I scanned through the paper to the page her buses desk.
“Please I’d love for every one of you who ticked the black box to signify with their hands up, Ana said, shuffling through the papers.

I raised my hand alongside Kelvin who furrowed his brow when he saw me raise my hand. I couldn’t help laut wonder what it was acted like he knew me and I was a bad person.
was with b
him. He
The other shareholders didn’t want to gamble t with their shares in the company and they ticked the blue box for fresh frozen foods,
Ana’s face lightened up seeing the two people who supported her idea. Though she didn’t let me catch her smiling at me, I knew she was happy that she had people on the band who supported her idea,
Please can you let us know why you ticked the black box? Why do you want ilse company in venture into the fast food market even when you know
an lead to potential loss?” She asked again and the other shareholders looked at Kelvin and me amIAS.
Their thoughts would be, who in his right seisse would want a new company to taste a new inarker that could lead to potential loss of their money!
“Your plan is a good one, the best I’ve heard in years and even though other companies failed, carrying out theirs, yours is going to be different with the kind of menu you have. You have my full support to carry on with the initial idea” Kelvin said and Ana beamed with smiles.
“Thank you so much. Mr. Kelvin I appreciate your support
“Mr. Quinn! Do you have anything you might like to add She asked finally locking eyes with me since the meeting commenced
“I know that we are all shareholders who are here to invest and get returns on our investments but let’s not forget that we are also here to support your dreams and give you the satisfaction of achieving them. Business is supposed to be a win–win for us all but while we expect a win, let’s also expect losses because losses oftentimes help us to get things right in business. If you are afraid of gambling a hundred dollars that has the potential of yielding a million dollars then I don’t think that investment is for you” I finished holding back some words that almost fell out of my mouth
I was about to tell them to leave while they still could instead of limiting the company and the possibilities at had but I remembered that it wasn’t my company that I could say things plainly and It could sound offensive saying it here so I held back
The board was silent for a while after my speechless and And’s gaze was pinned on me. She looked taken aback by my words. Kelvin looked surprised that 1 spoke e those words and their different expressions made me wonder more, what was it with Kelvin and the way he looked at me!
Kelvin broke the silence with a loud clearing of his throat.
“Well, we have heard from the two people the reasons w
why they ticked the black box and from our silence, I think that you all see sense in their words. I could have done another round of votes but there’s no need to since the holder with the majority shares carries the vote and both of them have the major share in the company so thar company would have to go with their choice. She said plainly and some of the members murmured.
“If you’re not okay with the development, you can sell your shares and leave the company’s board please” She said, surprised with her words.
We rounded up the meeting after that and I rushed to meet Kelvin who was on his way out.
“Do you know me from somewhere?” I asked walking behind him and he turned to me:
Tm asking because of the way you look at me, I feel like we fought for our previous lives if that is even a thing.” I smiled but his face remained stiff.
“Ialori’t know you Mr. Quinn and I don’t wish to know you” He stated plainly and walked away. I left foreboding by the way he addressed me but I pushed it away.
The nanor had him solid.
I went back to the meeting hall to see Aria
na talking t
to a few bound anembers and I stood aside to let her finish with them first. –
“So I didn’t even get a thank you‘ after all the support I gave?” I asked with a hairs tone making her tilt her head.

Her smiley face turned to a deep frown when she saw me and her change of expression hurt me even more. I wanted to ask her why she was so
me for Veronica’s mistake. For something I didn’t even know happened list I decided not to bring that up here else I’ll in my chances of talking to her almost the jobs offer.
Thank you, Mr. Quinn? She said and made to leave at I held her back.
Her assistant wanted to peel my hands from her skin but I glared at her and she folded a bit. The hall was empty by then and all the shareholders
had left

“I want to have a word with Ana. Leave us,” I said in a commanding tone but she ignored me and looked at her boss instead.
“It’s okay, you can leave, I’ll be out before you know it” She said with a nod and Ivy left us.
“What is it?” She asked, folding her hands the moment I left her.
“Sit, don’t worry, I won’t bother you with personal needs or desires. I have a business to talk about,” I said, taking a seat and she sighed before taking the opposite seat.
“Thave five minutes to spare. Make it quick” She said with a nonchalant attitude but I ignored her.
“That’s no way to talk to a colleague you’ll be working with for a whole week outside the country now,” I said with a smile, indirectly spilling the tea.
Her brow arched at my words. “What do you mean by that?”
I thought you wouldn’t ask,” I said with squared shoulders.
“Some of my partners reached out to me and asked me to organize an event for them that is taking place next month outside the country. They asked me to talk to you as they would love you to handle the refreshments for that day. I said with a smirk and she looked at me with excitement in
That’s good news” She said calmly, trying to conceal the excitement she felt
“So how long is this event going to be and what type of dishes do they want on the menu?” She asked question after questions without a pause and 1 had to calm her down.
“Take it easy now, that is the reason why they wanted me to discuss with you so we can arrange a meeting and discuss the details with them.” I replied, amused by her real to work
“Alright, let me know when you arrange a meeting with them.” She said, standing to her feet.
“I don’t have your number remember?” I said with a smile but she didn’t spare me a g
a gaze again
“You have my email. Mr. Quinn. My assistant would respond to you on there,” She said, walking out with pride.
