Chapter 100 - Rubbish Excuses... (1/2)

Soon Monday came and Veronica was already in her office, getting some work done. She was checking some new project ideas to decide which one to select.

Finalizing everything she finally chose the best one and informed Willa to call the team for an urgent meeting who were handling this project.

Few minutes later, Willa knocked on her door and came inside as she said, ”Ma'am I have settled the meeting with our team half an hour later. Is there anything else you need?”

Veronica looked up at her from the computer and replied, ”Nothing much. Just make a coffee for me if you can.”

”And for me too.” Another voice came from the door.

Louis entered the room and took a seat on the chair opposite to Veronica. He then looked at Willa again and said for the second time, ”I also want a cup of coffee for me.”

Veronica rolled her eyes at his behavior and scoffed, ”Don't you have your own assistant to order around?”

”Yes. I do. But still Willa make the best coffee.” Louis eyed at Willa which in turn received a scowl from her.

After Lucinda came back with two cups of coffee and handed them to the both, she was going to leave the office when Louis stopped her, ”Willa stay here. I have something to tell you both.”

Willa looked at Veronica asking for permission if she should stay or leave and in response got a swift nod from Veronica. So she sat beside Louis and focused on him.

”So what do you want to say?” Veronica asked as she took a sip of the coffee.

Louis gave a quick stare at both of the girls and said, ”Well, my assistant got a call from Mr. Brown's assistant asking for an appointment with us.”

Willa frowned at this and questioned, ”Mr. Brown? As the CEO of Brown Corporation?”

Nodding at Willa, Louis looked at Veronica who was now in a deep thought and asked her, ”What do you think about this? Should I accept for an appointment with them or not?”

Veronica scratched her chin with her index finger and gave her attention back to Louis, ”I think you should accept it to find what they want from us and if they are talking for any collaborations then go through the deal first then inform me about it. If the deal is negotiable then we'll decide later to take it or not. And don't agree with the appointment right now, take two or three days before it.”

”I understand.” Louis said before leaving Veronica's office.

”Ma'am.. it's also been the time for the meeting.” Willa reminded her she checked her watch.

Finishing the coffee, Veronica got up before saying,, ”Okay. Let's go then.”

Veronica left the office with Willa carrying the important files and USB drive.
