Heart on Sale

A meeting has been going for hours which included almost all the board members of Icarus Airlines and the issue was its struggle to keep up with the market. No matter the numbers of facilities they were providing their passengers, their shares were dropping and the big shots were yet to come up with a solution which can stop their ship from sinking.

As she was also a board member thanks to her husband, Eva had already given them several ideas, and the one who strongly denied them was none other than her husband, Sebastian Angelos, the chairman of Icarus Airlines.

"May I suggest something?" The ever so polite Michel spoke up in a sweet angelic voice, and the quick look of admiration from Sebastian didn’t go unnoticed by Eva.

"You may." Sebastian assured her with fondness in his eyes.

"There is a travel film maker who got quite famous over the years and he has been promoting many high end companies which are related to travel. As far as I know he is yet to get involved with any Airlines." Well she did her studies.

"Are you talking about Movesah? My daughter is a big fan of him." David Wilson, one of the board members spoke up and few voices came out who apparently knew him too.

"Yeah, that's the name he uses for his social accounts." Michel confirmed them with bright eyes, clearly happy with everyone's interest. "So, I was thinking what if we contact him and see if he can work with us?"

"I think your idea is a brilliant one." Sebastian's praises was what that made Eva speak up.

"What can a mere vlogger do?" Eva started.

"Travel film maker." Michel carefully corrected on that.

"I don't see the difference. Anyway using a celebrity will be more helpful in my opinion, especially a kpop idol? That will create a sensation over their fans." Eva suggested with confidence evident in her voice.

"But it is not practical and what about the people who are not really a fan? Oh my, sorry I shouldn’t have interrupted like that." With that Michel did a bow to show how apologetic she was.

"No need for that, Michel. Your opinion was on the point. Eva, we are not working on a specific group of people. We have to think about everyone out there. As there are fans, there are haters too and I don’t want any negativity. So, I want to go with Michel's suggestion if you all agree with me?" Sebastian clearly count Eva out as he threw the question and to her disbelief none of them disagree with the idea.

At the moment, she wanted to push her chair and leave the room. But that would have make her seem rude. So, she sat there in silence and saw Sebastian asking Michel to set an appointment with the vlogger. Then he turned to Eva as if he suddenly remembered she was there too, and said, "Eva, I want you to handle everything related to this campaign. I believe you are the best person for this darling."

All she could do was smile at her husband even when the only thing she wanted to do was saying no.

***

Two months, it took solid two months to take an appointment with that man. Not that Eva was bothered with that or anything. She didn’t even try visiting his accounts on social media as she just wanted to be done with all that and not be involved as much as she can. Big mistake.

If she did she would have known what was waiting her and who she was going to meet in a few minutes.

"He is here, Mrs. Angelos." Michel informed her after knocking on her door.

"Lead him to the meeting room, and inform Sebastian. I'm coming in a bit." Eva instructed her while going over the file in her hand.

"Sure." With that Michel turned on her heels.

Eva took a deep breath and checked herself using the front camera of her phone. When she felt she was good to go, she started walking towards the meeting room where a few people should be waiting for her.

"Sorry, I got held up-" She started as he pushed open the door and froze on her place as she saw the face after what had been three years. The face of the man she promised to love forever and whom she had left for getting a better future, Noah.
