He nodded immediately, and shut the door.
The door soon was opened, revealing a strange pair of shoes.
I didn't want to believe my eyes at first, but not until the hand came in view.
It was a light skinned individual.
Definitely not the same skin tone as Jonathan, and the sleeves of his shirt were not rolled up to the elbow.
My heart sank, and I hissed at the entrance of the man.
He has this smile at me, and bowed slightly in greeting.
“ Good morning Ma'am, I was referred to you by HR, and I was cleared to have an appointment with you by this time.”
I stared at him with hatred.
Not like I had known him from anywhere. Most likely the first time I am having an encounter with him, but he came in the worst possible time and manner.
I nodded my head slightly.
“ So what is it that you came for? I don't remember having anything doing with you today.
And did HR…”
I paused and hastily walked over to my desk.
And yeah he was right as hell.
I had booked him for the hour.
Absent mindedly, and he was not to be blamed.
I quickly ran through his cause, and looked up to him.
“ Justin Jabeur?”
I asked, and he nodded, “ yes ma”
I paused briefly, and stared at him.
I went through his credentials once more, and stared at his picture.
He had this resemblance with someone in my memory.
I just didn't clock who it was.
“ Jabeur?” he energetically answered, “ yes ma'am, at your service.”
I asked him, “ do you have any relatives in this city? Or in this company?”
He took a brief pause, and shook his head.
“ No ma'am” he chuckled.
“ That came as a surprise question. Guess my name triggered some memories.”
I smiled and shrugged.
“ Maybe. My brain is playing games with me at the moment, but I know your face looks familiar.
Very much familiar if you ask me actually”
He chuckled and replied, “ nah.. ma'am honestly none of my relatives work here, or are even in this city.”
I still didn't believe him.
But I couldn't do much other than to still stare at his picture as I tried to figure out whose face his reminded me of.
Soon I looked down from my mirror, and I caught a glance through the blinds of a parked SUV a few meters away from the building.
I could recognize it.
I immediately got up from my seat, and slowly walked towards the blind.
Battling with the tears threatening to fall from my eyes.
“ He cannot be leaving without paying me even a farewell visit.
It is not possible.
Jonathan you dare not.”
I murmured under my breath and as I rolled the blind up.
I stared at the vehicle for a moment, instantly forgetting about the gentleman in my office.
I nodded my head slowly, and just as I was about to get back to my seat, I saw his figure walking up to the vehicle.
He had a lot of men around him.
If not for the knowledge of who he was, I could have easily felt he got arrested or something.
Although he never really moved about with this much of security.
Tears now flowing freely out of my eyes as I stared at him.
He soon paused and turned.
He looked up to my window where I stood.
Instant joy came into my heart as we locked gaze.
He smiled initially, but acted indifferent immediately he looked around him once more.
He winked at me, while I nodded at him.
I waved, and he looked around carefully before stylishly waving back.
With that, he walked into the SUV, and he was driven off.
I stared till the vehicle was out of my sight.
I then sighed, and remembered I had a client waiting.
I turned to meet him staring at me smiling.
But he quickly went into character as soon as he saw me looking at him.
“ Hey man, what was that again?”
He was about to explain, and I waved him down.
“ Worry less, you can be on your way, I'm really sorry for taking your time.
You're sorted.
I will let HR know you are cleared.”
He instantly got on his feet, and pressing his palm together, “ I really appreciate Madame, and I pray that Allah be with you on all of your sojourns.
He will give you peace in your heart, as well as your desires.”
He bowed and left
I stood speechless as I watched him walk out.
I chuckled, and turned to my seat.
I immediately wrapped up with the task on the screen and dialed for Tyler.
“ Hey Tyler, hand in my schedule for the day.”
He delivered prompt, and I had a board meeting next up.
I tapped my mousepad aggressively.
“ Fucking board meeting.
Nothing serious to be discussed by the way.
Just a bunch of recaps, and programmed speeches.
But missing it meant serious indication.
I would wait.”
I already felt the need to help him.
It was now clear and evident that he was not in charge of these moves.
He was being coerced in a quite coordinated and planned manner.
If anyone could hold the family of Rocks by the balls, it should be a member, or a well informed enemy.
This was too accurate to be random.
I prepared for the meeting, and just a few minutes before the time, I got a message from Tyler.
“Treat as important”
I immediately reached for my glasses and went through the message.
“ There had been some irregularities in the build up to the boards minutes meeting, and as a result, the date scheduled for the meeting has been postponed to the 4th of June.”
I smiled at the notification.
“ Nah… this is a sign from heaven.
He sure does need help.
I'll take this as my sign.”
I hurriedly picked my bag, and called out.
“ Tyler!”
He did not hear me apparently.
“ No need actually, these could wait till later.”
I got up to leave.
“ Hey, I'll be closing for the day, I have things to take care of.”
He took a quick glance at the wall clock, smirked and nodded, “ allright ma'am, Noted.”
I also took a look at the time.
“ 11:42 ”
I sighed.
I surely would not turn back, I was the CEO after all.
“ Allright bye, talk to you later.”
He smiled and waved.
I hurriedly walked to the car.
And I took no time in zooming off.
I needed to begin my next step immediately.
Just as I drove past a hospital on the way home, I caught sight of the particular SUV he had been driven with parked by the side of the road.
I reversed, and backed just at the corner of the street.
I had the perfect view of the side of the car , Just adjacent.
