5 04 France

Both secretaries sayed quiet but their hands were moving, taking notes of everything said between the two CEOs "Oh if you don't mind I took the initiative to order some starters" Emmanuel said and Azriel nodded. Their conversation continued on, only stopping when a server appeared with their food.

The meeting lasted for about 3 hours, at the end the two CEO's shook hands and went home with a partnership deal. Azriel and Nesryn boarded the black BMW car and went to their next location. His last appointment for the day is a dinner meeting with Angelo and Malrick, the president and vice-president of a car manufacturing company under Azriel's rule.

After six months of research and tons of trial and error they finally came up with a brand-new car to be released to the public. There were no pleasantries said between the four and the meeting immediately started. Nesryn sat beside Azriel, taking down notes and focusing on the meeting. Azriel would sometimes ask for her opinion, despite being a secretary Nesryn proved herself skilled when talking about business.

She was able to adapt quickly, learning after her boss and those around her, resulting in her becoming one of the best negotiators in the company only coming second after her very own boss. Nesryn earned everybody's respect in the company, at first they all thought that she's the same as their CEO's past secretaries but she proved herself worthy of standing beside Azriel.

"2 million" Azriel voice out "I am sorry but that's too expensive" Malrick said, Azriel eyebrows furrowed "1.4 million" Angelo suggested, Nesryn tried her best not to roll her eyes at the three men, she was reading through the documents of the new car and have already estimated how much they need to take back the amount they spent on the production and how much they need to add on it to gain profit.

Nesryn noticed Azriel became restless, a habit of his whenever he doesn't get what he wanted. She faked a cough and Azriel looked at her, she widened her eyes at him and he immediately calmed down. "What do you think, Nesryn?" Azriel asked, turning his body to her direction, using his hand as he leaned on the table.

Angelo and Malrick focused their attention towards her, she cleared her throat "Well according to what was written in the report, the company spent a total of 1.4 million dollars in the production and with how different this is compared to the previous launch, I say we can price at around 1.7 million dollars. With how much people there are waiting for the car to be released, I think we'll be able to earn more than how much we spent" Nesryn told whatever it was in her mind.

Azriel nodded his head as he took the folder when Nesryn returned it back to him. They paused the meeting when the food arrived. Once it was served the four became talkative, like how friends would when out for dinner. The dinner meeting ended at around 9 pm with the car's final price of 1.7 million dollars. Nesryn paid for their bill using the company card and called the driver over to pick them up.

The two boarded the car "Drive to her apartment first" Azriel ordered and they drove off, 30 minutes later, they finally stopped at her apartment, she thanked the driver and Azriel then went out. "Nes!" Azriel called out from the rolled window, she turned around and walked back to the car to face her boss "I'll be sleeping at the penthouse" she nodded and turned around.

"Ummm..goodnight" Azriel said before telling the driver to go. Nesryn turned around and stood there, frozen in place. She watched as the car got smaller as the distance got farther away. She shook herself and went into her apartment. She took a shower, brushed her teeth, then she massaged her feet for a little while in bed, not noticing when she fell asleep.

A week after the agreement in terms of the price, the car was finally released in the market. Nesryn knew that it would sell but not it being sold out on the first day it was released. All 50 cars that they made for the first batch were all sold out, in every car shop Angelo and Malrick owned the company's latest model were all sold out.

Azriel and Nesryn are currently in France, in the middle of a conference. Nesryn on Azriel's sde all the time. The conference lasted till lunch, the two left the conference hall "Your afternoon schedule is all cleared, do you want to go somewhere sir?" Nesryn asked when they returned to their hotel. Walking inside the presidential suite that they rented for the whole week they spent in France. "Let's explore France" Azriel suggested

"Please go ahead but please bring your guards with you this time"

"No! Come with me"

"I still have plenty of things to do for tomorrow"

"It'll be fine come on"

"Go ahead and have fun sir"

"Come on Nes, go out with me" Azriel whined like a child and kept tugging on her sleeves. Nesryn sighed but didn't bend down on his whims, she softly pried his hands off and went to her room. Azriel followed her, not wanting to go out alone. "Come on Nes" he continued to whine. "Boss, no offense but you can go out and have women with you" she retorted.

Azriel had a girl over during their first day in France but was immediately given a break up necklace the next day and so far he hasn't hooked up with another girl, but he kept pestering Nesryn to go out whenever he had the chance.

"It will be fun, come on, let's go~" he continued to whine, Nesryn sat down on her bed "Please sir, I am tired and still have work to do, you can go out if you please" Azriel mumbled something under his breath and left the room, shutting the door after him. Nesryn stood up, locked her door and stripped, hopping in the bathroom for a nice relaxing hot shower.

After dressing herself in comfortable clothes and putting her hair in a messy bun. She started working, organizing Azriel's schedule for the next week, typing down the minutes of the meeting and reading over some documents. She was already an hour in when a knock disrupted the peaceful silence.

She stood up, unlocked her door and opened it, revealing Azriel wearing a frilly pastel pink apron holding a tray with a bowl of soup. Nesryn raised an eyebrow "You said you're tired so I ordered energizer soup" he flashed an innocent smile, as she stared at him weirdly "What?" he asked but Nesryn just shook her head.

"May I come in then?" she widened the space as Azriel came in, he placed the tray on the desk. "I thought you were tired, why are you still working then?"

"I need to arrange your schedule for next week, finish the minutes and read over some files for you to sign"

"Nevermind that for now, you need to energize yourself so you can function perfectly, like always"

"I am fine thank you sir"

"Enough with the 'sir' how many times do I have to tell you that whenever we're alone you're free to call me Azriel"

"It's unprofessional, you are still my boss sir"

"Nonsense, you've been with me for 3 years now, we're friends!"

"We don't have anything outside work relationship Mr. Azriel"

"You mean you don't accept me being your friend? After all this time that I trusted your words when I asked your opinion you don't trust me outside work?"

"It's not that I don't trust you but I respect my work and everything you've done for me and my family, I just don't want you reputation to be dragged down to mud"

"I don't care about that! Ugh I don't want to fight, just eat the soup" Azriel dragged her to the table and forced her to sit down. Nesryn, deciding that fighting her boss is futile, picked up the spoon and started eating. She watched Azriel look through the documents on the other side of the desk while she eats.

"Have you picked a date for tomorrow's party?" Nesryn asked after swallowing a mouthful of soup. Azriel shook his head "Contact a famous model and have her attend the party as my partner" Nesryn nodded her head, she stood up, whilst pulling out her phone. Azriel bonked her in the head playfully, not too hard to cause her pain. "I meant after eating dimwit" she sat back down again, he took her phone and gestured for her to continue eating.
