Well, everything really happens for a reason.
🌸
Kring.. kring..
My phone rang and an unknown number appeared on the screen. I immediately press the button on my earpiece at my right ear to answer the call.
"Miss Isha?".
"Yes, speaking".You heard someone barely gasped for air on the other side of the phone before speaking. "This is Mia, Miss Isha. I'm so sorry to tell you that I can't attend the meeting with Exile Co right on time that we have set because I'm still at hospital and I don't know until when". Mia McDylan, my main assistance spoke with a sad tone.
"Hey, what happened to you Mia? Are you alright?"
"I just happened to involve myself in a car accident but no worries, I'm okay. No severe injuries. The meeting is the thing that we have to be worry about right now". I heard her little sob while explaining.
"It's okay, you don't ask for it to happen. I will call Liam to handle it", I'm trying my best to comfort Mia, understand how hard the situation for her.
"But miss, Liam also have a meeting right now and will finish around 11.30am and the meeting with Exile was set to be on 11.30am, I'm afraid if we have to ask the clients from Exile Co to wait. This is all my ..."
"Okay now listen Mia. Like I have said before it's not your fault at all. Stop blaming yourself for that, and if you really feel bad for it, get enough rest and get well as soon as possible so that you can work normally again. This is not a request, this is a command", I said decisively. As soon as Mia said thank you, I hang up the phone and sent Liam a voice note to inform him about that.
"After your financial meeting, please come and join me at Adelian Restaurant for another meeting, this time with Exile Co. But for now, please focus on the meeting you are having right now. Thank you".
Changed my car direction. After 15 minutes driving, I saw a sign board with Adelian Restaurant name written on it, I drove to the direction of the restaurant. Gave the security on duty a silver card before he checked it and greeted you politely. "Your reserved parking number is 23", he said. I nodded as thank you sign and parked my car at the parking box as told.
I grabbed a bag from the passenger seat and took out few things. Hair comb, a mirror, a beg of make up set and a bottle of my favorite perfume, Estée Lauder Beautiful eau de parfum. Checking my face with the mirror and fixed what needed to be fix. Combed my hair and tied it in high ponytail style and put on a little more Edith Chanel Lipstick before felt satisfied with my appearance. Simple yet elegent, I love that kind of style. Before stepping out from the car you checked your outfit just in case you have to change it for the meeting. White coloured pencil skirt paired with a white lace blouse and white stiletto. Satisfied with your white theme dressing, you sprayed the right amount of perfume and here you go, ready to meet the people from Exile Co.
I found the private dining room that Mia have booked for the meeting with the workers' help. Realised that you still have time few more minutes before 11.30am, you decided to walked around the room and examined the drawing hanging on the wall. Few minutes later you heard a knocked and a young man in suit entered the room with a greeting and smile on his face.
"Good morning. I'm Isaac Hendry, a personal assistant from Exile Co. My boss is on the way to this room, he went to the toilet for a while". I nodded and smile back, continued to examine the drawing.
"The drawing is impressive right? My boss donated those drawings to be put in this private room and that's why he is using this room a lot for meeting", he explained as he saw me being so interested with the drawings.
"I love it! So he draw this on his own or?" I let my question unfinished for Isaac to answer. "Yes, he is a great artist", I look at Isaac that stand beside me with a proud expression on his face. "Well he is a great person too. And he is already here too". Isaac look at the door we use to enter the room and I turn my body around when my eyes met the eyes of Isaac's boss.
"Good morning, Miss McDylan. It's nice to see...", as our eyes met, his eyes was locked with my eyes. His jaw dropped and at one moment I realised I was barely allowing oxygen to enter my lung, it became so hard to breath. My body stayed there but I felt like my soul were flying with me back to few years ago.

10 years ago... 2010
"Eli, stop right there!".Someone shouted my name so loud that the entire hall can hear. I look behind found Eleanor waved her right hand to me while the her other hand hold a piece of pink paper. There she is, my closest friend since kid.
"What on earth is happening Elea? You scared me", I frowned and took the paper she was holding as soon as she arrived in front of me. "I was told by Sir Jack that you have to meet this new student and give him a tour around the school and you also have to explain about the music and art club", she explained.
"But why me?", I asked, curious tone.
"Because you are the leader of music and art club my dear. Go go. He is waiting for you at the main entrance already", Eleanor waved you goodbye as she saw her boyfriend. I read the paper and it was few basic details about the new students.
"But what with giving the student tour around the school, it's not like I'm the teacher here ugh", I mumbled while walking to find him and finally saw an unfamiliar face at the entrace.
"You must be Adrian Jeckel. I'm Elisha Alan, the leader of music and art club", I offered my hand for a handshake and he took my hand, nodded while smiling.
