Yes
Barbara?
Umm
Miss
Hull has asked that all appointments be cancelled this afternoon and would only be
available through her cell phone.
What?!! Did she forget we have the meeting with Mills
Textiles today?!
No
she didnt mention it. She seemed like
she was in a rush to get to where she was going. It
must be very important. She never does
anything remotely like this. Barbara and
Jordan worked very hard to ensure things ran smoothly. And usually everything did
primarily due to the fact that Victoria Hull ran a tight ship. She expected nothing less
of herself and accepted nothing less from her employees.
I
know. But lately she seems
. I dont
know
a lot happier. Until today, she seemed to be right on top of things. You should have seen her in
So
what are we going to do about Mills Textiles? Barbara
knew how important this deal was to
Ill
call Tori and find out what she wants to do. Im pretty sure I can handle it without her
being here. I have all the prelims on my desk
and I know what Toris going after. So
let me see what I can come up with before you cancel.
Okay.
Ill get hold of Miss Hull and patch her through when she calls back.
Sounds
good.
Tori
had been a few blocks away from campus and had asked Gibeau to drop her off at the English
Department when her cell phone rang.
Hello
..Victoria
Hull. Tori was in no mood. She
just wanted to get to Brett at the moment.
Tori, its
Look
Tori, I understand. But what about Mills
Textiles? Weve had this meeting
set up for a month. What do you want me to do
about them?
Oh
shit!!! Thats today?! Damn! Tori sat back in her seat in the limo and blew out a sigh. What to d? What to do? It was
Look
Tori
.if you dont mind, I can do the meeting. I mean
I know the points back and forth. What do you say?
Hmm
well
it could work to our advantage. Not that I doubt your abilities. I just think if Im not there, they might
think were losing interest in their business. That their offer
isnt good enough. Thats not a bad idea.
Let them squirm a little. Ian just left
for
You
got it boss!! By the way, is everything okay? Not that youre not allowed, but this
isnt like you?
Yeah,
Im fine. Couldnt be better actually. Its just theres a matter that needs my
attention today and Im afraid it just cant wait.
Im sorry to put you on the spot like this. Tori really meant it. She valued her employees almost as much as she
valued her friends and family.
Hey,
no problem. If I botch it up, I know you wont fire me. You
wont.. fire me
. right?
Tori
laughed hearing the uncertainty in her assistants voice. No I wont fire you. But thats all
Im going to promise at this point. Seriously though
I have every confidence in you. Go get em,
slugger!! Tori
tried to sooth
Okay,
but keep your cell phone on just in case.
Sure.
I wont even put it in my purse. Ill hook it to my waist. Tori reassured.
Gibeau
pulled the car to the entrance of the English department and turned to tell Tori they had arrived.
Okay,
well I hope you resolve whatever you need to this afternoon.
Ill call you once the meeting s over if not
sooner.
.bye.
