MEETING FOR THE FIRST TIME

[June 25 2007]

It was early morning when Ryan opened his eyes at the sound of the alarm.

Ryan was a morning person so getting up early wasn't a problem for him

Taking a light breathe he stood up from bed and headed toward the bathroom while contemplating about yesterdays game.

While brushing his teeth he switched on his phone.The phone battery had died while he went for the game and by the time he got back home he was too tired to turn it on. when he switched on his phone a string of notification flashed in front of his eyes

[17 missed calls ]

[3 messages ]

"...."

Ryan put down his phone and rinsed his mouth

He then looked at his phone. there were 9 missed calls from principal smith and 8 from an unknown number .

Ryan dialed principal smith and after few ring the call was connected

-Hello, Ryan is that you

"Good morning mrs smith, yeah its me .how may i help you"

-Good morning to you as well Ryan,could you arrive at the my office right now, there's a guest looking for you here . He said he'd been calling you on your phone but you weren't picking up your phone

"Ah ya my phone battery died so i left it at the house ,who might be wanting for me mrs smith"

-oh why spoil the fun come here and see it for yourself

Ryan heard a slight chuckle from the phone

Ryan got confused by such answer.

'who might the guest waiting for me '

she looked at the gentlemen in front and asked

"mr bryan would like some tea "

"I would love some"

"how much sugar would you like"

"Two teaspoon please"The person in front of her replied.

"I've already called Ryan by the way,he should be here at any moment"

" Well I'll have to thank you then Mrs Smith also I am sorry for troubling you for me".

"you've done a great deal for this school by supporting our programme to educate students who couldn't afford for their education so this is the least I could do for you" " Also it wasn't any trouble at all,just a simple phone call"Martha smiled while replying.

"Mrs Smith you are the first person smiling when someone came to poach their employee I guess " Oliver jokeed

As they were carrying out their conversation there was a Knock in the door.

"Ah,I think Ryan has arrived Mr Brian"

**"

Shortly after Principal Smith's call , Ryan arrived at the school and headed for the principal's office.

After arriving at the door he slowly knocked at the door and slowly opened the door .

"oh Ryan you've arrived come in have a seat "

After hearing the principal's approval to enter Oliver slowly made his way inside the office . while on his way in he noticed a person Seating

on the chair by the table.

The person seemed to be drinking tea while carrying on conversation with principal Smith . When the seated person noticed Ryan enter he immediately put down the tea he was drinking , stood up and moved towards him.

"Hello you must be Mr Ryan cross, I'm oliver bryan "

Oliver watched the face of the person who was in front of him closely and couldn't be more shocked.

"Mr cross is there something on my face "

" oh no,no there's nothing "seeing what he was doing Ryan was quite embarrassed and he quickly replied

"ah.... where are my manners,its ni..nice to meet you . I'm Ryan cross you can just call me Ryan "

Ryan at the moment just couldn't believe seeing Oliver Bryan in flesh in very front of him .He was in utter shock at this moment ,well how wouldn't he standing in front of him was oliver Bryan who was a role model and idol for Ryan someone who only got to see in tv . Oliver was a very respected businessman in England he has been providing free education to many orphans and has been involving himself in various social activities tragetting for the betterment of the community. Oliver's hard work and story of his success is a lesson ment to be learnet by all.

Oliver Bryan was a orphan,he lost his father and mother at the age of just 9,where he had to look after himself as well as his little sister. Through sheer hard work and talent ,Oliver at this time was now a very successful businessman .

He started his own investment company at just age 19 while still in freshman year and by the age of 27 became one of worlds youngest self made billionaire .Currently his company LIF ,valued around 14.5 billion pound is one of England's biggest investment firm of which Oliver's estimated stake is 68% making him one of the richest person in England.

While still being a billionaire, Oliver was well respected in England for his involvement in his various activities centered Around providing free education to orphans and also creating several orphanage to provide for the food clothe and shelter for them

Ryan's brain was currently buzzing with question ,why would a person of stature such as Oliver Bryan want to meet with him a normal teacher .

oliver seeing Ryan's confused expression chuckled inwardly.He then provide to make small talks with Ryan to ease his nervousness

"Ryan it is then . I also hope you also call me just oliver ." " Anyways its really nice to meet you I'm a fan by the way"

Ryan was getting confused by the moment.A fan? He cant think anything he did earning him one of England's most famous person as his fan .

"I'm sorry ,but you must have mistaken me from someone as i don't remember doing anything that would garner me fans "

"You currently coach and manage the amature team in raven field right? i have seen some of their games while passing through the area. The way you manage your teams, from how you deployed proper personnel to proper position to the tactics you used against your opponent ,I was simply amazed. I also saw how the passion and love you hold for the game.Honestly I was quite surprised seeing a person with talent such as yourself in the amature league."

like that oliver explained one could see from his words how high he regarded Ryan's talent in football management as .

Hearing Oliver's word surprised Ryan a lot who would have thought oliver brian has been watching his amature team play .

"Thank you I guess" it was all Ryan could reply with

"Well actually you see i am looking to invest in a football team and i want a person such as yourself with a creative and tactical mind , who gives all for the team to manage my team .I have seen how much hard-work you put in in for your team and how committed you are for the game .so i want to offer this job for you . Through some of your players I also got to know you already have license for managing a professional side so there won't be any problem there as well."

"So what's your answer Ryan."

Ryan was barely controlling his emotion at the moment. Looking at olivers serious face he knew oliver ment all the words he said . Ryan never imagined that his luck would be running so sky high .at this point he wasn't sure whether this was happening in reality or whether he was dreaming

"i i will accept your offer" Ryan said barely controlling his excitement.

"welcome abort then Ryan " oliver said extending his hand.

"Don't worry Mr Bryan I would do my absolute best "Oliver said shaking Oliver's hand.
