Zone in and Zone out

Jason arrive at his company earlier than usually and with a much happier face. He greet everyone with a big smile and went into the elevator. When he arrive on his floor he was greeted by his assistant.

"Good morning sir" Mr Kim said "you look rather cheerful this morning "

"Morning, am I not always cheerful Mr Kim" he said while smiling.

"Yes boss you are always happy" (but the fact that you made the effort to look that good this morning says a lot) he said to himself.

They entered his office and Jason took his seat and start working.

"Here are the papers you requested yesterday" Mr Kim said "You have a meeting at 1 pm with the marketing department and the Director of Blue Moon, Mr Jones want to know if you are free for lunch this afternoon"

"Send an apology for me and ask him to reschedule I am not free" Jason reply

(Well you could have fool me it clearly says your free here) he said in his mind

"OK sir if there is nothing else I'll go get your coffee"

He was about to walk out the door when Jason stop him.

"Mr Kim what time did you say the meeting was with the marketing department"

"At 1 pm sir" He said

( that's too late, my baby will be waiting for me and I also wants to stop by Daniels office I guess I have to start the meeting earlier…) He was in deep thoughts and didn't hear his assistant calling him.

"Sir, Sir" he tilt his head and look at his smiling boss (I wonder what could be so funny) he said to himself "Mr Blake"

Jason looked at his assistant and pretend like nothing just happen "inform the marketing team that the meeting will start a hour earlier than expected"

"Yes sir anything else"

"Don't bother with the coffee, that's all you may go" Mr Kim made a slight bow and left the office.

Jason took out a small red heart shaped box with a expensive diamond ring in it from is desk draw and looked at it, once again he was lost in thoughts.

The rest of the time was spent on doing paper work and him drifting in and out of thoughts. Time pass by very quickly and now it's time for the meeting. Jason made his way to the conference room with his assistant behind him. He enter the room and everyone stand up.

"Good afternoon everyone, am sorry about the late announcement that the meeting would be earlier than you expect, I know this went into your lunch time so after this Mr Kim will accompany you all to lunch my treat" he said.

"Good afternoon sir and thank you" they all said in unison.

Jason made a gesture for them to be seated and they all sit. The presenter took the floor and the meeting commence at a little pass 12, After 10 minutes into the meeting Jason is finding it hard to focus on the presenter, he keep thinking how things will turn and what reaction will Lev have.

"What is wrong with you, pull yourself together Jase this is no way for a grown man to act" he tells himself, but instead of calming down, a lot of questions keep popping up in his head. Everyone is focus on him instead of the presenter because of the way he keeps signing but no one dear to say anything. After a hour and a half,

"I have come to the end of the presentation thank you for listening…"

Everyone was silent for 5 mins, no one said anything out loud they just whispered amongst themselves.

Jason realize that the presentation was finish and everyone was waiting on his feedback, (what in the world should I say, I wasn't even listening)

"The…" he look to his assistant for help

"Sir will take a look over the report again after which he will make his final decision" Mr Kim said, (you owe me big time)

Jason stood up and said "that's all for today your all dismissed, have a wonderful lunch everyone".

He left the conference room and head straight back to his office with his assistant behind him.

" Sir is there anything you need me to do " Mr Kim said with concern.

"No you should go ahead and enjoy lunch, remember to put it on the companies bill" Jason reply while straightening up his desk and taking out the ring "ohh and by the way thanks for the help"

(uh-ha I knew it, that's why your on edge since morning) he said shouting in his head " It's no problem sir am just doing my job"

"OK have a nice lunch Mr Kim and do enjoy the rest of your day" he said in a concentrated voice.

"thank you and the same to you Sir, I'll take my leave" Mr Kim left the office and close the door.

Jason finish packed up and grab what he needed and also left the office.…
