Rech

Leila blinks her eyes open as she rubs her forehead that seems like a mallet was being hit on it. She turns to her side, still rubbing her head.

"That was a new one" she mutters to herself as she shuts her eyes tight trying to feel less pain, 

Leila hates painkillers or any type of drug at all. She always complains about how bitter it is, even when tasteless ones are given to her.

She sits up, combing her hair back with her fingers then blinking her eyes open. "It's there a problem?" she stated, 

Minute passes but she gets no reply. With that, she sighs then gets on her feet out of the bed. She takes a step forward and remembers the first activity she has for today. Leila shuts her eyes and massages the space between her nose and her forehead.

She looks behind, rolls her eyes, then walks into the bathroom to prepare for the day. Leila has an important meeting that is scheduled for 10 am, and it's already past 8 am.

The week was slowly creeping to an end, as it is already a Thursday. She steps out of the bathroom, putting on a blue fitted suit. On her feet are black heels.

Her brown hair has been poured down with a wave covering the side of her forehead. She walks to the dressing table and stares at herself for a few minutes then turns to the clock sitting on the dressing table. It reads, 8:50 am, 

She picks up her brush to apply a little makeup on her face as she rarely needs one. By 9 am, she is done with her makeup as she applies lip gloss to highlight the light pink lipstick she applied earlier on.

She picks up her bag and other gadgets, then walks out of the room. Leila walks to the dining table and takes a seat. Kane walks past her giving her a slight bow and greets, "Good morning, miss"

Leila nods. Kane takes a step to leave when she calls him, "Kane"

He turns to her, "Yes, miss"

Leila picks up a teacup and pours a steaming hot tea from a jug into it. She picks a piece of sliced, toasted bread from the five placed on a plate. She takes a bite then sips her tea.

Once the last piece of the bread runs down her throat, she stirs her tea for some seconds, then sips it before speaking. "You are fired"

Kane blinks his eyes a couple of times shocked. Did he hear wrong? "Miss, you-"

He is about to ask if what he heard was right when Leila speaks again, confirming he heard right. "I don't want to see you in or around this house again"

She sips the last of her tea and walks out of the house, leaving Kane pondering his next move. Leila gets into one of her jeeps and drives off while Kane dials Eleanor.

After a thirty-minute drive, Leila drives into the premises of Rech. The parking lot is filled with rich and exotic cars. She gets a spot and parks.

Another car takes the space beside her vehicle. A young man steps out of the back seat, while two men jump out from both the driver's and passenger's seats.

The young man is a known individual in City Zee, Brian Drak. He founded Shakers, a tech company. Another man steps out from the other back door holding a briefcase, Brian's personal assistant.

They walk into Rech and Leila steps down from her car. She opens up her back door when three more cars drive in, taking their desired parking spot.

The first car is a white BMW. The driver and passenger's seat fly open and two men step out. The driver opens the back door and a man steps out looking elegantly dressed in his black, fitted suit, Mr. Chase Bell and on the other side, the door is opened.

A beautifully dressed lady steps out in her blue gown holding a briefcase. Once out, she passes the briefcase to the guard that opened the door. She is Mrs. Sarah Bell, Mr. Chase's PA and wife of five years. They both run S&C Cooperation.

The second car is a black tesla. A young lady in her early twenties steps out with her male personal assistant that steps out from the passenger's side. They are Grace Treeps and John Collins.

Grace is the president of Treeps World Technologies, a newly registered tech company. They look nervous as, presumably, this is their first-ever tough meeting with high-class bosses and presidents running world-known companies and not any types of companies but tech-based companies.

Leila's lips curve up, remembering the first time she had her first meeting. She was like an anxious bomb but luckily, despite that, she took charge of the meeting room.

The last vehicle is a red Li Jeep. An invention from the bosom of LY Tech and hand-crafted by Leila herself. The man of the hour steps down from the car in his lavender-coloured suit with a black shirt. He adjusts his cufflinks and the back door on the other side opens up, a young man steps out of the car holding a briefcase staring at his boss looking anxious.

They are Morris Lane and Victor Lane.

Morris is the founder and president of Lane E Tech, while Victor, on the other hand, is a newly employed personal assistant to Morris and his nephew.

This is Victor's first meeting with Morris and knowing the type of people that would be seated in the conference room, he cannot help but feel anxious.

"Babe!" a high, shrieking voice calls out, 

Rachael runs out of the building towards Morris kissing him on the cheeks. They walk into the building while Leila stares at their backs.

She shakes her head as a realization dawns on her. Rachael and Morris are in a relationship and as such the meeting that was meant to be in Lane E Tech, is now being held for promotional purposes in Rech
