Jevan's POV🥝🥝
I arrived at the office exactly 6am,
did a brief cross-check of my presentation, then was adjusting my tie..,not that I was nervous but I wanted to appear as confident and presentable as I have always been. I took my seat and went through a few documents.Then, I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in". It was Paula, my PA.
"Good morning Jevan... I mean boss.. erm here's your coffee", Paulina ,my PA said always pretending to be shy and intimidated by me.
"Very well,thanks", I said giving her a little smile nothing much.
"Anything you need sir?",she asked again.
"I'm ok, you can go get back to work", I said a took a sip of the coffee then sign out the document for presentation.
"Oh yes... I..erm.. I was wondering..."she began to stammer out but paused looking at me . I rose my head up to look at her since I was seated.
"What is it? " I gestured for her to continue.
"Your tie…. Can I help adjust your neck tie?", She said looking at the spot with a weird expression
I couldn't read.
"O really, haven't noticed but it's fine", I said as I stood on my feet heading towards the large framed mirror on my left to adjust it properly. Then, I heard fits of ear piercing giggles,one that can make a soul loose both eardrums.
I'm not kidding.
I turned to face the suspect, wondering what made her giggle that much.
"It's still crooked sir, let me help you",she said as she marched closer to where I stood and began adjusting the tie around the collar of my neck .
"Here.. it's all done", she said with her hands on her side as she looked up at me then staring for long until I was the first to break up eye contact.
"Your Grandma's fun to be with , she suddenly broke the silence.
Then there was another knock on the door;it opened to reveal Kevin all polished up in a suit , holding up a smiling.
"They're here all ready for you, c'mon man let's head towards the boardroom",He said looking at me, he too holding a weird facial expression then smirking through with his eyes only on one direction.
Ah oh what?
Then I noticed. Paulina's hand we're on my chest as if there's something going on , standing in a position as if there's something going on between us already.
"Got it, let's go now", I said making a move towards the door.which made Paulina drop her hands off my chest.
We made it straight to the main boardroom and made it in where the investors stood up to welcome me, they were seven in all of which three of them were from Turkey and four from Canada. After shaking hands with them, I took my seat at the high table.
"It's my pleasure to see you all to my Noble company", I said obviously.
A few minutes after the presentation for my project, I signaled Paulina to hand over the documented handouts to both companies.
"I'd like to express my views",Mr Richie, the CEO amongst the Turkish investors spoke up.
"Go on please", I offered.
"Urm I have decided to invest a hundred percent in this stock project so I can receive huge returns on it on the said date", Mr Richie said.
"I second you Mr Richie, I have also decided to invest 2.5 billion dollars in this stock project plus bring about creativity and skills in order to support this project to make it much more huge",Mr Persie the CEO of Great Logistics and Finance Limited commented.
"I appreciate your contributions towards this project but, all we have to put in mind is.., this project is already at it's peek ever since it was introduced into the market . All we have to do is to extend it further globally. The more investment we make towards it, the bigger and better it becomes in merit to us and the world at large. At this venture, I'll introduce to you Paulina,my executive assistant to take us through the PowerPoint presentation slides so we know where our target market is,thank you", I said then took my seat so Paulina can take over. A hands of applause was given to welcome her.
"Good morning everyone,thank you for giving me the opportunity to stand before you. I present to you slides of how this project has been extended to in parts of the continents", Paulina said as she drew attention to the slides been projected.
"Let me take you through a brief history of how the project was founded and the creative mind behind this project", she went on and on analysing the situation at hand and projecting our target countries especially in Africa and Europe.
After a successful meeting and in all coming to an agreement then signing on the contract for the project, they left pleased.
"Great work Mr Walters, I'm very pleased with your presentation we're hoping for a better progress in a month or two". "I hope you are going to fulfill your grandfather's dreams, Mr Richie the Turkish CEO said with a smirk as he shook hands with me. He's a middle age in his late forties, having grey hairs already sticking out.
I only nodded. "A part of my ambitions", I told him firmly.
"Urm right is she your new chick?", Mr Richie suddenly said out of nowhere.
"What are you implying?", I asked then he gestured to Paulina who was shaking hands with other executives as they look at her with hungry eyes.
"She's beautiful and sexy, grab her now before she's out of your reach", he continued to say then wink at me.
"Look, you must be mistaken, everything that goes on in my premises is strictly professional sir. "Don't feed words into my mouth", I warned.
"It's an advise son, your father would be glad in his grave if you make a move now and tie the knot, produce an heir who will take over in the future. "I hope by now you realize everyone in the business sector has tied their knots and produced heirs", he said with a smirk as he still stared at Paulina. Paulina sensing that someone is watching her, sashaying her way towards.
"Hello Congratulations and thank you for coming sir", she said
extending her pedicured fingers towards Mr Richie for a handshake , of which he took then gave her a peg on it.
"The pleasure is all mine, you should give all your gratitude to your boss for his hard work", He said winking at me .
Then suddenly my phone rang, looking at the caller ID it was Grandma.
"Excuse me", I said to them as I picked up the call and then passed by heading towards the entrance of the boardroom to my office.
"Hello son", I heard Grandma's voice at the other end of the call.
"Hi Grandma".
"Hope you've taken your lunch?",she asked.
"I will Gran, I just finish with my presentation"
"Lil's on her way to your office with your lunch". "The good news is I had fun time making your favorite veggies with Valeria,o my gosh she's fun to be with!", She exclaimed.
My grandma can be a teenager sometimes.
"Really?.
I can't believe this, that girl can't even wipe up her feet buh come to think..she could cook? Hmm...Unbelievable! I have to see for myself. I hope the food tastes good .
"You should learn how to appreciate what she does son, just in a mean time, I have grown to love her irrespective of the background she comes from". "Anyways see you home soon",she
said then hang up.
Damn it! I hope she hasn't given her false hopes.
This Valeria girl is a Ninja.
