*Riiiiiiiiiing*
"Hello?" I said in a sleepy, low tone.
"Mathilda! Don't you know what's the time now?" Bettina shouted. I looked at the time and it's past 10 A.M in the morning. "I'll see ya around in a min." I hang up as i finished talking to Bettina. Grab my cleanest working attire, bathe, change, make-up and head out to office. It was 11.45 A.M when I reached office. "Good Morning, Mat. That's very early of you." Kelly greet me the very moment I stepped into the office while she's at my desk waiting for me.
"Hi Kelly. Sorry, I was kinda hangover from last..."
"Enough said, darling. Get yourself a cup of coffee and head to the meeting board." Kelly interrupt before I could finish what I'm going to explain. "Meeting board in ten." She continued, to everyone in the office.
Elisa, Ethan, Corrina, Courtney, Skye & Leo each move their own butt out of their seat and head over to the meeting board as said.
"What happened to our darling girl of Kelly & Co.?" Elisa, my best bud over a decade, my direct boss asked. "Enough is enough Elisa. You know what happen. You just know." Of cos Elisa knew what happened last night. "Of cos I knew everything! Gordon called me this morning when he can't reach you at your mobile. What really happen to the both of you?" Elisa asked in a curious manner. "Well, after the drinks and Bungalow, I was kinda, you know, tipsy. And all I remember is I sat on this lap and kissed him like nobody business? We made out at my place." I replied, blushing. "Uhuh... and then?" She asked, again. "Then I fall alseep and this morning I woke up when you called." I answered. "Right."
"Can I have al the updates from all my darlings?" Kelly asked. "Patick from Rush called this morning saying that the event for next month's opening have to be a grand and a posh one. Also have to invite all the A-list celeb, by hook or by crook. I agreed to him, assuring him that no hiccups." Leo answered. "Good." Kelly said. "Matinia replied to my email regarding the company private party at Lot61 has been confirmed and need us to carry on with all the job." I reported to Kelly. "Well done, Mat. Be sure that everything is going smooth. Court, Skye. You'll both assist Mat with all the work. Be sure you get what Matinia and Mat need." Courtney & Skye nodded. "Carry on with whatever you peeps need to do." Kelly said while she's walking to the door.
By the time we finished our meeting, it's already half past 1 P.M. Elisa and I rushed to the Starbucks opposite my office and saw Sam sitting there alone, looking stone. Well, it's a Monday and everyone seems to be blue. "Hey, over here." Sam waved his huge and long hands while calling for us. "Hi." We kissed each other on the cheek and I find a comfortable sitting position. "You guys seems tired, and stressed. How's work?" Sam is another bud of mine after Elisa. The three of us know each other in high school. "Good, I supposed?" I said with a sigh, while Elisa is on the phone, talking to her client. "What's that mean? You don't sound as good as I thought it to be." Sam said. "Well, well.. I don't know. Just tired of what I'm doing right now. Maybe it's time for me to take a long break of all the shitty work." I love doing the events thingy. I love to plan all the events I'm doing for my clients. But maybe I'm sick and tired of being a staff. I always wanted to do my own business. My own events company. "I understand.. I've this feeling too." Sam comfort me. "Oh, by the way. Your mum called me this morning." "My mum? Called you this morning? For what?" I said in a very strong curiousity manner. "Nothing much actually. Just inviting me over for a dinner." That's my mum. She always thought Sam is my boyfriend. Elisa giggles after she hanged up. "Your mum is so cute. Why didn't she thinks we're lesbian?" She said after the gig. "It's not funny." Yes, it's not funny for a women at the age of 26 years old without a boyfriend after 5 years. "Honey, it's time for you to get a boyfriend. You're single for the past 5 years! Aren't you feel lonely at time?" Elisa said. Of cos I do feel lonely! 5 years, hello! 5 years of singlehood! Given to which human being, he/she will feel so. "What are you waiting for? For Chris sake, will you please stop putting yourself up there on the shelve?" Sam commented. "You think I'm happy with my singlehood? You think I'm not lonely? BUt what can I do when Gordon didn't take any action?" I kind of whisper-shout. "Alright, alright. But hey, isn't there any improvment between the two of you?" Sam asked with concern. "I don't know. At times he's so lovely. But at times he's like not interested." "Do something then!" Elisa said. "What am I suppose to do? Why don't you teach me." I replied. Before Elisa speaks, my mobile rang. "Hello? Mathilda speaking.." "Hi there, this is Michelle from Baby Phat. Can I talk to you regarding our company's Road Show cum Bash that's going to be held 8 months from now?" The other party said. I showed the one minute signal to Sam & Elisa while I replied. "Yes, of cos. How can I help you with the Road Show?" "Yes. Good. I need your help. My boss is looking at holding the Road Show cum Bash at any of the posh and grand club here. Capacity is 500 people. We have regular clients like Cameron Diaz, Justine Timberlake, Beyonce and so on. So my boss, Kimori Lee, is looking for some top celeb to come by and see. We would like to invite most of them to the bash. We need you to do all the sourcing and invitation for us." "Great. I'll do the job for you. I'll contact you again once I finish all the updates." I said. Great smile. Big project. Elisa smiled back at me and we both cheers. I update Elisa with the project while Sam, looks kinda lost. "Hello? Am I invisible? it's lunch break now!" Sam complainted. "Sorry honey, I'm so sorry. While Michelle from Baby Phat, you know? The famous Hip-hop branding from the former top model Kimori Lee?" Sam nodded. "Good. They wanted us to help them with their Road show cum Bash at one of the posh and grand club here. "Find Gordon! He owns 2 clubs here, don't he?" Elisa said. I nodded. "Yes darling. This is what I'm gonna do. I will call him up to discuss this matter later. At the mean time, let us have a peaceful lunch before Sam complains again, will that do?" I smiled sweetly to Sam. He gave us a wide smile and we carry on with our lunch.
