The Continuous Assessment Work 4
“That reminds me. Where is the tea? I noticed some changes in the tea that Robert served lately. Could it be the one?”
Robert, the chef, who always stood by whenever they were eating, concurred.
“Yes, Mr. Morris. I will discontinue if you ask me to.”
“No. You don't have to discontinue. I only wanted to be certain.”
“It is all right, boss.”
Now, Mr. Morris had fallen in love with the tea. He had observed that it was invigorating. So, he faced Jeff who was busy with his breakfast and gave approval to his request.
“Son, you will take the two bottles of wine with you.”
Leon, who had been silent all the time, cast a jubilant look at Jeff. He thought that Mr. Morris would turn him down.
“Thank you grandpa. You're the best.”
Then, Mr. Morris sniggered at the excitement on his face. The discovery he just got from Mr. Robert had given Jeff a clue on how to appreciate the lady boss. Meanwhile, Jeff had been on his toes because he had been taking the Organic Tea.
“You're welcome, son. That was very thoughtful of you. Let's go.”
They all sipped their tea and got up. Jeff hurriedly went to the wine cellar and got two bottles of wine. Then, the janitor handed a branded shopping bag to him.
“I would prefer a plain one if it is available.”
“Let me check.”
He left for the store and came back at once with a plain shopping bag.
“Thank you.”
At the Eagles City University.
Howbeit, Prof. Wood had a feeling of self-condemnation after he discovered the quality of the phone that Jeff handed over to him, probably on impulse. He felt he had deprived him of his cherished gift. Then, he sent for him the moment he made up his mind to return the gift to him.
Nevertheless, Jeff headed to Prof. Wood's office as soon as he got his message.
“Good morning, Prof. Wood. You sent for me.”
He greeted the moment he got into his office. Likewise, the professor ceased the opportunity to observe him carefully. His skin color is top-notch because it was healthy and glowing. He observed his handset and noticed that it was nothing compared to what he had given to him.
“Kindly take your seat.”
“Thank you, Prof.”
He responded and sat down like a royalty and looked into the Professor's eyes.
“Jeff, I feel like returning your gift to you.”
He announced as he picked up the gift bag which was still on his table. At that point, Jeff was bewildered, and it was obvious. Then, he asked.
“Why? But I gave it to you.”
“Yes. I feel you acted on impulse. Don't you think you need it?”
He asked, looking at the phone in Jeff's hand. He noticed the look and smirked.
“Don't look at my phone. It is just a cover-up.”
Then, Jeff brought out his main phone from his jacket inner pocket and showed him.
“This is my phone. I live low profile because it is good for me. Can I return to my class now?”
The awestruck Professor could not believe his eyes. He recollected himself and said.
“Thank you, Jeff. I will hold you in high regard for your intelligence. You may return to your class.”
“Thank you, Prof.”
He took his leave while the Professor began to run his mind around Jeff's activities, the lunch, the wine, and the fight with the notorious Ben-G and the erstwhile Vice Chancellor.
'He indeed knows his onion.'
The Professor concluded as he brought his phone out of the velvet drawstring gift bag and admired it once again.
At the Endless Love Arcadia
The drive through the city of Toronto was usually hitch free due to the light traffic. During the rush hours, the distance between Mississauga where The Eagles City University was located and Toronto, the location of the Endless Love Arcadia, was about thirty-five minutes’ drive. Jeff left his school forty minutes ahead of time to avoid any possible hitch that could cause delay. By ten minutes to 11 o'clock, he was at his destination. He parked in the car park alongside his aids, security, and driver.
“Mr. Kelvin, I will be staying longer than usual because of my project.”
He announced as he took the wine bottles and folder containing his questionnaires from his back seat.
“All right, Young Master.”
Mr. Kelvin Levi, his driver, concurred. He walked majestically to the front desk to meet the Operations Manager cheerfully waiting for me.
“Welcome to the Endless Love Arcadia, Young Master.”
“Good morning, Manager. Thank you.”
“Kindly come with me.”
He walked with him to the elevator, and they got off at the tenth floor as usual and were at the lady boss' beautiful office.
“Good morning, Madam Ray. I am delighted to see you again”
He greeted cheerfully as soon as he walked in. Then, Madam Sica Ray looked up from the paper on her desk and welcomed him.
“Jeff, good morning. Nice to meet you. Please take your seat.”
“Thank you Madam. Before I take my seat, I have this for you.”
He handed over the two bottles of wine to her, which she collected vivaciously.
“Wow! Did you think of a gift for me? I appreciate.”
“You're welcome. I hope you like it.”
Jeff said as he majestically took his seat on the visitors' seat while the Operations Manager sat on the couch.
“A minute, please, Jeff.”
“It is okay.”
Jeff smiled and took the opportunity to glance at the television. Meanwhile, there was an announcement going on that caught his attention. It was an advertisement for bidders to register and participate in the auction sales of an entire island. Jeff took down their website and contact immediately. Then, the lady boss called his attention, handing the papers to him.
“Sorry Jeff. I was going through the information you requested on HOW WE STARTED AND GREW OUR BUSINESS. I feel you should have the hard copy. You can skim through and take the germane information for your research.”
