Ong And Nika

First Call

"What" I said while raising my eyebrows in shock.

"Are you kidding me? He has a concert tomorrow and you forgot about this and you did not even tell anyone in the team. Are you out of your mind? You are not a child Tina, how can you be so irresponsible." I was so shocked just by hearing this.

(We are Content marketing and celebrity management company. Tina is managing 5 celebrities. Her work includes managing celebrities' important work like collaborations with brands, Managing photo shoots and arranging meetings and doing promotion for brands)

"Yes we will lose our contract because of this Tine, you should have at least told someone in your team" Meeta said.

"Its not about contract Meeta, its about the responsibility and its not a small birthday party, its a concert, do you have any idea how much does it take to organise a concert, if they want they can sue us as well" i said with disappointing tone.

"Tina, you caused a big trouble to us, i'm afraid I have to fire you" Suketu said with anger.

"I'm Sorry Sir, this would not happen again" Tina said with her guilty and wet eyes looking down at her feet. The atmosphere is so tense and I'm also not sure what we should do now, it's not a small mistake that can be forgiven just by apologising to artists.

"Nika can you talk to them" Suketu asked me, interrupting my thoughts and shifting his eyes to me from Tina which caused me a panic attack just by hearing this, why should I talk to them.

"What" I asked him with a questionable tone.

"Yes, You know that i can't tell this to Milind, he is already handling a lot of stuffs and this will give him only more tension and the situation of our company is not that good and this will only harm our company goodwill, talk to them and tell them the situation try to convince them and end this to in good terms" Suketu said this in one go while i was confused why i need to talk to them, this is not my department and i'm not the one who caused it instead of me he should talk to them on behalf of our company, he is the manager and i'm just an employee from another department.

"But Suketu I think you should talk to them instead of me as i never had words with them and being an employee from another department, my apologies would not comfort them they will get more angry instead. Being on higher position as a Manager i think you should talk to them" I suggest him while looking straight at him. Its always like this, whenever company had any problem or he is not able to manage he toss them to me to handle and to hear those shitty things from clients and answer them, i'm tired handling his work.

"Nika i already tried to calm them down but they are not listening, his assistant called me in morning and told me that they want to terminate the contract with us. She is not even listening to me. So you talk to them and you are not just an employee here you are the oldest one and everyone listen to you here any you know the most how we do work so you can convince them." he said. Yes i'm, very well aware of the work and the tricks you are using right now.

"Also about Tina's job, i'll talk to Milind and will try that he wouldn't fire her, but you need to talk with them and solve this problem as soon as possible" He said while looking at me. I looked at Tina who was looking at me with so much expectations. Here comes his trick to convince me and i cant do anything but accept it.

"Hmm okay i'll talk to them" i said accepting with my lower voice.

"Okay so i'm leaving, i have an important call, tell me once you have words with them and Tina be more responsible." he said leaving the room with Meeta.  

"What's wrong with this guy, if he can't handle things then why is he taking salary, give it to me dude if i'm going to listen the shit of the clients" I said while smashing the white papers in front of me. I'm too irritated with these guys. 

"I'm sorry mam, because of me you have to handle all this" Tina said Still looking down at her feet. I don't know what should i say to her, we already scold her earlier she must be feeling guilty and scared for her job as well. 
"Its okay Tine, as long as you know your fault, just be more careful next time." I said with with my calm voice so i can comfort her.
"They are going to fire me?" She asked
 I asked her to sit down next to me. 
" they wouldn't, Suketu was just playing his trick so i accept to handle this matter and to warn you. " i said " but you need to be careful next time"

"I will, Thank you mam" she said while  nodding.

"Okay so tell me the exact situation so i can talk to them" i asked. 
He has a concert tomorrow and his friend who recommend our name to him called Suketu in morning and she told him that she want to discontinue the agreement so she asked the procedure" she said.
"Anything else?" i asked her
"No" she said. 
" Okay, Give me his number" i'll talk to him. 
She unlock her mobile and shocked looking at screen.
"Fuck" she screamed   
"What" i asked worriedly.
"He called me twice since morning but my mobile was silent. what should i do, what should i do."  she said panicking while running around the table.
"Give me his number, i'll call him"

"He is calling again. what should i do, what should i say"
"Stop panicking will you? give me the phone, i'll talk to him" I took her mobile to answer.

I picked up the phone and answered

"Hello" I said 
"Hello! Hi Tina?" i heard a male voice. The voice was soft and delicate that can melt your heart just by hearing few words. 
"Hello! Tina?" He said again.
"Hello! No, its Nika"
