    Post by Bill Compton Sat Jul 22, 2017 3:44 am

    After another TV interview speaking on behalf of the AVL and with the interruption from a group of Humans against Vampires group, which would not look good but Bill was used to managing the media and using it to his advantage. He would make several large donations to local charities and various other events which would gave Miss Jennings, the local news reporter something good to write and portrayed vampires in a far better light.

    Dropping down to sit at his desk, Bill unbuttoned the three buttons on his suit jacket and sat back into his recliner chair.

    He had ordered everyone to stay away and did not want to be disturbed. Looking across his desk he could see the vast amount of paperwork that he needed to go through and sign off on and sent back to the AVL within the week and the tributes from the Sheriff's within Louisiana and Northman was already late with his contribution.

    Hitting a button on the intercom, "Send in Kiara."

    Kiara had been in her room, having snuck dinner in there. Frankly hearing The King say he wanted to be alone suited her just fine. A nice quiet night, some food and maybe a movie and she could settle in for some actual sleep in an actual decent schedule. However just as she finished off the grits and shrimp the little intercom by her phone buzzed and one of the many servants gave her the news she hadn't been wanting to hear.

    "The King is requesting your presence in his office"

    She sighed. She lidded up the plate of food and quickly went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and get re-dressed. After all she couldn't meet the King in pajamas. She rushed to put on a nice burgandy red blouse, a black pencil skirt and some heels. She brushed her hair back to an appropriate position but left it down and loose. With her breath now minty and not smelling of shrimp and grits and her face refreshed she headed down the stairs and to the double doors of the King's office.

    Two knocks before she opened one door.

    "You asked for me sir?"

    "Northman, you are testing my patience right now and I do not appreciate having to run around to chase you for your tribute. I shall expect it by the end of the week." And he ended the call and sat the phone down on his desk.

    An email had already come through from the AVL and they were not happy about the recent news that had reached them and Bill had assured them that he would take care of it. When he heard a knock at the door, he looked up to see Kiara.

    "Yes. I did. Please come in, sit." And he waited until she did.

    Sitting back into his chair, his fingers laced and resting on his stomach. "How are the preparations going for next months charity function? I have several guests attending from Europe that I need catered for. Both accommodations and blood. What do you have available in the sweet range?"

    Kiara stepped into the office, closing the door behind her before sitting down. At her boss' questions she pulled out her phone. Not to be rude, but to actually answer him with accurate information. "Accommodations are all taken care off. Transportation and the sort. As for blood there are several donors, male and female, all in the O positive, B Positive and Negative and rare AB blood types available depending on taste. I am trying to secure A positive and Negative donors but finding some who are clean has been proving a bit tricky" she said before lowering her phone to look at Bill.

    "If however the guests are requiring more...exotic flavors there are a small handful of...exotic donors I can pull in for the night, provided their safety is still assured that is"

    Bill thought about her donors list for a moment. "Have several of each brought in, and I think it would be best to avoid the exotic donors for now. Two of the guests are known for draining their last donors. So have the donor security increased and make sure that camera's are stationed in every guest room. I want this place covered. Jessica will be gone during that week so there will be no need to have a security detail for her until she returns."

    Pushing out of his chair, he walked around the desk towards the fridge that had been installed in his office. Pulling out a bottle of blood from one of Kiara's selection and a bottle of beer. He went about warming the blood up and poured himself a glass.

    Returning to the desk, "I hear that this is your beverage of choice?" and sat it on the desk in front of her and he returned to his recliner chair.

    Kiara blinked, but did not turn down the beer. “thank you” she said as she took the bottle and twisted off the cap before taking a long drink. Tonight she’d probably gone with wine instead of beer but she’d never say no to a cold brew. She lifted her phone and began to one handed type up a few things.

    “I’ll increase security and let the guards know that Jessica is out for the week. I’ll also increase security inside and out, make sure we start and end the night with the same amount of donors alive” she added as she sent out messages to the people who needed to know.

