13. Cousin Sophia's Arrival

Calliope Jane Edwards

Trip to Ireland was beyond my imagination. It's been a while I hardly remembered anything there except for the house my dad bought for us so that we could stay there whenever we went there to stay during our vacations .

After dad died, this was the first time we went there and Uncle Bobby made sure we never missed a single bit of dad during our stay there.

In fact , I asked him to give me away on my wedding day. Being dad's older brother, he could do it for me instead of my dad.

Did I mention about my memories back there? Greg, Niall, Dani and I had a good laugh of all the things we did as kids.

Oh How I wish I could get some more days in Ireland, but as it is stated in the world, all good things come to an end.

I sat at my desk and worked on the new clothing line we were bringing into the market.

Working with Jack Wills was one of the best thing ever. I sat there working on the promotion of the new plan when one of my workers walked in

"Yes Ross! What can I do for you today?" I asked with a smile. I was just so happy

"Ms. Edwards, I'm not very sure if you might be very to happy to hear this" he hesitated as he spoke to me

"Don't worry, Ross. Nothing could get me upset today. I am just so happy and I got to know this morning that my cousin is coming today. Trust me nothing can ruin that" I told him

"Remember the sponsor we got in for the new project line right?" he asked me

"Of course, that was one hard deal to get" I reminded him

"Well" he paused and looked at my face. He tried to speak but no words came out

"Ross, are you trying to tell me that they withdrew?" I slowly asked him and I get a nod in response

This day just become a bad day.

"How? Why? When?" I was so lost and upset. "It came in this morning and-" his words were interrupted by my office phone ring. I picked up and I knew who it was

"Mr. Smith needs you in his room immediately" she said "I'll be there" I reply and keep the phone down.

Now, it's become one of my worst.

"I need to go right now" I told Ross as I collected my phone and the file Ross brought in "And you go to your desk and just continue your work" I told him and walked out of my room.

I walked over to my boss's room and knocked on the door "Come in" I heard his voice.

I was in big trouble.

I opened the door and walked into the room. I stood behind the chair and waited for his attention to come on me but he continued to look at his paper works

"Is it true that that the Marchand's have withdrawn?" He asked me without looking at me

"It is, they aren't in the position to sponsor us. They've found a better client" I almost mumbled and that made him look at me

"Calliope, I had given you one job and that was to rope in the Marchand's for the company!" He yelled

"But Paul, they've just withdrawn from the new project. Not the company" I told him "But you are aware of how important this is" he asked me again

"I'll get you someone -" "Better? Tell me, will you get anybody in the time we have?" he cut me off "Will you?" He asked me. I did not reply

"And you said you wanted to take off early today, wasn't it?" I nod "Well, I guess you can't. " he told me very sternly
