Wedding every weekend.

Failed deal

Vera POV

As usual I am woken up by the ringing of my alarm which signals the beginning of a new day and so I have to prepare to get to the company in no time.

Unlike the other days, I feel a bit still sleepy by the time I get up. It is probably how busy I was last evening with the visit of my parents and then the late night chat with my bestie, Vera.

However, upon recalling a very important task that I have to do today - meet with the CEO of John's Company limited for a possibility of a contract, I quickly jump off my bed .

Without any more hesitation, I ran into the bathroom having a very brief shower. Unlike the other days , I didn't get anything ready to wear today . The process of finally getting something to dress takes me over an hour .

The fact that I have to dress to impress today, I might end up taking even more hours than just one as I initially do everyday.

Just like I predicted, I end up spending close to two hours trying to find something suitable to wear. This is one of the reasons why I love my bestie very much- she always helps me with everything that I need to wear on different events in my life anytime that I need.

Finally, I end up settling for black corporate trousers with a long sleeve shirt and then a sexy long coat to finally complete the look. I have my hair curled all falling perfectly at my back with a little makeup applied to complete the look. The truth is look perfectly gorgeous if I can say.

I get my back and head out of the house to my car and then drive towards the office - Damn it !, Unlike what I thought would be, there is some bit of traffic which gets me stuck in the road for some time .

How unlucky I am today, this is not surely something that I wanted to happen. For all this time, I have never been this anxious just to meet one of the many investors . However based on our sales the past few months, our rise again highly depends on this investor of the John's Company limited.

After impatiently waiting for over thirty minutes on a journey which normally takes me ten minutes, I finally drive towards the park yard of the company and quickly get out of the car heading towards the company building .

All the workers quickly turn back to their work as soon as they see me approach them. A few murmur greetings to me while others pretend like they are too busy and so they didn't see me at all. Right now I don't care about anything . All I want is to see that I get to have this meeting just on time .

“Good morning ma'am ” my secretary greets me trying as much as she can to sound as though she is normal but it doesn't need someone to be so keen to know that she is all tensed up.

“ Here is your program for the day ” she says as she stretches her hand to hand me the Pad.

“ Read everything to me . ” I practically order her as I get into the elevator to head into my office with her coming after me .

“ Meeting with head HR..9:35am..

“ Meeting with CEO, John's Company limited..10:15 am.

“ Me..”

“ ENOUGH !! " I say Vehemently not exactly needing to hear the rest since I have been able to hear out what I needed to hear.

***

The last thirty minutes have been like real hell to me. So much has happened to me. I have been going through all the various files just to make sure that by the time I get to meet the famous CEO of that international company, I have all the reasons to convince him to allow me to work with us.

Sincerely he is the only chance that I have to work with as I perhaps get to have those damn weddings come to pass .

Just then, the knock on the door almost makes me black out. I feel like ...I really don't want to describe any of these . It is like it is completely a different soul- a weak one that has taken over my body .

I triumphantly get up taking more than the normal steps to open the door . Then I see him .

He is stout , has his hair combed perfectly well . He is dressed in a bit oversized suit - was everything just on over rate.I don't know why but I feel a bit disappointed. My subconscious slightly chuckles at me but of course I just ignore her.

“ I am so glad to finally meet you , Mr Johns .” I say hiding the disappointment that I feel. I don't even know the source of the disappointment.

“ So happy to finally meet you but I am not him .” he says which makes some a bit puzzled not figuring out what exactly he means .

“ I mean I am Mr Johns . I am just his PA. I came here only to inform you that we shall not be able to cooperate with your company at the moment . We have so much going on right now.”

I don't know if it is really me who is listening to those heart breaking words at the moment . How I wish they knew how much I needed that f*****g cooperation then all would have been perfectly okay .

I don't even know how he gets out of my office. The truth is I really don't need to know at all. I get to my seat and practically throw myself into it . I feel my whole body shattered right now.

Out of the blue, there is only one idea that flashes into my head at the moment . I Know it may not be a good idea but...
