Abused and Broken

The meeting

Ana was angry, she through a death glare at Claire.

“Excuse me Mr. Silva, I am the person you are supposed to be meeting with. My name is Ana Hutton, I am sorry if I am late, but your receptionist was being very rude and disrespectful and wouldn’t tell me where to go. She even tried to have security throw me out. I am sorry if you don’t have time dealing with “dirt” like me. But this meeting is important to me.”

Luke turned to look at Ana, then glanced at his receptionist. By the look of anger and disgust on the woman’s face he knew Ana was telling the truth.

“Claire, pack up your stuff. You are fired. I do not tolerate disrespect to anyone. Especially a client.” Claire was shocked. She tried to argue but Luke stopped her. “Don’t argue with me, this is the third time someone made a complaint against you. I won’t allow you to stay and work here and ruin the name of my company. Now pack your things and leave, you have 30 minutes.”

Turning to Ana Luke smiled, “My apologies for my employees rude behavior. As you can see it’s been dealt with, why don’t we head to my office so we can start our meeting?”

Surprised Ana nodded. “Of course sir.”

As Ana followed him, Luke was watching her out of the corner of his eye. The moment he had heard her voice he had been captivated by her. He had seen her arguing with his receptionist and wanted to know what was going on.
