Illicit Affair (Published With Etluxocpub)

16 - You

Days went in a flurry of activities. It was decided that team to handle the chosen account is Finance Dept. when it was announced I saw the bitch on CEO floor. There she is again talking to that guy, and they are even in an intimate moment. All of the meeting room are now being used as discussion on which one of the proposal to choose. I want that resort to be chosen, even Hunter want it saying that the resort would be the company's resort investment and first in the said area. I am glad that Hunter is being passionate in helping me.

Aimee's one month stay in the Philippines is almost over and she hasn't seen the countryside. She is also rooting the resort to be chosen. Aimee even though has flirty attitude is good t her work. Even Miss E is impressed how she handle Hunter's paper works single handedly.

Friday come and there is palpable excitement in the air. All the files of the chosen project has been handed over earlier and it will be presented in the board meeting. I am hopeful that the chosen one will be a promising investment at the same time will carry our company's name to new level.

I let Hunter handle the board meeting and he did well. It was a consensus decision. Everyone agrees that our company is to invest in the resort hotel. It was agreed upon to set up a business with the owner of the resort hotel the soonest possible.

I tasked the finance team to be the head the project planning which will include connecting with the said company and a lot of research. When all this done, and the project proposal is finish then it's time to present it to company with site visit.

"I am glad that we have the same choice and I hope that we will be in agreement as we gather information about the company and as we develop the plan." I happily told them. "Any concern regarding this matter please don't hesitate to forward it to us."

The meeting end in happy tone and that made my day. I am so proud how Hunter deals with board members question and all of the employee queries regarding on how to go about the planning.

"Hunter you can proceed to contact the resort hotel owner and tell them that we will present to them the proposal in a month time." I told Hunter. "Aimee has to extend her stay if you want to keep her as your secretary or she has to be on vacation mode starting on Monday."

"We already talk, and she agreed to stay with me until the presentation of this project and will take a vacation when we go site visit." Hunter said to me.

"I'm glad she is agreeable, don't let her worry. Tell her I'll cover for accommodation while she is staying here in the Philippines and vacation is on me too. She has been of great help with you." I told Hunter. I really appreciate Aimee's dedication with work as she does her work properly.

"She loves what she does and being here and away from her family is such a treat to her already." Hunter told me.

I'm glad that Aimee has agreed to extend her stay, and I wonder what she going to do when goes back to America and what's keeping her from going back? This is in my thought as I go back to my office.

For the next whole month the company has been busy with building of the proposal with the resort hotel. This is very important to me as this will be my first major investment and I don't want to fail. I want to show the board members that I made the right choice in keeping Hunter as my finance advisor and I can make good decision as the CEO.

The bitch prove to be good in her work too. She has gathered more than enough information abut the company and has build a feasible proposal. This week's schedule is a feasibility report for the said endeavor of the company.

It is time for the bitch to present. I'm keeping myself professional at all times when I am dealing with this bitch but my resentment to her is rooted deeply. I can't do anything so far as she had proven a great asset in the company. Kicking her out for some random issue will prove how pickled mìnded I am.

"..... choosing this resort hotel proves that our company will be pioneering in investing in such endeavor specially that this place is flock with both international and local tourist, but the offer of better resort hotel accommodation is lacking or none at all."

Presenting her feasibility reports proves that she did her assignment diligently. The board member is agreeable to pursue the said project. In line with this I scheduled for the presentation of business proposal before showing it to the resort hotel owner. The collaboration will take at the resort hotel as we are going to visit the area.

"Good job guys!" I told the finance team as they end their presentation. "I expect for you tentative business proposal by the Friday next week so we can finalize it and we can have the site visit. I'm extending the site visit to the board members and key essential member of the finance team."

"The company has offered us an all expense paid travel to and for to their site, we just need to inform them a week ahead so they can arrange our stay there properly." Hunter informed us.

There was evident glee after Hunter made the announcement for the free vacation. I think my employee deserve these kind of compensation as they have been working diligently.

"Miss E, I'll give you detail who will come with the site visit. Please contact the board member and confirm from them who wants to join us." I asked Miss E to handle the confirmation.

With this in mind with the team, they have been working endlessly to finish the business proposal. I hope the business proposal they will come will be beneficial to both company.

The finance team prove to be good when they presented their proposal. They have covered all essential point that need to cover and included more to be beneficial to both the company and clientele. When I accepted the proposal there was a shout of joy in the board meeting and I can see how happy they are. Who wouldn't be if it include a free week vacation in one of promising site?

The entire week prior our departure was a flurry of activities. The excitement is palpable in the air. Even I was excited for the site visit. I think we all deserve this working vacation. And I am glad we have accepted this resort hotel investment.

Being busy for the whole preparing for this business venture, I have been neglecting Hunter. Even we stayed in the same house we barely had time to talk as we are so tired when we reach home after work. And when we are in the company, we spend our time mostly going over the business proposal or meting other ventures that we need to handle. I am glad for this weeklong vacation to spend with Hunter to catch up with what's happening with us. But I am dreading to be alone with him for intimate moment that's why I am glad that we are both too tired to pay attention for such. Since those encounters with Zander I have been having second thoughts about my feeling with Hunter. Remembering Zander's distraught look make me sad for him. I have spent more time thinking about zander that thinking about Hunter.

We arrive at the resort hotel, and we are amaze by the view of the seaside. The sand are fine and there is a lagoon nearby. I can hear the crashing of the waves from the room I was designated to. My mind is wondering when I remembered that this place is hometown of Zander's mom. Why do I think about Zander when my boyfriend is in the shower? As I was looking out the glass wall, I saw a familiar person looking at the beach. I know that back side, it is etched in my mind as I have watch it countless time. Oh my god what's with me, why I do see Zander everywhere. Then the man turned, and it is really Zander.

"Zander!"
