It is finally Saturday and I am in no shape to deal with the big reveal tonight, but Jasper insisted that I attend. He also insisted in escorting me as well. The venue was so beautiful with hanging crystal chandeliers and floral garland. They really did an amazing job with making the first-floor lobby of Whitlock Enterprises, LLC into a different space.

"Wow, Bella you look amazing" said Rose who was walking up to me with her fiancé, Emmett McCarthy. My gown is a golden brown, sleeveless sheath with a V-neck sequin train that hugs my curves in all the right places.

"Thank you, Rose. You look amazing!" I exclaimed as I looked at black sequin gown with a deep V neck that she was wearing. Emmett wore a matching black tux with a gold tie and pocket square.

"Hello niece and future nephew, you both look great" came Jasper deep and sexy voice. He looks so cute in his grey tux with brown tie and square pocket. "Can I steal my date for a second?"

I blush in shock as he grabs my hand and starts slow dancing with on the makeshift dance floor.

"Jasper" I begin but he interrupts me.

"Bella, I need for you to follow my lead" I nod my head as he maneuvers me toward my supervisor Paul who is currently dancing with that slut, Lauren.

"Bel-la, I see what you have been up to all week" she snidely remarks as Jasper greets Paul.

"I need to speak with the both of you in private" I am shocked that he is actually doing this right now. "If you both would not mind joining the both of us…in my office."

It is quiet as all four of us pile into the elevator, Jasper gestures for the Paul and Lauren to exit first. I am the last to exit and that is when I see Jacob with two large security guards in the foyer in front of his reception desk.

"I am so disappointed in the both of you" says Jasper as he motions for the guards to stand behind them.

I knew that Lauren was involved but I seriously did not suspect Paul.

Apparently, Jasper had notified Jacob and he went and pack up their belongings from their offices and had the boxes on the floor next to his area.

Jasper continues speaking to them as I move closer to the altercation, "I see that this has been going on for over a year, about the same time that you fired our last Accounts Payable Accountant. So, I called her and Angela informed me that she had brought these errors to you, Paul and that you sent her up to my office."

Lauren picked this moment to open her big, fat mouth, "I am not sure why I am being questioned about this?"

I decided to speak up at that moment, "Oh please, Lau-ren you were implicate in everything. When I originally asked about these accounts Paul told me that you were actively working these accounts at the time."

"Shut up, Bel-la" was only come back as she wanted up to me.

I continue anyway because if she laid a hand on me it would be on and popping, "Didn't you had delegated these accounts to a temp, who was highly trained."

"Shut up Bel-la" said again. Normally she would have a fiery come back but not tonight. I look over at Jasper would has a proud smile on his face.

"If wasn't for the fact that Paul had to review and sign off on some of these documents, then you would be leaving us all by yourself."

According to Jessica, the department gossip, Lauren is a micromanager and is always double checking everyone's work, even seasoned veterans.

Before I could go into detail about calling the temp agency and discovering that the temp never worked for the agency or that Jessica had a secret account in the Virgin Islands, I blacked out.

The bitch punched me.

She actually punched me in the face.

At least that is what I was told when I came to in Jasper's arms. Yep that's right, I was spilled out on the couch in his office.

Apparently, Jasper caught me after I got hit and security grabbed Lauren. Since everyone was focused on us women, Paul tried to make a run for the stairwell but Jacob tackled him to ground and produced handcuffs.

Seemingly, Jacob works on the weekends for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and since this money was moved through states and internet channels.

Jasper retold all this to me as he held a cloth filled with ice to my eye.

"I am so proud of you, Bella" he whispers.

"Why? I all I did was get punched in the face" he laughs as I said it.

"You did more than that" he says.

"Can ask you a question" I really needed the answer to this.

He nods, "are we really on a date?"

He leans into me and my hearts skips a beat, "does this answer your question?"

He presses his lips to mine and I melt. I am shell-shocked but thankfully I quickly recover in time to kiss him back.

"Uh hmm" someone clears their throat behind him.

"Sir, the members of the board and the stakeholders are still downstairs and awaiting your yearly message of encouragement" says Jacob Black from the door with a huge, goofy smile on his face.

I have never seen him smile before. It looks good on him.

"Jacob, you know the speech, hell you help me right it, plus you represent the best of the best that this company has to offer. You got this!" He turns back to me and adds, "Plus I am busy making out with my date."

I smile back at him before lean in for a much awaited make out session. At least now I know that my crazy thoughts have become reality.
