The First Female Trillionaire

The Funders

January 1st, 2011.

Bank Account: -250.10

Madeline looked at the folder she was holding and sat in her chair. Quietly tapping her shoes nervously at the floor.

Madeline had looked up several funders in her area and today she was sitting in the waiting area with a bunch of other eager people ready to pitch their ideas. 

She was excited and really nervous. For once in her life, she had found a purpose and she was really scared because she anxiously thought her dreams would be shattered today because she didn't feel like her idea was the best while also all these competitors were not helping her self-esteem either. 

Miss Clark!

Madeline upon hearing her name being called looked up and walked briskly towards the door the lady opened. 

As she walked in she looked at the guy behind the desk and to her surprise it was Cristian Grey!

"Uhm, Hi Cristian! Didn't know this was your office."

"Madeline! We meet again!"

"So Madeline, I'm guessing your idea is the dating profile thing you told me right before you left the cafe the last time we met."

Madeline fidgetted with her purse too nervous to look at him.

"Let me see your proposal."

Madeline with nervous hands handed over her proposal. 

"Well if anything this proposal is very eloquently written and thoroughly researched."

"Yeah, I worked really hard on it," Madeline said humbly.

"Well Madeline, I'm impressed. This is a very well-written proposal. I just have one request before I accept the proposal."

Madeline looked up in shock and confusion. "What's your request?"

"Have lunch with me."

Madeline looked at him dumbfounded. She was so confused. "Uhm Mr.Grey, I'm sorry I walked out on you at the cafe last time. I don't feel it's a good idea for us to do it over."

"Why not?"

"Well first off, my expectations are very high and truthfully, I haven't met a single guy that checked every bullet on the list."

"Are you willing to tell me your list," Cristian says with a wink.

"Actually I do, but I have decided let's do another lunch."

"Tomorrow at 12pm. Where should I pick you up?"

"Oh, at 13243 Shoulder Way Drive, I'll be in the front at 12."

"See you then Madeline."

"See you."

As Cristian opens the door to let her out. Madeline gives him a nod as for thanks and walks out.
