MY KIND OF LOVE 4 Mr. Carlos

The company's president was Jeff who was considered to have a warm and friendly personality. Old Yethu made him the right hand man to Miray and when she started the company. Rita was the company's  head lawyer. She was a smart and very beautiful woman. Peter was the IT department team leader. Apart from securing the company, he also did a few things for Miray when needed. Nene, was Miray's secretary while the rest dealt with accounts or were in different departments.

"Alright since we all are here, I wanted to ask if you all have seen the news recently?" Miray finally broke the silence.

Jeff cleared his throught while nodding his head, "yes, we have all heard about the Sweng corporation."

"We finally have a strong compet.i.tor, this means in the future, we will have to struggle for resources with Sweng corporation.. That means more work that what we normally have," Miray sat back with her arms crossed, calmly looking at everyone. 

"Peter find out everything you can about a man called Skylar Wandeers, I need every detail about him before the end of the day... Rita, visit our branches and check how they are doing. Fire anyone who is misbehaving and take necessary measures,.." the boss typed something on her laptop and turned it to Rita, " this must be one of our models, right? " .

 It was Kiki, one of their models who got into a car accident a month ago. It was rumoured that the accident caused a huge scar on her left thigh. If that was the case she would never be able to walk the runway again.

"Prepare a contract that would get her a plastic surgery to cover it up, I want to invest in her, contact her manager, ..let's make use of the resources we have,"

".... Aah Nene did you manage to get an appointment with Mr Carlos?.." Miray suddenly remembered. 

"Well,.. err, yes I did...but.. err," Nene's nervousness made Miray give her a fixed stare.

"Well ...since Rita is going to visit the different branches, why don't you just go to the party, next Sat.u.r.day then?" She finally managed to say it.

"Say what??" Miray couldn't believe what she just heard.

"He accepted the appointment only if you could make public appearance at this party." Nene didn't know what else she could have done. Getting a hold of Mr Carlos was hard.

"I think it's actually a good idea, maybe this would show how sincere you are... All the other business contracts only me and Rita took care of them. If we really manage to get this contract with Mr Carlos it would make our company grow, please consider it." Jeff let out his opinion. They all stared at her waiting to see what decision she would make.

Miray let out a sigh and finally said something, "Okay, I guess it's time to come out to the world ... Where will this party be and what is this about?" 

".. err, it's the grand opening party for the Sweng corporation branch..." 

"..what??!" Exclaimed Rita before anyone said anything. They were all shocked.

"Mr Carlos has been busy recently, his secretary stated that he has a tight schedule till the end of the year," Nene explained. "He personally wanted to meet with Miss Yethu but the only time he will be in the country, will be at the opening party or else we will have to wait till next year."

'There is no way she will go'

'Nene must really have a death wish, how could she set up the witch this way'

They started to whisper between themselves, wondering what decision the boss would make. Miray was still seated with her arms crossed and her eyes were closed as if she was trying to contain her anger.

"okay, since thats how he wants to play it, I will go to the party... Peter, try to find out more about who will attend the party ... And oh, Jeff..," she turned her head slowly and looked at Jeff in the eyes. "Shall we have lunch?" 

"Absolutely."

Jeff and Miray left the meeting room leaving the rest in total amazement.

"Eeeh, I was really scared for your life, I didn't think she could actually accept it, ... ," Rita held Nene's hand and tried to comfort her.

"You have no idea, how can a woman be so scary ...aaay, I have never been so scared in my life... Eeeh, what do you think they want to talk about?.."

"Stop gossiping and get to work, or else you will be really fired this time around" Peter interrupted the ladies as he left the room with his team. 

"Eeh don't mind him, let's meet up when I get back, it might take me two days to visit all our branches and deal with this model..., keep me updated with everything that happens here eee.." ,Rita stood up and grabbed her laptop as she waved goodbye to Nene. "Don't worry, you know I will keep you updated.." replied Nene with a smile as she waved back.

It took them an hour to get to the restaurant because of traffic. Throughout the drive Miray did not say a word and kept on staring at the window being lost in thoughts. It was one of the best restaurants in the city and Miray's favorite place. They didn't need to make a reservation since Miray was a regular and most of the workers knew her. 

"What's your mood?" Jeff asked while looking at the menu.

"... Resentment.."

"Excellent! Let's order something spicy.." ,Jeff smiled as he called the waiter and made an order for the both of them. 

"So what do you think?" Miray finally broke the silence between them.

"Mr Carlos is just trying to see what type of business woman you are. Accepting to go to the opening party shows how open minded you are and that do not feel threatened with the coming of a new compet.i.tor, "

"You are right, I actually knew he was going to request to meet me in person, but I didn't expect him to invite me to this opening party." Miray smiled coldly, ".. maybe it's time we start making more friends."

"You have always been doing this behind closed doors, are you sure you are ready to go out there?.. " Jeff gave Miray a worried look.

"I never really believed in the power of making connections and only believed in my ability, that's how we got this far. But the Sweng family has a lot of influence, even in this country. If we keep on going like this, everything we have built will be destroyed." Miray cletched her fist.

"I am really glad you have made this decision. I heard that the Sweng corporation are really good at destroying companies with a click of the thumb. The CEO, Skylar Vandeers, is a very ambitious man, I hope we won't be the next victims..."

Miray let out a sigh and said "So am I,.. Jeff, they just don't call me a witch for no reason, remember I am known for being a very ruthless woman... It won't be that easy to bring me down,.." 

Jeff let out a loud laugh, "hahaha yes, you are really scary... Hahaha.. you should have seen how scary you were this morning... Hahaha."

" yaaa!, watch out, I am still your boss.. " Miray gave Jeff a cold look.

"Oh, yes ma'am." Jeff stopped laughing right away.

"Did I just scare you just now, hahahha ... You should have seen how your face just switched up, hahahah.." Miray suddenly laughed out loud. Over the years of working together, they became good friends and Miray really trusted Jeff. 

"Look at how you enjoy bullying me,... Tsk tsk tsk tsk,...Eeh the food is here, let's eat."Jeff was really hungry and couldn't wait any longer.

"Laugh at me again and I will reduce your salary." Miray said it while laughing.

The two seemed to be enjoying each other's company as they had lunch. Little did they know that someone sitting on the other side of the restaurant was watching them. 

The man turned to the other man who was standing next to him and asked , "is that her?"

"Yes sir." Answered the man who was standing.

"Who is the man she is with?"

"Aah that must be her close companion and the president of the company, Jeff Hans, sir."

The man gave a faint smile "interesting,... Keep on following her and give me an update if you find anything."

"Yes sir," the man standing took out a phone from his pocket and went out to make a phone call.
