Ryan, observing this sudden change in demeanor, turned to see what made my mood drastically change. There on the second floor was Ian Maxwell and his troop of associates walking towards the elevator. His eyes were ever fixed on his tablet as he walked past.
Ryan turned to me to say something but I immediately went behind him and raced up the stairs without looking back. As I did so, it seemed like everybody's eyes were fixed at me as I crossed them.
“Hiya Ash, you are early today,” June said with excitement.
She was in a black skirt which had a slit at the side, with fancy buttons running above it. On her waist sat a black waist belt perfectly carving out her waistline. She was wearing a blue button up shirt which she wrapped up the sleeves to her elbow level with two buttons opened mimicking a low neckline,revealing a little cleavage. On her lips was pink lip-gloss and her hair tied in a ponytail. Her right hand was placed on her waist and her left hand holding some documents.
“Oh, June. Yeah, I am,” I replied as I set my eyes towards my door handle. “Hope you got my text from last night?” I inquired before my right hand connected with my doorknob.
“Yes, I did. I made sure to inform Steve again about it.” She replied with a smile, but looking at me as if there was something I forgot to ask her about.
Then I remembered she had gone out on a date yesterday. With her demeanor this morning, it seemed like her date last night went very well.
“So how did your dinner date turn out? Was he any good?” I immediately asked, and I was right. That was the question she was waiting for.
“Oh my gosh, he is a darling! The date went quite well. He is also shy, but we had a great time together.” she uttered quickly.
“Wow, that's nice. He sure is a lucky guy,” I said as I opened the door to my office and walked in.
I pulled off my jacket and hung it on the coat rack by the side, laid down my bag on my desk and went for the coffee machine. June walked in and dropped the document on my desk and crossed over to get a cup of coffee for herself.
“I will make sure Steve and I finish reviewing the documents you sent us before the meeting. ” she said as she left the office.
She turned back as if she had just remembered something, “Oh yeah. We will be having the meeting in your office, right?” she voiced, holding the cup of coffee about taking some sips.
I just took a mouthful of coffee and gulped it down quickly, the heat of the liquid immediately burning down my chest... Yes, remember the time, okay?” I replied with a cough.
“Sure thing.” She had just finished taking some sips of the hot coffee and left for her office.
“Ouch. This coffee really is hot,”I thought to myself as I placed my hand on my chest, trying to recover from the burning sensation of the coffee.
I dropped the coffee on the desk and made my way to my work chair. Rummaging through my bag for my presentation documents. I stretched down to my drawer and brought out stacks of blank A4 papers and began my work for the day.
The building was rowdy as different colleagues could be seen running around in search for their materials. Most were on business calls. The sound of ringing telephones filled the air.
I, on the other hand, was bent to my computer looking at different spreadsheets. I could feel my head already aching slightly from the laser focus I put on the screen. I stretched myhand to get my water bottle and took a few gulps and took deep sighs at intervals.
“This project is no joke.”I said to myself as I thought of the detail plan to make the UNIQUE project successful in London.
As I heard a knock, my focus was drawn to the door.
I immediately looked at my watch. “Oh, it's time.” I moved my keyboard slightly closer to the monitor and stretched my back on the seat.
“Come in!” I called out towards the door.
It was Steve and June. They both had their laptops in their grasps coupled with other documents they carried.
“Please have a seat,” I told to them.
June immediately walked to the seat on the right and sat down, crossing her legs to reveal her lush thigh from the slit on her skirt.
Steve looking quite rough, with his upper two buttons unbuttoned and his tie loosed to lie below the second button. His shirt was also folded up to his elbows, his glasses hanging on his neck and his demeanor bright. He walked to the left chair and sat.
I stood up, pacing round my desk to walk across behind them to come and sit between them across from my desk.
“So shall we begin?” I asked as I looked at them with respect.
Our meeting lasted until lunch break and we all went our ways in search for lunch to meet up after. I picked up my phone and texted Justin.
