CHAPTER 11
ASHER P. O. V
"when did l ask you to accept their request?"I said sternly to Felix
"But sir, you said to do whatever I want yesterday" he replied
"And why would I say..... Then it clicked, l was so carried away by the little scene cause by that crazy woman, l didn't pay attention
"Fine, let's get this done and over with" I said walking to the car besides l wouldn't say l'm not curious to meet the so-called mysterious CEO of Apex robotics corporation a very successful company established three years ago and yet has even exceeded most companies of ten years which specialises in designing and creating the most special inventions ever but the CEO has always keep their identities a secret but not today it seems.
'Disrespect, how dare they make me wait' we arrived at the company thirty minutes ago but the so-called CEO made me wait, l was about to signal Felix when I heard the soft clicking of heels and the next minute the door burst open to reveal a tall, beautiful woman,her long beautiful hair was tied up in a ponytail but a few strands were on her face,she wore a sleeveless white top coupled with a light brown trousers showing her lovely figure and those eyes... The most beautiful unique eyes l have ever seen before there was something about them that makes them special but I couldn't put my finger around it. Then reality hit me.... What was she doing here?Wait was she the CEO? I couldn't believe it to say l was shock was an understatement
"Thank you Mr Slade for taking your time today to arrange a meeting with us" she said
I could only nod in return
"Let's begin" she said once more after taking her seat
Then a woman stepped which l'm guessing is her assistant took over with the explanation
"First and foremost, I would like hear about the progress of your company."
"Of course, thank you for your interest. We've made significant strides in the past quarter, with revenue growth and new product development
"Our sales team has been doing an excellent job, and our marketing strategy has been effective in reaching new customers. Additionally, our new product features have resonated well with our target market."the assistant informed
"I see. And what are your plans for scaling the business in the next year?" Felix asked
"We're looking to expand our sales team, invest in more robust marketing initiatives, and continue to innovate our product offerings to stay ahead of the competition." This time it was the Alexia who answered
"I'm impressed with your vision. What are the biggest challenges you're facing, and how do you plan to address them?"
"We're facing some stiff competition, but we believe our unique value proposition and commitment to customer satisfaction will set us apart. We're also investing in talent acquisition and development to ensure we have the right team in place to drive growth." She said
"Well, I'm pleased with what I've heard so far. What kind of return on investment are you expecting in the next year?"
"We're projecting a significant return on investment, and we believe our growth potential is substantial. We're confident that with the right support and partnership, we can achieve our goals and deliver value to our investors."
"And what will be our cut"I said
"Well considering how Nexus Investments is funding is 30% in our company's project, l believe with can reach a suitable amount" she said
"I'm listening"
"If this project indeed hits the jackpot then l'm thinking 40% is enough" she said
I scoffed" do you take me for a fool, once this project hits it is much more than that, 60% is good enough"
"Mr Slade thinks too highly of himself if he thinks we would ever succumb to such outrageous amount, 45% I can offer" she countered
" 55% then"
"45%"
" 55% " I repeated
"50% Mr Slade leave or take" she said
*Meanwhile the meeting room was silent as the two continue to bicker on, no one dared intervene as these two were both powerful figures in the city but it was a rare sight to see Mr Slade talk much less bickering with someone*
"Last l checked, you aren't in a position to refuse my offer" I smirked
"Then I think you should start double checking your homework then because you are terribly mistaken Mr Slade if you think l will run after you" she said
' interesting, she is truly stubborn' I thought " Fine"I waved my hand at Felix and the remaining necessary stuff was taking care of.
I was walking out of the company when I happened to pass by her in a room lamenting obviously furious at something, l couldn't help but smirk at the things she was saying.
