I know you will not be overly excited about Greg’s arrival . However , I really need your help . I have sent you all the information you will need on Greg and why he is there . In this file , you have very confidential information . Please read it carefully and ensure Greg doesn’t see it . Our business in Bakers Field is ve stake here , and by “ our , ” I mean you too .
Nate and I are working in the background for a permanent solution , but for now , please help me out , kiddo . It’s a sincere request from this old man . Blake said , you wouldn’t turn me down . I initially suggested you go to Bakers Field , but Blake threatened not to give me great – grandchildren if I made you go .
I totally understand if you don’t want to do this . Call me if you have any
issues .
Thanks , kiddo ! All the best .
Love ,
D Cooper .

I closed my eyes and sighed . Ugh ! I couldn’t say no to that . Because of Dwayne Cooper , I had become what I am today . How do i say no ?
I zoned out of the meeting and started reading through the folder . Greg’s history was fascinating , and so was all the information in the folder . By the time
I was done reading , the meeting was over , and everyone started to leave . I got up and collected my belongings .
“ You lucky bitch . First , you get the billionaire hunk ; now you’ve got Greg too . Can you please let us have some fun too ? ” Sarah complained as we walked to
the door .
“ Please take both of them . I could care less right now ” I rolled my eyes .
Greg awkwardly stood near his chair , looking at his hands . I sighed and walked over to him .
“ I’m sorry about my reaction . I wasn’t asked or told about this arrangement , and it’s not your fault . I shouldn’t have made you uncomfortable . ”
I stuck out my hand . “ I’m Rosalie Peters . Call me Rosy ” I introduced myself .
Greg put his hand out and shook my hand .
“ It’s totally fine . I only got told about this yesterday as well . So I don’t hold anything against you . It’s nice to meet you . I’ve heard a lot . ” He smiled at me .
“ Lord , I hope it’s all good things . Come on , I’ll show you to the spare office , and then I’ll take you for a walk around so you can see a few things . I’ve got a team meeting at 1 pm , so you and I can have a chat about how you want to progress between now and then ” I started to walk out of the conference room .
As we walked out the door , I heard a familiar voice call my voice . I stopped and slowly turned around to face an annoyed Blake .
“ Can I please see you in my office ? ” He said , looking between Greg and me .
“ I have a scheduled meeting now , Blake . Can we have a chat later ? Just got a few things happening this morning on top of the extra work you guys give me without consultation . ” I narrowed my eyes at him .
Blake clenched his jaws , and anger flashed through his face .
“ Okay ” was all he said before walking away .
“ Wow . Mr. B didn’t look very happy . You’ve got some balls , ” Greg chuckled .
“ Uh – huh , ” I turned towards my office .

Greg followed close behind . I spotted Lilly at het desk as we got closet .
“ Lillian , my office , NOW ! ” I said loudly before opening my office door and walking in . I motioned for Greg to have a seat .
“ What what what ?! What happened ?! Whatever it is , I didn’t do it ! * She burst through the door looking panicked .
“ People just love to piss me off early in the morning . Don’t worry . No one died , ” I muttered . Not yet anyway .
“ You said , Lillian . No one calls me that unless I’m in trouble . ” She looked scared .
“ Lilly , nothing happened . Listen , I’d like you to meet Greg . He will be working with us for the next few . Can you please get that spare office cleaned cart for him ? ” I started to sort out the files on my table .
“ Yeah , sure thing ” Lilly introduced herself to Greg
“ So , tell me , what inspired you to want to do this job ? ”
Gre
was making small talk .
“ Well , I wasn’t really looking for this job . I had finished my Masters in Sales and Marketing and Finance and got an internship here at Cooper & Co. 1 had just started my second Bachelor’s degree . Dwayne Cooper visited one day and fired the previous Sales and Marketing manager due to fraud . I was helping the department pick up the pieces and honestly put my heart and soul into every job they gave me . Three weeks later , Dwayne Cooper calls me into his office and offers me the job . He said he loved my determination and persistence . He thought I could do great things , and he wanted to help me achieve it .
“ I explained to him that I was still studying , and he said do what you need too , but this job is yours . Here we are six years later , still working my ass off ” É meeting . was going through reports and collecting all the stuff I needed for the
“ Wow . That’s impressive . Mr. Cooper did say you were very driven . So do share , how do you run your department ? ” He asked , leaning forward in his seat .
I smiled at him “ come , let me show you . ”
