The Epiphany 19
“Here is her contact, Mr. Bailey.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Felix. You can leave.”
“You are welcome.”
Nevertheless, Mr. Bailey dialed the number and a lady picked and greeted.
“Hello. This is Bailey International Conglomerates Sevenoaks. How may I help you, please?”
For the first time, Mr. Arthur Bailey saw the greeting too lengthy. All the same, he passed his message across.
“Thank you, Cassandra. This is the Chairman on the line. Give your boss the phone, I want to speak with him.”
Now, the bewildered Miss Cassandra Owen, who was about having her lunch at the staff canteen, responded at once.
“Good day, Chairman. I am out for lunch. I will return to the office to give him the phone.”
“It is all right. I am waiting.”
Nevertheless, Miss Cassandra Owen saw the message as an order from the Chairman which must be treated officially. She abandoned her meal half way and got off the canteen as quickly as possible. She got to Mr. Louis Bailey’s office and requested to see The Managing Director from Erick.
“Hello, Cassandra. What brings you?”
“I wish to see the MD. It is urgent.”
“He had not been on the seat since yesterday.”
“Really. How do I see him? It is urgent, please.”
“I will suggest you take the message to his house because his number had been off since yesterday.”
When Cassandra heard that his phone was off since the previous day, many thoughts got into her mind. She remembered that he had been going through a lot, which she could not explain. Now, the urge to deliver the Chairman’s message and to ensure that he was safe took over her completely. Then, she requested one of the driver’s to take her to the MD’s house, and he complied without delay.
At Mr. Louis Bailey’s Apartment.
He had freshened up and got back to the parlor to begin to snack with the doctor while waiting for the meal. He was dressed in his casual wear of chinos short and a white T-shirt which exposed his hairy long legs. His short sleeve T-shirt exposed his hairy arms and part of his hairy chest. He had never had any cause to be careful with his dressing at home because all his domestic staff members were male besides, he had no friends who may visit him unannounced.
While they were joyously having their snacks, the driver drove to the front of his apartment. Meanwhile, Tony, his security, did not wish to stop them because he was familiar with them. Then, Mr. Louis Bailey, who was surprised at the presence of the driver, walked to the verandah to see him. He was shocked to see Casandra Owen got off the car and making calls. Then, she swiftly got to the verandah where he was standing with the doctor and spoke with the Chairman who was at the other end.
“Speak with him, Sir.”
“Thank you.”
Now, Miss Casandra Owen stretched out her right hand with the phone towards him and informed.
“The Chairman wished to speak with you.”
Now, Mr. Louis Bailey’s eyes shone with excitement as he collected the phone from her, while the doctor who remembered that his phone was still in his drawer looked on. Miss Cassandra Owen, who was seeing him, dressed like that for the first time, looked on too. Then, he greeted.
“Hello, father. I will call you right away with Dr. Quain’s phone.”
“It is all right.”
He cut the call at once and stretch out his hand to give the phone back to Cassandra.
“Thank you, Casandra. You may return to work.”
That visit became the beginning of emotional trauma for her because the sight of the Managing Director would not leave her. Meanwhile, from the time Cassandra got off the car and got to the verandah, she had undressed him with her eyes and was mesmerized. Now, she hesitated and stared at him and Mr. Louis Bailey, who believed that she was being repulsive, ordered.
“Take this, Cassandra, and return to work.”
“Okay, Boss.”
She said before she collected the phone from him. Then, she put herself together and began to walk back to the car.
Now, the embittered Mr. Louis Bailey walked back to the parlor to meet the doctor, who walked back to pick his phone when he heard him say that he would give his father a call with his phone.
“Take the phone. Don’t keep him waiting.”
Dr. Quain who was aware of how the Chairman must have felt said. He must have been trying to reach out to him. Then Mr. Louis Bailey collected the phone and spoke.
“Hello father.”
He greeted and gave Dr. Quain, who was wondering the excuse that he will give to the Chairman, a searching look. Then, the Chairman asked.
“What happened to your phone, Louis? I had been trying to reach you since yesterday.”
At this point, Mr. Louis Bailey ran his right hand on his head and replied.
“I am sorry, father. I should have let you know.”
Now, Dr. Quain, who was looking at him, was frightened. He wondered whether he wanted to inform him of the surgery. Then, the Chairman asked.
“You should have let me know of what, Louis?”
At the Bailey International Conglomerates, Sevenoaks
The innocent errand that Miss Cassandra Owen ran for the Chairman had disorganized her emotions. Before now, she had a compassion for Mr. Louis Bailey because of the trouble that he was going through, but now, she could not tell exactly how she felt. She got back to her office and resumed her work, but she discovered that she could not concentrate. The picture of her handsome boss saturated her mind.
At Mr. Louis Bailey’s Apartment
Now, the Chairman will not let Mr. Louis Bailey off the hook. While he was dilly-dallying, he waited patiently for him. He was no longer troubled since he had heard from him, so he was ready to play the game with him for as long as he wanted. As far as the doctor was concerned, Mr. Bailey will not accuse him of not living up to his professional oat. So, he looked.
