Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 2
Kimâs p.o.v.
I made my way to my boss office with a pounding chest,I have never been this scared all my life. I have made several mistakes over the past twenty four years of my life but I couldnât have made a mistake this stupid. i am a careless, stupid girl and I know that. Out of all mistakes to make I shouldnât have made this? my boss is like a beast always growling over every little thing and d–n it if that doesnât piss me off too,I canât imagine the embarrassment I would get today. I straightened my skirt before knocking the door.
âcome inâ he said.
i entered and I locked the door,I turned my back to see him already starring at me. my boss was so hot no doubt,he was the second most eligible bachelor of new York and ladies flocked over him but he has anger issues,he gets mad over every little thing and he is so rude and I canât help but wonder how someone like him can head a successful company with his character. I also canât help but pity myself,I suffered so hard before I got this job and the pay was barely enough to cover dadâs medical expenses for a month not to talk of my expenses.
âMiss Kim are you gonna stand there all day and zone outâ his voice brought me out of my trance.
âI am sorryâ.
âthe meeting is in a minute or so,letâs goâ he said standing up. âdid you bring all that is required?â.
i feel like dying now.
âsir,i_â.
âletâs go already,no time for chitchatsâ he interrupted me already on his way out.
I was about to tell him that I forgot the flash and as usual he thought I wanted to say something stupid. I arranged the documents well,but I know without the flash this presentation would be a mess and right now I AM A MESS.
we got to the conference room where the shareholders and some clients were already seated. important personnels,people I have never met before except from the older Mr bustamante. That explains how important this meeting was for the company.
âi apologize for keeping yâall waitingâ. my boss said taking a seat.
âyou didnât keep us waiting,you just Kept to time,I guess we just came a little earlyâ. the oldest of the men spoke.
I went around to share the photocopied documents, something I knew was not the best solution to the problem at least they would understand a thing or two if they looked at the paper. My dad usually said half bread is better than none.
âThe meeting would start nowâ. my boss said again. âthis is Kim,she would present the projectâ.
I stood up and I bowed my head in greeting. kill me already,just kill me. I forced a smile on my face. I looked at the document in my hand,it was the same document I gave to them. I looked at my boss and he was staring at me boring holes into my body like âwhat the hell are you doingâ.
Even though there was no flash there is still hope right? All what I needed was courage and I summoned the courage I had even though I knew it wonât end well. The flash was like the brain of this project.
âthe project is called âBIG FILEâ as I informed yâall in the last meeting we hadâ. i opened the documents before continuing. âBig file is a project that started first in South Korea before it was left unattended to due to their country law. New York City Is a big city so we decided to take over the project collaborating with the biggest electronic company in new York and since we started the project it have shown itself to be an investable project. You might ask,how does big file works? Big file works for people above the age of ten,so it works for practically half and quarter of the cityâs population,when you get signed in to big file,it contains all your informations starting from your name and every other thing that concerns you and_â.
âMiss Kim,you already talked about this the last time we were here. We need the illustration of how big file worksâ a man said.
âyes the illustration. We are tired of the talks.We need a live illustration of_â. another man chirped in until my boss interrupted him.
âLetâs not get so worked up about this. we have the illustration here. Miss Kim input the flash let them see the illustrationâ. he said and I froze unsure of what to do.
I suddenly find my shoes amusing so I looked down.
âDoes this looks like a joke to you?â one of the investor spoke up.
Businesses minded people have low or no level of patience at all. I raised my head to look at their stoic face boring holes into mine.
I should just die now.
âMr bustamante are you playing with us?â. one of the men spoke up directing his question to my boss.
âYou have no idea how much I invested in thisâ another man said.
âMr bustamante are we being scammed?â. The first lady spoke up.
âis there a flash or not?â.
âisnât it obvious there isnât any flash that this project of big file or whatever is a scamâ another man said.
All this while my boss did not speak a word and I knew it was silence before the storm.
A man I persume was the most important person there cleared his throat and they all went silent already. He was the same man that talked about them being a little early. The older bustamante i guess because I have seen him several times outside the office,in the hospital to be precise.
âWe should hear the young lady out and Mr bustamante before we start making conclusions. This is not our first time of coming here so why should we think we are being scammed,This young lady here have done nothing but to do her work efficiently since we have been coming here so I donât know where all this is coming fromâ the man said.
âI am really sorry about thisâ. My boss said bowing his head not before throwing me a hard look.
âSo Ashton is there a flash or not?â the same man asked.
my boss looked at me before saying âThere is a flash, Miss Kim where is the flash?â he asked without any emotion whatsoever and I knew I was in a big mess.
âSir,I _â. I said trying to think of what to say until the man interrupted me again.
âWe should probably reschedule the meetingâ. the man said.
âI donât think that is necessaryâ. My boss said.
âIt is necessary Ash it is,it Is obvious there is a problem here. You should find a solution to the problem before you reschedule the meetingâ. he said smiling. He looked nice and he even called my boss by his name,he even shortened it and the latter did not complain.
âWe should reschedule it then. I am sorry for the inconveniencesâ My boss said with a Stern gaze.
âWe would take our leave nowâ. the man said standing up and the others also stood up. âFind a solution to the problem soonâ.
My boss stood up to walk them out,I was alone in the room and I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.
I packed the documents that they angrily left and I arranged it neatly before calling a cleaner to come and clean the place. I went to my office I sat down not before taking a cold glass of water.
what have you done Kim?
jobless again!.
I couldnât lose my job now,it wasnât just right. dadâs medical bills and I had my own bills to pay too. I was about to lay my head on my table when someone barged into my office making me jump from my seat.
âWhat the hell have you done?â. My boss yelled and I shook.
His eyes were red,he looked so mad like he could strangle me. To say I was terrified was an understatement. I was scared.
well,well,well.
Kim you are jobless already.
