The Job
"who said you'd have to make your life for people to like?
who said they have to like you for who you are?
I mean look at me , elegant, beautiful, rich, successful and most of all focused
That's the most important thing, being focused in everything"
Kiara sliding in her office chair and admiring herself, she does that a lot to always remind herself that she's living a good life
"Miss Kiara" Sara, Kiara's secretary walked in and interrupted her
"Miss Kiara?"
"urgh I heard you the first time!!" Kiara replied grumbles " this better be good" she added
smiles "HR is having a meeting with a new client"
surprised " a meeting?... a....a new client?... how come I'm just hearing about this" Kiara said
" urh I heard Mr Jerry was asked to pass the message to you " Sara said
scoff " I am not surprised at all...... Jerry that hedgehog...." she grimaces " when is the meeting?" she added
" today by 10" Sara said
"today! wow! " she scoffs and check her time,,, she see it was already 9:47, " oh Jerry Jerry Jerry ,,, did you really think you could beat me to it?" she said smiling one sided
Kiara stands up and straightens her suit and she turns to Sara,"are you with the files? "
Sara hands her the files containing everything that needs to be known about the new clients
Kiara collect the file and looks at Sara.
" how do I look?"
"focused" Sara replied smiling
" good choice of words..." she leaves her sit, " is there any information I need to know? " Kiara asked
" Just every other agencies they registered with Never gave them good traffic,,,, infact the traffic they received wasn't worth the word traffic"
Kiara finding one very vital information, smiled, she walked to the door and stopped, turned back to Sara and added" any other thing?"
Sara smiled knowing her boss well, said " and..... Mr Jerry has lost"
Kiara scoff "you're beginning to think like me , that's good" she opens the door and leaves
IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM
As she walked pass the hall she went through the file in her hands, running through one or two points to use for her pitch
she got to the conference room, the glass walls made her see through, the client were already in and exchange pleasantries with her boss and her other executives
she felt a stroke of hate when she met eyes with Jerry
she walked into the room and drew all attentions to her, everyone seated as she entered, she walked straight to the podium,
" I should apologize first, for coming in last , you know what they say, the last becomes the first," everyone chuckles except Jerry who kept his one sided smiles
" I must say, I had the best journey through your company's details, I was amazed, it was really a very good sight, and along the journey, I found out this isn't the first agency, you have tried with your Brand, it's quite unfortunate how they wasted your time...." she paused to see the, disgust in the client faces, she knew she got to them, criticism first works.....Everytime
" anyways a way forward, unlike others , we won't promise you , we would help u sell , we are telling you we would turn your Brand into something spectacular...... branding and advertising go further than striking the marketplace with brand noise and fresh design.
It has a lot to do about analysis and a well-formed strategy.......and that's were we come in... because that's all we are about, new strategies, beauty, drawing attentions, expanding demands...... so if you decide to sign with us...that's the slightest of what you'll get..... before the real juices... thank you. "
as the claps filled the air, Kiara felt the glow in her face brighten up,
The client left and her boss called her and Jerry into his office
" it came to my notice that you weren't prepared Kiara,,,"
Jerry interrupted them " about that sir , that was my mistake,.....I totally forgot to inform....I was very busy with my own work.."
" and mine wasn't important...... now you're really trying to look good...... at every slightest chance you get...you just want to ruin my reputation.... well PS try harder" Kiara flamed
"what?! ..... why would I want to waste my time on you.....I am too busy to add you to my schedule....ok?...so rest" Jerry replied her, turns to Mr. John, their boss, points at Kiara, " this......this attitude right here... is why we can never get along... never" Jerry added
Kiara scoffed at the sound of that " who wants to get along with you.....it is a waste of time.... you are a waste of time..."
"enough both of you..... your too old for this... both of you...what do you gain.... being at each other's throat all the time......you both are my best Publishers.... the best I've got so far... so please... Please.. for the sake of the company... try to ...try to.... what's the word......try to like each other" Mr John said even if he knew his word would move nothing
Kiara laugh " seriously, like ?... who? " Kiara looks at Jerry, turns to Mr John and points at Jerry, " this... what's in this to like..."
" you sound as if your likeness would be productive.... I don't want the likeness of a women who doesn't know the difference between being extra-ordinary and being too much" Jerry said facing Kiara
" what! " Kiara confused at what he said grimace
" your not extraordinary at what you do, your not even good.... you're just all over the place...and in my face and it's not a good sight........at all"
Kiara opens he mouth, surprised and disgusted
" when you need me, call me John, I can't stand the sight of this," Jerry about Leaving when Kiara added
" you're an hedgehog!"
" finally you said something that suits me......now I see why my quills keeps hitting u" Jerry said and leaves
Kiara breathing heavily, looks at John, and leaves.
