Craving CEO's Touch - English Version

Chapter 4

And he arrive ealrier than expected.

Nothing could go right for him this today. He woke up late because he overslept and he is running late on his early morning appointment with the managing director of one of the employment agency in which he expects that will advertise with the radio station. He feel bothered while dressing up. He paired up black slacks and blouse. The blouse was startlingly effective against his hair, reflecting the colour of his eyes, before snatching up his jacket. He studied himself in the mirror, frowning a little. Thank goodness for this newfound treasure of a shoes! Five foot five did not make for the usual males' height he envied so much. He is always the butt of joke with his brothers who are taller than him as tall as their father. But on the good side he has the fairiest complexion and creamiest skin, his hair is an envy of his brother being like naturally beach blown waves and sun kissed color plus his heart shape lip an envy even from his brother's girlfriends

Wrinkling his nose, he picked up his bag and fled. He was late enough already without wasting more time staring at his own reflection.

He was thankful enough that when he arrive at bus stop there was bus going directly to downtown area. With luck on his side there was no congestion of traffic. He can't help but think how they are going to fare up in the office once Zion Palmer arrives. He reach downtown area just in time

'Ggrrrr'  he grunts for the nth time. He is clearly annoyed with the prospect of working with Zion Palmer. He knows there will ne a lot of changes to happen and even though Drew doesnt say what to expect or what is the expectation he knows their office life will change drastically. He can only hope that Zion will have more job to do Manila before he can think of going here in Zamboanga. He need more space and time to think and prepare himself for any eventualities.

'What??? The hell Nevin, why do you need time to pepare? For what?' He scolded himself.

As usual, it's busy early morning in downtown area. It took him ten minutes walking to reach the employment agency. That was one thing, he thought, laughing at himself, at least being small meant that he can go thru the maze of the city easily in the middle of  a lot of people. He made an attractive picture; his slacks hug his waist and thigh perfectly with his open top button blouse. Several passers-by stopped to give him a second look, but Nevin didn't pay attention to them. He just arrive on time but he was disappointed nonetheless. The person he was to meet wasn't around, he has an urgent out of town meeting. It was so urgent that they weren't able to notify him right away. Nevin fought to quell his disappointment. He slave away to prepare for his proposal to promote the agency. However, he knows that in advertising confidence was everything, so he smiled and made another appointment.

He wasted the whole morning. It took him more than an hour riding jeepney to his work. As usual it was crowded, feeling unusually hot and bothered, he headed for the studio. Sue stopped him in the outer office.

'You have message.' She pulled a face. 'Mr. Ben called, he asked why his ads are shorter last night and if there is adjustment on his monthly pay because of this shorten ads.'

'Damn!' Nevin can't help but curse. 'I'll call him later. Anything else?'

Sue shook her head. 'There's no message for you but Drew wants to see you. He ask you to go diretly in his office the moment you arrive. Paul and the others are already there.'

'Okay. I'll be right there,' Nevin told her. Drew must have decided to hold a meeting following on from his visit to Manila maybe he has plan to show Mr Palmer that they can do it. He certainly hoped so.

He went in the office after he rested for a while. He can feel the tension between the people inside the office. Paul was standing by the door, he grab him to stay by his side. Drew office is small that's why they are crowded inside. It's hard to move around and he need to stand on tip toes to see what's infront.

'What's up? What are you trying to look for infront?' Paul ask me annoyingly, he is tall most probably knows what's infront. He is not easily pissed off but at the moment he is on his end. And he blow up.......

'So what's with you if I look infront? Why do you care if I do so? Can you stop your praising with your Mr. Magnificent Palmer. I know Drew has been doing all he can for all of you to like him but please spare me. I'm not going to sing praises for your Mr. Zion Palmer, I just hate his guts.' He churn his angry reply to Paul. He didnt expect the silence that follows after his loud heated outburst.
