Later, Rick showed a roadmap for next one year. Also, he said Team will onboard more resources both at on-site and offshore for the new work coming in the next year.Christine was busy capturing key points from Rick's presentation.Sean did mentioned that he does not want her notes.She was very sure that Ray will be looking for these notes.She should not give him any reason for getting angry on her.
She had her full focus on noting down key points.She was not looking at the screen.She sensed an intense stare on her.She slowly looked away from her notes and focused on the screen.Rick had finished his presentation. Sam was about to start addressing the team on the screen-
"Good morning guys, I know we have performed exceptionally well but I must remind you that we are still lacking in certain areas.Look at these graphs, I want each and everyone of you to do a self reflection prior to scheduling a meeting with me for their respective modules.I want to hear from all of you on how are we planning to resolve these issues which are highlighted in the upcoming releases.Please be noted that when I would offer any resource an on-site opportunity or a promotion, I am going to consider all of these factors.I suggest you all to check if you can improve yourself;Otherwise, You have no right to blame me for not warning you."
He spoke only few simple but powerful sentences.Damn, He is a very Handsome and an intelligent person who was graduated from country's one of the Top engineering institute and had masters from Top management institute.That’s why, when it comes to lead large client account, only he can handle it at such a young age.
Christine wonders why Sandra thinks he is a Male God.No wait, Everyone in this company thinks he is a great and down to earth person.
Christine thinks she would never like him in this life time even if she has amnesia.What kind of self reflection that this guy was talking about? She does not want to think about last release, How she had completed her user stories,unit tested and delivered on time.Their Quality assurance team could not find one single bug in her two stories.She was actually smug about her recent performance.
Here, This guy totally forgot to appreciate his own team for their hard work and dedication. This team had worked on so many weekends However, This person is still discussing about minor issues on this meeting.He might be looking for absolute perfection from everyone.First, He should encourage his team before talking about negative things.By the way,She was never interested in going to work at On-site.She was recently promoted within team. That’s another reason, They would not consider her.She would just forget everything that this damn guy said.
Soon, This meeting was adjourned.Christine arranged her notes.She, then switched off her laptop and put it into her backpack.She got up from her seat,was ready to leave the conference room.
At this time, Ray Said- "Christine, Mark want to see you in his office now.Please meet him before you go back to your cubicle."
”Okay Sure, Ray.I did not had my breakfast in the morning before coming to this team meeting.Can I grab my breakfast before I go and meet Mark?"
"Mark is very busy person.You should better hurry up."
"Thank you Ray.Then, I will get going."
Why Senior manager Mark wants to see her today??
Sandra and Christine took an elevator to the first floor where cafeteria was located. The cafe food was not tasty or delicious but it was pocket friendly,hygienic.The shops in the Cafeteria were offering great variety of dishes for breakfast.Today's breakfast menu had varieties in Sandwiches,Pastas,Noodles etc.
Sandra had ordered Veg grilled sandwich and Milk Tea.Christine does not like drinking Tea or Coffee.She had ordered Apple Milkshake and Fried Maggie noodles.Soon, their orders were delivered.They found empty seats near windows and took their seats after keeping food trays on the table.
"Christine, Did not you told me last week that you are craving for French toast, Why are you having Fried Maggie today?" Sandra was puzzled.
"I wanted to have French toast today but Ray asked me to meet Mark after our morning team meeting.I am super hungry and can not wait for another 20minutes in that queue for French toast.I will make a do with this Maggie I would eat toast on some other day.It is not actually a big deal."
"God knows, Why is Mark looking for me? Anyways, He is less annoying person than Ray.It must be something important and Urgent.Whenever he wants to know about team’s progress on the ongoing release, He had always stopped by my cubicle while visiting our bay. He must be really busy and cannot come to bay. That could be the reason why he had called me to meet him."
"Today,Sam was looking very young and dashing in Blue shirt.He is in this project for last 5 years but he has not come to our office so far.I have even heard rumours that he has not been to his home in City D in these 5 years.I am looking forward to his visit to offshore office."
"You need to visit consulate to get your business visa stamped by Friday.You are flying there in next week.On-boarding team will prepare your temporary accommodation, Air tickets etc.Don't forget to submit your current laptop at IT help Desk.You will be provisioned with another laptop from client after you reach Client office.Also, Collect sufficient currency from Forex office.Global travel team will brief you on other details and instructions. I have meeting coming up. Do you have any questions for me?"" No Mark, I am good. I will reach out to you if I need anythi
Sean's Cubicle was in another corner of the project bay.One would meet all annoying colleagues on the way.On top of that, Ray's Cubicle was next to Sean's Cubicle.You can't talk non sense when you are talking with Sean in his cubicle. Sean is a great supervisor who understands all of his subordinates very well. Sometimes, He feels helpless in front of Ray. Ray thinks of various ways to torture his team. Ray is a typical manager who takes credit for all good work and blames his team when he receives any escalations.Luckily, Ray was not in his cubicle when Christine
At last, Cloud9 team reluctantly agreed to let Cletan go but they thought of of giving him a big farewell party on this last day. Sam promised them that he will plan out all the events and inform them by mid next week.
He will ignore Ray's pings for next few days. He does not have time to deal with this annoying person.Next, Cletan replied to Sean's message."All
"Miss Sandra, That's at least 3 months away. We will grab all opportunities to get closer to Sam and will show off in our WhatsApp group.Also,did you thought of Sam as some casual guy who will go on date with just any girl? You are thinking too highly of yourself."Sean was trying to conceal his emotions quite well. When this silly girl would realise that he likes her."I did not meant
"Come and Sit down next to me, Christine. Child, you should have informed me earlier. I have only prepared three simple dishes for today's dinner.Tell me what do you want for supper tonight. I will prepare it for you.""Mumma, Don't tire yourself.You have also returned from office after long working hours. I am fine with these dishes.Look, you have already cooked Pomfret Fish fry and Prawns curry for me."
Half an hour later, Lisa found out from someone that Christine has arrived in the office.Yesterday, She had gone to Ray and Mark to tell them about her grievances.Ray said he is doing his best to convince Mark and Sam.Truth was that he was a coward. Does not he know what Mark and Sam are thinking ? They clearly do not want to give this chance to anyone else other than Christine.They did not even take his recommendation into consideration while finalised other names.He is not brave to fight them head on.He did asked Cletan but he also ignored him.
