Few weeks later A luxurious car rolled up in front of a towering dazzling modern commercial building made of more glass than walls. The driver hurried out of the matte black car and hurried to open the back door. A handsome middle-aged man well dressed in a deep blue blazer over a black turtle neck shirt and matching pants, stepped out of the car in his shiny black shoes. His black shiny hair was finely slicked back. Bob stood to tuck on his suit and turned around to offer a hand to the other person in the car. A long slender arm extended out of the car and was gently placed on the man’s hand. The man stepped back as a beautiful blonde lady dressed in white blazers worn over a black formal gown with a small black purse to match, stepped out of the car in leather black sandal heels. Bob smiled at the lady and said to her. “Are you ready, Val?” Valerie who seemed a little below the age of thirty retracted her hands from the gentleman’s and nodded her head as she said. “ I can’t wa
The board room had a delicate interior design of cream and golden. A chandelier hung on the ceiling along with artificial lights that had the whole room looking dimly celestial. Brown curtains with golden embroidery covered the transparent window glasses, efficiently making the business meeting that was going on in the room at the moment seem quite weighty.A screen was cast before the four individuals who sat on the round table in the middle of the room. A man of excellent countenance stood beside the screen and pointed at the screen at intervals as he made explanations as to the statistics on the board. " ... Therefore, you'll agree with me that productions have been steady in the past weeks as illustrated in this chart"" While we managed our best to reduce cost placed on us by both our suppliers and maintenance, it is quite in remorse that I say that the current economy isn't aiding as much as presumed..." " But indeed we've managed to sustain stability in our business through th
Bob stared in silence at his wife for a long while with a delighted smirk on his angular face. Courtney didn't back down either as she glared with a frown on her face at Bob. From Val's perspective, it only seemed like the couple were having a conversation with their gazes. Val just watched this without expressing much of her worry, despite what she was feeling inside. " It's simple..." Bob broke his stare with his wife and turned to face Val as he spoke. " Miss Val here is a very talented asset, and I've gone the extra mile to convince her to put in her talent for our company"' Miss Val?' Courtney creased her gaze." I want her to take the position of Managing director Parrish"Courtney's previously calm expression instantly bittered after hearing Bob's words. She couldn't help but let her eyes widen in utter shock. She stared at Bob like he was crazy or something. However, seeing his firm demeanor, She looked towards the so-called " Miss Val" with extreme prying intent in her gaz
Maggie stood in front of the table with her gaze fixated on the ground and her whole body grew as tense as the room. "Strip!" Courtney ordered in a chill tone that resounded in an echo through the room, making Maggie shiver and shoot her gaze up towards the magnificent lady staring daggers at her from afar. Her heart crossed and her legs became weak just at the sight of the gaze she gave her. Maggie quivered again as she suffered from a blazing cold. This cold wasn't due to the surrounding temperature nor the air conditioner in the room, this was due to the cold gaze that latched unto her from across the table, as over there sat a person that gave her the cold chills. It was like a predator peering a gaze at its prey.Seeing how the CEO creased her gaze, Maggie quickly started to unbutton her cloth. Piece by piece, layer by layer, until she was left only in her black brassiere and lingerie, with her long sexy legs in pantyhose in view. She slowly reached to unbuckle her bra, and let
Monday, following week..." Mark, do you happen to know who the new managing director is?" Asked a brunette lady dressed in a black sleeveless buttoned blazer gown worn over a white shirt, portraying her vase-like curves as she leaned over the long table which the marketing team was seated. With the crease in her almond shaped eyes, one could tell that she was curious to know who the new managing director was. And who better to ask than the assistant manager?Everyone else in the room anticipated the answer of the young looking middle-aged man reclining in his chair with his brown hair standing tall in a neat quiff style. His symmetric jawline was cordially outlined by his beard. It was exactly Mark Hawkins.Mark raised his gaze from his cell phone towards Kaitlyn, " I have no idea, Kate." He shrugged. Mark wasn't in the least worried about a change in who held the position of managing director. Odds are, he'd be named the new managing director. Who knows?Kaitlyn made a difficult fac
Mark quivered as he paced about in his office after the introduction was over. He tried to understand just what was going on.He pondered just how Val had made it into Citadel's, that too becoming the managing director. The last time he checked, wasn't she a customer service assistant? Mark thought even himself, with all the experience he had, couldn't have gone from being a customer service assistant to a managing director within weeks. He knew there had to be a likely story behind it, and he sought to figure it out...Mark stopped on his pace and perched on the ergonomic desk of natural wooden preface. He tapped his index finger on his temple as he tried to recall a clue from his past interaction with Val. He knew she majored Corporate communications in college. Without doubt, it wasn't even about qualifications. ' What then..?'He rummaged in his memory of years spent together with Val, only to end up clueless. That only meant one thing...' Something must have happened after we
Val was still getting acquainted with her new office when she heard a knock on the door to her office. She turned her gaze from the files she was looking into, towards the door and awaited to see who it was as the door knob turned. Her expression grew blank when Mark walked in her office and Val visibly scoffed. Mark saw this but just stood by the door after closing it behind him. He stared at the tip of his shoes for a long while, unsure of what to do or say. He wouldn’t say he had ever dreamed to be in this situation in any of his worst nightmares. There was nothing he could say nor do to right his wrongs. He only had the decency to not look Val in the face.Yes, He’d done really wrong to Val, and as such he should be happy that she’s at least doing well in life. However, if he was being realistic he hated whatever this was. “ Honey-“ “ Don’t even dare!” Val raised a finger to warn. “ Don’t even think about it” Val stated word for word in a trembling tone, obviously seething wit
" Haa!"Valerie erupted in exasperation after thirty minutes of trying to understand the charts and reports in the files scattered about her work desk. The thought of Mark and the conversation he had with him was completely erased from her mind, though the bittersweet feeling still remained...Of course, She used to love mark. And though it wasn't like she loved him anymore, the feeling of commitment she had for him still remained, and it was hard to get it out of her heart. Nevertheless, it's only a phase.Val's head swirled as harmful whispers of words she was familiar with, but had different meanings within business context, echoed in her mind.'Sales per capita... Growth marketing... churn rate...'She thought the last one might be exactly what she'd use to describe the speed at which her head spun and how nauseous she was at the moment. Val was quite acquainted with sales per capita as a business term to an extent, but churn rate? flywheel? she could only denote them in literal s
