THE PASSION OF THE CEO
CHAPTER 4. DEANDRA PRESENTATION
It's been almost two weeks Deandra's been working. Her best friend Rosa visited her on Saturday and stayed there. Since they started working, they rarely met because of their respective activities, but almost every day they talk on the phone and chat with each other.
Today, Friday morning. Deandra arrived at the office early because she had to get ready for the presentation. Today's appearance is different, more professional because it will be dealing with potential new investors. He should be able to attract the interest of investors with an interesting presentation, interesting appearance of course.
She wore a white silk shirt paired with a blazer and a short, light gray skirt showing her smooth legs. Wearing natural color makeup, lips polished natural color, blush on pink makes her smooth face look more charming, her hair left unraveled and curly at the bottom of the hair. Today's different look is like a professional. During the week he prepared himself, learned the presentation and memorized the details of the product to be presented.
Ceyhan Group plans to build the latest modern design apartment, with the concept of sky garden and sky pool. Using a high tech security system for the comfort of residents not to mention the special underway (underground road) access that is intended only for apartment residents, facilitating freeway access. Also various other modern facilities that have not been able to be rivaled by other companies.
Deandra, who likes to paint, had an idea to create his own sky garden design for each apartment unit. He wants to show his ability. All the presentation equipment is ready. Entering the office building, his heart was a little anxious because this was his first time attending a presentation. Although he had worked part-time as a marketing, but he did not want to disappoint, especially this time the investor faced.
According to Mr. Arion's direction, the girl went straight to a special meeting room that had been prepared for the presentation at 9 am. It is seen that Mr. Arion and his assistants and secretaries also have marketing managers and some guests from other companies already present there.
“Good morning, .”
“What are you nervous about?” arion asked Deandra whose face looked a little pale.
“Iya, sir.” Deandra squeezed the end of her shirt. Take a deep breath, read the prayer so that everything goes lancaar.
At exactly nine o'clock, the room was already filled with invited guests. There are some foreign investors who are interested in working together. Verrel and Frans, who were in a special room at the back, were glazed. He always sat in the room every time there was a meeting with investors, making it easier for him to monitor the situation.
The meeting was opened by Arion's assistant by introducing the guests present. He also gave a brief description of the Ceyhan Group. After the opening is complete, followed by the presentation, Arion starts the initial presentation, explaining the outline of the latest products and projects, and then the final presentation,
Now it's Deandra's turn to continue the presentation, explaining all the details. The success of today's meeting is in his hands. ‘Mampus me if I fail’ Circulate the surrounding view while throwing a smile to eliminate awkwardness, he also started the presentation, starting by introducing himself using English.
Although all the foreign guests present were already using earphones to translate, Deandra wanted to look stunning with her foreign language skills.
“Good morning, Ladies and Gentleman. Welcome to the Ceyhan Corporation. First, let me introduce myself. I am Deandra Ailsie from Ceyhan Group. Let me start by giving you some background information. As you’re aware of our concept for the new project..bla...bla...bla........” all sentences come out smoothly from his mouth. Not one bit he looks awkward. Deandra continued his presentation clearly and clearly. Seen the faces of everyone present sparkled to see his skill talking especially the sweet smile on his face.
Something different about the presentation this time. Deandra who is good at painting, did not waste the opportunity this time. He painted the design of the Eco Friendly Sky Garden. Beyond the expectations of everyone present. Seen one by one picture of Eco Friendly luxury apartment project design appears on the projector screen. Verrel and Frans, surprised to see the painting Deandra that looks alive, painting garden design on the clouds is very beautiful like a masterpiece. When the presentation was over, everyone in the room was talking about the presentation. MARVELED! Extraordinary that is the impression of the investors present.
“She is awesome. Very interesting!” there were whispers from foreign guests who were amazed by his presentation. Almost an hour into his presentation, followed by questions and answers from several investors. Deandra is an expert in speech, a sweet smile never leaves her face. He understands very well that's his “key point” to attract attention.
...*******...
In the glass room, Verrel listened to Deandra from the beginning of the presentation to the end. He suddenly felt a strange vibration all over his body when he heard the girl's voice. Due to the considerable distance, she could not see clearly Deandra's face, yet she could see the shape of the girl's body. His heart rate is getting tighter, he's agitated. Frans glanced at Verrel, frowning at the change in the look of his boss's face. ‘Is he interested in the girl? Why was he agitated and his hands clenched? Frans' mind was spinning around guessing.
*visual Deandra Ailsie...how do you think?
‘Why does the girl's voice make my body react like this? Deandra's voice is still heard giving a presentation. Verrel's getting agitated like a sickle. Cold sweat washed his face. Take out a handkerchief and wipe his face, even though the ac room feels cold.
“Frans!”
“Ya, sir.” replied
“Who is the girl?”
“Looks like a new employee at the branch office.”Frans turned his gaze forward, at the same time Deandra was looking towards Frans and Verrel. Since Verrel's hand was propping up his chin, the girl could not see clearly his face.
“Presentation is very good, mr.”Frans praised Deandra. Verrel stared intently at Frans “Don't Praise! How dare he paint sky garden designs!” looking at Frans. “Awas only if until all is chaotic, I make sure the girl will feel the consequences!” Feeling annoyed, he said Deandra had been very brave to show his sky garden design painting.
