DAN's POV
Sitting in the backseat of the car. Mr Daniel Carter is wondering why on earth he agreed to go to the same boring conference every year. These business conferences are usually too formal. Men dressed in expensive suits and women in expensive gowns. Mostly in attendance will be your usual fortune 500 CEO's,CFO's,founders and investors. The conference is really good for networking and establishing business contacts. Daniel himself has made a few useful contacts here. Unfortunately for the past two years,this conference has became a bit tedious for him as he had to listen to different people pitching business ideas to him and asking for investments. Carter Enterprises reaching fortune 500 status was both a blessing and a curse to him.
The attendees will usually be accompanied by their spouses as most of the successful people in attendance will be older, people already in relationships or even married.But for a 29 year old guy who is thinking of settling down, this is definitely not an appealing choice where one should be spending their Friday afternoon. Mr King, the PR Manager of Carter Enterprises convinced him that it is good publicity for the company if he attends and it will not look good for one of the top sponsors representatives not to be present.
" Mr Carter we have arrived." My driver who is also my bodyguard pulls me out of my thoughts. I look outside and of course it is exactly as I expected. Men and and women in black tie. This is the first year I am attending without a date. And I am already regretting that decision.
"Whew! I can't believe I agreed to this thing again John."
He clears his throat. "Sir, are you nervous?"
"Are you mocking me John? And for the millionth time, stop calling me Sir."
"Not at all Sir, I am just trying to lighten your mood. I actually think that you did not get the worst deal, your CFO is attending the remainder of the two full days and it is the weekend. You only have to attend the opening ceremony tonight for a few hours."
"I agree with John Sir. But you should have brought one of your arm candies to keep you company." Joe my head of security joins the conversation and also completely ignores my protests of asking to be called by my name.
"Aargh" I get out of the car and slam the door behind me. Whilst they laugh out loud at my expense.
