Chapter 38

Adam was over looking some business plans at the office in Johannesburg, when he heard the tone alert for text message received on his phone.

He didn't bother to check it immediately, probably one of those ad text messages he thought.

He had a meeting in ten minutes with a potential investor. There was a knock on the door and a tall brunette walked inside the office.

"Mr. Fitzgerald, Mr. Tony is here, shall I send him in?"

"Yes Barbra please do."

Adam stood up from behind his desk and straightened himself out before there a came a knock once more.

A small scrawny man entered the office. After extending his had forward and exchanging pleasantries with each other, Adam escorted him over to a seat on the far corner of the office.

Adam liked the idea of having one on one meeting in his own office, which held a corner lounge setting. He always found that doing business in a relaxing environment, always got him a good deal.

Mr. Tony took a seat opposite Adam. Adam then got up and sauntered over to his desk, collecting the folder with the quarterly results for Mr. Tony to look over.

He handed the manila folder to Mr. Tony and attained his seated once more across from Mr. Tony

While Mr. Tony was over looking the figures, Adam remembered that he received a text earlier. He removed the mobile from his trousers pocket and what he saw didn't exactly make him the calm man he was just a few seconds ago.

*text received* Maggie-

Does the invite still stand?

Before Adam could reply to the text Mr. Tony spoke. To tell the truth Adam couldn't concentrate on a word Mr. Tony was saying, his mind was constantly drifting to the text he received from Maggie. All he did was smile and try to look interested.

Much to Adams relief Mr. Tony didn't drag on too much, he asked to have a week or two just to go over the figures with his financial advisor. Soon the meeting was over and Adam couldn't wait to shut the door behind Mr. Tony. Finally he thought to himself.

Before Adam received this text from Maggie, he didn't want to text her to ask if things were okay for a fear that she would shoot him down again. He didn't expect her to initiate their next meeting as well, but he was beyond happy that she did.

*reply to* Maggie

Invite? You'll have to refresh my memory dear.

*received from* Maggie

About the project. I have a few things to take care of on Saturday before Christmas, but I should be free the afternoon after 13:00

*reply to * Maggie

Yeah that would be great. I could text you the address or should I pick you up13:30?

*received from* Maggie

Okay ☺ sorry about the other day.

*reply to* Maggie

It's cool. Don't worry about it. You're forgiven. Friends?

*received from* Maggie

Adam could barely contain himself fro the rest of the day. He felt like he was on top of the world. He was sated in happiness.
