Chapter 3 Apologize or not

Astonishingly, Amanda didn't pester her with question, instead she bought pizza and drinks for their dinner. But as they snuggled up in the evening watching sugar rush, licia decided to talk after all a problem shared is half solved. You didn't ask how the meeting went? She asked Amanda. Finally, Amanda beamed. ' I've been waiting for you to talk, I almost died of curiosity'. I thought as much, licia laughed. So he's as hot in person, right? Amanda queried. No, licia said blatantly. She found it hard to consider him handsome after the toxic words that came from his mouth. ' He's ugly inside and out' Amanda was confused, she brought out her phone and showed licia his picture, ' is it the same guy?' she asked. Yes, licia said dryly and explained all that had transpired. Amanda was seething by the end of the story. ' And I was fangirling for a jerk like that, pictures are truly deceiving, he was looking like an angel's She smiled sweetly at licia, what pacifies me right now is the knowledge that you gave it to him back, I hope you told him the apology letter must not be less than a thousand words. Licia laughed at Amanda's rantings. ' Seriously, who does he think he is, I’lld have told him to go to hell, Amanda continued.

It is called conflict of interest, whatever was going on in his head. He was never one to put personal issues before business but he was also never one to do business with a woman. Women were sentimental, emotional, delusional creatures. Why did God even create women, not like he was questioning God's authority but then adam won't have sinned if not for eve. Even he, knew he was talking stupid. How will humans multiply without women, well that's it. They're supposed to be at home, cooking food and taking care of babies not doing business with him. And thus far, he had avoided them until her. Jeffery Goodwill brooded silently in the privacy of his office. It's been two day's already yet penning down an apology letter seemed like an impossible task. He really felt like delaying the project till the martins will be available but it will be childish, irrational and so not him. Two days gone by without much progress with the project was enough wasted time and all these wouldn't have happened if she had not come late on the very first day of the meeting. Who does that. Everyone knows how much he detests not sticking to time. What if it was mr Kings who came late , will your reaction be the same, a voice queried in his head. It was unimaginable that he'll do such to either mr martins or his wife but there were reasons. First, they were both way older than him also they were his seniors in business they both treated him like a son. On the other hand, they'll never attend a meeting late and if they did it will undoubtedly be for a reason. Did you ask for her reason? the answer was 'no'. Arrgh, he groaned. For someone he was meeting for the first time and had high expectations of, she had come late looking pretty and gotten attention from all the board of directors, that's what got him riled up. The major reason he didn't employ ladies, they were unnecessary distractions. He was too pissed he might have overreacted but then she called him arrogant. She had the guts to insult him. Annoying as it was, they were even. 'Luke', he called and his assistant rushed in, looking a bit ruffled, it is a busy week. He never liked using the land phone and that was why and that's why he made sure his assistants office was really close to his. ' You called for me sir' luke said. 'Yes, I want to send an apology note to miss Kings, I'll dictate' Okay sir, luke said exaltantly. They had all been hoping their boss will do the right thing.