‘Who does he think he is? Dare to paint! If those investors run, I'll punish him! His breathing was hunting, his eagle eyes were staring intently. She doesn't want the girl to ruin her new project.
Both of them looked forward, saw the guests shaking hands with Deandra, heard a sentence of praise from them. There were some who were staring at the girl with wild gazes. The girl looks very pretty and professional today. Everyone must have been fascinated by his appearance today.
“Bring the girl here! Tell investors, I'll see them in a minute.”.
...********...
Knock on the glass door. “Log.” A girl walked in and closed the door. Verrel moved his hand as a gesture to Frans. Frans went out of the room leaving the two men there.
Looking at the man's face in front of him was red with anger. Deandra lowered her head not daring to look. He doesn't know who Verrel is. Deandra stood right in front of Verrel who was sitting while leaning back in the chair, looking at the girl as sharp as if to tear her apart. No one has been as brave as Deandra all this time, doing something very risky. He has not worked for a long time at the company. Deandra's not her name, if she doesn't dare to take risks, as long as she's sure of what she's doing.
“Stupid! How dare you show me your painting!”…..Deandra's body trembled hearing Verrel's voice rising and very cold. “Who gave you permission? Very loud you!” snapped it. “You know, who's there?”.
Deandra was transfixed, her body trembling not daring to answer. Instantly the courage and high self-confidence, disappeared. He doesn't know who the man in front of him is. But he believes whoever this guy is must be he's a very influential person in the Ceyhan Group. ‘Yes, God please save me’ pray calm down.
“Why silence? Are you mute?” verrel's breath roaring. He doesn't like the girl's silence.
“Ma..sorry sir. Not mean sa.” Deandra hasn't finished talking, Verrel's phone is ringing. Listen to what people are saying across the phone. Verrel nodded his head. “Good. I'll meet them.”
“This time you're lucky. If next time you mess up, I'll make sure you'll regret.” stepping out of the room, while right next to Deandra, I'm sure you'll regret it., she accidentally smelled the scent of the girl's body just a few inches away. Deandra still lowered her head not daring to move from her position. Verrel closed his eyes, inhaling the perfume Deandra was wearing. ‘Hmm...’ Wake up and open his eyes and go out to meet the investors.
Frans, who contacted Verrel, said investors were interested in working together and were ready to sign the contract. Investors are vying to take part in Ceyhan Group's new project. Deandra's presentation was successful! Verrel spoke to investors and shook hands. They will sign a contract of cooperation in the near future.
Verrel did not expect, the act of the girl was able to attract investors. Total investment is huge. Deandra came out of the special room, looking to get out of the meeting room before the steps stopped hearing her name called. Arion smiles at her sticking out a hand that is greeted by Deandra “Happy Deandra. You succeeded.”
“Thank you sir. Without the guidance of the father, I will not be able to achieve all this.” replied Deandra low. “What happened? Why did Verrel call you?” ask Arion astonished.
“Nothing, sir. All is fine.”
“Really? I am worried that something bad happened.” said Arion. He was worried when he found out Verrel wanted the girl to see him. He was afraid something bad was happening. He heaved a sigh of relief, what he feared did not happen.
“Verrel is the CEO of this company,” explains Arion.
“What? So he's the owner of the company?” Deandra was startled, so the man who snapped at her earlier was the CEO? The owner of the company? I'm sure he's an influential person, otherwise—he wouldn't have snapped at me like before’ thought Deandra.
“Sorry, sir. I don't know,”
“It's okay. You're new and it's the first time you've met him.” “He just returned from a business trip abroad, I have also not told him that you will be presenting today.” Arion.
“But really nothing happened? Your face looks pale after meeting Verrel,” Arion is still curious, wanting to know what Verrel said to the girl. His face looked pale as he walked out of the special room earlier.
“His face is handsome sir, but fierce like a tiger,” joked Deandra.
“Ha..ha...ha. Could have been you. He was indeed fierce” Arion laughed out loud.
“CEO fierce, definitely not married,”guessing.
“Where do you know she's not married?”
“If you're married it won't be terrible like that. Haven't found the handler yet, sir?” Deandra smiled as she glanced to make sure no one else heard her words.
“Ha.ha..ha...ha” Arion laughs as loud as possible, only this time there is a girl who dares to call Verrel. “Maybe you're the handler.”greets Deandra but it looks like the girl didn't hear what she said.
A man who heard Arion's laughter, glanced at it while frowning ‘What made Arion laugh so loosely? Basic girl teaser’ saw Deandra who was laughing. The man stared intently at Deandra. It was late in the afternoon, everyone was back at their own pace.
At least now Deandra can breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't mess up and managed to prove himself to everyone. The trust that Arion had placed in Deandra was well used. While Verrel heard a lot of praise about the girl who gave the presentation today.
I don't think that day went well. During the night while lying in bed, Deandra contacted Rosa and told her everything that had happened. The two exchanged stories, occasionally laughing. The day was getting late, Deandra laid her body on the bed. Because tired anywhere immediately fall asleep carried into the dream.
