Chapter 57 - Vexing Woman (1/2)

Usually I don't bother to look into the matters regarding the promotion of company and choosing models and actors for the advertisement. I gave that job to John. He is very good in talking with the clients and everyone. Unlike me, who is very bad at communication.

But miss Megan is a well known international model. I could have let John to handle her but it would make me company look bad, if I had ignored her. So, I had to attend her by myself.

Our conversation went well. I was able to point out the details on what I wanted the customers and the viewers to understand. But there came another problem in this. Miss Megan requested me to personally attend the filming.

” Mr. Lester I think you should be there too.” I had no dėsɨrė to go there. These types of things are super annoying. I was literally growling inside.

” Fine.”

It would be bad to turn her down so, I said yes to her request.

I retuned to my home after my meeting ended with miss Megan. It feels good to come back home after a long day of work. I was starving to eat.

” Welcome back.” Stella greeted me as I walked into the room.

I went to my room and took a bath. After wearing my clothes I went to the dinner table.

Next day it was the time for shooting the advertisement. I was there as I had told to miss Megan. The filming ended with a perfect shot. I must say, miss Megan is really great. Normally it takes few extra shots to get the perfect one but in her case, miss Megan completed it in her first go. That's really impressive.

” Mr. Lester can I talk to you for a minute?” I was sitting on the couch looking at the video clips of the ad. Putting down the ŀȧptop, I looked up to see miss Megan standing in front of me. She had her costume on from the shoot. I wonder why is she here.

” Yes sure.”

” You see, I was supposed to have dinner with my friend but he canceled it on the last moment. Since I have the reservation at the restaurant, would you like to join me?” This feels rather odd. I mean I don't know her well and I don't see the reason to ask me to join her. She can just cancel it and eat at her hotel or somewhere else perhaps. Why ask me for this?

” Well, I don't think I should go with you.” It's such a bother when you have to turn down some one or say no to them. It's even more of a bother when you can't say no on their face.

” Pleaseeeeee. Besides I don't have anyone to give me company.” She began to plead me like a child, looking at me with sympathy. I thought it's not a bad idea. She's just asking me to have dinner with her and she will be leaving soon. So, I can at least do this for her.

” Fine then.”

I called on Stella's phone. She probably reached home by now. If miss Megan had told me before about her proposal, I would have informed Stella much earlier.

” Hey”

” What's up? Why you calling now?” Her voice sounded little confused.

” I'm sorry I can't come home for dinner.”

” Oh. Okay then.... are you eating out?”

” Yeah I have to go with someone. You should eat early and go to sleep. Don't stay awake for me.”

” Yeah, yeah I know. Take care.”
