Beauty VS Beast

CHAPTER ONE

Bella Robinson:

"What the? Grand ma? But didn't you die like a few hours ago?" I rubbed my eyes and tried to stand up but my wobbly drunk body couldn't co-operate with my oh so sober mind.

"Oh bells! Darling look at you! you look like a roadside junkie." said my dead grandmas ghost using her familiar dramatic hand gestures.

"Thanks Grandma for reminding me how awful I look, it's really helping." I rolled my eyes at whatever is sitting on my bed that looks like my late grandma...Oh grams I miss you.

"Bells, darling do you want to talk about it?" said grandma ghost.

"But how are you here? Didn't you want to rest in the afterlife? you use to say that so often" I asked trying to sound skeptic of her.

"I can't do that because of you, you know that." sighed grandma ghost.

"Me? what did I do?" I asked astonished.

"Darling how can I rest in peace without seeing you happy with your soulmate? your grandma just wants you settled in life ya know. " another dramatic sigh.

"What in the f*****g f***s Grandma-" I started

"Language Bella" sneered grandma.

"Okay, okay I am soweeee grams" I said in an annoyed tone. "But seriously grams, the only thing that you think of even after dying is marriage? its just too much." I cried

"Ehem, anyway do you want to talk about it Bells or should I just whoosh into thin air?" she joked

"Wait, don't go." I sighed again. " What am I supposed to tell you? that the relationship in which I invested so much time and effort was a lie?" I choked looking at the see blue walls of my room and trying not to look at all the pictures hanging on the walls. I will burn them as soon as I wake up from this dream.

"Mark? I knew that guy was off from the start" grandma hissed and I could see her pearly white teeth. "Fake" I smiled sadly, thinking to myself. "Just like him".

"Don't cry over that bum, he isn't worth this much drinking and crying my darling." She said in a softer tone.

"Just go out n party Bells, celebrate the ridding of that scummy ol' flutter bum. after all granny's here to find your soulmate" she exclaimed.

"God! grams stop" I said annoyed.

"But it was you who dumped him right darlin?" she asked curios.

"I was just a side chick grams. he flippin has a child!" I laughed

"What in the ducky foozler did you say? I would have killed him with my bare hands if I were alive! Bells darlin why are you just lying around here like a damsel, go kick his ass" screamed grandma

"I-" Before I could say anything I felt my stomach turn. "I can't vomit here, I will have to clean up" I thought to myself and ran to the bathroom. I am quite proud of myself for doing such a task of running after being so drunk.

"ugh! I feel terrible" I sighed and sat on my bed and tried searching for grams. "I am too tired after crying n throwing up, I want sleep" I told myself and drifted into an unpleasant slumber being exhausted.

"Sleep tight darlin, grandma's here" I heard grams sweet voice somewhere near me and with that I lost all conscious.

BABYSHARK DUDUDUDUDUDU

BABYSHARK DUDUDUDUDUDU

BABY SHARK!

I jolted awake." I hate this rhyme." I turned off the alarm.

Suddenly it hit me that today's my interview for the new job. "You sleepy bogger hurry up!" I hissed at myself and got out of bed.

Aaron Beast:

"Good morning Boss. You are supposed to attend a meeting with Mr. Wilson at 2:00 this afternoon. Then if you want me to, I can arrange the dealings you have to finalize with Mrs. Hems." Jerry my assistant said handing me the files.

"What's on schedule for now? It's 8:00 already. Don't I have an appointment with Looney enterprises?" I asked narrowing my eyes.

"About that, they have cancelled the meeting and re-scheduled it for next week" He said plainly.

"They cancelled on me? Do they even know who they are dealing with?" I laughed checking my phone. "Their loss, cancel the appointment right away Jerry." I said without looking up from my phone.

"They surely appear unprofessional. They will be informed Boss" He said collecting the paper work.

"Since we interviewing for new staff, and I supposedly have enough time before my upcoming meeting, I'd like to join in." I said getting up and straightening my tie.

"As you say Boss" He spoke and silently left the room.

"Interviewing is no fun." I rolled my eyes remembering the nervous wreck and over confident participants that are ever so common.

I get out of my office nodding at my employees, I respect them but not all of em. The ladies ugh don't get me started, although we do have professional female workers, quite a few won't stop batting their eyes at me. What do I do? nothing. They are good at what they do so I just roll my eyes and move on. Some men in my own company hate me, according to them I am just a rich son who got all this by my "rich" father.

When I took over this company it was on the verge of bankruptcy, its my own hard work that the company is now at the peak of our industry. So I don't owe all of it to my father.

"On second thoughts I don't think I want to go interviewing, I don't want to scare new staff"

"Jeremy, who else is the in-" I start but I stop as I see a very familiar face in the hallway going into the lift.

"Sir? you were saying?" Jeremy turns to me and unintentionally blocks the view.

I move to take a closer look and its indeed her. Bella Robinson. 

"Why is she here? That girl is always trouble" I mumble but I can't stop thinking about that little figure entering the lift in her peach dress, those wavy brown hair swaying as she hurried in.

Todays interviews suddenly got a lot more interesting.
