"Miss. Steele's office" Kate says

"Hello can I please speak to Miss. Anastasia Steele" the lady on the other end said

"I'm sorry Miss. Steele is away from the office until Monday, can I help you with something?" Kate asked

"No just have her call me once she gets in please" the lady said

"Who may I was is calling?" Kate asked

"This is Diana Marnane V.P of Events for Autism Speaks" Diana said

"Yes, Mrs. Marnane. Miss. Steele has received your email and has accepted your invite to be a guest speaker at the event your having in New York at the end of the month" Kate told her

"That's great news" Diana said

"She is actually in New York right now for a Art Gallery Auction event" Kate said

"Oh yes I hear that she would be hosting it" Diana said

"We are actually only hosting one day, but as soon as I speak with her I'll let her know you called" Kate said

"Thank you, have a nice day" Diana said and hung up.

Being Miss. Anastasia Steele's friend was one thing but bring her secretary and her personal assistant was another. Kate has known Anastasia for years, they have seen each other through the worst. The phone rings again taking Kate out of her train of thought

"Miss. Steele's office" Kate answered

"Hey Kate" Anastasia says

"Hey Ana, Mrs. Marnane just called and I told her that you accepted the invite" she told Ana

"Thanks, we just had a break time before going back into the gallery for the auction. I just wanted to check in" she said

"Everything is fine here Boss lady relax and enjoy the art. Hey are there any good looking guys?" Kate asked

"Well there is a business function being held across the hall you never what we could find" Ana answered laughing

"God find some one already" Kate almost yelled into the phone

"Bye Kate" Ana said

Ana was in New York and she loved visiting. The sights and the shopping always help her clear her head. She decided to check her phone while stepping out into the hall, 15 emails. Ana decided she would check them once she got to her hotel room. She looked up and saw a man, more beautiful then she had ever seen step out of the business function. His dark copper hair, wide shoulders, tall figure, but what stood out the most was his gray eyes. With one look from this man any women would drop her panties. She saw him looking at her so she turned away and keep walking down the hall to sitting area outside, Ana needed some fresh air after the long day she has been having.

"Anastasia Steele?" a mans voice called from behind her, she stood up and turned. Standing behind her a few feet away was Jack Hyde, he had once done a piece on her when she first started getting involved in charities and art.

" Mr. Hyde, how are you?" she asked walking towards him, as she got near she saw the same man from before standing next to him.

"Fine, how is everything going?" Jack asked

"It's been going well thank you for asking. I hope your wife is doing well" she said.

"Yes but she couldn't come" he told her. I bet she couldn't, Ana thought. Jack Hyde was known to be a ladies man, even after his marriage to his V.P Editor Elizabeth Fields.

"I'm sorry where are my manners. Christian this is a friend and well known art collector Anastasia Steele. Anastasia this is Christian Gray from Gray Enterprises Holdings, INC" Jack said

"Hello Miss. Steele, it's a pleasure to meet you" Christian said extending his hand to her

"Like wise Mr. Gray" she said smiling, just the touch of his hand made her blush. She pulled her hand back and looked down hoping he didn't catch that, she took a peek at him through her eye lashes and saw a faint of a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Damn he did see, she thought

"Well Mr. Hyde I have to get back the auction is about to begin. Mr. Gray again it was nice meeting you" she said before stepping around the men

"Miss. Steele" Christian said, she turned to look at him

"Until we meet again" he said with a hidden smirk

"Until then" she said and walked away.

Something about the dark haired girl intrigued him. Maybe her outfit, it suited her nicely. She had a high waisted black skirt, tucked in was a cream short sleeve shirt with ruffles in the front, a black thick belt, black pumps, gold accessories and her hair was pulled back in a bun with a few lose strands coming down. Get a handle on yourself Gray, women don't intrigue you. You intrigue them, he thought but he still wanted to know more. Knowing more is exactly what he was going to do.

Once the auction was done Ana made her way to her car, she usually always has a nice sleek sports car but today she decided to use the '13 Black Land Rover. She look over to the side and saw Christian getting into a big black SUV while a buzz cut man walked to the driver side and got it. Body guards, why does that not surprise me she thought. Making her way to the hotel she couldn't stop think about the gray eyed man. Something about him called for her attention but she was not one to give into a mans charm right off the back, he had to work for her attention but she had a feel he was use to getting his way. All men can me molded into what ever a women wants if she plays her cards right she thought as she gave the valet her car keys.

She phoned Kate to make sure everything was good at the office and then checked some emails before heading to bed. Tomorrow she was going for a early run before hitting the gym, she didn't need to be at the auction until 3 so she had time.

"Hello" Ana said once she answered her phone

"Miss. Steele, this is you wake up call" the lady at the front desk said

"Thank you" she and hung up, she walked over to the closet to change into some work out clothes. She put on some black shorts, a dark blue sports bra, and grabbed a black jacket on her way out along with her iPod. Stepping into the street she turned the music up and started her run.

Down the street in another hotel Christian was getting ready to work out with Jack Hyde. Little did they know that Jack and Ana were staying at the same hotel. Christian arrived at 9 on the dot and Jack was waiting for him in the lobby.

