《Meant To Be》Chapter 15- Meeting

Ella's POV
I couldn't fall asleep again. I think I slept enough back on the plane. I sat up and took the chocolate that Lena pack in my bag and put it inside my mouth. I live in chocolate. I smile to myself. I'm satisfied with the sweet effect I have from the chocolate as I slump back to my bed.
My mind drifts back to earlier in the plane, remembering what happened... Everything. It was a dream but it felt so real. If I didn't know my boss any better, I would have thought he touch and caress my cheeks. The simple thought alone of him doing that got me excited.
But I know better.
He will never do that. I'm not his type he prefers celebrities and models to be specific. And how did I get to know about that, Simple: for the past weeks that I have work with him I have seen who he goes out with or not and almost every week he is with a different person.
I am not a model neither do I have a model's body, the shape and curves I don't have them.
What are you even talking about? My subconscious backs at me.
Yeah, you are right. He is my boss and there is no way he could have done that. I mean he wasn't the one.
It was just a dream. I concluded that even though the better part of my brain is in disagreement. I check the time again, we had about 15 minutes to the meeting so I went into his room to inform Mr. Grey. I walk in after a knock on the door.
"Sir, the meeting with Mr. Henry's company starts in 10 minutes and I have made all the necessary slides and files and everything we need in the conference room, and they will be here any moment sir."

"Thank you, Ella. I will just come." He said as I excuse him to go to the conference room and double-check everything while we wait for them to arrive to start with the meeting.
Three gentlemen walk in followed immediately by Mr. Grey.
The older and younger ones look alike, I think the young man should be his son. They had the same hair color and body structure. No doubt he could be his son or they are related in a way. The other man looked different from the two others with his brown hair gel backward, pointed nose, and with only his suit matching them.
They all look nice in their suits but my Grey looks handsome. His suit was hugging his perfect body structure and muscles.
"Mr. Grey, it is nice meeting you again." Mr. Henry said exchanging a firm handshake with Mr. Greg " and who is this beautiful young lady, I don't happen to know her? Mr. Henry asked.
"Good afternoon Mr. Henry, I'm Ella, Ella Laurence, and Mr. Grey's personal assistant. Nice meeting you Mr. Henry." I introduced myself professionally while shaking his extended hand toward me.
" and is nice to you too miss Laurence. " he smiles shaking my hand much gently than he shook Mr. Greys.
He introduces the other man as his secretary and the younger one his son. So I was right?
The man he introduced as John his son, shook my hand for a little too long winking at me. I look down away from his face and trying to free my hand with a smile. Though I was boiling inside, I still smiled.
" Please, let get started with the meeting, shall we?" My Greg prompted. John quickly let my hand go as we took our seat.

Thank you, sir, you just saved me. I mumble under my breath.
We discuss the pros and cons of the new project for both companies. After two hours of discussion, the meeting was cut, and to be finally the next day.
During the meeting I realized John couldn't stop staring at me when I was giving the presentation on the pros of the project, he continued even when I took my seat afterward.
After that, we all said our goodbyes as I took the lift with Mr. Grey back to the hotel room.
There is something off about his mood.
He seems to be annoyed.
Did I do any mistakes in the presentation?
What got him in such a bad mood?
From what I know of my boss, it could be personal, because if it's business he would have certainly talked about it. He doesn't joke with his business.
But how do I ask him? I was debating with my self when he walks away from me and entered his room.

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
