As Juni sat there ,deep in his own thoughts surrounded by rich old men practically discussing the economy,he felt an elbow nudge him and he looked up to see his father in law grinning at him.
It took Juni some mins to register what the man had said "My son in law here is one of the best editor at Clements ,you know?in a few,I have a feeling he is going to occupy a higher post, something more deserving, right boy?"
Juni atfirst didn't know whether this was supposed to be an insult or a compliment but like the man he was,he just went with the flow and smiled wearily at the old men who continued chattering on without him
Within his mind turmoil,the pressure increased,if he doesn't get the promotion like his father in law said,that would really diminish his acknowledgement by the old man and that was not something he wished for.
Even if Carmen was sulky about the whole episode of her dad disrespecting her husband and Juni was more worried and concerned about work,Derek had quite thetime of his life with his rich ass grandfather that fateful Sunday.

Monday came as briefly as it always this.
This might have just been another day to other people but for Juni Cartel,it meant a week has passed away from the duration of two weeks that he got.
He wondered how his opponent was faring and he found himself chuckling slightly in the shower "ofcourse,he's doing well, he's Charles Dickson after all and here I am ,still off to go on another appointment with some hope of whether it will get signed...No!" He stopped himself midway
"Whatever happens,I'm getting this contract signed,after all they haven't said what would happen if they both happen to get their contracts signed right? whatever happens, I'm going to get promoted "
He admonished himself as he washed.
Dressing up in a shirt with his favorite jacket on,He kissed his sleeping wife's forehead who only ever stirred so slightly but didn't wake up.
"She must be quite exhausted"he thought to himself as he headed down the stairs to brew himself a cup of coffee but just as he moved near the kitchen counter,his wrist watch alarm beeped 7am
"What?did I oversleep or took too much time bathing?"he wondered as he bounded into his sleek car which rose to life almost immediately and headed out.
Mondays always seemed a bit rushed,for reals.

"Good morning,Mr Cartel,Going up?"Sammy asked grinning
"Always, Sammy, always"Juni replied with a smile.

"Morning,Mr Cartel,had quite a weekend?"Mark greeted as he followed Juni into his office in tow.
Juni sighed a bit as he dropped his briefcase on the table and was fixing his shirt buttons properly when he looked at Mark quizzically
"Yes,it was quite eventful,Beyonce and did you or did you not ask a fox to brush your hair this morning because it's really rough?"
Mark sighed long and hard as he ran his hand through his hair "you could have simply told me to go brush my hair,you know"
"Now where's the fun in that?"Juni smiled slightly as he instructed "oh by the way,get me a cup of coffee"
"Woke up late, didn't you?"Mark asked smirking
"Would be great if you minded your business ,now go get me that coffee before you lose your Job"Juni threatened
"Always with a threat,now where's the fun in that?"Mark's smirk still intact until he recieved a death glare from his boss and headed out quickly with a "Yes sir"
