Collins

53
5 years ago, while touring Europe alone , you met a stranger, and you two hit it off right away and spent 2 weeks together until you found a picture of his engagement to another woman. You felt betrayed and hurt , took the first flight back home, leaving the memories of him behind you. When at 30, most of your friends are married and have kids, you wonder if you will find someone to settle down with?
The takeover of the company went smoothly while you were away on a family emergency. Your position is still secure as head of marketing. You came back to a different atmosphere in the office. You know you need to introduce yourself to the new owner, Mr Frank Sanford. You attend your first meeting since you came back with others in the usual boardroom. You noticed a few people stood together at one corner. You took the seat the farthest. Then, others started to take a seat. When the man turned towards the room, you gasped. ..Collins. The same Collins whom you once knew in t- shirt and torn jean touring Europe with, yet here he is standing in front in business suit!
He took his hand out of his pocket and put it on the table, then scanned the room until his gaze met yours. His voice rings, " Thank you for attending the meeting today. For those I have not met in the last board meeting, I am Collins Sanford. I am given the task to lead this company to success by my father ,Frank Sanford. " The rest of 1 hour was the most uncomfortable meeting you ever attended. Although, you tried not to look at him, but when you do, his eyes meet yours. When the meeting was over, you stood up to go, but you heard him saying, " Can the marketing department drop by later at my office?" You turned and looked at him and said," Yes, Mr Sanford, " Later in the afternoon, you stood nervously outside the office marked " Mr. Sandford. CEO". Your hand fiddles with the marketing file you had compiled meticulously. " Come in," a voice from inside says after you knocked. You entered the room.
