Today is Logica's annual celebration, we had a lot to do as a marketing team to make sure that this year's event will be on local newspapers and magazines, we invited other leading companies and investors for the visibility of the company. For years it has been privately held but this year things needed to be twisted a bit since Logica is in financial crisis. For the past week I had to create a report which clarified everything from shares, board to investors. I almost thought I was the major shareholders trying to save a sinking ship.

"Good evening beautiful" It's Tebogo

He is so early, well I'm an early bird myself so I'm ready. I am in a dress today; I didn't want to look like an outlier, so I also have a purse.

"You look so handsome, as always" I say

"Look at you throw compliments; you are perfect every day" Tebogo

That must be the most heartfelt thing anyone has ever said to me and it sounded so genuine.

"You're blushing" him again

He needs to stop getting in my head or else I won't stop this act of mine.

"Let's go Mr. Seroka" I don't want to end up saying things I'll regret

He has a smile on his face all the way to his car, it's a Mercedes Benz g-wagon. It's so classy just like it's owner of cause. The red carpet outside is a bit packed with people obviously who have no idea what is going on. Tebogo gets out of his car and walks to the passenger door, mine of obviously. He opens it up for me. I'm welcomed by a kiss on the cheek and his hand almost marking its territory. I'm in heels so I'm happy his arms are supporting me, so I don't embarrass myself.

"I want those pictures after" Tebogo

"They probably won't hand them out" I say

He winks at me, is this his silly side or the daily him?

Inside everyone looks stunning, I can say I did the most with the setting up with my team.

Xiluva is here with Thabang mingling with the rest.

Tebogo left me to get me a drink so I'm alone.

The event is about to start, Thabang is the host, he welcomes everyone and present the report.

I'm happy to announce that my excellent idea is a success and managed to get more than five major investors, that's more millions coming in. Although with the scandal the ratings were affected, this event hopefully will do much better.
The awards are being announced, Tebogo also received one and I'm so proud of him. He works hard than anyone else I know except me obviously because I'm so exhausted and this event is far from ending.

"Tshinondiwa Madima" my name being called on the stage

Why am I being called? I'm just astonished by the way this people are looking at me.

"Nondi you need to go and get your award" The talkative lady

I'm hesitant about going on stage, standing in front of this crowd and opening my mouth. I don't have a choice though, so I'll regret it later. They hand me an award and move aside for me to stand in front of the mic. I browse through the crowd for the weak link, there's only Xiluva, Thabang and Dikeledi. I can't see Tebogo anywhere and I don't see Thabang as a weak link anymore but more as an underdog. I say my thanks and evacuate the stage, I'm not going to be embarrassing myself at all.
