100 Days With Mr Romero

NEW YORK CITY:

Gideon sat in the conference hall alongside Judy. He was expecting Stephen Wales and his legal team. He had a deal to strike that morning. Judy had earlier drafted a document containing a proposal and the contract rights which was signed by Gideon. If the contract works, Wales will be supplying whiskey to Gideon’s bar and Wales whiskey will place Gideon’s business in a high place because the brand is popular and associated with the rich and classy in New York. Gideon was tensed and Judy could sense it. She knew how important the contract is to him and she prays it clicks so they’ll get to celebrate and she will love to see Gideon happy. She was tensed too. “Everything will be fine sir.” Judy assured Gideon who gave a dry smile. Shortly later, Gideon’s messenger hurriedly walked into the conference hall. “Stephen Wales and his team are here.” he announced. “Show them in. ” Gideon said and sat up properly clearing his throat loudly while rubbing his palms together. Stephen Wales walked in and saw Gideon and Judy standing out of courtesy. “Have a seat.” Gideon said pointing to a spot saved up for him. He smiled and his team sat close by.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Good Morning Gideon Romero. ” greeted Stephen. “Morning.” Gideon replied. “This is Judy my personal assistant.” he said pointing at Judy who bowed her head. Stephen nodded. Soon, Gideon’s messenger walked in with some soft refreshments and placed it in front of the guests. “Let’s get to business.” Mr. Wales declared. “Of course please. ” Gideon said knowing how Wales took business seriously. There is a narrative around that Stephen Wales doesn’t joke with business and a chunk of his conversations were said to be purely business. He is unmarried and people say he is single because he doesn’t know how to talk to women other than business and income. “I read your proposal. ” began Stephen. “If the terms spelt out are what it is then I will be glad to work with you.” He announced. Judy and Gideon instantly smiled. “However,” countered Mr. Wales. “You will decorate your clubs with no other brand of whiskey but mine.” Gideon smiled and said “Of course Stephen. There will be no rival brand of whiskey here as long as you will be our sole supplier.” “It is a deal then Mr. Romero. ” announced Stephen. “Wow. ” exclaimed Judy with a smile. Gideon immediately got up from his chair and shook Wales with a smile. “Gentlemen,” Judy said to the people Wales came with. “Have some drinks please” which they had and left the conference hall.

Immediately Stephen Wales and his team left the conference hall, Judy joyfully ran towards Gideon and they were caught up in an embrace. Judy immediately noticed their compromising position and she tried pulling away but the silver button of her top was hooked to Gideon’s neck chain. She tried pulling backwards and the button ripped open her top exposing a part of her bosom. Gideon immediately looked away. “Sorry. ” she mumbled and began freeing the button from Gideon’s neck chain. She then went back to the spot she was sitting earlier. “We finally got the deal sir. ” Judy said in an excited tune. “Yes we did Judy. I am so happy. ” he said smiling brightly. “congratulations sir. ” Judy said. “Congratulations to us Judy. I couldn’t have done it without you. ” attested Gideon. “You are a reliable personal assistant Judy.” he commented while Judy smiled. “You bring out the best in me sir.” Judy told Gideon. “We should celebrate. ” suggested Gideon. As if he read my mind Judy thought. “I need to meet with the power supply unit. ” said Gideon. “We will meet by 7pm to celebrate. ” he told Judy then walked out of the conference room. Judy giggled and fell back on her chair.

While Gideon was getting ready to go and pick Judy up from her place, he had mixed feelings. Was he doing the right thing? He thought. When his former personal assistant scheduled a meeting with a client he was dying to meet, he took him out and when Sandra his former secretary carried her duties excellently, he took her shopping which Emma was aware of. Therefore, he felt there was nothing wrong with taking Judy out for dinner even though they were both once accused of cheating. He had texted Judy an hour ago that he will show up in her place to pick her up and Judy was so excited and she was glad Gideon wasn’t there to see the excitement spread across her face. In her room, Judy kept throwing dresses and tops from her wardrobe to one angle of the room to another. She knew it wasn’t a date but she needed to look good too. After much consideration, she finally decided to wear a floral gown. She had been on Gideon’s right page lately and she wouldn’t ruin it. Now that Gideon assumed she was changed and there were no presumed feelings attached, she wouldn’t throw off the second chance he had just given her. She is determined to present herself before him as perfect as ever.

Gideon wore denim on denim. Those were the outfits he loved to wear before he and Emma got married. After their marriage, Emma would tell him that he was married now and needed to start looking like one. She will make him wear plain trousers, cotton shirts and suits more often. Whenever Gideon stood in the mirror after dressing, she will complement him telling him how handsome he was. He believed Emma knew best. After Ryan’s birth, she told him the outfit suit his daddy personality and Gideon gradually stopped wearing denim but that was then. He got into his favorite sport car and zoomed off to Judy’s place. When he got there, he horned and gave her a call. Few minutes later Judy walked down in her floral black gown with flat shoes on. She carried only her purse and her mobile phone. He opened the door for her and ushered her into the front seat. She smiled and sat. “Where to?” he asked her. “Anywhere.” she said. “No.” retorted Gideon. “You worked hard on this deal and now that it has clicked, I will want you to pick a place of your choice and there we shall dine tonight. ” Gideon stated while Judy blushed.
