The next morning, I was awoken by the alarm. I turned off the alarm, I looked at the time and the time is 7: 45am. Shit I'm late for work.
I ran to the bathroom, I brushed my teeth. I really didn't have time to shower, I just wore neat clothes, I applied perfume. I brushed my hair, I grabbed my bag and I dashed out of my apartment.
I got to the stairs and I met my landlord. "Your rent is due Lilith!!" my landlord yelled. "Good morning to you too". I said as I ran down to stairs.
I tried hauling a taxi but some one beat me to it. It looks like I'm gonna run to work. I started running but a car pulled up in front of me, the window came down and someone wearing glasses looked at me.
"Need a lift?" He asked. "No thank you, I'm almost there" I said. "Don't you recognize me?" He asked. "No" I replied. "Lilith it's me....Wesley" He said. "Wesley?.....for real? Oh, my God. Wesley" I said.
"So do you need a lift?" He asked. "Um.....no, there's no need" I said. "Lilith it's the least I could do" He said. "Um..." I said. "Don't say no" Wesley said.
I reluctantly entered the car. Wesley drove to the company. "Thank you" I said. "You're welcome...can I have your number" Wesley said. "Sure" I said. I gave him my number and I immediately jumped out of the car. "Goodbye" Wesley said. "Bye" I said.
I entered the company, I ran straight to my office. "You're late" I heard a voice say from behind, I slowly turned to see Jerry the accountant standing behind me with a cup of coffee in his hand. "Care it explain why you're late?" Jerry asked.
"I overslept" I said with a smile on my face. I know that he can't do or say anything. I went to my office. "Good morning Sir" I said. "Lilith where have you been?" Mr White said. "Um....I went to get a latte for myself" I said. "You went to get a latte for yourself?" Mr White asked.
"Yes....." "So where is it?" "I drank it on my way here" I said. "Alright, we're having meeting today with the board of directors...so I expect you to be prepared" Mr White said. "Yes Sir" I said. "Now get me a cup of latte.....would you?" "Yes Sir" I sighed in relief as I walked towards the elevator. "Lilith....no sugar please" "Yes Sir" I said.
I went to get the latte, I returned from the coffee shop. "Lilith, Lilith....wait up" Angela said. I stopped to know why she called, she ran to me. "Lilith.....aren't you going to tell me" Angela said. "Tell you what?" I asked in confusion. "Don't pretend.....I'm talking about the car that dropped you off and the hot guy that was inside"
"Stop talk nonsense Angela" I said. "Lilith who is he?" Angela asked. "Someone" I said. "Someone?.....who's important?" "Angela please I need to get this latte to Mr White" I said. "Don't worry about the latte.....I'd ask someone to give the latte to Mr White while you tell me everything in details"
"Thank you very much Angela but last time I checked, I have hands and legs....which by the way are working perfectly fine" I said. "Come on Lilith...if you have nothing to do with him could you at least hook me up with him?" Angela said.
"Angela I never told you I was fisher man that would hook up fishes" I said. "Are you calling me a fish?" Angela said "I never said it.....out loud but you took the words out of my mouth" I said. Angela stormed off, I guess that takes care of that.
I got to my office. "Lilith what took you so long?" Mr White asked "The line at the café was a little bit too long" I said. "I see.....anyway I hope you're prepared" Mr White said "For what?" I asked. "For the meeting of course" "Um....."
"Come on Lilith the presentation starts in an hour" Mr White said. "I'd go get ready immediately" I said. I went to my desk and started rehearsing for the presentation. "Over the past month we've noticed that the.....that the....um....Argh I just can't concentrate.
The meeting had already begun. Everyone was seated, Mr White gave me the signal to begin. "Over the past month we've noticed that the stocks has gone low and the only solution is if we make the product more affordable for those that can't afford it.....and I also think that we should make the product more presentable....I mean it's okay the way it is but I feel like we could do more withith the packaging and advertising"
"We could also expand our organization, we could make it easier for people to get our products....for instance if we advertise it on line an perhaps a customer orders something, we could make it out number one priority to deliver on time" I said.
Ever one whispered and Mr White had his head on his forehead as a sign of disappointment. Suddenly everyone began to clap, I myself am surprised. I thought all I just said was rubbish but I had no idea the board of directors would love the idea.
"Well done...you have given us a meaningful presentation" A man said. "Thank you" I said. The meeting was over and I went to the office. Mr White hugged me. "You did it Lilith...."
