Mr Arogant and Miss Simple

Chapter 9

I started calling all the best planners in town and told Liam to do the same. All of them were prebooked for atleast 6 months. To be honest, I was freaking out I did not even know how to organize an event or a person who organized events. I called Liam through intercom and he came into my office within a minute.

"Any luck?"

"Nope and you?"

"No, what am I doing to do Liam?"

"Well, my brother-in-law is an event planner but he deals with weddings mostly and he has not done an event on such a big scale."

"You know we cannot take risks but since we do not have any other choice let's meet this guy at lunch and see what he can do"

"I will go call him and do not stress yourself. Remember we can and we will."

With that he left my office and I got back to my work which was piled up from 2 days.

I finished the first half just in time for lunch break. I took my purse and found Liam already waiting for me. We took Liam's car since he knew where we were supposed to meet this guy. I was having all sorts of negative thoughts and my palms were sweating. What if this guy is not able to do it? What if this guy refuses to do it? Or Mr Anderson fires me or worse he blacklists me and I am not able to get another job? What if-

My chain of thoughts was interrupted by Liam holding my hand and caressing it gently.

"Relax Sam! Why do you always imagine the worst? You are not getting fired!"

"How do you know what I was thinking?"

"We have been best friends for 5 years I know you that much by now. Plus you kept making horrible faces."

The car came to a halt and Liam said,

"We are here"

"Seriously? Dunkin Donuts?"

"What? Do not look at me like that Matthew chose the venue"

"Who is Matthew?"

"My brother-in-law duh! Now come on." We got out of the car and I followed Liam since I have never seen this Matthew guy. Liam went to a table and hugged the guy. He then introduced him as Matthew Williams and we sat down after shaking hands. Before I could say anything Matthew said,

"What will you guys have? I kinda have a sweet tooth and love to eat sweet stuff before getting down to business." Liam got BBQ sandwiches with a donut and I got an Alaska Supreme milkshake. I have this annoying habit of not eating whenever I'm stressed. Matthew got back with our stuff after 15 minutes and I was surprised to see him with a box of 6 donuts in different flavours. After all the eating, I gave all the details of the gala and asked Matthew if he could do it.

"I have not organized a gala before but I would give it my best shot and I think we can do it if we work together."

"Listen Matthew, we cannot take any risks right now and I would help you in any way possible. You can take extra money if you want but please get this done. It is an opportunity for you as well if it goes well then your business can gain recognition."

I handed him a file and said, "This file contains the details about theme, guest list etc. You can start working now and please run the ideas through me before you decide anything. I will see you tomorrow morning at 9 in my office." With that we returned to the office and I finished the rest of my work. It was almost 11 in the night and as I was walking out I saw Mr Anderson waiting for the elevator. As we entered the elevator together he turned to me and said,

"Miss Jones I am going tomorrow so I will not be here till I return you are the incharge over here and also for the gala. Good night." With that he walked away to his car and I drove home.

I fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed and did not even bother to wear my pyjama. I was so tired that I did not even have dinner.

I know I take too much time but don't force me to update. I will take my time plus I have exams next month and my main focus is on that but if I find time in between I will try to update.
