Chapter 3: The Meeting

Sherry's POV

I woke up hearing the alarm-clock. I hated waking up early, but unfortunately I had a meeting today. I got up, stretched myself a bit and went down to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. After finishing eating the breakfast, I went to the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. Then I went back into my bedroom to get dressed. After that I went to my car and drove to the company which will construct the building of my company.

Since traffic in Germany is horrible, it took me almost an hour to get there. It's a good thing that I woke up so early, otherwise I would have been late to the meeting. After finding a parking lot which was not too far away, I went to the secretary. I told her who I was, which caused her to call the manager of the company. I waited a few minutes until she told me that I could go upstairs to meet him. I took the elevator and enjoyed the annoying music playing in it until I finally arrived in front of his office. After knocking on the door and hearing a "You may come in", I went inside.

"Ah, Miss LeBlanc. A pleasure to finally meet you", he said. He was a rather young man and spoke with a strong German accent.

"Nice to meet you too, Mister Becker", I replied as we shook hands.

"Please sit down." he pointed at the chair which was at the opposite side of the desk. I nodded and did what he said.

"So, what can I do for you Miss LeBlanc," he said in a flirty tone.

"Well, as I already said during our phone conversation, I need someone to construct a building for me." I ignored his flirty attitude, hoping he would stop being like that.

"You need that for your company, right?"

"Exactly. And since I produce cards, I need a rather large building to produce as much as I can."

"Right. So, as you can see here, I've already found a good place in this city where we could construct your building", he said as he gave me a folder. I opened it, and took all papers that were in it out. After taking a closer look on it, I smiled contentedly and gave him the folder back.

"That place would be perfect. It's big enough to construct it, yet it's still pretty close to the centre of the city."

"I knew you would like the place. However, it's more expensive than other places."

"Mister Becker, I'm the chef of a really successful company. Money is not the problem."

"That's good to hear, Miss LeBlanc."

"So now that we found a good place, there's only one question left: how long will it take to build it?"

"Well as you can see it's a really tall building. It will take a long time, but I guarantee you that we try to build it as fast as we can. We try to finish the building within a year."

"Are you sure that's enough time? I mean it has ten floors. That's really huge, so one year sounds like a too short period of time", I replied doubtfully.

"Well as you said, money is not the problem. If there are more workers that help to built it, it won't take as long as if there are just a few workers."

"Okay, so you say that if I pay more, it won't take as long."

"Exactly," he replied, which made me frown a bit. First his flirty attitude and now that? Wow. I mean of course I knew that he wanted to make as much money as possible, everyone in this business does that, but he could do it a bit more subtly.

"So how much will it cost then?" I replied a bit annoyed.

"I'm not sure yet. First I have to talk to my construction manager. He probably knows more about the costs of it than I do. But enough with all the money talk. How about we go check out the place?", he asked me slightly smiling.

"Sure why not," I replied. We both got up and went down to the parking lot.

"Do you want to drive with me?" he asked me again with this flirty tone. This guy is for sure annoying.

"I'll just follow you with my car, but thanks for the offer," I said as I unlocked my car. As if I would drive with this obtrusive guy. He unlocked his car as well and got into it. After he drove away I followed him. It took us half an hour to get to the place. We parked our cars nearby and took a closer look at the free space in front of us. Wow how impressive.

"So now that you see it, what do you think", he asked as he laid a hand on my shoulder.

"I already said that the place is good", I replied brushing his hand off. What's wrong with this dude? "Also, we're not even business partners, so stop being so flirty", I added annoyed by his attitude.

"Oh come on, Miss LeBlanc. No need to be shy."

"I'm not shy. This is just very inappropriate."

"Come on. First we're business partners, that's true. But after that we could be so much more."

"Well, I have another meeting to attend. I'll call you, when I decide if I'll hire you or not." With that I went back to my car and drove away from this guy.

I probably won't hire him to construct my company building. Which is bad, because now I had to find another construction company who will build it. I sighed, looking at the clock. It's almost 2pm, I probably wouldn't find a company at this time. Well, at least I knew what I'll be doing the next day then. After realizing how close I was to the hospital, I decided to make a small detour. It wouldn't be that bad if I surprise a close friend of mine. With that in mind, I drove to the hospital to see Aki.
