I was sitting in my office going through the last details of the presentation, my mother's words were repeating in my ears I was in my train of thoughts when suddenly I heard my name and got startled. "Good morning, princess" Chris entered my office with a cup of coffee in his hand.
"Here is your brew coffee," he said with a smile and passed me a cup of coffee.
"Thanks for the coffee, Chris." I took the cup from him and gave him a small smile.
"So are you nervous?" he inquired and sat in front of me.
"Not really", I said flatly and started to go through all the details for the last time. "
Okay then see you in the conference room." he got up and gave me confident smile and patted my head.
"Thanks, Chris without your help and trust it would not be possible." I smiled fixed myself, took all my important documents and my laptop, and head towards the conference room following Chris.
As I put things on the table Chris entered the conference room with Mr. Zang behind him with his two subordinates. I wished them with a bow and started my presentation. Everything was going well until Mr. Zang said that he wanted a few changes.
"WHAT THE HELL!" I thought in my mind "why is he making it difficult for me, he deliberately took out faults in the presentation and gave me a cold stare. I don't understand how on earth I have offended him."
Ryan, I love to see her frustrated face, and more than that I love to annoy her, "I need some changes in the decoration, I want it more subtle and you have to arrange a conference hall for a press conference as well." I said in a cold tone, she was shooting daggers at me from the other side of the conference hall. I'm liking it very much.
I was so frustrated because all the arrangements have been made and we have to start the decoration from the day after tomorrow and here he is giving me instructions at the last minute, is he kidding me, what does he think of himself, I'm not his slave and most importantly I already have a lot to deal with, I have to go for a meeting regarding my case, we just got some lead in the case and more importantly I have to spend more time with my mother how will I manage all this in this short period, he is asking again for changes in the decoration. But I'm left with no choice but to agree with this cold aloof man, so I nodded my head in agreement and went back to my chair.
"I want this ball party to be the most memorable party in Y city, I hope you will not disappoint me", With that, he got up from his chair and started to walk towards the door but before going out he turned towards me and said casually "I need all these changes to be done by tomorrow afternoon, Miss Yang I hope you are capable of doing that", with that he left with a smirk on his face.
After the exit of Mr. Zang, I looked towards Chris who was shocked as well by the sudden changes in the plan. What am I supposed to do now, I asked Chris while pulling my hair with my hands.
He passed me a sad smile and said calmly "Well, I know you will prepare a new report by tomorrow. I have full faith in you, princess just takes it as a challenge and shows what you're capable of."
"I am not a computer", I said in frustration, you already know that I want to spend most of my time in the hospital with my mom, she is in her last stage and I don't want to waste any time being with her and now I have to work until midnight because of this stupid event, with that I got up from the chair and went to my office. I called my assistant Emily and told her to tell everyone about the urgent meeting.
"May I come in Miss Yang", Emily asked politely. "Come in", I said without looking towards the door. My whole team was here.
I gestured them to take seats and instructed sternly "Tom, I need you to work on the arrangement of a conference room for a press conference. it should be well decorated and it should be well spacious, You have to report to me before eight at night". He nodded his head and left the room.
Herry, you have to change the all decorations from red and white to white and violet and arrange the most experienced bartender. We have ten days, I hope you will manage it on time. he also nodded his head and said, "Mam we have already done that, we just need to take a demo from the bartender and about the serving of drinks we have called the best catering in the Y city."
Emily, you just make a new proposal and mail it to me before ten in the morning. Am I clear to you all and don't make any mistake because we are in do or die situation, I want everything to be perfect?
After doing all the preparation, I went to Chris's office to discuss all the changes that I have made.
"I have to discuss the new proposal with you, I said while entering his office with some stock of papers in my hand, I have made all necessary arrangements as per his requirement here is the detail of it." I hand over him those papers and sat on the chair.
'You are fast, princess, you have made a new proposal in no time that's why you're the star manager of our company", he stated while going through all the details in the files.
This is my work Chirs and I'm responsible for my team and I don't want to waste their hard work. Mr. Zang is a stubborn man, A wolf in sheep's clothing, I never listened to him meeting with any event, manager before, but this time not once but twice he met us, this is bizarre like The Ryan Zang had got time to waste on discussing the flower arrangement about the party. I'm astonished by this man's guts.
I was going through the last detail of the project when Emily entered my office, Miss yang here is the detail about the changes which you have told us to do. Tom has already booked the conference room for the press conference. Very good, let us go for dinner, tell them to join us in the restaurant across the road. Emily nodded and left my office. I grabbed my car keys and bag and moved towards the basement.
As I entered the restaurant I saw that my assistant was sitting in the corner seats. I went there and told them to order food. We started talking about the project and eating our dinner. After finishing our dinner we bid goodbye to each other and started to move toward our destinations.
As I was about to start the engine I got a call from Chris who told me to meet him in the Brew cafe. I start the engine and accelerated my car towards the cafe. As I reached there I got out of the car and went inside the Cafe, Hey Princess, Chris shouted from his seat. I went towards him and sat on the chair. Why have you called me? I asked and order an espresso.
"I want to talk about something,"
"I am not in the mood of listening to your jokes right now, Chris as I have to go to the hospital to check on my mom".
"Well, Cherry, I want to talk about us."
"Please, Chris if you want to start that topic again please stop it, as you know I am not going to get married any time soon. I don't believe in love. You are my only friend and I don't want to lose you" I said with determination.
"But, Cherry I just want a chance to prove my love to you. What has happened in your past you have to forget about that. Please move on from him. Is it that hard to forget that asshole?" he spoke in rage
"I don't want to talk about it, Chris. Please don't bring it up again. I have to go to the hospital and one more thing he been none to me from the day he left me alone." I clarified calmly that I left him alone there.
Meanwhile, in AW's apartment, a man was talking on the phone with someone about Miss Cherry." I want to know everything about her from her past and present, every single bit of information by tomorrow morning". He cut the call and sat on the couch while smoking with one hand and holding a glass of Bourbon in another. You have become a more beautiful kitten and you have forgotten me. I fell in love with you when I met you in university for the first time, you took me to breathe away, and know you're making it more difficult for me to stay away from you. Just wait a little kitten, You will be mine and I will make sure that you always be with me. From now on you are only allowed to think about me, you will only be with me. I will not allow any man near you. I am coming for you. Just wait for a little, my kitten. With that, he killed the bud in the ashtray and gulped his whole glass of bourbon in one go, while smirking at the photo on the table.
