I walked toward the steel–and–glass door heart better than seeing the look on his face when he sees how I’d handle the situation.
With nothing but anticipation. At least, I have control of the situation now and nothing would make
my
I’ll probably say, “You know what? I don’t think our goals align for this project. Dis Cover needs people with-“I stopped halfway.
No, that would come out so bad like I’m cranky How about lerung him say all the bullshit he wants to say then I’d go “Mr, Levendor, it’s so sad that I’m just seeing the disparities between our goals and you must understand I’m goal oriented.”
“Fucking hell,” I muttered one last time and just took a deep breath, ready to go in and face him. I reached for the doorknob and twisted it just before walking in.
“Nor Brown?”
Not Avro
A scowl fell on my face but 1 pushed that disappointment away in a split second, I can’t afford to show that emotion and just as I look a tentative step closer to him, he rose in his feet, looking at me in the summe manner of awe.
He watched me for a moment like he was looking out for whatever emotion he could find. He finally broke the silence in a professional manner. “Tom Hardy, Avro Levender’s Representative from LeyFirm.
“Of course” answered and shook hands with him. “It’s great to have you here”
“The pleasure is mine, he answered softly. I moved towards the desk and motioned for him to have a seat. “Uh. I apologize for keeping you waiting. Mr Hardy.”
“Tom is fine,” he insisted. “That’s if you don’t mind.”
“Ourgh” I answered and gave a nod. “Gotien, So Tom! I apologize for keeping you u waiting. Something really urgent came up and I needed to sort it
our first.
It’s just a white lie–wouldn’t hurt anyone
no idea if that was just
“That’s okay,” he answered and scratched his stubble beard. His emerald green eyes matched the color of his shirt and I have no a coincidence or uh–something planned.
“It gave me more time to go through what Dis Cover has done over the years. Plus I got entertained by your uh–idk, the two horn girl?” he blurted, not knowing the best way to describe Stacey other than her ridiculous pigtails hair
“Stacey.” I answered. “The receptionist. Her name is Stacey,”
“Right” he affirmed.
“Shall we begin?” I asked, getting bored. Trust me, it has nothing to do with the young man. He’s got quite the humor, although I haven’t laughed more than once. I just think he’s the cool guy who would have easily have an influence on people. Well, Stacey is evidence of what I’m talking
about.
As if reading my mind, Tom placed a file on top of the desk. “It’s trite law that Dis Cover is a great investigation agency and we’ve been hearing great things about this agency and your expertise in uncovering and solving murder mysteries. We’re interested in teaming up with you to tackle some high–profile cases, particularly Morgan Champ’s case. Are you open to
He stopped in the middle of the sentence and a smile was about to take his handsome face but he controlled it and swallowed back the smile. “Are you open to for uh–a potential collaboration?”
Quite an easy question so why the hell was he about to smile? I suddenly had thoughts of what may be going through his mind but I brushed it off and focused “Thank you for reaching out–my tram and I have what it takes and so we’re up for a good collaboration.”
“Perfect”
I leaned back on the swivel chair. “Murder cases are our major focus so may I know if that aligns with your area of operation?”
“Although we have our expertise in different fields in law, murder cases are right up our alley ton,”
“And the distance?” I queried. “Does your boss have any plan on how we can beat that? This agency is situated in Virginia and so does my team members.”

“I understand that, Miss Nor but Virginia is definitely within our trach”
1 took note of that and gave a nod “How long are you thanking of partnering up?”
A few seconds of silence passed and I got the memo. Avro didn’t consider that when he thought about the collaboration.
“We are thinking of a six–month partnership, with the possibility of fature extension.
Future extension. That rang in my head and seemed like a loophole that wro could have calculated and placed right there.
“I need clarity on that” I stated. “I need to know what i should be looking at.”
“I’m sorry but that wasn’t spelt out here. I’ll have to get in contact with the Boss and get back to you on that,”
“Understood, Lanswered calmly. “We can revisai

“Great” He dropped the rest files on the table for my perusal and I reached out for the first one. “Ler’s proceed with the necessary paperwork. Miss Nor. We look forward to working with you
Just as he rose in his feet, I felt the urge to stop him and ask why he was chosen i means–I’m pretty sure employees, and all that so why Tom

Of course. I know it may just be an honest pack due to his efforts at work, qualities, and all but my

I considered asking him how come it’s
“Tom” I called and realized how casual it sounded. We just got acquainted and calling him that didn’t seem very professional to me but who the
hell cares?
“Yes, Miss Nor, he answered. “Do you have any questions you’d like to ask? Any area you need more clarity on! Lean entertain your inquiries.”
i swallowed the lump my my throat and he looked right in his eyes. It wouldn’t take anything to ask him what Avro said about me or better still–if he has any idea why Avro didn’t come bere hinwelt
“You got selected to be the representative, Uh–how long have you worked for Mr. Levendor”
