~Ceo Empire Advertisers~
Ken and Blueeyes went along to the Empire Advertisers office complex which was a sky scraper. They were there to meet with the CEO and know how their days would run at the court of law since he had been hired to solicit for them.
The Empire Advertisers was an edifice to behold, an eye-catchy sky scraper that ran into the sky. It was believed to be a hundred –story sky scraper that could account for the net worth of the company. Nothing had been so beautiful; Blueyes and ken couldn’t stop admiring the glass-glistening tapering walls of the sky scraper that seemed to be more beautiful by the day.
Once they alighted form the lift and stepped to the receptionist, Ken couldn’t stop admiring the structures and ambience of Empire Advertisers, even in his career as a a renowned lawyer who has travelled round the world he had never set his eyes on such mind-blowing splendor.
“Good day, ma’am,” greeted Ken, smiling at the pale, blonde, pony tail-haired, tall lady who was the receptionist .
“Good day sir. You are welcome to the Empire Advertisers. How may I help you, sir?” the receptionist obliged and kept a huge contagious smile.
Blueeyes was busy staring around and having his mouth gaping at the luxurious facilities around him. This was another world to him. He had never seen such in his life, even as a child. He was only fortunate to see what he barely only saw on TVs. He never thought such structures existed in the real world.
“I am Barrister Ken from Loyal Firm and this is my son, Blueeyes. We are here to see the CEO of the Empires Advertisers,” he said calmly.
“Does she know you are visiting?” the receptionist asked .
“Um yeah, we are soliciting for the Empires in tomorrow’s court hearing. She is much aware,” he intoned confidently.
The receptionist clicked through the desk top to see they had an appointment. “Ok sir. Appointment is confirmed.” She slid out a paper and handed over to Ken.
“What am I to use this for?” Ken snapped, blinked anxiously and scowled at the receptionist.
“I am sorry sir you may have to fill the form before you can see the CEO. It is an established protocol, sir. This order is not put in place because of you. It has been in place since Empires topped the advertising industry and became world number one advertising firm. I am sorry for the inconvenience. You may have to fill the form.”
“What arrant nonsense! This is an insult to my person. Do you know who I am?” Ken snapped in fury, almost raising his voice.
The receptionist still kept at her smile, “I am sorry sir. But that is an established protocol if you must see the CEO.”
Writhing in pain and groaning ken filled the form and signed against it. He handed it over to the receptionist, “So can I see your almighty CEO now?” Ken inquired.
The receptionist shook her head, “No sir, I am afraid you may have to wait a little longer. Some clients came before you and some are still busy with the CEO in her office. You may have a seat, sir,” she pointed to an exquisite visitors’ chair at the corner. “Do make yourself comfortable.”
”You are welcome to the Empire Advertisers…” the receptionist ignored Ken and brought her gaze upon another client who just walked in.
Ken had never been so embarrassed. He wondered why he was ordered to fill a form before meeting with the CEO, an ordinary woman for that matter…
Holding Blueeyes by the arm Ken sat down on the seat and kept his eyes busy with the mouth-watering exquisite, state of the art decoration at the reception.
“Ok, sir,” the receptionist called on Ken’s attention, “You may go in now to meet with the CEO. Follow the lead of the security over there. You will soon be in the office of the CEO. Once again welcome to the Empires.”
Ken, Blueeyes and the security hopped into a lift and ascended to the floor of the office of the CEO.
The security opened the door for them and they entered into another world of exquisite , luxurious fittings and furniture. The polished wood and gold plated sofas and tables glistened into their eyes and opposite them was a perfect ocean view.
Jacy wasn’t seated when they got in. She was busy on a phone call in the other room of the office.
“Do make yourself comfortable. CEO will soon be with you, sir,” the security said, pointed to the sofa
Ken and Blueeyes sat down while the security went in to remind Jacy she had visitors.
“Oh dad I wish some day we would be this rich and comfortable,” Blueeyes said, glaring around and shaking his head.
Ken only snorted and grinned and wondered what kind of woman could achieve this entire feat. “Yes after I reunite with your mother we would work hard to be this rich,” he said.
Like a flash of light in darkness, Jacy stepped out in her expensive polka-dotted Italian tuxedo. On her breast pocket was affixed a badge which read
CEO EMPIRE ADVERTISERS PLC
Ken sprang to his feet. “Jacy!” he called in utter bewilderment.
“Mommy!” Blueeyes yelled also in utter shock.
“Ken!” she called softly and smiled confidently as a boss lady
Blueeyes quickly ran to her with wide spread arms and hugged her.
Ken was still staring agape. “Are you the CEO of the world famous Empire Advertisers?” Ken asked, searching for saliva to swallow down his throat.
Jacy shook her head, “As you can see. I am the sole proprietor and founder of the Empires Advertisers.”
Ken fidgeted as itches of surprise and shock ravaged his entire body. Tears trickled down his cheeks immediately, as he arranged his mind to win her back to his heart …
