"Ahhh...It's morning again and I don't want to go to office". Anna got up from her bed with messy hair struggling to stand still. Before she could realize where she is heading to, heard a loud voice coming from the kitchen. "Anna Xi, you better be ready before I step in your room". These words were from her best friend and roommate Susan, who have lived with her from five years after their graduation.
Susan and Anna met each other five years ago in a blood donation camp and have lived together since. Anna takes her as elder sister. Susan is the only family she has after losing her parents in an accident.
Anna realized that she is late again and rushed to the bathroom. With no surprise, Susan was standing in the middle of the room holding a pair of office dress and matching accessories for her. Anna took the things from her and gave a thankful kiss to her bestie.
"You better have your breakfast before leaving". Susan screamed again.
I am running late today, can I please miss the breakfast. Anna replied in low voice.
Don't worry, I will leave you to the office. But promise me you will get up early from tomorrow. Listening to this Anna nodded making sure not to make Susan angry again. There was a laugh coming on Anna face after thinking that it's weekend tomorrow but held it back to avoid conflict with Susan.
"How much time is left"? Susan asked Anna while starting the car.
I am never gonna be late until you are next to me darling. Anna replied while putting her seat belt.
"Anna you can't get late today as we need to go shopping for my birthday." Susan reminded Anna while she gets out of her car.
Anna hurriedly walks inside the large building. She was searching for her ID card inside her purse and walking without watching her steps.
"Anna you again left your ID in the car." Susan screamed running towards Anna and holds her before she could bang the wall.
"You are my life saver." Anna hugged Susan and walks inside the lift.
Anna walks on the floor and settles on her seat. Was still trying to catch a breathe when heard a knock on her desk.
"Good Morning Director", Anna stood up hurriedly and bowed to the Director of the company Mr. Xi Chen.
"Anna meet me in my cabin, I have to discuss something very urgent with you". She walks behind Mr. Xi till the cabin and close the door.
Anna make herself comfortable on the seat and raises her head to see what Mr. Xi have to say.
Her heart was beating fast. So many thoughts were running on her mind. Was the last assignment not completed properly? Mrs. Xi was not satisfied with the parlour I booked yesterday? Has someone in my team missed the timeline?
"Oh no"...Anna shouted loudly in front of Director.
"Are you ok Anna" Director asked. I have called you here to tell you that you have to travel to Japan for the new assignment. We need one of our best resource to handle it and no one is as capable as you.
Anna gets shocked with Director's words. This was the first time she could crack on overseas contract. She couldn't believe that after so much of hard work she is getting paid finally.
"Thank you so much Sir. I will not let you down." Anna replied exciting.
Director handed over a file to Anna while speaking to her "He is the person you need to work with. Make sure you don't make him angry. He maintains a very low profile and is very strict"
Anna nodded her head while going through the file. Mr. Xian Xu, CEO of Xian Group company. Educated from Oxford University. Youngest CEO award winner.
