TRUST

Chapter thirty one

Can just stared at Deren, he wasn't sure he heard her right, or maybe, he just didn't want to hear what she said.

"No!" he stated adamantly.

She sighed "Can, please listen first before you decide." 

"I know what I will decide. I do not want to work with Ceyda nor do I want her in my office ever again."

"I understand. But, it is Gamze who is in charge of this account. It is for new mountain climbing equipment. Equipment she says will make it safer for all climbers especially those who are less experienced."

"Good for her, she deserves a chance after working with that woman."

"Can!" she was now getting discouraged, maybe he wouldn't listen "Ceyda will not be involved, Gamze and a representative from the company who makes the equipment will be involved."

Can laughed "Do you really think Ceyda will let that happen?"

"Any involvement she has is only about the final say on the ad, but Gamze has been told she will not be allowed at the agency."

Can thought for a moment "Let's talk to Sanem when she comes back and get her thoughts. It seems like you want this campaign."

"Evet, yes, I do. It will mean a lot for the agency. I know we are doing better but we still could use another big name account."

"I understand but Compass Sports comes with Ceyda, if it only this one time we will think about it. When Sanem gets back, both of you come in here and we will discuss this."

"Thank you, Can. I think it would benefit the agency." She stood, cleaned up the mess from their lunch and walked out.

Can turned his chair to look out the window, he wasn't sure he wanted to take a chance that Ceyda wouldn't push her way in but Deren was right, they needed a big account ad to put them back on top. 

He picked up a couple of other information packets for companies looking for ad bids. He was surprised there was one from France, he would have to look up the company before he reviewed what would need to be done before bidding. He was still deep in thought when a knock came at the door and Deren and Sanem walked in. Sanem looked like she had been called to the principal's office. After they sat down, Can told Deren to give the information of the new ad campaign to Sanem. 

He watched his wife's face, it went from being surprised, to anger and finally disgust. Deren would have her hands full trying to convince her that it would be a good idea to take this campaign. After Deren finished, they all sat there in silence, Sanem opened her mouth to say something then stopped, she did this several times before she finally spoke.

"Let' set up a meeting with just Gamze at first. Can you know her well enough to know if she is telling the truth about Ceyda." Can was surprised "After we meet with her then we can make a decision about the campaign."

Can sat in shock, his wife always surprised him. Deren sat with a smile on her face.

"I will call her and see if she can come in tomorrow, first thing, we can get it over with and move on if we need to. Thank you Sanem, I know this is a hard decision for you."

"It is, but I like Gamze. The only thing is I want Emre, Leyla and CeyCey in the meeting."

"CeyCey! Why?" asked Deren, Can smiled he knew his wife trusted CeyCey's judgement, more than ever now, because he had warned her several times about Yigit.

Sanem simply said "I trust his judgement about people."

Deren nodded and left the room.
