Chapter Twenty ‘Meet Daisy, my…’
She had stayed in all day Sunday. On Monday she made her way to My Studio. She wore her blue leather tank top with a black leather skirt. It flung to her above her knees and clung to her body. She wore black boots. She got her silver Porsche Boxster this time, after all Kenny took her Ferrari 360 Spider. She parked in between her not anymore convertible and a Dodger Viper. She looked at the car in awe. She walked inside the building. Everyone was in a rush.
‘Hi,’ she said cheerily to the receptionist. The receptionist, Bernice Liu, just stared at her. It was the same response she kept getting from last week. She didn’t stop to that. She’ll get to the bottom of her misery. She can never see someone not smile. That is so not normal for her. She got on the lift to the top level, not realising her mistake until she got there. Her office was at level 3 not 15. She caught a glimpse of Kenny. Odd, what was he doing there? She thought.
She approached him. ‘Hey, Kenny.’
‘Glad you made it. The managers here,’ he walked inside the office with her in tow. There stood a stunning woman just like a model.
‘Take a seat,’ came the cold tone from her. She guessed that this woman was ugly in the inside forget the outside.
‘Hi, I’m Charlene Choi,’ she introduced herself. She went up to the woman to shake her hands. But the woman just gave a cold stare at it as if she possessed some dieses. She looked at Kenny. He shrugged.
The woman sat herself on the leather chair. She wanted to scream that it was meant to be her sitting there not her but controlled herself. ‘Daisy Lin. Sit down,’ she ordered.
They both sat down in the opposite chairs of hers. Daisy mentioned the rules and regulation that she must follow. Updated her on the company then practically threw them out of the office.
‘What a meany!’ she stated outside the office. They went on their way down to the 3rd level. They discussed the plan for today all the way to her office. Her secretary Vaness Wu sat behind the desk outside her office. He was also dating one of models, Cecilia. They both couldn’t keep their hands off each other. She had to tear the couple apart many times. At least that doesn’t go for Kenny and Ruby or she would have had a hand full.
‘Bring me tea, please,’ she said on her way inside. ‘And coffee for Kenny.’
She sat herself in her small office. He sat opposite her with the desk in between. They were talking about the graphic designer she needs. They searched for good companies until they got the best.
‘I got one!’ Kenny shouted. He had been sitting on the carpet with papers around him. He went up to her on the opposite chair. ‘Yu Graphic Design LTD in Thailand, Taipei. What do you think?’ he looked at her.
‘Who owns it?’ she was sitting on her chair rubbing her forehead. It was a stressful morning for them.
‘Late Yu left it to his only son…’ he looked down the papers for the name. ‘Shawn Yu.’ This got Charlene’s full attention, noticing this he asked, ‘Do you know him?’
‘Yeah, met him last week.’
‘That’s great! Call him up,’ he made it sound so easy. Well it wasn’t.
‘You call him up,’ she went back studying some pictures.
He came and stood beside her. ‘Come on, if I ask for an appointment you don’t know when his gonna see us.’ She sighed. Putting the papers down, she stared at him. ‘Please,’ he begged. ‘The sooner we do this the sooner we finish today.’
‘You got a date with Ruby?’
‘Yeah! I wanna propose,’ he was in his dreamland.
‘Propose?’ she shrieked. ‘Congratulation!’ she hugged him.
‘Don’t tell her though. I wanna make it a surprise.’
‘You can trust me.’
‘So, are you going to phone?’ he raised his eyebrow.
‘Okay, okay,’ she laughed at his puppy look. Picking up the phone she dialled the number he gave her. It went straight to the secretary.
‘Hello, Yu Graphics how may I help you?’ came the cheery tone from a woman.
‘Hiya, this is Charlene Choi,’ she was copying the secretary’s cheery tone. ‘May I talk to Shawn, please?’
‘Let me see. Please hold,’ the other side was silent. She mouth to Kenny that she was on hold. ‘Miss Choi?’ the secretary was back on line.
‘Yes?’
‘I’ll put you through,’ the call was diverted to his office she presumed.
‘Hello, Charlene?’ Shawn was on the line now.
‘Yes. Hiya, have I caught you in a bad time?’
‘No, no,’ he rushed the words. ‘Is there anything I can help you with?’ the tone of his voice was eager.
‘Well…yes actually. I need a Graphic Image Designer and I checked that you’re the best company there is…’ she stopped. Kenny waved his hands around hysterically.
‘And you thought of me?’ he finished her sentence. ‘It’s okay. What are you doing tonight?’
‘Tonight?’ Kenny nodded his head hysterically now motioning her to say yes to him. She pushed his head away from her. ‘Nothing. Why?’
‘How about dinner?’
‘I don’t know…’
‘Don’t take it the wrong way or anything,’ he rapidly said. ‘I’m leaving for Taipei tomorrow morning and I won’t be back till next week. And I will be really busy.’
‘Fine, dinner sounds fine…’
‘Okay I’ll meet you tonight at Daniels’ Restaurant at 7. Do you know were that is?’
‘Yes. I’ll see you there. Bye.’
‘Bye.’ She hung up the phone. ‘I thought you gave me the number to his company in Taipei?’
‘I know but this one is the HK one,’ he shrugged his shoulder.
‘So he has more than one company around?’ she asked. He nodded. She sighed and suggested to have lunch.
They went downstairs in the café for lunch. It was joined at the side of the building. Seated herself down with Kenny opposite her they ordered some pastries and sandwiches. They didn’t have time to go to a restaurant since they have half an hour. As they were eating the still discussed business. She knew she could trust him with her secret but thought against it. She wanted Nicholas, her best friend to know first.
‘Charlene,’ a familiar voice called from behind. She tilted her head up to face Edison. She put on a smile.
‘Hi,’ she saw him looking uneasy with Kenny. ‘This is my P.A, Kenny. Kenny, meet Edison. His just a friend,’ she purposely said the last bit. She smiled with satisfaction when he flinched. Was she happy with it? Not one bit! ‘What brings you here?’
He didn’t get the chance to answer when a high-pitched voice called out his name. All three of the looked at Daisy who was making her way to their table. Well, making her way to Edison. She intensely looked at the two of them. Daisy had come and wrapped her arms around Edison’s neck and gave him a kiss him fully on the lips. She turned away. Kenny just looked at them.
‘Let’s go,’ she quietly said to Kenny. Without saying anything they both got up to leave. But was stopped by the couple.
Even though the couples’ were looking at them Daisy’s arm was linked with Edison’s. ‘Do you know them?’ she asked Edison.
‘Yes,’ he replied. ‘We met in her uncle’s wedding.’
‘Oh, right,’ she looked Charlene up and down. She had a smug look on her face.
‘Charlene… I’d like you to meet… Daisy Lin… my fiancée,’ he looked away not making eye contact. Charlene stared at him in disbelief. She shook her head. This cannot be happening to me, she thought. No, please say it’s a dream.
‘I… urm… have work to do,’ she quietly said. She hazily walked away.
