Unfortunate Meeting

Beep Beep ~ Beep Beep ~

Ciara was woken up by the alarm clock. She stretched her hand from under the blanket to turn off the alarm clock.

After a while she lazily sat on the bed.

" Urgh " she grunted and stood up. She walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth.

Once she was done she headed to her room and took her phone. She scrolled through her contact log and called a certain person. After a while the call connected.

" What is it Ciara. I just came back from a conference. I'm extremely tired right now" Adrian complained as he laid on his bed

" You think I'm not tired. Why on earth did you arrange the conference for 7am." Ciara complained as she took her clothes from the walk in closet.

" It's not my fault." Adrian said tiredly. " Please can you let me sleep it's 2am over here"

"Urgh fine .But you better get your *** back here. I'm tired of being in control of your company " Ciara said

" What a lazy partner" Adrian chuckled through the phone causing Ciara to smile.

" Miss Ciara can I sleep now.i promise to compensate you when I come back" Adrian said exhausted.

" Fine . I'll call you later " Ciara said before hanging up. She walked to the bathroom and freshened up.

Ciara and Adrian were friends from highschool alongside Bethany, Ciara's best friend. Ciara developed feelings for Adrian during their college days. He was very good looking, quite muscular, tall and flirty though he always respected girls.

Adrian made his company and Ciara became his business partner though she never envisioned herself doing business she did it to get close to Adrian leaving behind her dream to become an actress.

After a while . She walked out and wore her clothes. She wore a light blue long sleeved shirt tucked in a black pencil skirt that stopped above her knee. She wore a black high heel making her seem taller. She packed her long deep brown hair in a ponytail making her facial features more obvious. She checked the time and saw that she had 30 minutes more. She quickly picked up her bag and dashed downstairs.

" Good morning Miss Ciara" She was greeted by her two maids once she got downstairs.

" Good morning girls" she said as she quickly walked out. She got to her car and her driver drove her to the company.

Ciara was born to a rich family. She lived alone in the house her dad built for her.

She wasn't quite comfortable leaving with her stepmom so her father built a house and made sure all her needs were met.

After some minutes she arrived at the company. She walked in to see some workers chatting. They immediately greeted her and dispersed when they saw her.

She entered the elevator and went to the top floor. She walked to her office to see her assistant was waiting for her outside the office.

" Miss Ciara Good morning. " Suzy said

"Good morning"

" The conference is starting in 5 minutes"

" Alright do you have the documents I asked you to prepare" Ciara asked as she walked into her office.

" Yes "

" ok, let's go" Ciara said after taking a file of documents.

They headed to the conference room and saw the directors, assistants and CEOs of each company was present.since this was a major conference. The conference included four companies meaning a total of twelve people were going to be present aside the other members of this company.

"Good day everyone" Ciara said as she looked at the people present in the conference

" Miss Ciara we can't start now. There's a company missing" Suzy whispered.

Ciara didn't notice initially but now that she was told she became agitated.

She ignored Suzy and continued " I'm Ciara Shen and I'm going to be replacing Mr Adrian. So we..."

Ciara was interrupted when the door was suddenly opened two bodyguard stood in front and a man who was looking at his phone walked in with a older man and a woman behind him . The man in front was undeniably handsome. He looked young yet he had an imposing aura. His hair was well combed and.neat. His suit was deep blue and without a single crease. He had a sharp jaw and a pointed nose. His lips were pink and thin and his eyes were deep blue. He was very tall about 1.8m tall or more and he was quite muscular.

Immediately when he walked in the other people sitting stood up and greeted him causing Ciara to become more agitated. He walked to the other end of the table facing Ciara directly and he sat still typing his phone before the other people sat.

"You really were going to start without us. What audacity" The other man who walked in with him said causing Ciara to glare at him

" Well ,Sir the meeting was scheduled for 7am and from what I see you are late by exactly 3 minutes" Ciara said." I don't see what I did wrong by starting without you"

" Well as a major sponsor of this project I believe you should at least respect the CEO's presence" The man said as he gritted his teeth.

" Uhh...Miss Ciara I don't think you should argue with them. please just let us start" Suzy pleaded but it fell on deaf ears.

" Punctuality is a major attribute of a responsible person and from what I see you lack it " Ciara said causing the other people to hold their breath as they silently pitied Ciara.

" Do you have any idea who we are . " The man said

" I don't care..." Ciara said and was interrupted by the young man who was now staring at Ciara in astonishment.

"Enough" He said causing total silence.

" Let's start now. I'll start the introduction" The woman said

" I'm Sarah the personal assistant of Mr Vanison , the CEO of Terracon companies. And this is Mr Jeremy the Director of the company" the woman whose name was Sarah said.

Brandon didn't notice that Adrian wasn't the one presenting since he was looking at his phone when he walked in but once he heard her voice he immediately looked up. She was very beautiful. What caught his attention was her eyes. They were brown but looked slightly red making it look special.

Ciara had a very bad impression of this company so she literally ignored them during the meeting.

What annoyed her the most was that the Brandon guy didn't say a word, only his assistant and the director spoke occasionally.

Once the meeting was done , Terracon companies left first before any other company.

Once they all left, only Ciara and Suzy were left.

" They're so cocky. They even brought lots of bodyguards for show of. tsk " Ciara said with clear hate and disgust.

" Miss Ciara. You really shouldn't have spoken back at them. They might get angry and stop sponsoring out project" Suzy said

" Of course. They'll only prove how irrelevant they are . Come on we have work to do. " Ciara said and walked out causing Suzy to sigh and follow her
