After two years.....
"What? In all the countries I have travelled for my concert tours, why on earth, this country New Zealand is giving me problems for my visa? It's just a concert tour, I'm not staying there any more longer than I should!" Karl in a disappointed tone, on his phone talking to his talent manager.
"Some higher-ups as an administrator has disapproved your visa for some reasons I don't know." his manager replied being confused.
"Can you arrange an appointment so we can have a video conference?"
"I'll try to arrange it with her then."
"Her? Did you mean the administrator is a woman?"
"Yes, she is a woman. But, for some reasons, she don't want to disclose her personality then."
"Ow? Why is that?"
"I don't really know."
"Alright, if she don't want to disclose her personality, then maybe you can arrange an appointment, for me to call her at a certain time then, so I can talk to her."
"We will see, I'll make the necessary arrangements and will update you then."
"Alright, let me know the soonest possible then. Thanks manager."
"Don't thank me yet."
"Do whatever you have to do to set this appointment."
"Will do."
They both bid their byes and ended the call.
Karl, being left puzzled, couldn't help but remembering how he managed to be the famous rock star worldwide in just 2 years time.
His albums have been sold like a zillion times. He won the Platinum award recently. And he had been travelling for concert tours almost in every countries of the world with no problems encountered so far. That's why he is in bewilderment now, why this female administrator has disapproved his visa?
"Hmm, she is something else!", he exclaimed.
A few hours later, he heard a call from his manager again. Immediately he answered it.
"Well Karl, I managed to set an appointment for you to call her. Here's her number xxxxxxxxx and you can call her tomorrow at 9 in the morning."
"Okay then, thanks!"
"Be reminded that she's not just an "easy to deal with" kind of person. But you can try your shots".
"Okay, will do. Bye"
After the call had ended, Karl was left in his deepest thoughts on how he could convince the female administrator to approve his visa.
Could it be that he could offer her something to bargain or deal with, or plead with her or anything? Hmmm he is in a great puzzlement.
He didn't notice the time that it's becoming late at night now, and he was still pondering about the female administrator. Until he just fell asleep out of being tired of thinking much.
He was awaken the next morning, when the light of the sun sneak out at the side of his windows and brightly shining onto his eyes.
He then checked on the clock and it's already eight oclock in the morning. Upon realizing that he only got an hour before he could call the female administrator, he then got up from his bed and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. He did a quick wash on his body too.
He then ate his breakfast that was delivered by the roomboy earlier. For he pre-ordered it last night and instructed the front desk personnel to have it delivered by their roomboy without waking him up. And the roomboy did delivered it.
And he was joyfully munching his food enjoying the taste of it. It was egg omelette with pancakes and ham. He mixed it all, stuffed it in between the pancakes like in a sandwich, and then sliced it smaller into bite-sized slices.
By the time he is done, it's five minutes before nine o'clock. He then sat at the side of his bed and took his phone to ready himself to call. He started to open his phone and scroll on the number of the female administrator he had saved on his contacts last night.
At exactly nine o'clock, he then dialed her number...
"Good morning Miss Administrator! This is Karl, the famous rock star, speaking, whom you refuse to approve my visa for my concert tour in your country. May I know, what do I need to do, to acquire your approval then?"
"Karl, the famous rock star hmmm? Since you are, as you said the famous rock star, if I demand some conditions and terms for you to do, would you be willing to do it then?"
Shocked by her direct to the point reply, he paused for a moment and then said, "Yes, of course! How, and what would you want me to do then, Miss Administrator?", inquired Karl.
Silence between them for a moment. And then she coughed out her voice a little before continuing....
