100 Days With Mr Romero

Emma fell on her bed and smiled immediately Sam left the room. She had just kissed Sam and she couldn’t explain how she was feeling at that moment. She shut her eyes and was soon fast asleep.

Before Sam ushered Emma into one of his guests rooms, he gave a book meant for amateurs in business. He hopped the piece will increase her passion and equip her with the necessary skills she needs to establish a business.

That morning when Emma woke up, she grabbed the book Sam had gifted her and began reading.

“I now see why Gideon keeps investing in bars. ” Emma muttered to herself.

Gideon! she said in her mind and immediately remembered him. She thought about New York. She knew she missed the place and needed to see her parents.

She will go there right after building her empire she thought and continued reading the book.

Sam woke up that morning and made his way to Emma’s room. He knocked on her door and she invited him in.

He pushed the door open and smiled at Emma who was reading the business book he gifted her earlier.

“Morning he greeted her. ” waving his left hand at her while his right hand was on the door knob.

“Morning. ” she replied bringing the book down to her chest.

“Why don’t you freshen up then join me downstairs for breakfast. ” he requested.

“Ok. ” she replied closing the book.

“We will start our practicals today. ” he said before shutting the boor. Emma kept the book on the table and headed to the bathroom.

“Bryan! ” Emma called out after walking to meet him in the kitchen.

“Morning Emma. ” he greeted her with a smile.

“Morning Bryan. ” she smiled back at him.

“Breakfast is served. ” Bryan announced to Emma pointing to the table. Sam was already seated there so she joined him.

Emma was wearing a beautiful silky gown and Sam was dressed in denim trousers and plain white tea shirt.

“So where are we heading to this morning? ” inquired Emma.

“Let’s have breakfast first. ” replied Sam while stirring his cup of tea which he just threw cubes of sugar into.

“I can’t wait. ” stated Emma. She was plastering her loaf with butter.

Sam nodded and sipped his tea.

“I have an emergency business meeting in five minutes. ” announced Sam immediately after picking his phone which just vibrated.

“Well, we can have our practical session and business lessons when you return. ” replied Emma.

“You’ll come with me. ” stated Sam.

“What? ” blurted Emma.

“You are coming with me and today’s meeting with determine whether you are fit to run a business or not. ” offered Sam while sipping his tea.

“I love challenges. ” declared Emma.

“We leave soonest. ” he told her and she nodded.

Emma hurriedly finished her breakfast and joined Sam inside his car.

“We will be meeting with some clients in one of my bars this morning. ” be began after starting the car.

“Ok. ” replied Emma.

“The clients want to partner with a rival brand in town. They are meeting at exactly 9:30am sharp. ” he said while adjusting the car gear.

Emma was listening attentively.

“It’s 10 am and do you know why we are going there earlier? ” he demanded.

Emma swung her head from left to right signaling no.

“We are going there to steal the show. ” professed Sam.

“You will walk in there and convince them in twenty minutes to abandon the rival brand and partner with us. ” he told Emma.

Emma knew it wasn’t an easy test but since she is determined on learning the ropes and proving to Sam her capabilities, she took the offer.

Sam drove them to the bar where the meeting was to take place. He parked the car.

“Remember. ” he cautioned her.

“You have twenty minutes to convince them before the people they came to meet with show up. ” he explained.

“I get it. ” affirmed Emma with a wink.

They stepped out of the car and made their way into the bar. Sam was walking behind Emma.

“Those are the guys. ” he said to her pointing to a table occupied by two men.

Sam sat on one of the vacant bar stools close by while Emma walked up to them.

“Gentlemen. ” Emma greeted them smiling brightly.

She pulled a chair from their center and sat.

“Hello. ” greeted one of the men.

“I’m Emma from SMITH’S. ” she began extending her hand for a handshake.

“SMITH’S? ” the other man said while shaking her.

“We are here to meet with GROVER and SON’S instead. ” the thinner man said.

“I know. ” confirmed Emma.

“Before they come in, why don’t I tell you about SMITH’S. ” volunteered Emma with a smile.

“Three cups of tequila please. ” she shouted to the hearing of the bar tender who quickly swung into action.

Sam was listening and watching from his spot.

“Do you know that children of all the business associates of SMITH’S are placed on a life insurance policy? ” she began.

The men stared at her in astonishment.

“At SMITH’S, we offer weekly delivery of wine to all our partners out of courtesy. ” she told the men while sipping her drink.

“Wow! ” marveled one of the men.

“Yes continued Emma. ”

“We also offer free annual courses to our staff so they improve on their units. We seek to promote expertise. ” she said then decided to get up.

“Am not preventing you from partnering with GROVER and sons but I believe everyone deserves the best services only which SMITH’S clubs and bars offers. They are known everywhere. They even offer local services in bush bars across local towns. ” she concluded.

“The drink is on me. ” she added and turned around to leave.

Sam stood up and began clapping while the men joined him in applauding Emma.

“That was beautiful coming from a new agent. ” commented the thin man.

Emma immediately realized the men were acting the whole period.

“She almost had me. I almost forgot I was acting according to the boss’s directives. ” the other man said pointing at Sam who bowed before Emma.

“Oh my God! ” she mumbled realizing Sam had tricked her. The guys were fake clients.

“They work for me. ” Sam told her with a smile.

“You did well Emma. Bravo. ” he lauded her.

She smiled and turned to the men saying “why don’t you guys give me more business lessons. “
