CHAPTER 4

This is the first time she is coming here. So, she was planning to make some changes to the president's office as per her taste. But when she entered her room, she was quite impressed. She can tell from the interior that it was Liam that designed this room. He was very talented in interior work but he designs only for his family and close friends as he hates to do business with his hobby.

"Boss do you like it?"

"of course. How can I not like it when it was designed by the most efficient designer I have ever known?"

Liam was very proud and smiling from ear to ear hearing the praises from his Boss. The room was painted with black and white colours. In the right side of her seat, a large sized beautiful black butterfly was drawn on the white wall. On the left side of the wall one half was filled with files and folders related to business and the other half has a big framed photo of Hope and her grandmother who was very dear to her.

The room may look simple to everyone but only hope knows that he has designed it specifically according to her likes. She always likes to be simple and organized.

After seeing the picture Hope's eyes became blurred because of the accumulated tears and she stood still there. "Boss. Did I overdo it? Should I remove the photo?" Liam asked nervously.

"no. let it be there. Now you can go make arrangements for the meeting and notify me when everything is ready". she collected herself and went ahead.

After Liam left, she took her time to look around the rest of the office. The cabin was attached with another room which has a bed and lounge for resting which was also painted in black and white. Then she started to verify the proposals submitted for her to check.

After 30 minutes Liam sent a message notifying that the meeting starts in the next 5 minutes.

She got ready and went to the conference hall. When she arrived there, almost everything was ready and everyone was waiting for her.

As soon as she arrived "You can skip the introductions please. I will get know you from your performance not by your introductions. So, don't waste your time and start with the presentation."

The presentation started and she listened to everyone patiently once in a while giving a few instructions and modifications to be made. After an hour and thirty minutes the meeting came to an end.

When she was about to leave her seat, a middle-aged man cleared his throat "Boss, if you don't mind can I suggest something?" she sat down again and nodded her head.

"Boss we have got a proposal from the famous director John Abraham asking for investment into his new movie. He is known for his box office records. Shouldn't we use this opportunity before he goes for another company"

"I have already looked into the proposal and we are not doing it." she said without any expression on her face

"But Boss he is very famous. He will help us get more profit " The middle aged man was very much disappointed from the decision made by his boss which is very much evident in his facial expressions.

"The proposal was not genuine and there were a lot of legal issues with that project and that's why I rejected it. If there is nothing else everyone can carry on with their work."

"I think you are not aware of his past records since you have been abroad for a long time. You are making a wrong decision. If we can get our hands on this project, we can get 5% more profit this year. I'm telling this from my experience so please reconsider your decision as I have been in this industry for years more than your age."

Liam was very clear about the challenge he is throwing at his boss and when he was about to say something to him, Hope stopped him and smiles at him.

Liam was aware of the meaning behind his boss's smile thus he thought that 'you have messed with the wrong person. You shouldn't have challenged my boss. Only god knows what she is going to do you.'

"May I know your name"

"It's Charles, the director of art department. And I have been in this industry for almost 20 years" He said proudly.

"So Mr.Charles, if you have more talent than me you are most welcomed to leave your position here and start you own company with all the experience you have. Do you think I founded this company and has branches in more than 10 countries without knowing anything about this industry? The so-called project you recommended is a stolen script from an assistant director and he is preparing to file a lawsuit against the director which must have made the news headline by now as we are speaking. If you don't believe me you can check your phone"