    “I assume the guests will probably be bringing their own….” She was about to say ‘pets’ because that’s how most vampires referred to their human lovers or personal human donors that they brought over. “their own…guests as well? Shall I include proper refreshments for them?”

    "I can assume that most will and I would like this event to be catered for both human and vampire alike. And with the hate campaign against the vampires on the rise, I want all human attendees to be searched upon arrival and phones confiscated and returned at the end of the evening. No media shall be attending and I would like for it to remain that way."

    The last thing Bill needed was for another fiasco to reach the AVL and the media to make a farce out of this gathering.

    "And I know it will be your night off but I would like for you to attend as my guest and organizer. Louisiana is trying to establish new contacts and I would like this event to proceed without and problems."

    Kiara nodded, taking down more notes. “Noted. I’ll inform security to be extra vigilant when they search for cell phones” she said. She made no comment about her attending as a guest. It was part of her job and frankly it would allow her to keep a better eye on things and avoid any potential disasters. As she set the beer bottle down she looked up at the King.

    “I assume we shall be endeavoring to keep the guests in one room and perhaps the patio? We can set up for a more outdoorsy gathering if you prefer” she added as she knew Bill would probably shit a brick if he found other vampires or humans snooping around what was essentially his house.

    "Yes, one room and the patio. I already have guards stationed outside my office and do not wish for guests to go where they should not be allowed. Certain rooms will be off limits and I'm sure I don't need to tell you which Kiara."

    Several being on the first floor and rooms that included hers. Drinking from his glass of blood, he left his chair and walked around the desk to sit on the edge in front of Kiara.

    "Now is there anything else that I should know about during my absence?" he questioned and looked her over.

    Kiara put her phone away and shook her head as casual as ever. “No sir. Nothing you need to be concerned about” she said calmly. She wasn’t about to tell him about Jessica’s little stint pretending to be queen, or the fact Kiara had fired four employees for stealing as well as snooping and selling information to the tabloids. OR the fact that Eric Northman had come over several times, hinting in a not so subtle way how she was better off not working for Bill and instead putting her talents and her wolf blood to better use for him instead.

    Nope. She’d handled all those crisis on her own and they were over with. Sure Northman might be jilted that he couldn’t steal her away from Bill but that was something the vampires needed to work out between themselves and not involve her.

    Bill chose not to question her, he had hired her for a reason and if she said there was nothing he needed to be concerned about then he trusted that. Nodding, he picked up his blood and drank again until he had drained it and returned the glass to his desk.

    Sitting back against the desk, his arms folded across his chest as he sat in silence.

    "You wore your hair down...you should wear it down more often," he offered the polite suggestion.

    He could smell the shampoo that she used on her hair from here, strawberry and raspberry.

    She blinked, touching a few strands of hair near her ear. “Oh…well I’ll keep that in mind” she said calmly before polishing off the last bit of the beer and standing. “If theres nothing else sir, I’ll retire to my quarters for the night” she said calmly.

    Things had been…strange since her boss had returned from wherever. She’d find him sort of scrutinizing her, yet instead of criticizing whatever he was seeing in her, he’d throw some sort of innocent compliment. A color looked nice on her, or she’d done an excellent job with some forms, or tonight with her hair. She didn’t mind it. It was pleasant, and since it didn’t feel overly flirty or sexual she wasn’t instantly put out.

    "No. That is all."

    And he turned back to his desk to sit behind it and cleared his throat. "I know that you are in one of the guest bedrooms. I am having another larger room altered for a more permanent residence. The designer will need you to look over the plans in the next few days and tell her what you would need to make the room more comfortable for you."

    Opening the drawer, he slid a file across the desk towards Kiara. "She will be expecting your call."

    Kiara blinked, looking at him before the folder. She took it and inclined her head. “Thank you. I will speak to her shortly” she said before excusing herself from the office and back into the room she was living in. Only when she was within those walls did she sigh.

    “Damn you Northman…” she muttered. That stupidly tall vampire had called it. He had easily predicted how Bill would want her to take up more permanent residence in the mansion. That he wouldn’t want her to assume she still had control and freedom in her life.
