One last chance

   I sneakily entered the room,through the help of my best friend and gave her a slight wink.

    "where have you been" Amanda asked.

  "sorry for the delay it just that a car....."I explained but she cut me short.

 "I don't care about that Mr marlins is about to arrive you're lucky he's also a bit late"Amanda warned.

      I put on my best smile arranged my dress and waited for him to arrive.

  After about 2 minutes,the door bursts open.

   "What the....."I said.

 "This is Mr marlins the head of the marlin co-operation"his assistant spoke.

    For a moment we locked eyes but then I broke away,i was supposed to present a project to him and i was so rude before if I don't get this deal with rhe marlins co-operation I might as well say bye bye to my work.

    I took a couple of breathes then started, I had worked all night for this.



   I did not want to make eye contact with him.

 "Look for a place to stay,a place that feels like home, a place where you can enjoy the breeze then come to Orquise resort a place a resort that serves breakfast in bed"

  "A chance to explore the wonders of Treasure island,come to Orquise resort come home"saying that I ended the presentation and my co-workers gave me a round of applause.

     "I don't like it"Mr marlins said.

  The room fell silent.

  He then stood up and left.

  "come on"amanda said looking dissatisfied.

  "sir! sir! please wait" I rushed after him.

  "what"he asked in a cold tone.

 "sir please one last chance"i plead.

 "I remember it was you who I lack home training right?" he inched closer.

"how can you a presentation about home when you judge easily"he asked.

 "I.......I......I didn't mean it like that'" I stammered.

  "please just one more chance"

"fine next week same day same time don't be late"saying that he turned and left.

  "it's definitely karma"i said to myself.

I went back to the meeting room.

"What did he say"Amanda asked.

"he's giving us one chance to redo the project same day,same time" I answered.

"This is the last chance Charlotte if you don't get this project am sorry but I'll have to fire you"Said the manager.

"i won't dissapoint your sir"i said confidently.

"if you eventually fail I'll take your place"said Amanda with a smirk on her lips.

"I'll help"my bestfriend said.

"Thank you" I smiled and hugged her.

After working and preparing ideas for the project I went home tired and dejected.

"Thank you"i smiled and waved at the taxi man as he sped away.

I opened the door of our house but it was locked,I guess my parents were at shop so I decided to use the back door then I overheard some whispers.....

"please Madam Jen give us one last chance and we'll give you the money"My mom begged.

"This is the last time I'll give you one last chance by next week the monet should be ready or else I'll have no choice but to put your house for sale"she said and left.

My parents started crying.

I left there and went to a nearby restaurant to clear my head I really needed to cool off