"Morning Christian, ready to sweat?" Jack asked with a smile

"Sure" Christian answered and they made their way to the fitting room.

"So many beautiful women in tight and short things, got to love it" Jack said licking his lips

"Not my style Jack you know that" Christian said looking uninterested as women sized him

"Well they are" Jack said pointing to the two blonds on the bikes

"Waste of time" Christian said, he knew that those women could not satisfy him the way he wanted. To many blonds already he needed a new change in his cycle, Maybe a brunette he thought thinking about Miss. Steele.

Ana was entering the hotel when the lady at the desk called her

"Miss. Steele" she said

"Yes" Ana answered

"There is a Miss. Kavanagh waiting for you in the sitting area" she said

"Thank you" Ana said and walked to Kate.

"Thought you were going to be in later" Ana said once she was near Kate

"I was but everything got done faster so I just came" Kate said giving Ana a hug

"Who did you leave Danny with?" Ana asked

"With Jose and his family, they love him" she said

"You're his friend and Danny is your kid, who wouldn't love him" Ana said

"Working out?" Kate asked

"Going to, joining me?" Ana asked with a smile

"Thank god I came prepared" Kate said taking her jacket off, under she was wearing work out red capri and a red tank top.

"Nice shoes" Ana said looking down, they both had on black and while running shoes

"Love your too, I see you haven't lost your fashion even when working out" Kate said

"After what you did, I am never under dressing again" Ana said smiling, she called the bell boy over and told him to take Kate's things to the room.

They enter the work out area and as always Kate looks around to see if there are any good looking guys.

"Stop looking around, lets go run" Ana says to her

"We are not at work so you cant boss me around" Kate says smiling at her

"Fine, go pay for your room Miss. Kavanagh" Ana said

"Your evil" Kate says, the two women laugh and make their way to the treadmill

A few feet behind them, Jack and Christian are using the equipment. Jack to do something to call attention to his arms so he was lifting weights. Christian was also lifting weights but he wasn't paying attention to the women eyeing him.

"Christian look, you see that blond on the treadmill? That's Anastasia Steele's assistant, Kate something" Jack said, but there was no Miss. Steele to be found. Maybe her assistant is staying her and she is some where else he thought, even though he knows that is a stupid assumption if he han an assistant he would stay in the same hotel. Before he could think of something Ana walked back to the treadmill next to her assistant. She looked beautiful, What? Christian get a hold of your self. She is just another women, maybe you can get her to sign and have some fun with her. That's what women are made for fun, nothing more he thought as he looked at her back. She was facing away from him and he was being pulled to her with out knowing.

"So what time do we have to be at the gallery?" Kate asked

"3pm" Ana answered, they were already sweating and in desperate need of something to drink. Ana forgot her bottle of water in the room and Kate had just got there so none of them came prepared.

"Let's get some water" Ana said

"Almost done" Kate said finishing her last run. They stepped off and made their way to the back.

"I'm going to the bathroom for a moment, meet you are the bar" Kate told her

"Ok, have your phone on you" Ana told her, this afternoon her company was holding the gallery auction. She was almost at the bar when she heard her name being called, her head snapped up and saw Mr. Hyde.

"Hello Mr. Hyde good morning" she said, she looked behind him and sitting on a chair lifting weights was none other then Mr. Christian Grey. God that man is a god, hot no matter what he is doing she thought.

"Good Morning Mr. Grey" she said getting his attention

"Good Morning Miss. Steele" he said with a small smile.

"Ana, are you staying here?" Hyde asked

"Yes I am, are you?" she pointed to both men

"I am but Christian is staying down the street" Hyde said

"Oh that's nice" she said giving both of them a smile.

"Ana, I have…" Kate cut her self off when she saw the two men

"Kate you remember Mr. Hyde and this is Mr. Grey" Ana said

"Hello" she said nodding to them

"Kate it is a pleasure to see you again" Hyde said

"Like wise Mr. Hyde, Ana they are calling from the gallery the staff just got there and I think we might have some damage control to do" Kate said looking at Ana, she knew that damage control was what she did best but for anyone that caused it, they would wish they died. Christian was the change in her mood as soon as Kate finished talking, A women in control, this I have to see he thought.

"Excuse me gentlemen I have work to do" Ana said and made her way out

"Miss. Steele" Christian called her

"Yes Mr. Grey" she said turning back

"My sisters birthday is coming up and she loves art, could I sit in on your auction today" he said, she knew it wasn't a question.

"Sure Mr. Grey I would have them reserve a sit for you. It starts at 3 at the Woolworth Building" she said and walked away

"Grey what are you doing, Mia's birthday is in two months" Jack said

"I want to get her something early" he answered still looking at Ana leaving. Christian always likes his women to do what he says, he likes to control them, they have to submit to him in everything inside of the home and outside. But Miss. Steele was different, she is shy but stood her ground. The change of attitude when her employees did something wrong shows that she has character. The interest in her just got higher and higher. Miss. Anastasia Steele was different and challenging, as a man he loves a challenge and he has never lost.
