It's been a week since I heard from Hernan. The words he left before leaving were just too heavy for me to take it easy.
I took the ring he gave me and I kept staring at it while sitting on the chair with a table with a pile of files to verify.
"May I enter"
It's my manager Mr Davidson. I don't know where I'd be dying if he doesn't help me with all my works. I never show him my appreciation but I really appreciate what he does for me.
"Ma'am! I think you should really check this status"
I am taken back from my world of thoughts.
Davidson turns the screen on and shows how much of our graph was falling and overtaken by other companies.
"What is this? Organise staff meeting in five minutes" I put the ring in the drawer.
The over all meeting was hell hectic. We had to promote more of our products to other areas of the world as well. We badly needed a collaboration or partnership with other countries.
"Asia! This is our target" I stood up at my word as if I was in a movie or something.
"But ma'am which part of Asia?" questions one of my employee
We knew Asia has become quite influencing because of style and fashion and that was what our company really about.
"Seoul, Korea"
I said it but there was a lot of work to be done because we've never visited that place before ever.
The meeting continued for an hour or 2 more than it usually used to.
There was a lot of work to do.
I decided to go to Korea by myself rather than sending others because I cannot trust them with their works anymore. They messed up the marketings once I was out of the business for few hours daily since I was with Hernan Miller. I couldn't trust them with such a big responsibilities.
"Mr Davidson, these are the names of the employees I want to take me with" I handed over a file to him. There were only five of them but I like to do things in a professional way so I chose the file rather than just naming them.
The visa was all ready and I had to do some works at my office some weeks before I leave.
"Ma'am, don't you think you are pushing yourself way too much?" Davidson brought me the 7th cup of coffee on my table.
I looked at him exhausted, "Why are you still here? You should leave, it's getting too late" I checked the time on my phone and it was already 12 pass at night.
"No ma'am, we're in this together" he smiled at me.
For his sake I pretended my work was over for the day. I drove him home.
"Ma'am you should really open up sometimes" He said before leaving the car.
May be I I looked at him to harshly that he just left rushing before o could say anything.
Going to South Korean for launching my brand was difficult but I've been taking risks all my life and I always knew that a perfect plan was a result of a perfect cheque.
So here's my new journey on a new road.
