Maia & Mr.R
” Get out!” yelled Mr.Smith.
“Ok Mr.Smith. But Remember one thing you will regret being this two-faced.“, I told him calmly and begin to exit this meeting room.
” Oh! Is it? Ok, what are you going to do? yes, I am canceling your deal because your so-called enemy Mr.R asked me not to do any partnership with you. Remember You can do nothing let alone your dream of becoming a successful CEO of your company. Why are you risking everything? For a middle-class girl like you marrying a rich guy is like a miracle in your life. Why don’t you try it? I am sure with your beauty maybe you can be a mistress if not a wife. Don’t worry even as a mistress you will get everything in your life which is impossible for you. What do you say? Huh?” Said Mr.Smith cocking an eyebrow looking at me mockingly.
I sigh loudly shaking my head before replying, ” Mr. Smith, If you don’t accept my deal it’s completely Ok. But don’t insult me or my dream. Oh no, it is not my dream MY GOAL. And For your information, I already know that maybe you will cancel this deal because of Mr.R, and no by no means, I am surprised by you canceling my deal or speaking this ill of me. So Excuse Me.”
I walked towards the door. Before leaving the door, I looked at him over my shoulder and cleared one thing,” And lastly one thing Mr. Smith last time when I came I thought this company as a condom company not a matrimonial business for middle-class girls like me”. I smirked and left there.
When I left there, I felt a huge weight placed on my shoulders. That I have to find another partner AGAIN. I sighed and left the building and walked towards the bus station. I checked my watch to only found that I missed my regular bus. I shake my head and waited for the next bus which is in 20 minutes.
Hi! I am Maia Yamineth. As mentioned in the conversation earlier, I am a normal middle-class girl. My father is a manager in a milk company. My mother is a waitress at a diner. I have a sibling who is my youngest sister. You know what since I am the eldest my family expects me to be more responsible and do as they say. I mean it’s okay sometimes. But always NO! A big NO!
I am studying medicine as per their wish. I too like it but my goal is to be a CEO of a VERY successful company. i.e an online shipping company. You can say I am inspired by those billionaires’ stories. You know what medicine is not only my family’s wish but also as a GIRL it is very suitable for me. I hate it that there. If I haven’t said that then I am a firm believer in human equality for both males and females.
I am currently in my third year of medicine. I also work in raising my company slowly very slowly. But my parents don’t know any of these. They are thinking that I am doing my medicine very well by my grades. No, I am not the topper. But somewhat Ok level grades because I don’t want to waste my degree. So I am surviving both medicine and business. Let’s say it’s not very easy.
Ok, the Bus arrived. I took it and reached my dorm.
When I entered my dorm, my best friend Ava smiled at me widely.
" Maiaaaa, How does the meeting go? what profit will you get?” she asked me excitedly.
" Ava, the deal got canceled. Nothing new to be surprised about or nothing new damage to be repaired. I kind of expected it you know right?” I asked her while getting my pajamas from our closet.
“Oh, girl. Is it again anything to do with that Mr.R?” She asked me sadly.
“Mm. Don’t worry. you know what It’s normal in the business world. If we feel upset at everything, then we can’t even survive for 1 day.” I told her with a fake smile.
" But what you said is applicable for living in the business world. Not to even enter that world,” she argued.
Maybe she is right, But I can’t do anything about that except try. And I am not quitting it.
“Ava, It’s ok. I will be a CEO even if not today but someday.” I smiled a real smile this time. I left for the bathroom to change for the night.
" Ok! But remember When you are a CEO, I will be your family doctor. OK?” She shouted to me behind the bathroom door.
I let out a laugh and replied, ” OK! OK! I promise.”
Then we exchanged our goodnights and went to bed.
While I am laying on my bed, I Smiled when I thought of Mr. Alberto Astor. He is like another father of mine. Tomorrow is his wedding anniversary. He invited me. So I am more than happy to meet him. He is the CEO of the top online shipping company in the world, E-mart inspired by Walmart. He is my inspiration. I met him when I tried to know about his business. I just tried with no intention of meeting him. Because I know that he will not meet me because I am just a nobody compared to him. But to my surprise, He met me that’s when he became friendly to me. He offered to help me for achieving my goal. But I rejected his help because I thought that is just not right. But I am happy that he is kind enough to even remember me to invite his wedding anniversary party.
I smiled and before sleep engulf me I made a mental note to myself to ask him about who is this Mr.R who is causing me so much headache.
