All I had

Chapter 5: messing up together again

2 months later
Clara's POV

I got up and sat on my bed. It was fucking cold and I didn't want to lift my ass off the bed.
" Mmmm..The blacket's too warm"

Huh! But I have to fetch up some stupid meeting with my boss, I recalled.

I had to be there on 10am sharp. And it was already half past eight.
I took shower and got ready for the meeting. I had prepared the presentation last week and I was told that if they liked it and signed the deal, I will be promoted.
I really wanted to get a promotion. It was like a basic need for my survival on the planet because my current boss sucks. Huh!

I got into my car, fingers crossed, 'will they like my presentation? Will I be promoted?' such questions were like bombarding my mind. I had worked my ass off for a whole month and I totally desrve the promotion. Well, let's just see..

I was freaking out to see the dealers. Yes, I was there to give  a very important presentation and din't know who was I going to present. Well, its because I was out on some office work and they said the meeting is with the Ellison's enterprisers. (hey! Not that larry ellison.lol. my company isn't that big).

I bumped out of my car. I entered my cabin by 10am. So now I had some time to make up with the meeting plans for today.

I saw everyone over excited. It wasn't like any other meeting. I rushed to the cabin next to mine.

" I guess Michael Bloomberg gonna arrive" I said to Lucia my colleague laughing, as I entered.

Lucia Johnson

"That's surely not Bloomberg but Mr.Thompson, with whom Ellisons were able to settle a clean deal, and they're gonna arrive together." she said with a sigh, sitting in her chair.

"Mr. Noah Th..thompson ?" I asked Lucia, my heart skipping random beats every five second.
She nodded.

I was all shocked. I wanted to run away from the place. I was really afraid to face him back. But I had to give a presentation in front of him. Gosh!

I'd be happy if I returned home alive, I guess a heart attack was approching.

I returned to my cabin and sat down on my chair. Somebody knocked.
"yeah, come in"

"ma'am, boss is calling you, the meeting is there within 15 minutes. He wants to see me with you over there. You coming with me ?"

"yeah, sure!" I said .
____________

"Hey! Clara, they are to arrive very  soon, better you go with the arrangements once again." he ordered me in his hoarse voice, (which always reminds me of a pumpkin).

I went through the arrangements.
"they have arrived" I heard someone shouting.

I, with my boss and some other people, went to welcome and provide hospitality to them, the worst work ever. I never like welcoming people.

The  car's doors open, and stepped out the very handsome guy, Mr. Noah Thompson. I could feel my heart thromping hard against my chest.

He finally came out. He was walking straight with Mr. Ellison, to the meeting hall.

Oh my god, I remember this face more than my own. I still remember every moment of that day.
He was wearing sunglasses.
I don't think he noticed me till we reached the meeting hall.

Jason, my boss's cousin brother introduced us with the team.
He is such  a nice guy, no like  his rude brother (naahhh!!).

My turn came, I was nervous like hell.
"Goddamn save me!" I whispered under my breath.

"and she is Ms. Clara Jones. And she 'll be driving you through all our marketing stuffs...." Jason said and smiled at me. I smiled back. I stood up, he whispered in my ear "I know you'll rock". I nodded.

I reached in front, trying not to match eyes with Noah, who now has his glasses off.

I began my presentation. I was so afraid that my legs began to wobble.

"Good morning everyone.."

"wait!" Noah cuts me off.

My heart began beating ...like 500 beats per minute.
