“A PR event? Like a party?”
“Exactly. Hear me out, sir. Imagine if we had an event that has widespread coverage. So much it becomes a trend online. The event will be a coronation for you. We’ll introduce you as the CEO of the new rebranded company. It’ll be the PR event of the century! One that’ll resonate around the whole of Manhattan. Think of it, sir. The paparazzi. The headlines. The red carpet. The music. The thrill. The glamor. All of this coming together, Mr. Thatcher. Won’t it be wonderful?”
He does have a point. Organizing an event so big the whole city notices is a sure way to spread our name and recreate our image. Rebrand it. It’ll be a good introduction.
“That’s a brilliant idea, Chris!” I beam at him. “Well done.”
He grins. “That’s not all, sir. I intend for the event to double as a networking summit. We’ll attract different high-end companies in different industries like tech, banking, and manufacturing amongst others. We’re even considering approaching companies in the renewable energy sector.”
Looks like he’s had it all planned out. Nodding, I lean forward.
“You have my approval and support, Chris. We need to begin planning immediately. How many weeks would the preparation last?”
Chris opens his tab and swipes the screen. He looks up after a moment, rubbing the back of his neck.
“It’s going to be a huge event, so I suppose fifteen weeks. If we’re efficient enough, we can bring it down to ten. How does that sound, Mr. Thatcher?”
I lean back and close my eyes, weighing my options. Chris’s idea is the sort of thing I’ve been looking for. Of course, it’s a major event as he said, so it’ll need a lot of delicate planning. I open my eyes.
“We can work with that. Do you have a venue in mind?”
He fixes his gaze on his tablet. “I have a couple in mind, but I should get one before next week so the planning can commence in earnest.”
“Looks like we’ll be going on overdrive, right? There’s a lot of work to be done if we want to see this through.”
His gaze meets mine, and he smiles. “I thought of that sir, so I’ll be assigning someone from the marketing department to you specifically for this project. If you don’t mind. I know Derrick is your assistant, but you’ll need someone to assist on the marketing front.”
“Sounds good. Do you have anyone in mind?”
“Yes, Mr. Thatcher. She’s one of our best minds. I’ll call her in now.”
Chris holds his phone to his ear and waits a moment. “I need you now, Noelle. Please come down to the closed conference room.”
Noelle?
He drops his phone and grins. “She’ll be here, shortly, Mr. Thatcher.”
It’s probably a coincidence, right? I mean, there could be hundreds of Noelles in New York.
“This …Noelle,you sure she’s up to the task?”
He beams. “She’s more than up to the task, Mr. Thatcher. She’s one of the best in our department, with a good track record to show it. She’s just wonderful.”
He's smiling weirdly. I raise a brow. Before I can ask another question, the doors open to let inside my one-night stand from Friday.
She stands at the entrance, with a smile plastered on her face. The air leaves my lungs in a rush. Her dressing is simple – a blue shirt, black hip-hugging skirt, and blue heels. Her blonde hair is packed in a simple ponytail. She’s just as beautiful as she was that night.
This is actually happening.
“Ah, you’re here. Noelle, meet Maverick Thatcher, our new CEO.” He turns to me. “Mr. Thatcher, meet Noelle Quinn, one of our best minds in the marketing department.”
How do I handle this? Do I pretend we’ve never met before, even after the wonderful night we had? My fingers grip the arms of my chair.
Chris glances sideways at me, then at her. He turns to me, raising his eyebrow.
“Is… there anything wrong, sir? Have you met?”
Yes. I saved her from a weirdo last week then we had the hottest sex ever.
