Chapter six
1586 Words
Scarlett's POV:
I woke up at 3 in morning..oh sorry afternoon.
Well Yeah, I ain't a morning person.
Mornings are irritating AF. Although this isn't morning..
While having these thoughts in my head, I got up from my extra-comforting warm bed and went for a shower.
After taking my long relieving shower I came out and wore a white shirt and black pencil skirt.
I looked much professional in this outfit.
I then came to the kitchen and started searching what to eat.
Mom, at this time will be at the company so managing my breakfast, is my job.
I decided to have corn flakes.
After finishing my bowl of breakfast or brunch you could name it as, I got up and left for the company.
While driving my head was filled with so many thoughts.
Well, this isn't my daily routine though.
But honestly, I don't have a stable schedule.
Every day, I wake up and go to the company at anytime I feel like.
I don't have an official job in the company. Though mom allows me to represent our company in many meetings but she yet, didn't give me an official job.
And that's because she thinks I'm too lazy and irresponsible, she thinks the right though.
So, I work as a personal adviser (unofficial)
Because lack of intelligence is not my problem, lack of efforts or activities is.
And everytime when I ask her to appoint me officially she says I ain't still experienced.
But after cracking the much profiting deal two days earlier, I think there's a 50 percent chance to get it officially.
I reached the company within a few minutes.
In office:
After reaching to mom's office, the first thing I did was to plead her "sorry".
Well, yeah..she'll be angry as I was late again.
But I, being me won't really put efforts right? so arriving early is not an option in my list. Sometimes I think, I do this out of spite.
"Why did you come" she glared.
"To help my sweety sweety mom" I replied with a mischievous grin.
She bit her lower lip to control her smile. This is the second easiest way to please her when I'm at mistake. Just make an innocent or mischievous face and she's up. Well the First is to tickle her.
"Wha-? why'd I need your help?" She asked fighting the urge not to smile. How can she love me so much? Just me smiling, makes it tough for her NOT to smile? God, she adores me.
"Beccaauuussseee yoouuu loovvee meee" I sang while I walked up to her and started tickling her.
"Lea...lea...leave me" she said laughing real hard.
"I've demands" I said gaining the advantage.
"Wha-? Demands?? I'm your mother Jus..just leave me" she said.
"Promise to fulfill my demands" I said laughing evilly. "Give me an official job" I continued.
"Let's sit and talk" she said laughing.
"Okay" I stepped back.
"You want an official job?" She asked.
"As if I'm new to you" I replied while rolling my eyes.
"Be serious, Scarlett
Rule no. 1-No jokes at work" she replied in a stiff tone.
"Okay. Sorry. Yeah I desperately want an official job" I said. This is not the time to mess with her.
"What kind?" She asked.
"The kind where it needs more mental work and no physical" I replied.
Well, I wasn't messing. I was just being honest and straight to the point.
"You're predictable" she smirked.
Okay, I'm having a feeling that she's gonna give me some less valuable or 'valueless' you can even call it as, kind of job. I was thinking when she said.
"Managing partner of VGOC".
Whhaattt??? Did I hear it right? Did she say managing partner? I was too shocked to react.
"You heard it correct, Scarlett. You could be a managing partner
But on a condition" she said.
"Okay. What is it?" I asked after coming out from my shocked state.
"You must have heard about Hayden's. Haven't you?"
"Do you mean THE HAYDEN'S?? The multi billionaires??" I asked.
"Well, yeah. I want you to convince them to invest in our company" she stated simply.
"Mom, are you kidding me? Why will they invest their money in our company??, I mean they must be giving it to better companies where they could receive more profits. Why us??" I asked.
"You've to convince them why. If you want an official job prove me your abilities or back off" she said.
Damn.
"I need time to think" I said and left her office.
I was sitting on my desk and was hitting my head to the wall once in a while. Not really, but I wanted to.
The situation was hell like confusing.
See, if I'm convincing them, then I can receive the post of a partner.And I just don't receive it but I kind of will earn it. Our company after investment, will be profited a lot. Our shares will rise highly.
But the tragic part is they won't be listening to me. Why will they?? They're one among the top international companies and we are just within the country.
They haven't had even heard of our company's name.
How will I convince them??
"Want some help darling?" A familiar voice interrupted my chain of thoughts.
I turned to see Jass standing at the door. "My saviour" I got up and ran to her.
"Your mom just said me about the deal she kept in front of you.
Well I must say this is really hard to achieve but the reward is worth it and besides you don't have any choice. It's a do-or-die situation" she said and I gave her a small nod.
"Look Scarlett" she said while making me sit on the couch near my desk, "I don't know whether you're gonna c***k this deal or not, but what I know is the reason why your mom gave it to you other than giving it to much professional employees.
Hayden's are the best and you and I, both of us knows how desperately she wants that company to invest in that of yours but it is more harder than you're thinking it to be" she continued.
"I ain't getting you?"
"Let me tell you one thing, even the professional employees that are a way better than you couldn't even do this" she elaborated.
"Then how can I?" I asked.
"You can Scarlett, you can. Everyone here has seen the sparkle in your eyes to achieve the impossible. Everyone knows you have the ability to do it, you've the smartness to do it. When your mom gave you this task she didn't want you to do hard work, much much much hard work to achieve this impossible task. She meant you can find the easiest way to do it because you do smart work, and hard work is not your cup of tea. Everyone Scarlett, everyone knows you're having something special which others don't. You just don't give up that easy. You're.. You're stubborn. You're like a stubborn kid who wants what he wants and do you know what makes it more special? You've the ability to achieve your wills. You aren't just a stubborn kid, you're the one finding one or the other way to achieve your goal. Do you remember the last deal you cracked?? Did you forget they rejected you in the first representation itself. But did you give up? No. You were too stubborn to give up and you kept bettering the representation each time and at last you created the best. I bet the last representation you had given them was more than a representation. It was a master piece and if you compare your last representation with the first one and I suggest you compare it, you'll simply deny the fact that both were made by the same person. You've it in yourself but you're just needed to get polished. You're stubborn Scarlett, you're goal oriented, YOU'RE ONE OF A KIND And universe falls for a stubborn heart. And this is the reason why your mom gave it to you" she said.
I..I was speechless. I didn't know what to say. I just kept dumbfounded.
"And when your mom told me about the deal she kept in front of you I was more than willing to hear an impossible plan which only you could complete I was more than willing to know the idea of making an impossible to possible kind of plan, but I guess you lost yourself. You were scared today. You had the fear instead of sparkle in your eyes. Which is uncommon. So I thought of reminding you that who you're" she continued and that was it.
The sparkle in my eyes were back. She's right. I don't lose. Scarlett Van'assche does not lose. There has to be a way and I'll find it sooner. And this is not to achieve the president's post, this is to satisfy my ego. I won't ever lose the sparkle, I won't ever lose hopes.
I got up and hugged her tight and mumbled "I'll do it" to her. She had this big grin on her face when I pulled away.
"By the way, for your information, Aaron too is going to try to grab this opportunity" she said smiling evilly.
"Perfect. This is the perfect chance to defeat him. To defeat his ego." I said smiling back.
So Aaron Smith, I'm sorry but get ready to face the defeat.
