I went out of the office exactly 7:50 a.m. and walk going the the 4th floor meeting room. As I enter the meeting room, majority of the shareholders are women and there are just 2 men. It's awkward because I have to entertain the women so that we can have their trusts.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen"

I greeted as I started our meeting.

The meeting took 3 hours, and we ended up at exactly 11:00 a.m.

"Thank you for your time.."

I told them.

"Mr. Elexis, do you mind joining us on our lunch?" a woman asked me.

I look at all of them, and said..

"Yes, of course.."

"Good to know.." replied the others.

We all left the meeting room and had our professional-styled lunch on an elite restaurant.

"So Mr. Elexis, what made you give us such a suggestion?"

the man with a pair of eyeglasses asked.

"Oh, I'm just happy today" I said.

"Happy? Maybe your girlfriend is making you happy for almost a day" added the woman with a pink scarf.

"It's good to be always inspired, Mr. Elexis" said the other one.

I just smiled at them, and continued on eating. After that lunch, I went back to my office and took my rest for about 2 hours. I lay down on my sofa and comfortably sleep.

After 2 hours.. I woke up surprisingly when Dad entered madly.

"Elexis! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" he shouted.

I hurriedly woke up and stand infront of him.

"How can you sleep on your couch like that?!" he added.

"I became tired after the meeting earlier" I replied.

"Really? Do you think that you won their shares?"

"What do you mean? They said 'yes'!"

I replied.

He suddenly slap the contract papers on my face.

"That's what you think, idiot!"

he said as he left the office.

I pick up the contract papers and saw the stamp note 'not approved'.

I need to figure out who could be the competitor who took the position of my company.

I hurriedly open my computer and research the current contract signing that happened for about some hours ago. And beyond my research, I found out the company named 'Clarke Abel Inc.'.

I need to talk to the owner of this company.
