100 Days With Mr Romero

“Scheduling that meeting was the perfect thing to do. ” Emma said before hanging up the call.

It’s time to finally meet them after these years. Emma thought.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

She had finished packing her things in her handbag and was waiting for her driver to arrive.

So Judy wouldn’t back off? thought Emma as she sat waiting for her driver. She knew Judy had been working really hard to discover her identity and her agents informed her.

The driver will take her home then she will dress and join Gideon for the dinner meeting at exactly 7pm. She had changed the venue. She wouldn’t be meeting them in her office.

Ever since Judy started her quest of uncovering who owned LIA’S, Emma was aware of it. She had been preventing Judy from getting to her and with expert agents and researchers at her service, Emma has been giving Judy a though time.

In fact, the agent that scheduled the meeting was working for Emma and was working based on her directives unknown to Judy and Gideon.

“The driver is here. ” announced Emma’s assistant after knocking on her door.

She grabbed her handbag with some documents and hurried downstairs. She left the office and was seated in the car with Francis her driver who was taking her home.

She wondered what Judy was still doing around Gideon and couldn’t help but wonder whether they were together. She blamed Gideon for being insensitive and a cheat. Why will Judy still be working for him when he knew that she was the genesis of their failed marriage .

That’s none of my business Emma assured herself and stepped out of the car after the driver pulled over in thier garage. She quickly got out and hurried inside.

“Hi guys. ” she greeted her parents and raced up the stairs.

After taking a shower, Emma stared at her wardrobe aimlessly. She was trying to figure out what to wear for the business dinner that night.

After several thoughts, She pulled out a fancy lilac dress she bought from the Bahamas when visited a year ago and selected a glossy heel.

She decorated her lengthy hair, powdered her face, carved her brows and oiled her lips. She knew she was looking really breath taking. She smiled and anticipated Gideon’s reaction when he sees her.

She smiled again pondering on the fact that she will be meeting Gideon and him on other hand wasn’t aware he was meeting her.

She had instructed her agent to text Judy the new meeting address. They were having the business dinner in the auditorium of a five star hotel in the city.

In his office, Gideon kept flipping one file after the other. Judy was with him in the office helping him arrange the documents they will be needing for the business meeting.

“The agent had just texted me the address Sir. ” announced Judy while swiping her phone screen.

“What’s the address? ” Gideon asked.

“Auditorium of the New York five star hotel. ” replied Judy.

“What? ” marveled Gideon.

He was shocked at the address picked for the meeting. Who schedules a meeting for barely four people in the largest auditorium in New York city. Whoever, the brand owner of LIA’S was, Gideon was certain the person had class.

“What else do we need? ” he said presenting the file to Judy.

She accepted the file and looked at Gideon. She had never seen him as tensed as this. He walked aimlessly around the office with his hands across his waist.

“Check thoroughly Judy. What else do we need? ” he asked Judy who wasn’t sure whether the documents they had piled up in the file were all they needed.

“According to the agent. ” began Judy while sorting the files one after the other.

“We are meeting with LIA’S for a dinner and business meeting. The agent told me he scheduled the meeting informing LIA’S that ROMERO’S needed to speak with them and so, we might set an agenda.” she explained.

“We can’t afford to loose this opportunity. We will go in there and confront the management of LIA’S over the recent pulling away of our partners. ” Gideon said.

“I can sense sabotage here and I won’t tolerate it. ” declared Gideon.

“I think we have the right documents. ” Judy said and began placing the documents back into the file.

“I believe we are ready sir. ” Judy told Gideon who nodded even though he wasn’t sure if he was actually ready or not.

When Judy informed him that LIA’S was inviting them for a dinner and business meeting after they requested for it, he became restless. He had always wanted to meet the owner of the brand and when Judy came with the news, he had mixed feelings. Deep within him, he knew he was a bit scared especially since the brand had been gradually taking over the city in a short while which made Gideon almost feel incapable.

Judy left Gideon’s office and came back almost immediately.

“The car is ready. ” she announced.

Gideon nodded and she went to carry her hand bag in her office. Gideon adjusted his neck tie, tightened the belt holding his trousers and brushed off his jacket. Judy was already seated in the back seat waiting for him. She was carrying the file.

He joined her in the car, seating next to the driver in the front seat and they sped off. It was three minutes to 7pm.

“Everything will be fine sir. ” Judy assured him

He grinned and nodded.

Judy and Gideon quickly got out of the car and hurried to the meeting venue. They entered the spacious auditorium and met a woman sitting backwards.

She was nodding with a phone placed on her left ear. Her long hair spread across her back and down to her waist.

Gideon and Judy were in the hall awaiting the woman to turn around after she must have finished answering her call.

Meanwhile, Gideon was astonished that the person who owns LIA’S is a woman. She had finished answering the call which Gideon and Judy detected after she lowered the phone down.

“Good evening. ” greeted Gideon.

She didn’t say anything but stayed that way for about some minutes making Gideon and Judy to wonder and glance at each other.

She then turned around and smiled. Gideon’s jaw immediately dropped and Judy dropped the file on the floor.

“Well, look who we have here” Emma said.
