And what's in it for us Mr.Kayoski? We need to really know if this deal will highly favor us or notits not a matter of your side getting maximum benefits out of this deal.I said sipping my cafe latte. Mr.Adams , I highly assure and Mrs.Paulson that Techbyte will get 50% profits, visas to China, latest software updates and security systems and (Irene looked at me smiling) state of the art technology of course. Sounds great. I think youll give us time to
Noooo. This is a good deal you dont even need time to think aboutwhat do you think Mrs.Paulson? You know this is clearly a golden opportunity and not an offer you get to meet every day.
Mr.Kayoski, (smiling and seeing my unconvinced face) I think we need time to think. We appreciate and promise to get back to you. Thank you for your time!Irene said smiling. Mr.Kayoski looked at me and gave me the famous Chinese smile with the squinted eyes, took his briefcase and left.
As I always say, when the deal is too good think twice. You were already convinced!
Come on he had a good deal! (Laughing)You cant blame me!Irene said as she packed her laptop in her bag.
Irene Paulson is CEO and I am Marketing Manager. We spent most of our Mondays and Wednesday nights at this coffee shop making business deals or sometimes just to escape world dramas.
So how are Natasha and the kids?
Well Natasha is as usual I dont even need to start on her story you know. Oliver well hes just started his new school. You know hes currently in grade 5. Laura you know is always daddys little girl still very good though Im concerned shes not really been herself of late or I dont know if its coz shes too much on her gadgets nowadays. But I dont want to break the bond by being hard on her you know.
Sorry about Natasha. I really feel for you though. You are a good guy and I think you know you should just look for some. (Phone rings)Oh my John! I have to leave Andy is calling plus you know I have an early meeting tomorrow (picking up her bag). Ill call you! Goodnight!
Its alright Irene you go see your man (both laughing) Goodnight!
Irene left and I sat at our table alone finishing my cup of café latte. I sank my head in my hands exhausted and suddenly I heard a voice beside me.
Hello John. Here is your bill. The waitress said as she cleared the table and presented the bill book to me.
I pulled out a twenty dollar bill and gave it to her while in deep thoughts.
John is you okay? Youve not been looking okay of late.
Everythings alright Anna (forcing a smile). Ive just been too busy of late. I have to go. Ill see you soon. Goodnight.
Goodnight John (with a concerned voice).
I walked sluggishly to my black Audi at the car park and drove off home to try and make it for dinner with the kids at 8pm. I drove thinking a lot about how to deal with the situation back in the house. I got home and found Oliver watching cartoon as usual and Laura watching some videos on the iPad.
Daddy! Daddy! Oliver said as he ran towards me happily.
(At dinner time at the dinner table)
Oliver so how was your first day at the new school?
It was just good.
Just good? I hope you made friends.
Not yet but I think I will. Though I hate the afternoon class. In Ridgeway School we never had it you know. Its really boring.
Mmhhh (smiling) at least you have a few things to tell your mom about the school. I know you cant wait to tell her about it. Laura how was your day?
