CHAPTER 56

Yes, that's right. She is indeed beautiful. If it’s not because this deal is big, I would just cancel it, I don't care how much it will cost me but I just want to have dinner with Love as soon as possible.

When we came in, Mr. Should, the president of Landon's Shipping stood up as well as his colleagues. He greeted me with a firm handshake and of course I took it firmly as well.

"It's good to see you again, Mr. Triumph." He said.

"Same, Mr. Should." I replied. "I thought you're not coming?" I asked, tilting my head.

"Well, after I heard that you got mad with the Vice President of La Gracias, I wanted to make it sure that the deal will be presented gracefully." He said, chuckling and smiling.

Well..

"Oh, the news travelled so fast, I guess." I replied, smirking. "You have great PRs."

He laughs whole heartedly. "Yes they are." He said, chuckling. "Shall we start?" He said as he waves his hand for us to proceed on our seats.

I let Love sit beside me since she'll be representing Jean while Mrs. Wilson sat at the back together with some assistants.

"Where is Ms. McClaire?" Mr. Should asks as he looks around the room and landed his eyes to Love. He smiles.

"She called a while ago and informed us that she has flu." I replied. "So, the woman beside me is her assistant. This is Ms. Gilbert." I added.

Mr. Should nodded at her and looks back at me. "Will she be able to deliver the message well to Ms. McClaire? I mean, she might not be able to understand some things." He added, adding the last word slowly and quietly.

When I look at Love, she looked annoyed but still maintains to smile. Who wouldn't be annoyed by that?

"Are you saying that my employee is incapable to do such things?" I gave him a questioning look.

Now, I don't care how big this deal is. He doesn't have a right to treat my employees like a trash.
Especially Love.

Mr. Should shook his head."No, Mr. Triumph, that's not what I meant to say." Then looking at Love, "I'm sorry." He said. But the look he gave to Love is unexplainable. It's not a true sorry. He's not sincere. Love just nodded and smiled. When Mr. Should is not looking at her anymore, Love look at him. I don't know what's on her mind. But her eyes are like nails that's digging in to Mr. Should's face.

Oh dear God let him give me the best presentation.

I sigh. I don't want my anger to rise.

While the presenter is starting, my phone beeps.
I never read messages during meeting but when my eyes caught whose message it was, I pick up my phone and read it.

I'm going to kick his sorry ass any time soon.
-Love

Then I chuckled. The presenter stopped and the others looked at me questioningly.

Did I chuckle loud?

Then I arranged my facial expression. "Just proceed, please." I said. Then he did.

When I look at Love, she's smiling.

I won't be able to concentrate if she'll smile like that.

Love pov

If it's not because we're in a conference room full of people, I would go punch his sorry face. I mean, yes, I'm an assistant. He doesn’t need to down me and my capabilities. That's just a low blow for a president.

When Emerson chuckled and everyone looked at him and he seems a little bit surprised but still managed to get them back to their works, I caught his eyes and smiled at him. He read the message I sent. I thought.
The presenter continued to present their works.

When the presentation is already done, I was somehow impressed because they did tackle everything. I mean everything that we might need if ever the deal will be sealed.

The people inside the conference clapped their hands and so am I.
"Well, what do you think, Mr. Triumph?" Mr. Should ask.

"That was great, Mr. Should." I simply replied, shaking his waiting hand.

Even though I am impressed, I always see to it that my face is neutral as ever. I don't want to leave an idea to them or something.

FINALLY! This meeting is already done.

When I look at my wrist watch as I leave the conference room, I grinned. 5:04 PM.
"This should be great." I said to myself.
I didn't know Love was beside me when she tried to excuse herself so she can do the works she left while she's in the meeting with me.

"Mr. Triumph?" she said, and I turned to look at her, raising my eyebrows.

"You zoned out and I think you did not hear what I said." She added.

"Anyway, I'll go down so I could arrange the documents I left a while ago." She continued.
When I nodded at her, she left.

Then I fished out my phone and texted her.
See you
-Emerson
Then she replied seconds after that.
Yeah!
-Love

Just yeah? Hahhaahha....

I can't wait to see her again.
