go, but the next hospital briefing is yours and it’s on Monday.” Then turned and left the room as she muttered, “Some people can be so pushy.”
Yasmine could hear her friend’s laughter following her as she returned to her office.

“...we’ll also have attendants carrying trays of your different products; like the suntan lotions and massage creams and oils, and so on. We’d like some of your company’s models to mingle with the guests in various styles of Scorpio’s new apparel—swimsuits and intimates. In addition, during the evening, the hotel has agreed to supply hors d’oeuvres offered by their staff around the room. The event would last from late afternoon to early evening, to include all types of contests and prizes.”
Jason finished pitching the promotional idea to the president of Scorpio; then sat down at his desk, giving Mr. Jordan the opportunity to absorb the information.
Jason observed Terrance Jordan as he sat quietly, the way he had been since he had begun his presentation on how Coleman and Weary were going to promote his business and get a jump on all of Scorpio’s competitors.
“I keep telling you, Jason, call me Terrance.”
“I’ll do that when the promotion is a success.” Jason sat at his desk watching the older man as he reviewed the information packet and boards in the room.
“A promotion party given in the most deluxe hotel by the sea, during the Neptune festival—which in it’s self will draw thousands of people. How could it be anything less than sensational?”
“I thought the same thing, sir. So is that a yes for my team to go forward in completing preparations?” Jason stood up and extended his hand to the other man.
Terrance Jordan rose along with Jason. “I have two conditions...”
“Which are?”
“One, my marketing team gets to sit in and participate in the meetings involving the setup.”
“The other one?” Jason never agreed to anything, until all of the information was out on the table.
Mr. Jordan beamed a smile at him. “You start calling me Terrance, because the entire idea you and your staff came up with is a success.”
“Deal.” Jason smiled and shook hands with a pleased Terrance. “By the end of the day, I will have a messenger deliver two copies of the contract including the change you requested. If you would please send one signed copy back, it will be official.”
“You got it.”
“I appreciate your confidence in Coleman and Weary, Terrance.”
“With a slogan like, ‘Scorpio: so bare it stings’, I couldn’t resist,” Terrance Jordan headed toward the door.
“Well we’re glad you approve. Thanks again.” Jason followed the older man out to the reception area.
Jason watched Terrance get on the elevator, when the door closed he turned to his secretary. “Call Kyle and tell him I’m e-mailing him the changes to the contract and I need it at least an hour before the end of day. Then order some food for tomorrow from one of the local restaurants for lunch and let my staff know we will be meeting at eleven thirty and tell them to bring plenty of pencils and paper, we’ve got a lot of work to do. Also, later on today, call Scorpio and have their marketing department send over the people who will be working on the promo this summer.” After he made sure his secretary had all of the information written down, Jason headed back into his office.
Jason paused before closing the door. “Make that lunch order from the deli, Jeannie.”
“Good choice, Mr. Richardson,” Jeannie assured him.
I guess it wouldn’t hurt to begin implementing some changes, Jason thought to himself as he returned to his desk, picked up the phone and called his house to catch his part-time housekeeper before she went to the store.
