CATHEDRAL
" -So the budget limit stays unviolated, even if we focus on increasing our infrastructure." I explained to Jason sliding the tablet to him. It was two in the morning and we were working together on a very important project, on our very own hotel chain that we wish to expand around Greece. I was presenting to him what I had prepared as a solution for the situation we were facing. We had came back home from the office after collecting some files.

This project was new to me and had been going on for about seven months but there was no evident progress. So Jason had taken it in his hands to work on this project by himself. The problem was change in the designs after we had hired new people on the project. If the designs were changed, the budget was going up in figures of millions!

There was no proper solution to it, but we can save millions by increasing the work efficiency.

" So you are suggesting that we should invest about 8.4 millions more and cut down on the staff? How will that increase the staff efficiency?" He looked at me giving me a pure business look. His gaze was strong enough to make me shiver, I shifted in my seat and pulled down the nightwear that Jason had picked for me when we went out with Samantha.

" Campus selection, for the jobs of management, apart from cooking, we can hire directly from college campuses. It will be lot of research, but it will surely be worth it. The students will be hired as interns and based on their evaluation results, they will be permanent. Apart from saving on the cost for long run, meaning on the salaries of the employees, we will be recognized for hiring directly and generating more employment." I explained him. I was new at business and all this thought processes but I had been thinking about getting more involved into business along with architecture. I would talk to Mr Lewis on this.

" Impressive idea, really. The problem Miss Weston is the implementation will make the project even long than it should be." He said getting up from his chair and moving to the table with the files. So we are on the last name basis the?

" That won't be a problem Mr Blake, give me two days. As to my knowledge, Weston INC and Blake cooperations, both of the company run a special programme of employing directly from college. All we have to do is increase the percentage of interns and employees we get from colleges and universities and shift that to this company, the integrated one."

" Okay, I am trusting you on this one. But Cathedral, will you be able to do this?" He asked.

" Jason trust me, I will do this, I may not be a CEO like you or Xavier but I know how things run. So what exactly do you want me to do Mr Blake?" My confidence was heightened and I moved towards him and crashed my lips on his.

I do not know why would I do that in between of an important business talk, but I did. He stiffened on my sudden action but still kissed me back. His hands found mine. I was pushed against the wall, our bodies rubbing against each other. He held my hands over my head with his one and the other holding me by my waist.

My legs were liquifying and my knees were giving up. His hand patted my thigh signalling me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and his hands were on my lower waist. I intensified the kiss by arching my neck. His lips then moved to my neck, pleasuring every inch of me. He suddenly stopped and looked at me. I saw the lust and dominance in his eyes. He put me down and bent down his hands reached at feet and removed my slippers. His touch burning on my skin.

No words could describe my need for him right now. I want him. I need him.

He looked up and brought my feet towards his mouth and started kissing it till he reached the upper thigh.

" Do you know what this dress is doing to me right now?" He said huskily and kissed my inner thigh. The zoo in my stomach was exploding and I felt heaven come to me.

" Jason" I moaned and my grip on his hairs tightened.

" Do you know what you are doing to me?" He looked up again and stood up connecting his lips with mine.

My hands held the lapels of his coat and pulled them off, he still hadn't changed. He went to kiss on my neck again and his hands at the hem of the dress. I unbuttoned his shirt and threw it across the hall. None of us dared to break the kiss, this was getting too intense. Jason pulled away, looked at me and bent down to throw me over his shoulder before going into the bedroom.

Where we made love through the night and slept in the arms of our loves.

How his mouth worked on my inner thigh-

" Cathedral are you listening?" Melissa, one of my co-workers asked and pulled me out of my fantasyland.

" Oh, I am so sorry, could you come again?" Ugrhh.. I keep zoning out from the present situations and take pleasure in my fantasy land, it had been happening for two days since that night.

" Mr Flegmen wanted you to look over these files for the finalisation on the report for the VC project." She said setting down the files on my table.

" I am so sorry, I have been distracted for a couple of hours and Thank you for bringing them in." I thanked her and she passed me a genuine smile before leaving.

I had mentally added these files on my to-do list today. But right now I had to go over the presentation I had created once again. I checked for any errors in the presentations, there were minor things that needed correction. I waited to be called in by Jason till then I started to look through the reports for finalisation. The telephone by my side started to ring and I picked it up.

" Mr Blake will see you now." The rude voice said and cut the call, oh, I do recognise her, she is his assistant, this is going to be so great to meet her one-to-one!

I picked up my files, laptop and the pen drive and proceeded towards Jason's cabin which was on top floor. I dragged myself all up there passing a smile to every employee I pass. There are only a few people who know my last name, other know me as an colleague who is responsible for the extinction of coffee in the cafeteria.

I saw no one at the reception and the whole floor was empty. I got closer to the door and knocked on it and quickly heard a "come in".

" Good morning Miss Weston" I heard Jason say and wondered why was he being so formal, I turned around to see around seven to eight people sitting on the round conference table while Jason was leaning against his desk. I recognised one as Rachel, Jason's ex girlfriend. I looked at him with shock. At that moment I could read Jason's mind and shook my head to it. I was not ready to give a freaking presentation in front of the head of departments. I was just about to say no when someone spoke.

" Miss Weston, we must not waste time. You may start with what you have." A stern man dressed firmly in his suit, probably in his forties said. I nodded my head closed my eyes and sucked a deep breathe in. I tightened the hold on my files and made way towards the table.

" Good morning everyone, I am Cathedral Weston and please forgive me for making you wait, now if you could give me a few more seconds to set up." I smiled at them and connected my laptop to the projector and started with the first slide.

" Gentlemen, as you can see these are the yearly report of amount spent on the salaries of employees......................"

I explained everything on the presentation as good as I could and with a dash of confidence. Many of them had several questions which I answered and explained going back into the presentation. It took me whole three hours from giving the presentation to answering questions. Now I stared at the men discussing something quietly and looked at Jason who smiled at me and mouthed " You did great Wes." I smiled back at him. I was exhausted and took a seat. An old man stood up and so did I.

" Very well, Miss, I must say you have great business potential. We approve of it." The old man said.

" Miss Weston, I would like to see you working on this project as soon as possible." Another man said, his bald head shone under the light.

" But sir, there is no architecture re-" I wanted to tell him the fact that this project was on hold just because of the financial and marketing department delay, the designs were completed and approved by the board members, and the heads themselves, but I was cut off.

" I know Miss Weston, but seeing your potential, you are onboard for the project. You start from the next week, sort out your work till then." He said and everyone started leaving the room.

" I wish my daughter was as talented and smart as you are." A man said who had quite an resemblance to Rachel and I could easily connect the dots.

" Sir, you are welcome, but not everyone is good at one thing."

So hypocritical of me! It was me who told Rachel on her face that she did not have a proper job!

I thanked everyone and received a couple of compliments. Jason closed the door as the last of the suits left.

" Okay, where did you learn to make and present like that?" Jason sounded amazed as he sat on his chair.

" I told you, I am not dumb, been around my father a lot and took some classes for business presentations too." I smirked. Jason started to come closer but his rude assistant entered without knocking and I took a step back.

" Stacy, do you mind knocking?" Jason said in an irritated voice.

" Sir, sorry but your two a.m. is here already and asking for you." She said throwing death glares at me.

" I'll leave then, have a good afternoon Stacy." I smiled at her fakely and took my leave from there.
