Daylight (9) Re-Edited
Savannah's P. O. V.
"Ms. Miller, you have checked over the paperwork yes?"
I nodded, slightly ignoring Emerson, " Yes, I have to check it over. Everything looks good and well in order. "
"Good, I need you to make sure Levi comes in the right boardroom, and just so you know your father will be at the meeting."
My heart skipped a beat, "My father?"
"Yes, he has chosen to fly down to do the deal himself since he doesn't trust anyone in the company right now. So I suggest that you stay out of this meeting to stay away from any unwanted drama."
"Yes, yes of course," I said immediately anything to avoid my father, I didn't want to face him.
" Sir, Levi and King representatives are here and are on their way up to the boardroom."
"Go to your office Savannah, and draw up three copies of the merger agreement for each one of us to have."
Giving a nod I dash from his office into mine because I had a lot on my plate between Ray's birthday celebration and this merger. Even though it was a small gathering, I still didn't want to go because I knew Cage and Dove would be there. I hurried out of the shopping yesterday after purchasing Ray's gifts and clothes. It seems oppressive to be near Cage; it's as if the memories—which are really more like nightmares—are closing in on me.
"Ma'am, do you have the merger files ready? Emerson is asking for them."
Taking a deep breath I buzz back " Yes, I'll be in the boardroom soon. " Grabbing the printouts, I make my way to the bard room, just go in there avoid contact with Dad and walk out. It seems easy enough, now that I don't have to say there for the meeting.
"Ah, there she is. Cage and Chance I would like you to meet my amazing partner Savannah."
My heart dropped, Cage? Making eye contact with him my body filled with nerves, why?Why? Does he have to be everywhere?Looking towards my dad, he looked in awe of me, he looked pretty healthy now too. "Savannah?" He said barely above a whisper "Is that really you?"
Breaking eye contact with him, I hand the merger files to Emerson and say "Pleasure to meet both of you. Now if you excuse me,"
Walking out of the room all the confidence I had drained out of my body. My past was completely mixed into my present maybe even my future now. I don't know what was going to happen.
King's P. O. V
"What do you mean there's been a complication Chance?!" I said speaking into the phone harshly, it's been years since I saw the sun. Stupid UMDA ruined my life, but nothing big hurt me.
"Savannah, she's apart of Daylight industries," My heart skipped a beat, my angel she's smart, beautiful it's been years since I saw her.
"How the hell is that a complication?" Chance was good for nothing the smallest things threw him off, he thinks I don't know what he did to my little girl Alisha, or how cruel he was to Savannah. The UMDA thinks I'm a horrible person but when it comes to my family nothing is more important. I'm just using this asshole to keep my company running since Savannah went missing two years ago. It was nice to hear from her.
" King, she can do anything. She's the second in power in this company-"
" Has she don't anything so far to stop it?"
" No, she completely ignored me. "
" That's what you deserve."
"Now hurry up and carry on with the merger. Once we get this the last to get to bring down the UMDA. The money we will drain from this company will help us with our resources."
"Yes sir"
The days not far till I get to see Savannah again. The day where the UMDA is taken down and I will run the world.
Savannah's POV
The meeting has been going on for three hours, and I have been ordered to get everyone coffee. Emerson is slowly crossing his limits with me, first, he says I'm second in command then he orders me around like a servant when meetings come in. Knocking on the door, Emerson opens it " Come on in." Rolling my eyes at him, I place the coffee in front of each person, Cage liked black coffee, Dad liked his with a lot of sugar and Emerson liked regular coffee.
"You remembered?" Cage whispered to me.
Clenching my jaw, "I don't know what you mean Sir, I got the order and made them too as they were written down." I wasn't going to let him have the satisfaction of thinking I remembered his stupid coffee liking, out of the corner of my eye I saw dad staring at me, "What sir?"
"You're not even going to say hi to your own father?"
Taking a deep breath I smiled at him, "You are not my father. You haven't even tried to contact me in the past two years and now you saw me and you are asking me why I'm not talking to you."
"Savannah, how could I contact you when you left behind my back."
Looking away from him, I grabbed the signed merger files and said " I left because I had to, and looking at you, you seem perfectly fine without me, way better when I was there. So just think your daughter is dead and I'll be happy thinking my father is happy."
"Thank you for the files, I'll send them out to each of your companies. I'll take a leave." With one last glance at dad, I left running into my office throwing down the files on my desk I let out a big breath is don't even know I was holding in.
Life is so hard, I just want to go back to when I was little when everything was perfect.
Cage's POV
The board room was silent after Savannah left, she's changed a lot. She's confident, smart, knows what she wants and she isn't scared of anyone. Blake cleared his throat, after taking a sip of his coffee " That was the reason why she didn't join us. I can't say I apologize for her behavior because she has seen some really harsh things in her life since she moved her Chance. Just give her some time. She'll come around."
The old Savannah would have come around, not the new one I'm seeing. Looking down at my coffee I smile, there was no order taken, she remembered.
. . . Flashback . . .
Sitting down on the couch, I pull Savy down on my lap snuggling into her neck making her giggle "What's wrong?"
" I'm so tired. I've had two fights back to back, my head hurts so bad."
"Look at me."
Pulling my head out of her neck I look into her eyes, she holds onto my face gently "You don't have a concussion. I'll make some coffee for you. Maybe that'll help. How do you like it?"
"Black."
She scrunched your nose, " Ew, black coffee."
" It's good, don't judge me. " I said ticking her lightly making her jump out of my lap
" Okay, okay. I'll go to make your black coffee."
But before she could go, I pulled her back down into my lap, giving her a kiss.
"You're amazing,"
She blushed getting off my lap and walked into the kitchen.
. . .Present . . .
I shook my head, why do I keep thinking about her? What's wrong with me?
