Chapter nine Norman Osborn and Oscorp.
The face of the Oscorp building is modernistic and beautiful in a harsh way. The pattern that rested behind the glass wall were made to look like hexagons in a beehive.The company's name was illuminated in bright fluorescent light as it ran side ways and across the top of the building. The building it's self was black and built asymmetrical. My thoughts were interrupted by a hand falling on my shoulder and Harry began to speak in a confident tone and said, "You don't have to worry about my father firing you since you are now on my staff" My eyes turned back toward the building and my tone became wistful as I said, "That's not what I'm worried about. It's just a mystery how a beautiful building like this one could house so many dark secrets." He simply smiled and said, "Don't worry Licia after we take over Oscorp will have a turn around." A look of surprise appeared on my face as I said, "You want me to help run the company?" He looked at me as if I had just asked the dumbest question in the world and said' "I wouldn't dream of having anyone else as my Vice President". He saw the skeptical look in my eyes and continued on, "It's not just because your my girlfriend, it's because your a brilliant business woman and your skill with computers is unmatched. You could destroy a company without breaking a sweat that's how good you are." A smile broke on my face as I replied, "You are by far better at business than me and the way you bite back at Stark is great. You are also a brilliant engineer if I recall." He smirked and pulled out his phone and a hologram popped in front of me, it had the title clean energy plant. He started to explain and said,"This something I have been working on, it's designed to power the whole island of Manhattan with clean energy provided by electric eels.Stark called me at boarding school and asked to buy my designs he called them and I quote, "Brilliant but not as good as mine" The hologram spun in front of me and all of the details were so intricate. Some people thought Harry was the classic rich kid without a brain, that was the furthest thing from the truth though, Harry is a brilliant engineer and can build with the best of them. Our footsteps carried us past the twin horse fountains at the entrance and into the main lobby.It was one of the most exquisite parts of the company. It felt very modern and was supported by metallic silver beams. The reception desk sat in the middle of the room an automated system was in place to instruct people where they needed to go. There was a fountain that had a beautiful mermaid spilling water into the pool below roses floated in the water to give off a relaxing aroma. There were two marble staircases on either side of the room that would take you up to where the elevators were. All of the walls were made of glass and let natural light flood in the room not to mention it was a nice view. There was a monitor present on one of the walls and it gave updates on the company. There were also banners hanging about the room that read Oscorp Industries. My heels clicked against the marble floor and the sound echoed around the area. We walked a little ways foreword and all eyes fell on us, the ladies than began to primp and adjust and then began to drool all over the floor, this is called the Osborn affect.He simply ignored the stares and continued on to the private elevator and when we arrived he said, "Top floor please". The elevator began to move and I broke the silence and said, "All of those women were ogling you. Does that make you uncomfortable?" He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm used to it Licia. They were probably just wondering how you are always more beautiful than them". My eyes rolled as the elevator came to a halt and opened with a quiet ding, there before us stood the doors to Norman Osborn's office, it was time to face the music .
Harry did not even bother to knock on the door he simply threw it open, well so much for being inconspicuous. The look on Normans face was one of shock and disappointment and he said, "Harry it's good to see you, but would you please tell me what she's doing here." Harry's tone was sarcastic when he said, "You seem to know everything father why don't you tell me" Norman gritted his teeth and said, "Harry I'm not in the mood for disrespect" Well it looks like I'm going to have to diffuse the situation. My tone was confident as I said, "Harry has taken me on as his PA". Norman gave me a look that ripped right through me but quickly regained his composure and said, "Very well if you think it's necessary,she can stay in your office today while we get a space set up for the lovely young lady"The venom dripping off of those words was evident. He turned back to the window to observe the city and we made our way out of the office.
