Kendrick's POV.

I stepped out of my Alfa Romeo and signal the driver to pack it. I adjusted my three piece dark blue suit and put on a frown entering the office.

How much life can change in what looks like a blink of an eye. There's so much to life than just hiding behind the bushes and running away.

What I have learnt in these year is that sometimes you just have to use your mind not your heart and sometimes you use your heart becomes it knows better.

I would be sitting and remembering the past with you.

If only I don't have to use my mind right now in a very important meeting.

It's a very important one and I would do Anything to crack this deal with the investors am meeting right now.

With so much difficulty working with them is one last meeting away and I cannot afford to blow it.

"Good morning sir". everyone stands to greet as I pass through

My face hardened when i walked by the ladies. They always seem to be giving me a guffy look, if am not wrong it's also called goggly eyes.

I don't have time for bullshit because today am only business.

Actually everyday am only business but today I have some deals to kick their butts.

I walked into the conference room where some investors are waiting for me.

We exchanged greetings and sheak hands, being as polite as I could possibly master.

After everyone has taken their sit, I stood up to make the presentation.

But where is my assistant with the presentation tablet and files.

I looked down at my gold Rolex watch and bit my lower lip slightly.

I gave them a not_so_genuine smile and nod in an apologetic way. It's the second time we are holding this meeting with this people.

The first time, they didn't show up and now my F* assistant.

I stood up tired and annoyed but I had to do something. I just cannot lose them for I am sure alot of my competitors will do anything to get this deal and the first reason will be to rub it in my face.

I cleared my throat and started "As you all know that this is a....

"Sir, sir, a-am here, so-sorry sir" he walked in almost running with his shirt not stucked in and his tie not tied. Everyone's eyes were on him as everyone's face carried different expression.

As for mine, oh it's better you find out.

He must have step on his on foot and what do you know. The papers went flying into the air and he stumbled from side to side before regaining his balance.

I clenched my jaw and fist fighting the urge to hit the table. Does he even have the slightest idea of how important it is to crack this deal.

Oh quick reminder.!

He knows because he's my assistant who has lost his mind and next his job.

His eyes widen and he began to gather the papers from the floor. He looked at me with eyes that fear was written all over them and I gave him such a glare that he looked down and never raised his head.

"What immaturity, is this how clumsy your employees are?". One of the investors said eyeing my assistant.

I shook my head and feigned a small smile "No,, no this is just a small-"

"A small what? Mr Hart. Is this how we are going to work together?".

"No, yes, i mean just sit and we will talk about it". I reasoned

"That's it mr Hart but you are a very known business man in a short period of time you have made your name rang and that is the only reason we came here today to see what you have for us." He stopped and looked at my assistant.

"But after all this, with all due respect this deal and our cooperation is over, am sorry but am cracking it with someone better".

That's it I snap "Then get the hell out of my sight, Leave".

They gathered their cases and left murmuring.

"Stop". I I balled a hand on the table.

His trembling hands froze And he stood up slowly.

"Sir..

I don't wanna lose it, so I hold it in for a few seconds. I work with animals only.

"Get out!" I said calmly.

"Bu- but- sir, please".

Is he kidding me right now? Should I beat him up black and blue before he gets the out of my office.

"Get the hell out of here". I shouted.

He swallowed and hurried to the door before I stopped him.

"And one more thing". He turned to look at me. "You are fired". I said and looked away.

I removed the top of my three piece suit. And sank into a chair.

But it was so important this deal to me. I ran my hand into my hair multiple times And sigh.

I cannot let anyone work with those investors especially not my top biggest competitor. It would be a big nasty ugly slap to both my cheeks.

After thinking for a while, I signal someone.

"Find out who those investors will crack that deal with". I told him.

He nod and left.

What a total waste of time. I messaged my forehead slightly.
