Wilson Havdanner - Edited

A/N Okay, here's another part. Again, just a name from my crazy brain, please don't take offence at anything. So, this one's a little different from the previous parts. Wilson Havdanner owns an architecture firm in New York City, New York Design Architects (that's a real company, but I'm just using the name, I don't know who owns it). I won't say anything else or I'll spoil it. Oh, also in this one, Annabeth and Percy are married, they're 21 at the beginning. Anyways. On to the story.

I sat at the desk in my office - designed by me, of course - waiting for Annabeth Jackson to come in. She was a possible candidate to be on technical staff, my secretary had talked to her and she was now coming in for an interview. There was a knock at the door. "Come in!" I called. The door opened and a young women, about 20 years old came in. She had blond princess-like curls that were pulled back in a high ponytail. "Annabeth Jackson, I presume?" I said, standing from my desk and holding out my hand. 

"Yes, and you're Mr. Havdanner?" She answered shaking my hand. 

"Yes, yes, take a seat," I replied. "So, if you get the job, you will be making sure the technical staff can do their job. Assisting them as they need, perhaps taking phone calls-" 

"Hold on a minute," Annabeth interrupted. "When I agreed to come to this interview, I was informed that the job would be hands on, that I would actually be doing something." 

"Well, it seems you were misinformed. We would never allow women to do something like that, and- " I start talking before she interrupts. Again. 

"Well then, Mr. Havdanner, I believe I am done here. I shall simply start my own firm. I'll see you again when you're begging to buy it from me because your company is ruined." With that, she gathers her things and walks out the door.

-----Shelly will take you to four-ish years later-----

I walk through the doors of Olympus Architecture, hoping against hope that the C.E.O.s - the company is so successful that they have multiple - will be reasonable and let me buy the firm. I mean, they wouldn't have agreed to meet otherwise, right? Since, Olympus Architecture was started, my company has gone down in business. Far  down. We're on the brink of ruin, this new company has been stealing all of our jobs. Which was why I arranged to meet with the head C.E.O. I step out the elevator and walk to the door of the C.E.O.s office. Without bothering to look at the name on the plate outside the door I knock. "Come in!" Rings from inside the room. I open the door and step in to the office. When I am inside I stare at the person at the desk, a look of complete shock written across my face as I recognize her.

"Ah, Mr. Havdanner." Annabeth Jackson says. "I must say, I expected it to take at least five years for you to want my company, but it's only been four and a half. Now, I will have someone show you out. Have a good day." 

"But, but-" I stammer, as she stares at me, one eyebrow raised. "But, I'm here to discuss you selling, which you have to do, because a woman can't manage a company." I manage. 

She raises the other eyebrow. "I was never intending to sell, nor will I ever, particularly to a misogynist.  I merely invited you here to see the look on your face when you realized a woman bested you. Perhaps I will not have someone see you out." She returns to the papers on her desk.

 Ten minutes go by before a little girl, maybe three years old, with black curly hair and grey eyes, appears at the door. "Mommy?" Annabeth looks up, and upon seeing me, she makes a face of disgust, before turning to the girl. "Hello, Zoe." She says, picking the girl up and swinging her onto her hip. "Where's your Daddy?" The girl giggles. "I left him with Lukie at the front desk" "Zoe Bianca," Annabeth starts before the appearance of a man, with messy black hair and sea green eyes at the door way cuts her off. "Percy!" She takes the thing he's carrying and kisses him quickly. I realize the thing is a kid, about one year, with blond hair and bright, sea green eyes. "Hello Lukie," she coos at the baby who starts asking to get down. She lets him down and he toddles over to the three year old and hugs her. I finally take my leave, and nobody notices as I slip out the door.

A/N Yay! Another chapter! Sorry, that one was a little short, but hey, it's an update. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed. Please give me feedback, did you like how I did it, what could I do better, that kind of thing. Bye for now!
