Beating again

Chapter three

Sasha's POV

"Tell me honey." Dad says when I sit on the chair in his office.

"As I told you over the phone, I want work." I say as I rest my bag in the other chair. "Do you have any?"

"You should consider yourself lucky. We have been looking for a human resource manager, our former just resigned."

"Actually dad, I don't want to be a department manager."

"Why?"

"You know I can't work with Lance."

"So, what do you want to do? It is the only vacant position we are left with."

"Um dad,... I over heard you and Lance talking about the 'G-project'"

He looks up at me and suddenly starts laughing.

What is so funny?

"So you are telling me you want it?"

"Yeah, let me handle it."

He laughs again. So much. I start finding his laughter offensive

"I am sorry." He says as he tries to stop laughing. "But Sasha, the G-project is not as easy as you think. Especially for a starter."

"Just give it to me, let me try it."

"You don't understand anything, do you? You can't do trials on this. Sasha, this is a big German project, it has alot of big companies that want to bid for it. I don't think I can give it to you."

"Are you saying I am not capable?" I ask furiously.

At first he was laughing at me and now he is undermining me.

"Why don't you give it to me and see what I come out with?"

He looks at me as if studying me for a moment. He scratches his head and opens a drawer on his table. He takes it out and hesitantly hands it over to me.

"Here it is. Get yourself a team you need and get a place where you feel comfortable." The papers are now in my hands but he looks unsatisfied.

"This is a multi-million dollar project. I am handing it over to you, but if you fail to secure it, I am not adding you anymore work. You just come home and let me and your mom take care of you." He says putting a lot of emphersis on the condition than the project.

He also hands me the list of employees so I can select my team. I don't even know them but I select anyway. They wouldn't keep a bad working employee, right!

"Thank you dad." I run over to him and give him a big cheek kiss.

I move out of his office happy and proud that I have convinced him to give it to me.

As I move out, I bump into Lance. My folder falls down and opens. I quickly pick it before he can read but he has already seen it.

"G-PROJECT." He reads out loud.

"Dad gave you that?" He asks in disbelief.

"Yeah! Let me hope you won't make efforts to take it back."

He bursts into laughter, the same way dad was laughing earlier.

"To tell you the truth, I am thankful." Thankful? What does he mean?

"I barely breathed working on that." I frown.

"You haven't looked into it, have you?" He raises his brows and laughs again.

"Good luck little sister." He walks away with laughter.

What do I need to see inside there, so I can laugh too. I open the folder and my eyes widen as soon as I look into it.
