"Your proposal lacks a lot of details and requires a lot of fund if we go through it, it's higher than our targeted budget, so it's rejected". Bonita said calmly after listening to the marketing team proposal.
"If I don't get an excellent proposal by the end of today, you are all gonna be fired, we don't pay you to come up with trashy ideas". She said angrily. "Next team!". She commanded. She was already getting angry listening to their rubbish.
"WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL!! GET YOUR TRASHY PROPOSALS OUT OF MY FACE IMMEDIATELY!!" Bonita finally blew up after listening to all their proposals. Everyone was scared and shaking as they listened to her scolding.
"I'M GIVE YOU ONE LAST CHANCE TO SUBMIT A PERFECT PROPOSAL! MEETING ADJOURNED!" immediately, the staffs got up, bowed and scurry away.
"Hello gentleman and ladies, so what's the problem on hand?" Bonita said finally facing the board of directors and her father.
"Welcome back vice president Singh". They all greeted again.
"We called this meeting today because our company is planning on opening a branch in Asia". President Singh spoke up. "I believe you have seen the draft I just sent you".
"Since you are in Asia, we are thinking you will be the one overseeing this project and will be the best candidate". One of the board members, Mrs Sanjana said.
"Some directors are against the idea, I want you to review the draft and tell me what you think?" president Singh said.
"In the draft, you will also see our company revenue and quarterly report". Raj, the president Secretary said. Bonita calmly went through the files as she listened to them.
"Over the years, the company has been able to dominate India and have subsidiaries in a lot of other countries, but we haven't been able to reach Asia....". Raj continues to explain, showing them the presentation. Bonita listened calmly as she continuously clicked her pen.
" I don't think we should expand to Asia, there are already many companies there already and if we were to just start up there, we'll end up losing a lot of money". One of the board member said rejecting the idea. Some others also agreed with him.
"I don't think it's a bad idea to expand, if we are able to establish a firm ground in Asia, that would be great and help the company". Another board member agreed with the idea.
" So what do you think of the plan to expand?" president Singh asked.
" To settle this issue, let's go with voting, those against the expansion signify by raising your hands". Bonita said calmly. Raj quickly counted the number.
"Those agreeing with the expansion, signify by also raising your hands". Raj also quickly took the number.
"We have a total of six persons against, and ten agreeing". Raj announced after counting the numbers carefully.
"Since majority wins the vote, I'll start checking for suitable site". Bonita said calmly.
"Since its all settled, the meeting is over". President Singh announced. The board of directors greeted her calmly before leaving.
"प्रिय मुझे तुम्हारी याद आती है
priy mujhe tumhaaree yaad aatee hai (honey I miss you in India)". President Singh said when it was just two of them.
"Pita (dad), mai bhee tumahe yaad karata hoo (I miss you too)". Bonita said smiling.
"aapaka matalab bachcha hai (you mean child), tum mujhe bhool gae (you forgot me), aapane mujhe phon bhee nahin kiya (you didn't even call me)". Singh black complained, pouting.
"kshama karen pitaaje (sorry dad) main agale tyohaar par ghar aane ka vaada karata hoon (I promise to come home next festival)". Bonita said holding her ears and acting cute.
"Vaada? (promise)". He asked instantly becoming excited.
"Vaada". Bonita said smiling. "Dad, I know why you are expanding to Asia". Bonita said smiling knowingly as she stared at him. Singh Black had a guilty expression on his face as he tried avoiding staring at her.
"Pita!"
"Alright, I want to see you, is it so wrong?" Singh ask staring at his daughter. "and also, it's where your mom is from". After saying that there was silence. They stared at each other sadly.
"Your choice pita, but why the heck did you get me into your plan, I already have a lot on my plate". Bonita grumbled.
"You are the vice president and you are good with this, besides I wasn't the one who volunteer you, you willingly accepted it". Singh raised his hand showing his innocent.
"Pita!" bonita grumbled.
"alavida priy (Bye honey)". Singh said and quickly disconnected. Bonita grumbled as she closed her laptop, she stretched her hands sighing.
"Any orders miss". Aakash asked appearing.
"I'm sure you heard the conversation, I want you to go and check out this site tomorrow with me". Bonita said standing up. "For now don't disturb me except it's very important". Bonita said calmly going to the side room.
================
"Hey guys". Bonita happily walked up to Mickey and Hannah.
"Hey bony, so what crime did you commit?" Mickey asked.
"Just some random unimportant stuffs". Bonita said seating, "I'm starving". She grabbed the menu and ordered.
"Glutton". Hannah said.
"Hey, I'm starving, besides you literally dragged me out of bed in the morning without even letting me eat breakfast". Bonita said justifying herself.
"What time is your race?" Mickey asked as he bit his burrito.
"Thursday, by 5 p.m, are you guys coming?" Yanmei asked as she took a large bite of her lasagna. "Yum...this is so delicious".
"Glutton".
Bonita glared at Hannah.
"Yeah, we'll be there". Mickey said smiling.
"Great, I'll give you two tickets and save the best spot for you guys". Bonita nodded dusting her hands as she grabbed her chicken sandwich.
"Hey! I didn't agree to come with you!" Hannah protest.
"Come on Han, it's going to be fun, besides we are going there to cheer for bony". Michael convinced.
"She doesn't need cheering she's gonna win". She protested.
"Yeah you are right, nobody can defeat me". Bonita nodded.
"Narcissistic". Hannah muttered.
"Come on Hannah, don't be such a scared kitty cat". Michael teased.
"Fine! I'll go on one condition". She said smiling mischievously.
"What?" Mickey and bonita asked together.
"You guys will go clubbing with me and I'll be the one deciding what we wear".
"Ugh... You know I've something to do tomorrow morning so I don't have time to play with you". Bonita immediately rejected the idea.
"Yeah me too". Mickey also rejected.
"If you guys don't agree, I'll go on my own, and you know what happens when I'm drunk". Hannah threatened.
"So are you guys in or out?"
