Threads of Destiny

chapter 1

Why can't anyone convince her to have a meeting with me!! Huh!! How incompetent!! Freen is so angry that she could not stop her self from shouting to her employees. She has been dealing with this for the past few days. She needed to have a meeting with one of the best Architects in England, but sorry for her, she is being denied the meeting.

Do I need to deal with this by my self and just fire all of you!! Freen is looking at her staff furiously.

Get out all of you! Everyone immediately left her office scared.

Freen then sat down on her swivel chair, sighing deeply.

Why are you refusing me. Me. Does she not know who I am? Does she not know I really hate being rejected and left behind? Then her mind just left the office and her thoughts goes back to her childhood days once again.

Flashback:

Who gave you the permission to bully her? Don't you dare touch her again, or you'll answer to me. Got it. Then the bullies run off living Alex with this cute little girl. Alex noticed that she is sobbing.

Hey. I am Alex and you are? Alex extending her right hand to assist the girl to stand. She saw that her skirt is full of soil, so she immediately dusts it off and took her hanky and started to clean the girl's arms and legs. Then the girl flinched. Alex was confused. Then she saw a wound in her knees.

Sorry, I did not saw it immediately. May I know your name? Alex gave her a sweet smile.

I... I am... Am Patricia. Thank you for helping me. She said shyly

No worries. And from now on I will always make sure to protect you from them. Alex smiled as she made her promise to Patricia

They shook hands and Alex accompanied Patricia until they are already in the waiting area for their cars.

It started there, and after they were already so close to each other.

But, Alex did not saw it coming. Patrica stopped going to school. She was worried something happened to her. She even went and checked with those bullies if they did something to Patricia, but she failed. She even used her connections in school to check Patricia's home address, but to her dismay, the house was already closed and no one is there.

Alex got sad and just hope that one day she will meet Patricia again. She misses her so much that it hurts. She will always have a special place in her heart. No one can replace it. No one. Her only remembrance from Patricia is the bracelet she gave her as a symbol of their friendship. She said that as long as Alex will keep it, it will symbolize that she is still important to Alex and loves her dearly.

Alex promised Patricia that she will always have the bracelet with her no matter what. Alex went out of her way to commissioned a jewelry box maker and made her a customized small box for the bracelet. It has an engrave F&B design.

Freen's complete name is Alexandra Freen Chankimha Anantrukul.

Becky's complete name is Rebecca Patricia Armstrong

End of flashback

-------------------------------

Freen was brought back to her self when someone just barge to her office.

Why are you angry again with the staff? Nam is looking at her best friend, who obviously just came back to reality.

Why are you here? You are supposed to be in your office as well and working, right? Freen questions her as well.

Is this because of your Patricia again? Nam asked with serious face now.

Nam, please, just let me be. You know that she is the only one who can keep me sane. She is the only one who can take all the stress I have. Freen sighed.

Nam knew when it comes to Patricia, her best friend is sensitive and serious. She hopes that one day her best friend will reconnect with her special girl.

Freen deserves to be happy, too. Being literally alone and no family by her side, she knows how difficult it is for her best friend.

Then suddenly, Freen is back to her business mode.

Nam do you happen to know someone in RBA architectural firm? I really need to talk to Ms. Armstrong, the architect her self. I need to close this project that I am eyeing now. The owner only wants RBA to design his building.  Freen is really sounding worried.

Me, personally, I don't, but I can check with some of our England partners if they can assist us with it. Nam said.

Freen thanked her best friend and went back to her work. She needs to check her other projects and busy her self or else she'll be definitely thought of Patricia the whole day.

--------------------------------

Freen is really becoming frustrated since she still can't get an appointment with RBA. She badly needed her to partner with them for this multi-billion project she is eyeing.

Freen is in deep thoughts again why the CEO of RBA is still refusing to her request for a meeting.

Heidi, I need the plane now. Tell the pilot that we will fly to England today. Freen ordered her secretary.

Yes boss. I will call him right away.

Call nana as well and tell her to prepare me some clothes.

Noted boss.

Freen went back to her documents and started to sign and read and sign.

She will go to England to personally check with RBA what is the reason behind the refusal to meet her.

----------------------------

Freen did not mind having no sleep yet. She really wanted to go to RBA to personally talk with the CEO.

When she step out her car. Freen was so amaze with what she is seeing. The building design is so beautiful. That is why she is now really convinced why her client only wanted RBA to design his building.

Then, she walked directly inside the building. Went to the receptionist and introduced her self. Of course, the receptionist knew who she is.

The receptionist politely asked Freen to stay first at their guest lounge. She then called the CEO's secretary and informed her about Freen's presence.

Becky on the other hand is busy having a meeting with her design team. They have this new project that they really eager to close deal with.

She is the top sought architect in England and also in different countries. Including Thailand.

Then her secretary approached her and whispered to her that Ms. Chankimha is in the guest lounge waiting for her to accommodate her.

Can't you see I am busy right now? I need to finish this. If she really needs me, she'll wait. Let her wait. This is more important.

Okay Ma'am. I will inform the receptionist.

----------------------------------

Freen is feeling exhausted while waiting for the CEO to meet her. She is still hopeful that Ms. Armstrong will give her the chance to meet her. Freen is already getting irritated, but she is calming her self because she really needs their help. 

After a few more hours, still no Ms. Armstrong in sight. But Freen never backs down. She continued to wait. She even had the chance to update Heidi on what she needed to foresee with her other projects.
