Love, Protect and Trust...The Divit Way

Chapter Seven

The day was easy, nothing pressing on them. Sanem tried to finish up some of the other accounts that had been pushed back because of Compass Sports. She knew she would be out the next day so the more done today the better. Can took her out for lunch to their favorite fish place, and then they took a nice walk together. It was so nice to be alone, so peaceful. By the time they made it back to the agency, Ceyda had called Deren 3 times. Can had turned his phone off, just to have uninterrupted time with Sanem. Deren met them as they came in the door,                  " Can, Ceyda has called several times and needs an appointment, and she bringing Mr. Mekken from Redmond Cosmetics." She stated. Can shook his head, " We can't even get a break for 5 minutes, when do they want to come." He asked. 

Deren relayed the message, " They want to come this afternoon, it you are available, and he wants Sanem in the meeting also." He was very impressed with what she has done with the Compass Sports campaign." Can looked at her with questions, " What do you say, are you ready to start another large campaign, just a few weeks before the wedding."  Can we handle it." Sanem hated to get so involved again, but it would mean so much for the company. Sanem linked her arm through his and said, " I think we can, we have a great team, and I'm sure Deren can handle everything if I need help," she looked at Deren for support in the subject. Deren nodded in agreement and said, " Absolutely, you can count on me for what ever you need." They walked into Cans office, just as his phone rang, he answered, " Hello Ceyda, what can I do for you." Yes, Sanem and I were unavailable for a while today, but we are back in the office now."  Ok, an hour will be fine, see you then."  He hung up, shaking his head in disbelief, " She always needs to know where I have been, it's getting very annoying." He spouted.  Sanem laughed, " It's hard answering to so many girlfriends, isn't it."  Just don't get confused." He shot her a look of annoyance. She headed for her desk, to get ready for the meeting. 

Ceyda and Mr Mekken arrived right on time, Ceyda seemed even more sure of her self than usual, stuttering her stuff, she nodded an acknowledgment towards Sanem, and headed straight to Cans office. Sanem grabbed her notebook and started into his office, but by the time she got there Ceyda was already draped all over Can, lavishing him with kisses. Can pushed her back, and moved around to the other side of his desk. She introduced Mr. Mekken to Can and Ms Deren, but skipped over Sanem. But Can quickly grabbed her and made the intro, " Yes Mr.Mekken, this my fiancé, Sanem Aydin. "  She will be working on your campaign, along with Ms.Deren. Mekken was overjoyed to meet her, he was a fan of the campaign she set up for the Compass Sports. They got started on the meeting, they loved the ideas that Sanem had for the campaign right away. She was a natural at inventing, Can couldn't have been more proud. Mr. Mekken was intrigued and was definitely ready for Fikri Harika to be the new ad agency for his cosmetics. 

The talk turned to Compass Sports of Turkey, and the grand opening. Ceyda leaned over to Can,      " We of course want you there to unveil the ad for the first time." She said. " It is your campaign after all." She revealed, rubbing his arm. Can stiffened, " Actually, it's Sanem's campaign, but neither of us will be able to attend. I'm sending Ms.Deren and Ahmet." They both have been heavily involved in the ad process." He stated firmly.  Ceyda's face dropped, " Can, that's unacceptable, I expect you to be there. I have some special plans for the grand opening." She spouted.  " Please don't make me insist, we are your largest clients you know." She demanded. Can smiled, " I'm quite aware of you client status Ceyda, but it's not a good time for us to out the office, with our wedding coming up soon, there are many things to take care of." He said. With a sharp look towards Sanem she stated, " Sanem can stay and take care of the wedding plans and you can go take care of business, that seems like a logical compromise to me." Beside there is a surprise associated with the opening you might be interested in." She gushed. " We have organized a competition climb to coincide with the opening festivities, and you definitely need to be part of it." I fact, I  planned it with you in mind." She reaches for his hand, but he pulled away. Sanem had witnessed more than she cared to and stood, looking at Ceyda she said, " if this is all for the meeting, I will excuse myself, and get to work." Her eyes locked with Cans, with no words needed. Saying her goodbyes to Mr. Mekken, she left the room. She walked straight to the restroom, letting out the anger that fired up inside her. That woman could cause her to lose control, and she didn't like it. But she had to think of the agency, and what would happen if they lost that account. 

She hoped Can would take care of this situation, it had went on long enough. Can was fully aware of what that look meant as she went out the door. He asked Deren to escort Mr. Mekken out, while he had a word with Ceyda. She beamed at him, welcoming the time alone, for what she thought would be an acceptance to her invitation. He closed the door and turned to her, " Ceyda I think we need to have another talk." He stated firmly, " I told you before that what ever you think might be between us, is certainly not going to happen." My life and my heart is with Sanem, and there's nothing in this world you could do to change that." The fact that our agency represents your business she the only association that I want to have with you. I not sure how I can make myself any more clear than that."  He spewed. " And I wish for you not to put my soon -to -be wife in anymore embarrassing situations, as you did today." Do I make myself clear." He stated, with eyes glaring. She flinched at the harsh words, " You are making a big mistake Can," she pouted, " That girl is not for you, when will you see that." She spun around and marched out, leaving him stunned. 

His anger of her denial was going to cost them a client, but at this point he really didn't care. Deren rushed back in his office, " Can, what happened, Ms. Ceyda looked furious when she left." She begged. " We can't lose them, you know that don't you." That means we would lose Redmond before we even get started with it." You have to go to the grand opening and the climbing competition." She stated.

He knew she was right, but how much was he willing to give up for business......

It certainly wasn't going to be Sanem....
