Agathias re-lock the phone screen. He simply reads the contents of the message sent by the former, not intending to reply or agree to a call to meet. After all, his work is a lot. Loralei was already focused on the screen, for what he was wasting time on something that was already in the past.
The boss starts opening the email, reading the documents from other companies sent to him for submission. Usually, before the meeting, Agathias must have studied first, so as to know if there is a problem or not.
From seven o'clock they were already in the office, until now two hours long butt sitting on the chair. Agathias looked towards the clock at the wrist, pointing to the number nine.
Agathias remembers that there's a meeting now. “Tumben once Loralei hasn't reminded me of the last second,” murmured.
Ever since they got more sticky and friendly, Agathias got more excited. He stood up quickly, not to worry too if his secretary forgot not to remind.
“Lo?” call Agathias. But, not getting an answer.
A pair of Agathias' feet swung towards the secretary's desk. “Just shut up when I call. Turns out sleep.”
The smile of Agathias was clearly printed when he saw the face of the wife who was so peaceful when closed. Hands to wake. But, undone. “Surely he is exhausted, last night has satisfied me.”
Be the boss to let it go. Want to be carried and moved to the sofa or break room, but know that Loralei is easy to wake up when something bothers. So Agathias left his wife in a sleeping state with arms crossed on the table.
Agathias also closed the door so quietly. Minimize the presence of sound. “Tumben he fell asleep at work,” he said as he stepped into the meeting room.
Fortunately the interested are not Agathias's companies. So, who will prepare is the applicant. He simply came, and chose which one is suitable to be a partner in his big project.
Time has shown nine o'clock over five minutes. Surely all representatives of the company who requested cooperation were present. Agathias pushed the door without knocking. However, the eyes immediately rounded when he found the figure of Aretha—mantannya in there.
Still ignored, Agathias took a seat at the very end of the chair and could see everyone. He was not affected in the slightest by the former's existence.
“Sorry, I'm late.” Agathias opened the document before him which was definitely from the representatives of the five companies in the room. “Mari directly started.”
Agathias allows representatives of each company to present proposals clearly and in detail. His gaze fell on the document, also occasionally staring at the presenter. Not even a glance at Aretha, though aware that the woman stole a glance at him.
The clock's needles kept turning, four already exposed, the rest one. It's definitely Aretha. Agathias had no idea that the former worked for a company he wanted to work with, not finding out about it either. But it still has to be professional.
“Already? Only four are interested here?” agathias asked in a firm voice and certainly did not remove the fierce impression.
All eyes looked at Aretha, and made the woman flutter. “Oh, yes. Sorry, I forgot.” He stood up and prepared his presentation.
After all, Agathias closed the document that had been read. “My decision cannot be now. There are many things to consider. Maybe, one more week I will tell you, anyone who deserves to be a partner in my mega project.”
Agathias tidied up the documents to carry. “You can go!” he said as the body stood up. Meeting this time spent three hours because there was a question and answer process also to make more convincing the right choice.
Before Agathias made it out, Aretha quickly approached and blocked the path of the former. “Can we talk to you for a minute?”
