The Longing Heart
“Yes. But I can be of help if you play your card well.”
Jeff, who was more advanced in manipulations than him, feigned surprise and gratitude.
“Wow! I have never thought of it. Thank you so much. Kindly tell me, what do I do?”
Now, Greg was convinced that he had won a jackpot and intensified his game.
“You see, I'm divulging this information to you because I see you are a serious person. I met someone who knows someone who knew the friend to the son of the Chairman of the Cherry Fields Oil and Gas Group. He only needs a little token of five thousand to link you up to the son of the Chairman.”
Now, Greg gave him the genealogy of the people he had to meet before he can get across to the son of the Chairman. The first thought that crossed Jeff's mind was to give him a hand strike, but their discussions were interrupted by the presence of Mr. Noah. It was for Greg's good because Jeff was already irritated. Nevertheless, Sidney also walked in and took his seat. Then, Greg declared.
“We will continue later, Jeff.”
The expressionless face of Jeff startled Greg, but he left all the same.
“A good morning to you, class.”
“Good morning, Mr. Noah.”
“Our topic today is…”
While the lecture was going on, Jeff was conscious of the time. At 10:00 am, Mr. Noah was done, and he left the class.
Likewise, Jeff hurriedly left the class to keep his appointment with the Endless Love Arcadia. Meanwhile, he had informed Sidney that he would skip the next lecture. He got to his car and sat on the driver's seat and rested his back on the seat, leaving the door open. Then, decided to forward the Google form to the contacts to while away time. Moreover, his aides and security were also ready.
Just then, Greg appeared. He had trailed him the moment he left the class to conclude their discussion.
“Hello Jeff, as I was saying…”
Jeff did not give him the delight to waste his time further. He halted him in the most ignoble manner.
“Panhandler or fraudster. If I hear you scam anybody with the name of the Cherry Fields Oil and Gas Group, I will make sure you regret it. Be gone.”
To his consternation, Jeff's voice scared him. He looked around to see if any student was around and watching, but when he noticed that no one was in sight, he decided to redeem his integrity which was at stake.
“We are not fighting, are we? I only wanted to assist you as a foreigner. The highest you can do is to say you're not interested. You don't have to shout.”
He pointed out, looking right into his eyes. Then, Jeff reduced him to nothing with his question.
“If you wish to assist a foreigner, why are you asking us to pay to you and not to the Government?”
Now, his question rendered Greg speechless, and he left with his tail between his legs.
At the Endless Love Arcadia
The quinquagenarian beautiful Chairman got to her office that day with great expectations. She had the spirit of a princess longing to meet with her knight in shining armor. She covered her longings from her staff by locking up herself in her office because she knew that she may not miss the opportunity of smiling to herself at the thought of some special moments about her past. Besides, she may be caught off guard and shed some tears unknowingly. Then, to avoid keeping her guest waiting, she instructed her secretary before getting into her office.
“I have an appointment by 11 am today. Oscar is aware of it.”
“It is all right, madam.”
Then, she got into her office, fished out the visitor's form and read through it again and smiled.
The secretary, who, was unable to connect the dots, furrowed her brow and thought.
'Why does the boss wish to attend to a client by herself? The client must be a big one then.'
At the Parking Lot of the Eagle City University.
Jeff settled down and sent the mail to multiple recipients using the Blind Carbon Copy. Subsequently, he drove off. Though, it was too early, but he just had to leave to avoid the likes of Greg, who may ruin his mood. Nevertheless, he got to his destination fifteen minutes earlier and sat in his clunker and waited. He went through the message sent to him by the Operations Manager the previous day just to while away time. Soon, it was time, and he was at the reception at exactly 11 am with the same intimidating demeanor. He greeted the front desk officer with a confident smile.
“Good morning ma'am. I'm delighted to see you again.”
“A good morning to you, Young Master. Nice to meet you again. Please take your seat.”
The front desk officer, who, was more organized that day, replied as she motioned him to the visitors' seat. While, he was walking towards the couch, the Operations Manager's voice halted his steps.
“Good morning, Young Master. Please, come with me.”
“Good morning Manager. It is all right.”
Jeff followed him to the tenth floor of the building. Meanwhile, the secretary was amazed when she beheld the client who captured the attention of her boss.
'What is special about him?'
She murmured. Then, she jolted out of her bewilderment when she heard a husky voice.
“Good morning ma'am.”
Jeff greeted with aplomb. The startled secretary responded.
“Good morning, Young Master. Welcome to Endless Love, Arcadia.”
“Thank you.”
“Inform the boss that the guest is here.”
The Operations Manager requested, while Jeff stood still and watched their body languages.
“She had been expecting you. Just go in.”
“Oh! Shall we?”
He asked looking at Jeff who followed him immediately. They got into the beautiful, large office that reminded him of the grandfather's office. The difference was just the colors. The office had a female like color, while his grandfather's was more like officious colors. The beautiful boss welcomed them with a face void of expression.
