Chapter 495 - Orion Enterprise annual meeting (8) (1/2)
Two women who came to get their envelope were not aware of Isabella and Leah under the desk. Unless someone squatted to look down, or walked on the other side, they could not be seen.
Our two girls were under the table, holding each other, their eyes showing that what happened is not enough… and that they can't wait for these two to leave so that they resume tasting each other.
”Eh?”, they heard one of two women say in surprise.
”What is it?”, the other one was ready to gossip, it seems.
Leah and Isabella froze, wondering if they were spotted. It will be difficult to explain… whoever saw them in such a state, would not find it difficult to come to an understanding of what happened. Their disheveled clothes would point that two of them were either fighting or undressing each other.
What they heard next got them both puzzled.
”Look at this! There is an extra prize for first place!”, woman almost screamed from excitement.
”What extra prize? Where did that come from?”
”Angela just texted, she is downstairs… they announced that winning team gets a dance with Director Martin!”
”No way! You are making it up!”
”No, no… look for yourself! Why would Angela lie? She is not even playing…”
”Eeeeh? … it's not whole team… only one representative.”
”Details… insignificant details… I will represent us!”
”No way… You think I will allow that? That dance is mine!”
”We can decide on that later. First, we need to win! Let's hurry up…”
”You got a point…”
Two ladies took their envelope and walked outside in hurried steps.
Under the desk, Leah was frowning, and her eyes darted around. ”I need to call Sophia.”
Isabella could see that this is something serious and fun time is over… for now.
Two of them stood up and fixed their appearances.
Leah was calling Sophia on the way to the elevator. ”Hey, where are you? It seems that something weird happened… Someone added dance with Felix as a main prize… I don't know who did it… It sounded like more than just a rumor… I'm entering the elevator. See you in a minute.”
…
Leah and Isabella reached group of seven: Sarah, Aiden, JoAnna, Jeff, Sophia, Felix… and David.
Sophia got off the phone and confirmed. ”They announced on the main floor stage that members of the wining team get to pick a representative who will dance with Felix.” Sophia's face was dark.
”We need to tell them it's not approved. They need to pull that out.”, Leah voiced her opinion.
”Wait, let's take a minute and understand the situation…” JoAnna wanted to analyze the situation first. ”Dancing itself is not a big deal but considering that someone used some unknown strategy to make this happen, it's possible that there is more to it than just a dance.”
”It does not need to be a well-developed plot.” Sarah voiced her opinion. ”It can be one woman who wants to feel out our brother-in-law, and she got a chance to slip this to the announcer as an official thing.”
”…and that woman will make sure she wins.”, Aiden added.
Sarah agreed with him. ”True… what is the point in adding him as a prize if she does not get to enjoy it?”
