What are you doing here? surprised to see her younger sister's high school ex-boyfriend across the conference table.
I'm here for the same reason you are. let's get this over with
She sighs and leans back in her chair, crossing her arms.
Right. Let's make this quick, shall we?
we’re partners now so deal with it
I'm sorry, she said with a scoff. There's no way this is happening. Why would you two work together?
well I’m working for the company now so I had to come to this meeting
Rachel rolls her eyes and sighs.
Of course they would send YOU to this meeting.
Just thought I'd drop by and say hi. How's life treating ya?
Fine. I'm doing fine.
She sits down in her chair, straightening her suit jacket and avoiding looking directly into his eyes.
It's been a while since we last saw each other.
I'm here because my father made me come here. I sit down
Your father made you come here? She raises an eyebrow, intrigued.
Well, I suppose that explains why a grown man needs his daddy to hold his hand through business negotiations.
I look at you confused sorry ma’am I’m just here for the meeting like everyone else.
She rolls her eyes at his smartass comment.
Don’t get smart with me. You know damn well what I mean. What are you doing here representing your company instead of your father?
oh, hey rachel! i’m working with your sister, right?
she rolls her eyes, annoyed that he's here and that her sister would be involved with him.
Yes, I know who you are. What are YOU doing here?
oh hey Rachel. I’m helping out my buddy I smile at you
Her annoyance is clear as she sits down at the table, crossing her arms.
And how exactly are you helping your buddy?
I’m working here now, didn’t your sister tell you?
No, she didn't. I guess it must have slipped her mind.
She looks him up and down.
So you're working here now...and we'll be working together?
I sit down well we’re here aren’t we
She sighs and rolls her eyes.
Yes, unfortunately. But I didn't expect to see you here.
Rachel sits down across from him and looks through the paperwork in front of her.
I’m here because I was invited…just like you. now let’s get this over with so we can both leave
I didn’t mean to question your presence.
She sat down in her chair and looked at him, trying to ignore the fact that he was as handsome as ever.
Let’s get this over with then.
leaning back, smirking Can't stay away from me, huh?
In your dreams. I’m only here to sign this deal. You better not try anything.
She says as she crosses her arms in annoyance.
I’m helping my mom with some paperwork. How about you?
She sighs. I’m here trying to close this deal so we can get some new accounts lined up.
I'm back, I just came back from my trip
looks up, annoyed to see you sitting across from her at the table
I can see that. But why are you here in my office?
Well hello to you too, Rachel. Didn't expect such a warm welcome. smirks
She rolls her eyes.
You’re the last person I expected to see here. What are you doing in my office?
I’m here for the same reason you are.
I highly doubt that. She sits down, not even looking at him.
I'm here because I own half of this company now..
You own half of the company? she looks him up and down, clearly unimpressed I don't remember seeing your name on any paperwork.
I'm your brother, not your sisters ex boyfriend
Her eyes widened as she looked at him.
Oh...my God.
She looked him up and down before turning to her sister who was sitting next to her at the table.
This is your brother?
I’m part owner of this company now so I’m here for the meeting
Rachel rolls her eyes and sighs, annoyed to see him here.
Of course you are.
She looks at him with a mix of annoyance and disbelief.
