The moment I met you (Chapter 223)

  By Nightengale Ben-Onyeukwu 




 He took over as the CEO of Moon Corporation on the day Edward went on a business trip to China. Edward, the corporation chairman, decided to retire seeing that during his trip to China, Michael was able to make the stock rise to 25% in just a day. He knew that Michael would be capable to run the company and so felt happy handing him the company.                                                                                        

Turning to the branch director, Michael said, ‘Bring me the progress report first thing tomorrow morning.’Michael stood up.                              

The branch director replied, ‘Okay, Sir.’                                                 

With that Michael left the meeting room. As he walked down the stairs, he found out that it was still raining lightly. When he came to the roadside where he had parked his car, reaching for his car keys, he gracefully unlocked the car. And just as he was about getting inside the car, he paused, and then turned his head to the person standing not far away, at the other side of the road.                      

‘Sir Michael…’Robert called. It seemed he had been waiting for a long time; some part of his dress was already drenched despite the umbrella he was holding above his head to shield from the rain. ‘Sir Michael I brought umbrella for you,’he said taking large steps towards Michael. Looking up into his eyes, he asked with concern, ‘Sir Michael, how did the meeting go? Are we really going to relocate to a new place? Isn’t the Lagos State governor the one that has been benefiting from Moon Corporation? How dare he order Moon Corporation to relocate to a remote area?’                                                                                               

‘What are you doing here?’Michael asked instead.                         

‘To bring you this umbrella.’                                                                    

Michael glanced at the blue umbrella Robert had brought for him. ‘Did you come here to give me this or are you here to get one night stand?’
