When a Champion Wants You
last night brought a slight, reminiscent smile
to his face.
    “ Dimitrius, what do you
think?” Dante asked him, interrupting his thoughts.
    “ Well, Dimitrius can’t
really give a good opinion,” Desmond said, “Especially since he
didn’t sit in on Kurt’s interview.”
    “ Doesn’t matter, Des,”
Dimitrius said. “I think we’re all in agreement that Melanie is
perfect for the job.”
    His brothers stared at him.
Confused. Shocked. Well, Desmond was more shocked than Dante.
Desmond wasn’t privy to the conversation that Dante and Dimitrius
had concerning Melanie, so he hadn’t known that Dimitrius was
seriously considering dating her, and if he had his way, marrying
her.
    “ Wait…you made it clear
that you didn’t want Melanie for the job,” Desmond said. “You were
drilling her so hard, it made me uncomfortable.”
    “ Well, I changed my mind,”
Dimitrius said. “I looked over her resume again, and I think she’s
qualified, especially coming from such a wealth of customer
service. That’s what we were looking for right?”
    Dante smirked. That hadn’t
been all Dimitrius was looking for. “Right.”
    “ Then are we all in
agreement that Melanie has the job?” Desmond asked.
    Dimitrius
nodded.
    Dante said, “Yes. We’re in
agreement.”
    “ Good. I’ll call her after
the meeting is over,” Desmond said.
    Something about Desmond
calling Melanie sent a streak of jealousy through Dimitrius as
evident by the slight frown in his forehead.
    Dante saw it right away and
said, “That’s not necessary, Des. I’ll get my assistant to call
her.”
    “ Okay. Cool.”
    “ I do need to know when you
want her to start,” Dante told him. “Ideally, I need her to train
with you for the first week.”
    “ Monday is a good start
date,” Desmond replied. “I don’t have much on my calendar for next
week.”
    “ Okay. Monday it is. Now,
let’s discuss eRoll. Des, run through the marketing strategies for
the re-launch.”
    “ I’ve started with the
basics. A month ago, press releases went out. Another batch is set
to go out this week. My team has sent out emails and fliers to the
top corporations in the country, inviting them to send a
representative to the eRoll re-launch.”
    “ How has the response been
so far?”
    “ So far we’re getting a
pretty good response. I think businesses are looking for a better
streamlined payroll process than what current payroll processors
provide. Of course you have the main payroll outsourcing company,
Automatic Payments, who would be our direct competition, but eRoll
offers solutions that they have yet to address.”
    Dante nodded. “I agree.
Dimitrius and I discussed the new eRoll app that he’s been working
on. That’s one solution Automatic Payments has stayed away
from.”
    “ How’s that coming?”
Desmond inquired.
    “ It’s coming along. It’ll
be ready for download during the first day of the re-launch. The
app syncs with the eRoll software and allows employees to enter
their payroll time and submit it directly to their company’s eRoll
account. Of course, whomever approves timesheets for the company
would go in, make sure everything is in order before they process
their payroll, but imagine the convenience that will give, not only
employers, but their employees. People lead busy lives these days.
No one has time to continuously stalk their timesheet every couple
of weeks. The app automatically enters their time, then it sends a
notification reminder on the day that it needs to be
submitted.”
    “ So employees could go in
and make tweaks to their time before they submit it,” Desmond
said.
    “ Exactly,” Dimitrius
responded.
    “ That’s good, man. These
companies are going to be blown away at the show,” Desmond
added.
    “ Then it sounds like we’re
right where we need to be at this stage in the game,” Dante said.
“I have to say, I’m excited about this project.”
    “ Me too,” Desmond said.
“Can’t wait to see the full
