DILEMMA

2

Stacey set her gaze on the gaint in front of her. This tall giantic figure that is owned my her father.The building was a skyscrapper.It had a shiny appearance one can hardly pass it without a quick glance or stare. Cars often stop by and just entertain themselves with the sight. Her father's company was viral practically everyone all over Houston,Texas and all over Texas knew the company.She checked her time and it was fifteen minutes past eight. She was fourty-five minutes behind time.She was never early for work. Either she is fifteen minutes behind time or thirty minutes behind time but today she was extremely late. The twenty five minutes druve to her father's Company had turned twenty. Her personal assistance sent her text on her way.
Your late...are you aware that you have an appointment with the Whites company? They have been waiting for you for the past thirty minutes. Hurry up! BTW Mr White is losing patient. He keeps on figeting now and then with his fist clenched. The old pot is not smiling !!! She remebered the urgent text she had read earlier on. She had totally forgotten about the appointment unless she wouldn't have slept like a pregnant fowl. Her poor alarm clock never gets obeyed when it rings it keeps on ringing till the battery dies. Oh poor thing. Two hefty men in black suits and sunshades stood by the automatic door
"Good morning madam!". They said collectively nodding their heads.
"Yeah". She said without looking at them. She walked in and the tall transparent  door closed itself. She thought of Mr.White
What does that old pot want now? I am not ready for a confrontation this morning?
She browse for some information on the net afterwards sorts some files for the appointment she wasn't ready for. She walks to the inner room besdies her office where all meetings were held. Immediately she steps in their eyes like guns were targated at her. Her heart throbbed in anxiety. They all had different moods some were exhausted,some were reliefed,some were happy while others were just angry like Mr. White. Mr  White and his co-workers were at one side of the conference table while her co-workers were on the other side with an empty middle seat. That middle seat was patiently waiting for her. Each person on the table had either a glass of water or a cup of coffee beside them looking formal has always. She sits facing Mr.White directly. The old pot set his angry gaze at her.
"Your late!".  Her personal assistant Lexi whispered in her ear
"I know!". She whispered back.
"Good day,sir". She stretched her hand to Mr.White.
"Save your greetings for later madam. Lateness is your policy.You are always so early for our appointment". He spoke sarcastically. She gentlely puts her hand down.
"Please pardon my latness. I had to drop my liitle off sister at school"This was her usual lie
"We have put up with this your unacceptable behaviour,Miss Johnson. And this is your usyal excuse every time". Mr. White was bald. He had a pale white skin. He had small strands of white hair on his bald scalp. He wore heavy spectacles.His ball protuded out from his body.
Mr.White always put a straight face on when it comes to bussiness dealings. She hardly sees him smiling. She remebered vividly the last time when her father's company and his last encountered. They were arguing about the investment of shares,extraction and excavation of oil. Which company produces oil more? The old pot always complaining about how she is not managing her father's company well like he did. The name of his compang was "The Oil Company Of The Whites". The both companies were seen as competitors in Houston,Texas.
Her father had once told her that Mr White was envious of his company and would do anthing to see it crash. He told her that when she was much younger. He was already preparing her for what she was going to face in the future.
"What's the matter on ground?". Stacey said
"This company works on a large scale production and it is likely to experience inflation. The fact that works on large scale production is the more reason you should avoid inflation from occuring". He paused for a while with his eyes piercing at her through the spectacles. 
"You don't know how to manage a conpany. There is wastage of resources instead of the company to progress it retrogress. When your father was the CEO of the company inflation never occured. He managed this company efficiently inflation never occured for once. Your father is a hardworking man. Your father is a man of steel. He is very inflential. A man of steel and affulence".
"Are you done talking?". Stacey stood up clapping her hand and laughing in an annoying manner. You are a pathetic old man who finds pleasure in sticking his nose in other people's bussiness. Let me think this through. Why are you questioning me about the wrongs of the bussiness when you have not even corrected yours. You are a rival to me and you are not meant to be bothered about my company's issues rather you are meant to use this as an opportunity to get your company to the top. I can see your plan here Mr.White you just want to make me angry and frustrated that's why you are comparing me to my  father and saying all those good things about him. But do you know what? I am not buying your plan i wish i never agreed to any of your silly appointment because your main aim is to spoil my mood. It obviously have nothing to do with the progress of my company or any negotiation.It is just to humilate my company". She purged out her mind at him.
"Sit down!". Lexi said in a loud whisper.
"I am not your mate misses. I can father you. I wouldn't sit here and watch you talk to me in this manner. You actually need a sense humour because you clearly have none. You are just a spoilt brat. It is not your fault. Its just your luck. A tender youth like you is acquiring a lot of wealth. You are the CEO  of the best oil company in Texas". He arranged his spectacles
"Save your father talk. And between me and you who lacks sense of humour? I give respect to those that respect themselves. Over the years has your company for once bit The Johnsons Oil Company? even up to this moment my company is in a critcal state. My company can still bit yours face down,you know? Cause we have the chrisma and power which your company can never have in ten years to come"Stacey said feeling like an achiever.
She just the tiger by the tail
Mr.White stood up speechless. He knew he had no atom of dignity left. He had in mind that the Johnson's company will always be ahead of his. He let the sad truth seep into his mind. He gives Stacey a long intense look. His silence saying a lot. His co-workers leave along with him like a matching army following their commander.
Stacey never imagined being in this position. It was unbearable arguing with a man she can call dad. This what life gives her.
I am meant to be shopping for some Aramani...,Louis Vioutton... or MK...and i am here arguimg with this old crook.
She often gets fed up off the company with the stress it imposes on her and her putting up with Mr.White but later she sees the prestige in it. The company gives her an important status and makes her a public figure even though before she was a public figure but now things are different she is even more noticed.
