GO AHEAD. SHOOT ME. But people enjoyed M&M so much I decided to make a little story out of it. It isn't most likely what's in mind. It's not going to be all fluffy. But for once I have a story planned out, not just making it up as I go FROM THE BEGINNING! 'Tis a miracle.

PAGE BREAK

"I need that on my desk pronto-"

"Ms. Morgan you're needed in Mr. Solomon's office." I rose from my seat and briskly I walked to Mr. Solomon's office hoping this would be a promotion or something. I was positive it had to be good news; I had been working profusely and everything was orderly and on time, if not ahead of time done. I gave myself a quick once over in a window; I smoothed my pencil skirt and made sure there were no wrinkles in my cuffed shirt. I took a breath and then walked and turned into Mr. Solomon's office.

"Ms. Morgan, thank you for coming so quickly."

"With pleasure," I replied giving a sweet smile. Everyone knows I don't smile, but to a superior who could change my position - sucking up was majorly involved.

"Please take a seat next to Mr. Goode." It was then that I realized that I was not alone, but a co-worker was in the room. I gave him a small smile and in return he gave a tight lined smile. Oh… oh boy. He was under me and I didn't want him bringing me down; and that grimace - he knew me by me being a total complete bitch.

"Well I called both of you here because Ms. Morgan is in need to go to Italy-" I raised my eyebrow to question that statement but he shot me down with a look, "and is in need of a translator. Now as much as I would love to hire someone she would most likely have them quitting within an hour." I glared at Mr. Solomon as if that would retract his comment, however true it may be. "Now Mr. Goode, it has come to my attention that you once resided in Italy?"

"Yes, Sir," he responded not once looking at me since my smile.

"Now, I realize that you are assistant of an assistant but you will be working directly under Morgan for the next week and a half. It has also come to my attention that you have not seen your family in a measureable amount of time due to a certain someone, so after the business meeting I will allow you both a week vacation to relax." I was about to protest but he shot me down with another look. I sure didn't want to vacation, but if this Goode guy wanted to then let him. "I'm sure you could visit your family within that time Mr. Goode, and I'm positive that Ms. Morgan will be able to make calls for reservation. Now you leave in two days; I suggest you get to know each other, you'll be spending a lot of time together." Mr. Solomon gave me a pointed look which I returned with a smile. Goode opened the door but looked to his side as he held it open for me.

"Thank you, have a great day," I called over my shoulder as I turned a tad to flash him a smile. I turned on my heel and walked out of the office.

Who does he think he is assigning me jobs I haven't even been told of?

I turned the corner back to my office and saw Liz my assistant at her desk furiously typing. "Get ready to make travel plans," I barked at her as I turned into my office.

"Ms. Morgan I realize that you don't like this deal but you're going to have to do it." I turned around surprised to see Mr. Goode standing in my doorway.

"Mr… uh Goode was it? No matter, what are you doing here," I demanded as I walked around my desk to sit in my chair. Although my desk was tidy I nudged my papers so that they were exactly on top of each other before giving him a look and turning to my computer.

"You don't even know my name?" I heard him scoff I could imagine disbelief on his face. No I knew this boy, just not his name. "Well whatever. I get you don't want me to go but can't you at least go on the same plane as me?" he asked. This time I was confused.

"What are you talking about Goode?" I demanded as I turned around to give him a questioning look.

"You're making travel plans? I'm sure Mr. Solomon has already made them." I realized he didn't know that I wasn't planning on staying for my so called vacation. I didn't want a stack of work so I preferred to come home as soon as possible.

"Oh, ooooohhhhh oh no, Mr. Goode," I gave a tsking chuckle. "No I will not be accompanying you on the so called 'vacation'. I will return to the States as soon as the business meeting is over. The vacation was for you to reacquaint yourself with your family." I gave him a look daring him to disagree. "I would much rather schedule a plane back rather than schedule hotels." I turned back to my computer to start typing away. Celio Nanne requested a meeting and I realized that Mr. Solomon must've somehow learned about this. I finished my reply when I realized that Mr. Goode hadn't left yet.

"Can I do anything for you Mr. Goode?" I harshly asked as I turned around on him once again. I hated not getting ahead and wasting time, and he was making it awkward.

"I don't understand you, I-"

"You don't have to. You may exit," I dismissed as I turned around.

"Ms. Morgan, Mr. Solomon has rejected your credit card!" Blinking I turned my attention to Liz.

"Excuse me? Please do explain."

"W-well I was online trying to use your credit card and it says it has been exterminated." I knew Liz was scared of me but I never knew her to stutter; which meant she knew how mad I was.

"I want a meeting with Mr. Solomon this instant," I hissed rising from my desk and walking towards the door.

"Ms. Morgan-"

"What do you want kid!" I demanded as I turned on him.

"Mr. Solomon explained that you are to remain with me so he cancelled your credit card and gave me this-" he pulled out a business credit card. "He told me that you would be trying to cancel your vacation so I was to make sure you stayed in Italy."

"And you stupidly agreed?" I asked flabbergasted. He took a quick glance to his right. "Do you have a death wish?" I hissed grabbing the card. "Mrs. Sutton please use this card to make arrangements," I ordered walking past him to hand the card to Liz.

"It's not activated."

Okay this boy was seriously starting to piss. Me. Off.

"When will it be activated?" I asked through grit teeth. I didn't have to turn around to know he was watching me warily.

"He didn't tell me, but I suppose once our trip starts."

"Alright" I replied turning around. "I'll have Liz hook it up once we get on the trip. Make a photocopy of this card," I told Liz handing her the card. She immediately went to the printer.

"Why don't you like vacations? Take that back, when was the last time you had a vacation?" he pressed.

"Look, Goode. Both Solomon and you seem to want me to go on this trip. Now I have to make this trip either way, but you, you don't have too. I can have you out of here like this-" I snapped my fingers. Hey, it's a classic. "Now quit asking questions and do as I say, it'll make your worthless presence for something." He looked shocked as I turned into my office. Luckily he was outside and I was able to shut the door in his face with a tight smile.

I walked back to my computer to see I had another email. Reply from Celio Nanne. He must have someone on the computer twenty-four seven to have that quick of a reply.

Ms. Morgan

I was surprised to learn from Mr. Solomon that there will be another man accompanying you, especially that that man was your husband. I hope this does remain

business like and

My eyes saw red.

My mind thought murder.

I was going to kill Mr. Solomon for this.
