So this is a new fanfic I have been working on, I know I haven't dropped anything new for you in a while so I decided to give you all a treat. Please review that will let me know if I should continue. And while the concept of this story is based off of one of my all time favorite books "Midnight Blue" I hope you enjoy my twist on it.

As always stay blessed.

Mercedes sighed heavily, she was walking so slow you would think she was headed to the execution chair. In a way she guessed she was. She was headed to the office of her Boss a.k.a her ex boyfriend's office. And after what she did to his apartment, she was sure she was going to be fired on the spot, the moment she opened the door.

She knew getting involved with her boss was a bad idea. But he was persistent at the time and she figured if he wanted a date that bad, then maybe things could work out. Boy was she wrong.

Mercedes Jones started working at D&M Cosmetics when she graduated from High school 8 years ago. She started working the front counter and after taking Night classes and getting great reviews on her job performance, she finally got to where she wanted to be and with the big promotion to Campaign Director she was met with the challenge to prove herself, as well as gaining the attention of the company's president.

Teddy "Theodore" Evans took one look at Mercedes in her curve hugging red christmas dress at the company party and knew he had to have her. He pursued her up until she gave in on Valentine's Day. She agreed to one date and he pulled out all the stops trying to impress her. He was handsome and at times he was funny except there was always something off. Something she just couldn't pinpoint. And yet she had been dating him for six months because she was afraid she would lose her job if they broke up before she proved herself to be an asset to the company.

It wasn't until two days ago, did she realize what it was about him that was off, she couldn't trust him as far as she could throw him. It was a typical day at work when Teddy's assistant came in asking Mercedes to go to Teddy's place. She said that she recieved a call from his landlord that there might have been some flooding and couldn't get a hold of Teddy. So grabbing the extra keys he went over there expecting to find a flood, the place wasn't flooded but what she did find was a trail of clothes on the floor, that led to his bedroom, she had a nagging pit in her stomach. Something was going on, something wasn't right.

Opening the door she gasped seeing him on top of a leggy [she assumed] blonde. The girl looked at her and smirked and she was taken back to her engagement party five years ago, when she searched for her fiancee in his childhood home and found him with his high school sweetheart, reliving their first time on his bed.

Hearing her gasp, Teddy looked behind him and caught eyes with Mercedes. "Get the hell out of here!"

She glanced at him tears falling from her eyes and turned to leave. Running to the front door she didn't stop until she got into her car and drove home. Calling her best friend and sister Quinn, who if it wasn't for her being 5 months pregnant would have ran over to his place and kicked his ass, she cried, not out of anger at losing him, but anger at herself for not ripping his dick off.

The next morning Mercedes was sitting in her office, trying not to cry out of utter humiliation and focus on her work when Teddy walked in. Wearing an all white armani suit he smirked at her and sighed sitting on her desk.

"Baby I am sorry for last night. You shouldn't have seen that."

Mercedes cut her eyes at him, as he moved behind her rubbing her shoulders. "Look I 25 years old, I am a very rich man, and look at me babe I am like sex on a fucking stick. Women throw themselves at me. Like literally throw themselves. I have needs and those needs need to be met and you are making me wait, so can you really blame me?"

Mercedes scoffed as she pulled away from him. "I am taking the rest of the day off."

With that she left her office and went home, or so everyone thought. Instead she went to Teddy's home, pulling out his most expensive and favorite tux, a Brunello Cucinelli Wool Peak-Lapel Tuxedo, and tossed it into the middle of his bed. Grabbing the bleach under his sink, she went to his room and poured the entire bottle over his tux and his black 100% Egyptian Cotton 1000 thread count sheets.

Once the bottle was was empty she stood there only feeling slightly better about what happened. So for good measure she called and had both his electric and his water shut off. And while Quinn told her how proud she was for not letting him walk all over her, there was still a nagging feeling in Mercedes heart. A feeling knowing that what she did was wrong and that she was going to have to pay for what she did.

So when she got to the office and her assistant and friend Tina said the boss wanted to see her, she sucked it up and held her head up high, as she did her walk to his office. Taking a breath she knocked on the door and when a voice said "come in", she said a small prayer and entered.

"You wanted to see me?"

She said as brown eyes met green. "You...aren't Teddy."

"No I am not, that is very perceptive of you Ms. Jones. I am Sam Evans and new acting President of this company."

"New?"

"Yes, I usually stay behind the scenes running the 10 other companies my father left. Clothing, Furniture and Jewelry stores all started by Evans Enterprises are running and making a profit. Every store making record breaking sales except this one, for the first time since my father started this company, M & D Cosmetics is in the red. Every department has failed to meet last year's numbers, all but your division."

She stared at the man in front of her, still unable to speak, but that was lost upon Sam as he continued to speak.

"Your Makeup line has brought in consecutive growing numbers, and that also goes for the discount store sales. Its remarkable really, so while I am getting rid of some of the departments I will say that for now your job is safe. I will expect a complete run down for your projects and an idea for how we can take the entire Cosmetic line and make them profitable like your other ones."

"Ye-, yes sir. I will have it for you by this afternoon."

"Have it for me by 12. We have a staff meeting then and I want you to share your ideas with everyone on our team."

Mercedes nodded and Sam turned his attention back to the file in his hand. "That is all."

Mercedes nodded again turning to the door, but Sam spoke again. "Oh and Ms. Jones, I saw the mess you made of my brother's apartment and I do hope you keep your personal affairs out of the office."

Mercedes turned towards him.
"Personal Affairs?"

Sam looked up at her. "Yes, Theodore has told me about your temper, how others around here have complained about you, how you have had multiple lovers in this office as well as how after my brother caught you cheating on him you destroyed his things. You are here because frankly whatever you are doing at work is working, but should your personal affairs ever arise again in this office, I will terminate you. That is all."

Mercedes was about to speak up but it was then Vice President of M & D Cosmetics Rachel Berry walked into the room.

The two were friends, until Rachel assumed Mercedes was sleeping her way to the top. She bit her tongue as Sam dismissed her again and walked angrily to her office. How dare that bastard tell all those vicious lies about her! Just then her door flew open and Teddy burst through the doors.

"You vindictive bitch! That mess you left in my place is grounds for termination and lets get this clear, I don't care how much you have done for this fucking place, the moment big brother Sammy is gone, so are you."

And with that, he barged out the door, leaving Mercedes even more upset than she was a moment ago.
