Chapter 8 : I'm not late !
* Early the next morning *
Iris Fetti
( buttoning her pink shirt )
You guys ready? We're gonna be late.
Felicity Fetti
( putting on one sock and jumping )
Almost.
Jeremy Fetti
( bread in his mouth )
Ready.
Rachel Lee
( chewing gum )
You're all gonna be late if you don't get going .
Iris Fetti
( picks her pink suit jacket )
Easy for you to say bosslady
Jeremy Fetti
( puts on his school bag )
Let's go.
Felicity Fetti
( puts on her shoes )
I'm ready.
Iris Fetti
( tilts her head )
You have only one sock on City.
Felicity Fetti
( runs to Rachel )
I know, I'll put the other one on later mommy.
Iris Fetti
( puts in her watch )
Alright guys, have an awesome day .
Jeremy Fetti
( Kisses her cheek )
You too mom.
Felicity Fetti
( Kisses the other cheek )
Don't do anything stupid.
Iris Fetti
( laughs and kisses them both )
Don't worry.
* They go their separate ways as Rachel takes the kids to school and Iris runs to work.
Iris Fetti
( Ties her blonde hair into a messy bun )
Can't be late, can't be late.
* runs into the elevator *
Iris Fetti
( looks at her watch )
I can make it, I can so make it.
* She actually had five minutes till it was 8:00 and she'd be officially late *
Iris Fetti
( runs out of the elevator )
I'm here and so not late.
Ethan
( looks at his watch )
I guess your not.
Iris Fetti
( pants and holds her knees )
Awesome, what do I do today?
Ethan
( smiles )
Sure you don't need a minute ?
Iris Fetti
( moves her head from side to side )
Maybe a minute.
* She smoothed out her pink pantsuit and wore the jacket. Then she wore her black rimmed oval shaped glasses *
Iris Fetti
( looks up )
Now I'm ready.
Ethan
( nods )
Alright, come in.
Iris Fetti
( whistles )
Boss looks good, didn't know you liked pink.
Ethan
( looks at himself )
Thought it went well together. Don't you agree?
Iris Fetti
( gives a thumbs up )
Boss gives new meaning to the color pink.
* Ethan was in a black suit with a pale pink T-shirt *
Iris Fetti
( follows him in to the office )
So what do I do?
Ethan
Well we have a meeting and your table should be here by then.
Iris Fetti
( nods enthusiastically )
I won't let you down boss.
* an hour later in a pre scheduled meeting *
Iris Fetti
( writing furiously and seriously )
Ethan
( Looks up at his concentrated assistant )
Would that be okay with your company ?
Justice Speedwell
( interlaces his hands with a smile )
Of course, having 30% interest is good enough.
Justice Speedwell
( glancing at Iris who is standing behind Ethan )
Ethan
( trying to control his anger ) Iris, could you get our guest something to drink?
Iris Fetti
( looks up and nods )
I'll be right on it boss.
* Quickly leaves the room *
Justice Speedwell
( glances to the door )
So.... she's cute
Ethan
( wrinkles his nose )
Shut up.
Justice Speedwell
( laughs lightly )
What? She looked so serious, wouldn't even look my way.
Ethan
( smiles )
Let's get this over with so you can get out.
Justice Speedwell
( hand on chest )
You're always so mean, you'll die alone if you keep that up .
Ethan
Its still none of your business.
Justice Speedwell
( laughs again )
I'm one of your few friends, brick. Be a good boy for me.
Ethan
( scrunches his nose )
Stop spouting nonsense.
Justice Speedwell
( smiles )
Teasing you makes you cringe which makes me laugh...how can I stop ?
* A light knock is heard as Iris comes back in pushing a cart with different liquid options *
Iris Fetti
( smiling professionally )
I wasn't sure what you wanted so I got a few choices.
Justice Speedwell
( holding down a laugh )
So sweet of you. Do come over.
