Return of the Billionaire

One

This is the most busiest day of my life.

You know why? Of course not!

Well, it is really.

I've been finishing a report for this new client that will show later.

I've been working on this last two weeks and my boss was not satisfied. What can I do? I will create a new one and still he's not satisfied.

I barely remember what he said to me last time, "Don't ever show up in front of me if this report is not perfect!" Perfect!?! Really?¡ Then throw the files in front of me. I work hard on that. So so so very hard. I didn't even had enough sleep in this weeks. The bags under my eyes are very visible now.

His sudden behavior came out again. He's like that whenever there is a partnership he don't want to lose.

Being a secretary of a CEO is never been easy because you will be the one who will create a report if there is a new client, and you will take down notes if a client show their reports, and you will be the one to schedule your boss to have a meeting with the other empires, and you will be the one who will remind your boss' if there is any special occasions in the city. And, lastly, I will be the one who will get tired and work harder for me to survive my work.

And yesterday, he's finally satisfied on my work because his wife was there. Lucky me. Yes, he's afraid of his wife and it's because I'm the favorite worker of his wife. And today, we will present my work on our new client.

I heard things at my co-workers that our new client is a workaholic man and his business is one of the the biggest empire in the world. That's why Mr. Kenton, my boss, was very cold in these past weeks. And it's because he don't want to lose this opportunity and so do I.

I placed two files on the brown long wooden table and prepare the projector for the presentation later.

Now, everything is ready.

If this presentation didn't work, well, I'm sure that I will pack my things later.

Mr. Kenton is now sitting on the very first seat on the left side and checking his Rolex watch every minute.

"Is everything all right, sir?" I managed to asked even though I know it's not. Curse my big mouth!

"Yes." Then he sighed.

Five hours passed and the client is still not here. Mr. Kenton is still checking his watch every minute. Poor old man.

Whilst, I, became bored and play my fingers without any nail polish on my nails. I don't have any time for myself to do a woman things that a woman should do. My hair now is reaching my waist and thinking to cut it someday.

A sighed came out from me as I became impatient because the client is not here.

I must be thankful because I could spend more time to practice on what will I say but no. Because I've been used to this things.

Greet your client. Check.

Say you're name to them then shake their hands. Check.

Your boss will present your work. Check.

Take down notes on the comments of your client. Check.

Then bid your bye and say thank you. Check.

Then shake their hands with a smile again. Check.

I am doing this things three years from now and of course I have the confidence to act professionally.

Okay. I checked my watch. Gush, it's 4:30 and the client is still not here. The assigned time is 11:30! Hell, this client is getting on my nerves.

Like I said, awhile ago, I need to act professionally and control is within me.

A ring from Mr. Kenton's phone break the silence.

A loud sigh came from him. "Okay. I understand."

Mr. Kenton stood from his seat. "Pack this things and make sure this room is clean when you leave."

"What?" Oops. Wrong word. Stupid mouth. "I mean is there anything wrong, sir?" I bit my lower lip afterwards.

"No. Our client postponed his meeting with us because there's a very important event he needs to attend." He said, firmly but the pissness is visible from his face because it looks like he readied so badly this day. Just like me.

Poor us!

I didn't uttered a word. I've worked hard on this report and didn't get enough sleep because of this report. I just can't believe that the client didn't go to the assigned day and time. He must text and called sooner! Not letting us wait for five hours then later say he can't go.

"It's okay, Emmy. You worked very hard. Don't worry there will be always tomorrow." He assured me. I just smiled at him then nod my head. Even sometimes this old man is pain in the ass he still have a heart and making sure his workers are doing great.

"I will go now and don't forget tomorrow is a big day for all of us." He smiled and I give the smile back. Then he exited the room.

A loud sighed came from me as I heard the door closed. I looked at the files I've done. The files I've pulled an all-nighter for that. Then at the laptop where my report is. The report that I've pulled an all-nighter too. The report I've worked hard just to get this partnership. Because of them I didn't get enough sleep and quite didn't eat well.

An upset sigh came out from me then do what I was told. I put the projector and its chords on its bag and the laptop too. Then I get the files.

If tomorrow is really a big day then we need to get this partnership for us to have a big time.
