The Journey Of A Tycoon

Chapter 1

20th August-Monday

Eyes sticking out like honey on bees as I climbed off my white BMW 1series, not that I loathed the attention, sometimes it fed my alter ego and made me feel great about myself.

With the confidence that I had mastered through the years, I grabbed the door handel and pushed myself in the huge skyscraper called BAA ( Beauty of Africa Agencies) in Midrand. Heading with ease towards the receptionist. I questioned the lady who had her fingers flying and her eyes hidden by her thick glasses where the boardroom is and with her questioning my identity I was led to the boardroom.

My long legs hitting the well tainted mahagony floor, my hips swaying from left to right, dancing to the rhythm of determination. My knee length black coat hiding my white two piece trouser and jacket and slightly hitting my brief case that had all the information to convince these men.

"Greetings Gentleman." I extended my hand greeting the men in the boardroom.

As the men took seats, I walked towards the board, which was plain white. Laying down my briefcase, I took out my products and information and looked at the men, the one sitting opposite me gave me a nod. Probably Mr Anderson, the owner, I thought to myself. Then I began.

"Sun Rays Cream, not your typical everyday cream, but its made by typical herbs that people ignore and I want to make people aware that these herbs are essential and fundamental. Now you being BAA, such an amazing company, I believe we can work together and bring out something great."

And with that I straightened my coat and looked at the men striaght in their eyes, not showing a hint of nervousness, nor insecurity.

Mr Anderson gave out a nod and the men gradually followed his lead and seemed convinced. The man that was sitting diagonally from me raised his hand to recieve my attention and I gave out a nod to let him speak his mind.

"Ms Manaka my interest is piqued and I'm quiet convinced, though I wouldnt want to risk bringing BAA down with a product I've never seen in action." With that being said my hopes flew out of the window that had been providing a cool atmosphere.

"But then again we have models and I think it would be a great exposure for the product and a greater one for BAA, since its our models."the man who was seated right next to Mr Anderson spoke and I thanked the heavens for his existance on earth and his wonderful suggestion.

"Of course, that would be great." I replied instantly and you could hear all the excitement manifested in my voice.

"Then Ms Manaka we will contact you on Thursday." Mr .Anderson spoke up.

"I'll be available. " thanking the men I assembled my belongings and headed for the door, but before I could leave, the man who suggested the models grabbed my thick, full arm and said.

"your product is amazing ."

"Thank you sir."

I left the boardroom with a huge grin plastered on my face, this was the beginning of greater events, I thought as I exited the BAA skyscraper and climbed in my white BMW 1series with ease and drove to my apartment.
