Juni got home to an anxious and worried Carmen Cartel ,he had run into traffic which had delayed him making him get home right before the clock chimed 3am.
She was so worried that she was on her fourth cup of coffee out of fear of falling asleep when Juni got home,she hugged him before reprimanding him,he just smiled and finally managed to coerce her into sleeping 20mins later.
Juni could only sleep for 3hours as his alarm clock thrilled, remembering his important dinner appointment,he quickly got up to take his bath and dressed in a nice shirt,tie and fit work trousers,he watched his wife turn in bed as he applied his cologne and quickly went downstairs to make himself a strong cup of coffee.
By 7:20am,the hard-working editor was ready,he was just getting ready to snap close his briefcase and head out when his wife came down
"Morning babe"he offered
"Morning.."A groggy Carmen replied as she kissed him slightly on the lips and went to make her daily cup of watermelon juice
"For Derek?"Juni inquired
"Yes and mine, he's still asleep though"She replied
"He's still a kid"Juni said chuckling
"Yeah,right"Carmen said before adding "Heading out already?"
"Yeah babe,I got a big meeting today with Angela"He said before adding thoughtfully
"I will be back after dinner"
"Mmm.."Carmen mimed as she smiled slightly at him and then added "sure sweetheart,Goodluck and don't do anything I wouldn't do"
A chuckling Juni kissed her forehead as he grabbed his briefcase and car keys then headed out saying in a mock bow
"Yes,Mrs Cartel"
"Morning,Mr Cartel, read my book yet?"Sammy asked
"Not yet ,Sammy."Juni replied indifferent to the boy's expression as he put on a sad countenance.
The editor finally sighed as they reached his office floor before saying "Say what, Sammy? Ask me again in 3weeks and if I haven't read it by then ,I owe you hundred bucks "
Sammy's sad countenance turned into a wide grin as he said happily "you have yourself a deal.Have a great day Mr Cartel"
"You too,Sammy"Juni said smiling slightly as he headed to his office .
"Morning boss"Mark said from his position in front of juni's office.
"Morning ,Beyonce"Juni said as he went into his office with Mark right at his heels before asking"Did you take your bath?"
"Do not call me that.and yes,I did"Mark said looking a bit annoyed
"I will call you what I want, what's my schedule for the day except dinner?"Juni asked smiling at the end of his sentence
"Well, nothing much,just a book to review"Mark said
"Great,bring the book by 9am and in an hour after I'm done with it,Let's review that contract one more time"Juni said
"And get ready for your promotion"Mark added beaming
"Yeah,let's do that"Juni concluded as he leaned down in his chair.
He was confident about his deal proposal.
Today,he was going to sign Angela Mandela.
