Eternity of love

Color me Surprise!!

It was one of the most peaceful night that I have ever had in past six

months and again it was the end of an eventful weekend bringing

Monday on board for all of us with lots of” Monday Blues”. It was past

9am in the morning and I could find my friends yet slept in an oblivion

with no sign of waking up. It took an hour or so to get ready and have a

yummilicious breakfast of scrambled eggs and bacon cooked by my

favorite Bretty. Sometimes I wonder that why in the hell is Bretty a

goddamn finance professional, he could be an amazing chef in the

world. Duh! Then how could he boss around people. Being bossy is

what, Brett is all about. As usual he is nowhere to be found as he hits

the gym early morning 6am god knows doing what? “Does he even

sleep?” I muttered. I reached office at around 11:00 am only to

discover that there was a certain level of excitement present in the

atmosphere of my company. “Yes! my company”. Damn! that feeling of

pride being a young entrepreneur and owning a company like “Knight

Enterprises” always made me feel confident and happy. It’s just been 5

years that I started Knight enterprises, but is that wrong if I say that I am proud of what I have achieved? I think so NO. Well I should be proud of myself.Charlie, the SR.Manager in the line of authority in Knights greeted me with a wide grin on his face, him being this chirpy and happy in the day must be the reason of something good in Knight Enterprises. “Richie Rich! Now is the time to celebrate and high up your moral as I announce that we are officially the human

resource support partners with Frank Industries”. That’s when I was all

out of my thoughts and gawking at him as if he was a Santa who had

come bearing gifts for me in Christmas. Frank Industries was big, huge

victory for my baby company. “Charlie, is it what I think it is? Have we

managed to get them on board with us?” He didn’t answer it, he just

announced cocktails and mocktails for the team as a part of celebration

and handed over a glass of Champagne to me which hinted to a big yes.

“Hell! Yeah we did it Richie Rich”. Infact you have a meeting today

evening with them to sign the contract and this would be with the

CEO of Frank Industries”. Whoa! double whoa as this meet is not going

be a normal meet, this is with the man of the company I dreamt to have

in my client list when I initially started Knight Enterprises. Frank

Industries had their existence worldwide and is an industry giant in

Hospitality sector. This is it. This will be the turning point for my

company and my career as well. “Let’s do this Charlie Chaplin”. I didn’t

remember when was the last I was so nervous to sign a deal with any of

my clients or a new company onboard. “Chaplin, I hope this goes down

right”. “Ms. Rodrigues let’s be professional for once in our lifetime

and please call me Mr. Charlie or Mr. Black. ”Oh hello, Charlie for

once can you stop schooling me and help me overcome my

nervousness”. Charlie has been with me since mid-school and has been

an integral part of Kinght Enterprises. “SR.Manager” is just a

designation for him, he has equal share of say in every decision related

to Knight. Later, after about 15 minutes of waiting in Frank industries,

we were called in the conference room by “Victor Fernandes”, the PA

to an infamous CEO of Frank Industries. He was explaining us about the

project for which they need us to assist on. Well, I had paid zero attention to what he was jabbering about as I was all but waiting for

the man himself to come and do the honors to our deal. If Charlie

wouldn’t be here with me then I must have lost them before having

them on board due to my lack of concentration. O just come the f**k

on Rachel, you just cannot lose your focus. I so needed, to control my

excitement. This was extremely big for me. That’s when I manage to say

“Mr. Fernandes, this is what we are here for and I hope this association paves way of success for both of us” it earns me a word of appreciation and a twinkling flash smile from victor. “You are a woman of your words Ms. Rodrigues, happy to work with you”, said Victor.

Victor went out to get the CEO of the company and then when he

entered, he wasn’t alone, he was with him. A familiar figure appeared

in front of me. Dark brown curled hairs, sapphire blue eyes filled with

glimmer of excitement, dressed in a crisp black shirt hiding his

amazingly shaped body and abs and a dark blue tux jacket surrounding

his shoulders and biceps. Holy Crapola… He was Mr. Greek God from

Plush “Jacob”. Suddenly, I felt as if I have lost my ability to speak. He

was the CEO of Franks. “Introducing Mr. Jacob Franklin, the CEO of

Frank Industries”. Now this questions my ability to have a background

study of my clients and my prospective clients. How on the earth I am

not aware of Jacob being the CEO of Franks. Chaplin is right I need to be

more attentive and professional on work grounds. Holy mother of the

baby Jesus please help me. “Color me Surprise Ms. Rodrigues! We

meet again. Well I do not believe in coincidences but if they exist then

certainly this is the beautiful one and I have started liking these coincidences from now on” said

Jacob. Now he had that mischievous look on his face which he had

before during our first meet. “Well color me surprise too Mr. Franklin,

thrilled to meet you…again”. I was literally flustered with red all over

my face like a Tomatina tomato, and I could see the confusion brewing

between Charlie and Victor on our conversation. “Call me Jake, pretty

lady. Jacob is for world and Jake is for my people and now I assume

you are MINE” oh what did he just say, did I hear him right? “I mean to

say I consider my subordinates and colleagues as equal as my family so yeah, its Jake for you now on”. Mr. Hottie Mc Hotters was flirting

with me professionally which was kind of interesting. I have a feeling

that working with him is going to be damn interesting on all the levels.

“And you can call me Rachel or Rach whatever you are comfortable

with” I blurted out giving him a sheepish grin. “Well are you both

done with your introductions so that we could move on the other

important part of the deal?” said Charlie who was so eyeballing Jake

like he was seconds away from schooling him on how to behave

professionally. Argh… “Yes, of course gentlemen let’s do this I am so

looking forward to it” says Jake. I could see a devilish smile appearing

on Jake’s charismatic face which promises me to take up something

which is going to come across my way soon. Well we started with our

presentation where Charlie was covering the investments part and I

was covering the strategizing and Planning part for their project. There

was not even a second when Jake lost his focus from me. It felt like he

was literally checking me out which made me a bit uncomfortable but

yeah, I so did the same when I saw him today again. All my girlie parts

where suddenly active and that stupid blush was on my face the entire

time we were in the meeting. Oh god please help me out.
