🎶 LISTEN TO THE MUSIC 🎶
Derek moves up the corporate ladder in more ways than one.
I pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant. The valet driver took the keys from me as I exited my car. He looked at me with a disapproving side gaze as he got into my car. I am sure he was used to parking high-end luxury cars like BMW, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bugatti, Maserati and not a regular Chevrolet Camaro vehicle like mine. Most of the money I made went straight into a savings account. I was not going to blow it away on an expensive car.
"Yes," the man inside said as I came up to the podium where he was standing. "Deliveries are in the back," he said as he looked back down at the large pad.
"I am here to meet my boss," I said waving my hand over the pad to get his attention.
"Name?" the man asked as he looked at me.
I gave him the name of both Samuel and Jack. He looked at me with widened eyes. "You're the person they are waiting on?" he said looking down at my jean pants and dark green shirt. I was not told it would be formal, so I did not plan on dressing the part.
"Yes," I nodded.
"This way," he motioned.
"Derek," Samuel said as he stood up. "I should have told you it would be formal wear, that's my fault."
I looked at the man and smiled as he walked back to his post.
Jack shook his head at me obviously disappointed.
"I think you know everybody," Samuel said as we both sat down. I nodded at Jack and Savannah. I knew Samuel and his wife Janet from one of the office parties. The other two men and their wives I remembered their faces but not their names.
"No," I shook my head as I sat beside Samuel.
"Well," Samuel said as he motioned to one of the men. "This is Lester and his wife Cassandra, and on your right is Timothy and his wife, Tabitha."
"Hello," I nodded.
"That was quite an idea you had," Timothy said. "Blew mine right out of the water," he said with a half-smile.
Now I knew where I had seen these two before. They were on the floor below, no doubt they were interested in the partnership as well.
"Yes, we know," Tabitha shook her head. She turned to look at me. "It has been all he has been talking about since yesterday."
"Sorry," I shrugged.
"No need to be sorry," Jack shook his head. "It is the nature of the job. We don't get paid to be nice."
"Well said," Samuel nodded. "I brought the four of you here to go over the two remaining ideas as well as meet each other in a less stressful environment."
"It also helps that he really likes the food here," his wife shook her head. "Any reason he can give to the board for coming here and having them flip the bill is a good reason."
"Guilty," Samuel nodded. Janet was the poster board woman for being a trophy wife. She was a former supermodel, she had medium length dark brown hair, with most gorgeous deep ocean blue eyes and a perfectly cut face with a smile that looked like it should be on television.
Slowly the food came out, and the conversation turned to Jack's idea. The other two were entirely on board with going forward with Jack's idea over mine.
