I thought about my latest encounter with Aaliyah as I drove to my office. I thought about her and how she has changed all of a sudden. She was cold, but God was she beautiful. Innocent Devil.
On entering the office, I sat calmly behind my massive desk, powering up my laptop
My personal assistant came into my well furnished and elegantly decorated office to remind me that it's almost time for our meeting with the real estate agents and they are arriving any time soon.
Their company "Ever Green" is One of the biggest and most renowned Real estate companies in the states. It is an organization of professionally trained brokers with international reach and local expertise in commercial real estate. Providing full-service commercial real estate brokerage support to people.
My business partner who has been in charge of the company's assets for years set up the meeting, but unfortunately he wouldn't be able to attend it, that's why I have to be present.
I put a stop to whatever I was doing and we walked to the building's conference hall
We were seated around the conference table when we heard someone knock on the door, very clearly, two times. I pull away from the table, and stood up to welcome our guests. All my employees followed suit
The door flew open, exposing the person behind it. Behold the girl I called a jobless loser a few days ago
It's my wife "Aaliyah", with two other guys making their way in.
My face has gone white, my eyes wide and terrified. I couldn't move, I just stood frozen where I was standing.
In that moment, It was as if my life had been brought to a full stop, I couldn't look forward, I couldn't say anything, I couldn't picture what this really means. Part of me suspects that I'm a loser and the other still tells me that I'm not
Frozen was my heart after I had decided to let it be and just go with the flow.
I managed to force out a "Hello", dragging my forearm across my eyes, trying to get control of myself. But Aaliyah pass it off as though it was nothing, It looked as if she has never seen me before in her life
It turns out that Aaliyah is the big guest we are waiting for from the real estate company "Ever Green"
She works for her father, a real estate mogul as an architect in his company and she is one of the lead supervisors to their marketing department
After the introduction, we all took our seats and the meeting commenced
"We are here to enlighten you about our latest products and services, and to review the mortgage terms of your most recent company asset which you acquired through our company" Aaliyah began
But I can hardly sit still. I kept fidgeting, crossing one leg and then the other. I feel like I could throw off sparks, or break a window, or maybe rearrange all the furniture.
During the meeting, I looked at a lot of people. A quick glance and then my gaze wanders to "Aaliyah" the most interesting person at the moment. I have been staring at her for a while but our eyes never met, I bet she's avoiding my eye on purpose
She is lovely, with eyes that captivated many hearts, a smile that drew minds, and a presence that captured many souls. And I figured she is everything I wanted in a girl, and so much more.
She talked like a boss, Bringing out the radiance hidden in her heart that the world desperately needs.
Everybody seemed to be captivated by her speech, All they do is nod their heads in approval of whatever she is saying. It made me realize that she is the kind of woman that could talk a policeman into committing armed robbery, and could make any man forget his years or Identity
As I was gazing at her, I saw a different person. I see A woman with vision, a woman who is unstoppable, a woman who is always increasing and her skills multiply. Along with passion, this woman is undeniable.
She is the kind of girl that could conquer the world, change it, flex it, revolutionize it. She knew exactly where she was going and who she wanted to be, and yet at the same time she has no idea.
Along the way, I got lost in her eyes and I couldn't hear the rest of her presentation, all I did was admire her beauty and confidence.
The next thing I heard was "Sir! Sir! Sir!" In unison
"Are you okey?" A concerned staff asked.
"Yes of course. What's your problem?" I asked, raising an eyebrow
"It looked like you've been transported to another world, though your body is still here. You gave us a scare" he said
"They want to know what you think about the whole thing" He told me
"What thing?" I asked clueless, looking like I just woke up from a decade old slumber
A few faces turned and stared at me, As if I've accidentally dropped a nuclear bomb
"I don't mean to interrupt, but I'd like to say one more thing" Aaliyah said, saving me from this embarrassing moment. Though I didn't need it, I'm not some kind of a charity case who is in desperate need of saving.
"Go right ahead" someone quickly answered, because I couldn't find my words and it's getting awkward. Though he made me look like an autistic child who is stranded in an island, struggling to make sense of the situation he is in.
"I'll tell you something else that we do. Regardless of how the Real estate business may have developed over the years, we always serve as a transmission, a sort of bridge, between our clients and their clients" Aaliyah said.
With that, she automatically brought an end to the meeting and all heads turned towards me waiting to hear my opinion
"We will discuss it deeper with my colleagues and give you feedback as soon as possible" I finally said, after what seemed like forever.
My answer earned me puzzling looks from most of the meeting attendants, making me feel like a clueless fool.
"Of course, no biggie. Strategy is not really a solo sport even if you're the CEO. Do feel free to give us your feedback, anytime, any day" Aaliyah said, with a polite smile
"But remember, In the world of business, being slow is a losing move" she added
Who asked you? Mrs know all. And how dare you call me slow? I'll choke this woman if care is not taken. The voice in my head whispered
She bid everyone goodbye and left.
I watched her walking away with the two guys she came with trailing behind her, I bet they are looking at her backside and enjoying the view. "Assholes" I cursed under breath.
Without uttering a word to anyone, I went back to my office and sat in my chair, still recovering from the shock I have had.
Like a child who saves their favourite food on the plate for last, I try to save all thoughts of Aaliyah for the end of the day so I can dream with the taste of her on my tongue. How stupid is that?
