Time passed so fast and change is inevitable. Change might be threatening but worth to be undergone if the usual is no longer effective, if it no longer yields productive outcome. The new hope is given to promising couriers,they deserve it.... and a challenge to those that were dropped. If they wanted to get back to the circle of the company, they must possess exemplary features and give quality services.
The three couriers expectedly asked their "why's" but rebutted with "Why not?" To be fair, they were given the opportunity to present and persuade the company of their worth. When the presentations were done, without naming the name of the new couriers that were about to sign contracts with the company and without prejudicing them, their innovative features were also presented purposely to challenge those that were dropped to do better. They were amenable to their shortcomings except for the R's representative who got so pale and stood to go without saying good bye. With this update, I knew, I declared a silent war with Rona but business is business.
On the other hand, the unit head who represented R's company immediately tender his resignation after having an emergency meeting with his team. He had personally met Richard prior to the meeting and lay down his cards to him. He felt he doesn't deserve to stay because he failed the company by losing a giant contract. Though he and his team knew that they did their best to submit proposals for innovations but Rona rejected it all without taking into consideration the content of the proposals. Richard knew it all but he could not break not even bend the decision of his hard headed wife Rona.
Richard fully understood the sentiment of this loyal and hardworking man but that's all he can do. With a heavy heart, he accepted his resignation and gave him a lump sum amount to compensate his years in service and for the good things he had done to them. Lucky that Rona was overseas doing her shopping in Hongkong and did not catch him in the office or else, things would be worst. But soon after she heard the news, she booked a flight right away and headed home. From the airport, he directly went to her office and as soon as she stepped the floor of the building, she shouted so loud that made the employees tremble in fear. Some even cried in silence and feared to move or look at her direction. Atmosphere of tension and fear was so high. Rona rushed to the main office where Richard was standing at a corner and staring the wall like he was in another world.
