A famous media storage device company is set to have its first Asian branch in the Philippines. It is the most anticipated collaboration of the year according to the economists; this team up is expected to boost the Philippine economy once it starts operating.
Sealed Corporation is a storage device and has only six branches all over the world mostly in European and North American region.
Since the day the CEO of Sealed has announced that he has been planning to branch out the company in Asia, investors all over the continent have tried their best to approach the members of the management team of the company. Everyone is hoping to be the chosen collaborator.
Proposals piled up the desks of the management team employees. Everyday investors will email, deliver or personally send their proposals to the team, assuming they will get the chance to gain connections and benefits with Sealed Corporation.
From the time, the CEO of Orb, a multi-telecommunication company, heard the news of Sealed Corporation expansion in Asia. He assigned his top liaison to communicate and promote their company to Sealed Corporation. Mr. Baron is well acquainted with the Cortez' family, and when he found out that Mr. Fuentes will be the groomsman of his god-son. He forthwith invited him to a series of appointments to discuss and promote Orb to Sealed Corporation.

"Nickel, the higher-ups signed the contract yesterday and will announce the collaboration next-next week.
And also the Vice-president on Administration assigned you as the branch Managing director to the Asian branch."
It was a rare opportunity for Nickel to handle deals out of his work hours, although he belonged to the management and administration department; he seldom meets people for deals and collaborations as he wasn't responding to this project.
It happened that Mr. Baron was a close family friend of Leo's parents and to respect his best friend's parents he decided to meet him up.
When he received his invitation, he directly advised his director about the circumstances as he didn't know what to do and what to expect in terms of meeting up people for deals and collaborations that isn't his project at all.
"Listen to his proposal, if you think his proposal will benefit our company, then accept it. Tell him, that you have to discuss it first before signing the contract." His director and friend said after giving him a call and address the issue.
After the night at a bar near the metro where he also meets the Zoey, Nickel went back to his unit and joined the video conference of his team.
Notwithstanding the time difference of Philippines and Montana, Nickel participated in the conference among the other members of his department.
"If I will handle this branch how about my place there?"
"I can handle it by myself and assign Fred to be your replacement for the meantime. Director Smith advised that if you agree to be the Managing Director of the Asian branch he will send a new one here."
Regardless of their supervisor-staff relationship, Nickel and his director are both good friends to each other. They talk casually but never disrespect their positions. They called it brothers-relationship as they first become friends before becoming a supervisor and staff of one another.
"Henceforth if I agree to be, the director can I request one from finance to bring here?"
"Who was it then? Don't tell me you want to bring Amanda, my lovable Amanda in your country?" His friend asked.
"Of course not, I want Alcantara to be my Accounting officer here."
"Alcantara? You mean Zoey?"
"Yes!"
"Well, that would be great. I saw her name on the list of those who want to be relocated to our Asian branch."
