Cordy left Sachs Enterprises' office building in her car and drove toward Starstream Group's office building.
Randy methodically reported to her the next appointment in her schedule. "Boss, there's a director's meeting at Starstream Group in half an hour which is scheduled to end at 11.30 AM. There's an interview by a finance magazine at 1.30 PM. The editor-in-chief will conduct the interview right in your office and I've already requested for them to keep the interview within 40 minutes.
"At 3.08 PM, high-end brand SHE of Galaxy Center, Lux City's international mall, requests your attendance at their ribbon-cutting ceremony for their launch. The event will be live-streamed, and the make-up artist will arrive at your office half an hour before the event. There's a business dinner at 6 PM for which I've already arranged for someone from the public relations department to attend with you."
Cordy looked outside the window as she listened on.
"Tomorrow, I've pushed away all work appointments for your trip to the capital," Randy went on, "At 3 PM tomorrow, there is an international fashion show in the capital. Maron will be featured in the opening show as our country's top designer and he sent an invitation to you one month ago. Mr. Sean Cranston will also be attending the show tomorrow, and he asks for you to be his partner at the event."
"Sure," Cordy responded to him.
"Okay, I'll inform Mr. Cranston right away," Randy acknowledged respectfully.
He buried himself back in his work in all seriousness.
"Randy."
"Yes, Boss?"
"John Levine has been gone for three years."
"...Yes," Randy's fingers stopped moving across his laptop keyboard.
Cordy's back was to him and he could not see the expression on her face.
But he could sense, from her tone, that she was missing his ex-boss again.
After his ex-boss passed on, he continued working for Cordy.
In fact, that night when his ex-boss went to save Richard, he had instructed him to follow Cordy and work for her if anything untoward were to happen to him. John wanted him to help Cordy and share her burden at work.
When his ex-boss took the initiative to ask him in hopes that he would stay by Cordy's side and help her, Randy agreed without any hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
Three years was not exactly a long time, but neither was it a short time.
It was still difficult to forget a person within three years.
