I ended the call and went straight to the door screaming to Anna:
-I have to go! Bye!
Without hearing what she screamed back, I went straight to the elevator and back in my black Cadillac.
-Back to the company! Now!
*Personal note: Poor Maurice, I scream too much at him, I should be a little bit nicer to him.
-I have to be at the office in a few minutes. My most important client is coming and I don't even know who she is, you understand me, don't you?
-Surely boss! I know that you are stressed about this. You should try to calm down! You'll be great!
-Thank you Maurice!
I finally arrived at the company and quickly head to my office. Brian was expecting me there.
-Hi boss! You came just in time, she called again and Jenny said that she'll be here in an hour or so on.
-So soon? I'm not ready...I...
-Soon?! You should calm down and you'll see you're gonna be great. You have enough time to relax. Be yourself boss, she's gonna love you!
-If you say so... Jennifer!
-Yes, Andrea?!
-Call Donatella and tell her that I have to cancel the meeting. And any other meeting I have today.
-Sure. Anything else?
-No, that's all! Brian you could go too!
-Sure boss! Take your time!
Remained single in the office I tried to relax when something unexpected, as I wanted a bit earlier occurred...
-I'm back! Surprise!
-Nana?! I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow morning.
-I can go back to Paris if you want.
-Gosh, no! I didn't mean that! I'm glad you're back so soon and right in time for our up to come new celebrity customer.
-Why you didn't tell me about this on the phone?
-Because I was pretty busy, you know, Anna doesn't like to wait, no matter for what reason. And a phone conversation won't ever sound like an acceptable excuse for being late.
-Well, it isn't an acceptable excuse. However, Brian didn't tell you who the customer is, didn't he?
-Of course he didn't, you know him! But he said that is a movie star we both love and we'll never let her go. That made me think of...
-Meryl! But this would be insane, right? How could she come in our still at the beginning, not well known by celebrities company? This doesn't make any sense. But what if...
-This is what I was thinking of all day long! I almost implored Brian to tell me because this suspense is killing me! And apparently he likes to see me slowly dying of worry.
-Now I'm in too. I won't you worry on your own, if it will be helpful in any way. I couldn't imagine how it would be...Meryl, our new customer. That's crazy!
-You aren't helping! Yeah, it would be really insane, but I can't stop thinking of Brian's words and what a serious expression he had on his face.
-Brian? Serious?! These 2 words don't work together. We know him for over a year and he never ever had been serious.
-Exactly! That's way he made me take it serious. Really now, what if she'll enter this office in the next 30 minutes or an hour.
-Really...what if...
