BIRTHDAY

As I looked over the document over and over again I didn't think it would be true . It would b an amazing opportunity for the company but there it lay Infront of my eyes .

A small scale farmer who planted apples was looking for a company to help him ship his goods . That was not all that made me happy , he had markets with very important people in the marketing industry that no matter how less they were it would still.

I had to tell Vincenzo about it . I stood up from chair and went to his office and entered without knocking . I regretted it the moment I stepped inside .

He looked up from his work and looked at me as if all he wanted waz to strangle me .

"We do t knock now ?",he asked me .

"Am sorry I was a little pre occupied and forgot ",I said sincerely as I pinched the bridge of my nose hoping he would drop it so that I could tell him what I had come to say in the first place .

"What is it ?",he finally asked as he sat upright in his chair and for a moment I was lost as I looked at the way his shoulders rippled by that little movement .

"Okay so I was going through the documents that you dropped at my desk and I came across a certain proposal that I think will be good for the company ",I said as I handed him the file .

He gave it one look and tossed it towards me .

" We deal with big fish Ana and just from the look of that he isn't one ",he said and I looked at him perplexed .

" What if this big fish one day decide to move their businesses somewhere else uave you ever thought about that ",I said as I took a seat .

" I think he will be good with the company because he hasn't ventured into the middle east and we have contacts their where we could also sell his products ",I said as I stopped to take a deep breathe .

" With a year or so he is going to be that big fish given that he also has clients of his own , if we make him grow and make him be the big fish that we want then we will also grow, imagine all the commission that we would make ",I said pleased with myself .

There was no way that he could deny that . I had given a good peach.

Then all of a sudden he just started laughing . He looked at me and he burst out laughing .

" Anna you are so passionate about this how about you just start your own company since you seem like you have figured it all out ",he said as he looked serious.

" Do you think it's that easy to bring someone to the market ? Do you think people will jump to the opportunity to do business with him when he doesn't even have a name ? Things aren't as easy as you think ",he said at last as he leaned back .

" I know things aren't that easy am not a kid . If you stand behind him and give him the support that he needs then people will obviously take his products serious",I said hoping he was really listening to me because this was more serious than the hatred he had for me .

" I know that if he is with us he will grow to become the best in the market , he also makes wine that could also be good for the company ",I said smiling .

" He makes wine ? ",he asked as he took the file back and started going through it .

"If you had even looked at the file you would have known it ",I said being proud of myself at least he had become interested .

"This is good I hadn't looked at it before but what if he doesn't agree to it or he already got someone else it's been a while considering he sent this proposal three months ago ",he said as he set the file down .

" It doesn't matter though all that matters is going to see him and from there we can make up our mind on what to do about it ",I said smiling .

" I am booked for meetings for at least the next two weeks I don't know if I can find the time to fly down to Mexico to see him ",he said as he stood up .

" Don't worry about it if you like I can go down and check it I can take one of the guys ",I say feeling proud of myself .

" Which guy ? ",he asked as his face showed some emotion of anger .

" I could take one of the finance guys so that he can advice me when it comes to matters of money ",I say and his face relaxes a bit .

" How am I supposed to stay without a secretary ? ",he asks .

" You and I both know you can manage and you've said you won't be around since you have meetings ",I say to him.

" Okay you better hope that this works out because I wouldn't have gone to him , he is not the type of people I deal with ",he said as he smiled a little .

In that moment I was proud of myself . It was a good deal and he wanted it to work out and I was going to do everything to make sure it did so that he could be proud of me .

Now all I had to do was go home and pack and then book plane tickets.

"Okay do let me go down to the finance office and know who I will go with and I need to go book the plane tickets and also pack ",I said as I stood up from my chair .

"There is no need for that I will see who is perfect for the job and you'll take my jet ",he said as he took his jacket and phone like he was ready to leave the office which was a rare occurrence.

"Ooohh won't you be using it ?",I asked him.

"No I can manage you need it more , it will drop you guys and be back to take me wherever I want to go ",he said as he smiled .

"Okay let me go pack ",I said as I turned to leave .

" Can't you do that later , I booked us a table at my favorite hotel I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me ? ",he asked and for a moment I was sure I was dreaming until he said it again .

" It's my birthday and I didn't want to spend it at home buried in documents",he said and I turned around shocked .

" Yeah sure I would love to have dinner with you , but you'll have to drop me home first I can't be dressed like this for your birthday ",I say as I look down at my white suit . The pink heels I was wearing made the look classy .

" I think you look hot either way but it's okay we'll go home and refreshen first ",he said and I couldn't hide my smile as I left the room to go take my purse .

I expected him to leave so that I could follow him but he just stood there as I sorted out the files on my desk and when I was done I turned around to find him still standing there watching me .
