I want my coffee from here every morning; strong, two sugars, and a hint of milk. Will you remember that?’ ‘Yes sir.’ ‘Go order me a coffee and whatever you have.’ ‘Sir.’ She walked away. Let’s see if she remembers, shall we? I sat down. Watching her order. She walked back and placed them down. ‘I hope I got it right sir.’ She said, sitting opposite me. I sipped it. ‘Perfect Miss. Blackwood, now all you’ve got to do is remember it every day. I can do that, sir.’ I smiled. ‘So tell me, Miss. Blackwood, was this your plan to work here?’ ‘No, it was my father.’ I nodded. ‘He always wanted me to take over from him one day. I guess he never expected to be taken over.’ ‘We didn’t exactly take it over, Miss. Blackwood we emerged for all different kinds of reasons. Your father and mine agreed a merger was best for both companies.’ ‘And was it for you?’ I put my coffee down, swallowing the hot liquid. ‘Yes. I took over from my father six years ago when I was CEO of Manhattan industries.’ ‘So why the sudden change, sir?’ ‘We all agreed that the shift would be good for me.’ ‘So who is the CEO now?’ ‘Lucas, my younger brother. He’s been there for a year now, since uni finished before the contemporary CEO, a family friend, he is showing Lucas the ropes as we speak. He will then be a Co-CEO of the company.’ I looked at her. ‘Is there anything else you’d like to know, Miss? Blackwood?’ I had plenty of questions for her, some that didn’t include her position here, so I thought it was best to keep them to myself.’ ‘No sir.’ Now it was time to ask her a few questions. ‘Was your father the only reason you came to work for us, Miss Blackwood?’ ‘Yes and no.’ I looked at her confused. ‘My father was the main reason, yes, but it wasn’t just because he told me I had to work here once I left uni.’ ‘So what was the other reason, if you don’t mind me asking?’ ‘Not at all. I didn’t take a business degree just to get nothing out of it, sir. I wanted to become someone. I wanted to pride myself and one day be like my father. He was well respected in the business world, as I am sure you are, like your father, and I’d like that respect too. I’d like to be recognised as a great entrepreneur. I want to show the world I’m not just a pretty face and I am just as good as anyone in this business, especially men like you sir.’ ‘I’m sure we can help you with that, Miss Blackwood. I’d like to see that side of you. I’m looking forward to it. And I’m looking forward to working with you. I’d like to see what you have to offer so I can get you to that potential you so much long for.’ ‘Thank you, sir.’ ‘Well let’s head back up I have a lot to show you about our logging-in system and what we use to keep track of appointments, meetings and all other office requirements.’ We pulled ourselves up, going back to the office where I showed Miss. Blackwood. All there was to know was she looked confused. I’d have to show her until she understood how all of our systems worked. It may take a while, but I do care about this gorgeous girl working beside me. I think we’re just going to get on just fine. ‘I’ll see you bright and early, Miss. Blackwood.’ ‘Sir.’ ‘We’ll go through it all again tomorrow bit by bit. I can guarantee that you’ll be using it without my help by the end of the week. Have a good evening Miss. Blackwood.’ ‘You too, sir.’ I smiled as she left the office. This would be the start of a beautiful friendship, maybe more.
