also be careful of what we say and where we say it, there are monitors and recording devices throughout this building and the Takahashi’s Towers. I make sure that this office is swept every morning for any devices so you can talk freely in this office and this office only.” He turned to Monica. “Ms. Thomas, if you are ready, I can escort you to the conference room.”
“I know where it is. I just need a few minutes to clear my head before presenting. I will meet both of you there.”
Takeo gave her a quick nod and directed his attention to Kiyomi. “We should go.” Kiyomi gave Monica a faint smile and a tight squeeze of her hand before whispering, “We will talk tonight.” She released Monica’s hand and walked out the door with Takeo. Once in the office alone, Monica began to suffer from a panic attack. She sat in the seat behind the desk and tried to regulate her breathing. She put her head between her legs when her assistant walked in. “Ms. Thomas, are you okay?” she asked as she rushed to pour her a glass of water. Monica couldn’t speak. She grabbed the glass and tried to drink. After a few seconds, she was able to drink the water but the assistant could see that she was visibly upset. She noticed Monica’s hands trembling. “Can I get anything else for you? Should I call someone?” she asked concerned.
“No, I’m fine.” She took a few more deep breaths and stood. She drank the remainder of the water. “I’m sorry if frightened you, Lin. On very rare occasions, I suffer from panic attacks, but they pass. I’m okay now.” Monica took a few more deep breaths. “Did you make sure the copies of the presentation were delivered to the conference room?” Monica asked trying to change the subject.
“Yes, just as you instructed.” Her assistant was still looking perplexed. “Are you sure you don’t need me to get you anything else?”
“No, I’m going to head to the conference room. I will see you in a few hours.” Monica took couple of deep breaths; she needed to calm down and get to her presentation. She retrieved her paperwork off the desk. Monica turned to leave the office when she followed the eyes of the assistant and noticed that she was staring at the broken coffee cup. “I’m sorry about that, it slipped out my hand.”
“I will make sure it’s cleaned up right away,” the assistant said as she turned her attention to the broken glass.
CHAPTER EIGHT
Monica walked out of the office and headed towards the conference room. After being introduced to everyone including Mr. Yamada and his son, Jun, Monica was able to give the presentation flawlessly, even impressing Mr. Yamada with her knowledge. After she answered all questions, lunch was served and Monica headed back to her office. With all the craziness she was learning, she picked up her cell phone, deciding not to use the phone in the office to call Marco.
“Hello beautiful how did your presentation go?” Marco sexy voice boomed through the receiver.
“Hi baby, it is so nice to hear your voice. The presentation was amazing but that wasn’t the most amazing thing that happened to me this morning. I can’t wait to see you. You are not going to believe what happened to me this morning.”
“Now you have my curiosity peaked. Please explain,” he amused.
“Well, when I came in this morning I….”
Just as Monica was about to go into detail about meeting Victoria’s twin sister there was a knock at the door. “Baby I’ll explain everything to you when I see you; someone’s at my door. I will see you later at the condominium?”
“I’ll see you then,” was Marco’s last words before Monica hung up.
Takeo walked in the door. “Are you ready to go? Kiyomi is waiting in the car.”
“Yes, give me a few minutes and I will meet you in the lobby.
Takeo nodded and exited
