A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 28

“Our budget of the project is around five million dollars. We will have fifty thousand guests for the outdoor fashion show and four thousand seats will be arranged for VIP. As to the VIP lists, two thousand guests are from our local distributors; the other two thousand will be reporters from social media. The proposal will contribute one hundred million dollars to the profit of our company"

 

Just the moment, somebody asked, “Ms. Murray, why are you so certain about the profit it will bring?”

 

“From the historic data, The Rowland Group spent forty million dollars on advertising on the TV, newspapers and magazines last year. I think everyone has got to know how much it earned. It was only from several social medias. This time, we plan to invite some leading TV stations as well as newspapers and magazines with key opinions, especially the fashion magazines. The Rowland Group is so well-known that we don't have to pay them extra costs; they will try to attend the show to report our event. So, don't you understand how much we will earn from the promoting of the two thousand reporters?" she answered with great confidence and gave another question at last.

 

Sherry was smiling at all the meeting joiners, confidently waiting for the next question.

 

Unintentionally, she had an eye contact with William, but not try to avoid him at all. She might be asking whether he had some other questions to her.

 

Then she found William had a look at Liam who was also looking at and nodding to William now.

 

Finally, William raised a question, "Ms. Murray, it is late autumn now. Have you considered for the models about their feeling cold at such a night show?"

 

Sherry kept a smile to say, "Mr. Rowland, on our proposal you could read some information. We will set up a temporary backstage of three hundred square meters big there. The supplier of the central air-conditioning agreed to offer us free service at that night. As the exchanging condition, our group will use them as a regular supplier for installment of all air-conditioners in office:

 

Liam was happy with her answer. As a new joiner of the group, Sherry had a glorious performance.

 

Anna also changed her mind about Sherry now.

 

The meeting came to an end after some more discussion.

 

All people left the meeting room. Liam walked towards Sherry to give her a compliment, "Sherry, you did a really good job!"

 

He did not expect Sherry to perform so well that the arrogant Susan started to think highly of her and loved to invite her a dinner.

 

From the meeting, she was surly competent.

 

Sherry smiled and said, "I really appreciate your advice”

 

Now William was leaving the room but stopped to look at Sherry who stood in front of the projector. It made Sherry feel some of nervous.

 

Liam asked, "William, some comments?”

 

William watched them to answer, "If we can earn one hundred million dollars from the winter wear in the quarter, you will get the bonus of fifty-month salaries.

 

Liam yelled, “Wow! William, it's cool!"

 

Sherry was astonished and had a shy smile. Would she make it some day? Her smile stunned both William and Liam.

 

Before Sherry getting back to her desk, Alice came to give Sherry a hug and said, "Sherry, well done! Anna said you are so amazing today!"

 

Sherry shook her head; obviously, she had not got used to the close body contact, “Thank you. Mr. Rowland is in office.’

 

Alice sat back immediately and took a peep at William who came soon. He was back to his own office as well as talking with Liam.

 

Lara walked out of her office room and had a look at Sherry, then leaving for the pantry.

 

At lunch time, Sherry had something with Alice in the dining room. Lara was passing by with a hot soup.

 

Unexpectedly, she threw the hot soup on Sherry by accident.

 

Lara screamed, "Oh, my god! I'm so sorry, Sherry, this is an accident!"

 

Sherry yelled in a lower voice, “It's too hot!"

 

Alice found all the hot soup on Sherry's arm and said, "Sherry, you have blisters. It hurts?"

 

All the staff in the dining room turned to look at them. Someone felt sympathetic while someone felt gloating. Anyway, all of them kept silent because everyone considered Lara to be one girlfriend of William.

 

Lara apologized again, "Sherry, that's my bad. I am so silly to do it”

 

Sherry shook her head and bit her lips. She felt too hot on her arm where some blisters appeared. She said peacefully, "Never mind. I know”

 

It was Alice who got fury with this, “Ms. Rhodes, you can slip on such a wide pass. It's incredible!"

 

Lara raised her voice to be sharp, "What do you mean? You said I intended to do it?”

 

Alice curled his lips and said, “You know yourself! You poured such hot soup on Sherry's arm. She got blisters now!"

 

“Alice!” Sherry stopped Alice to talk more. She appreciated Alice for arguing with Lara. However, Lara had told this was an accident, so, she had to end the trouble.

 

Liam was in the dining room for a moment; now he was much annoyed with what happened. Everyone knew how nice Liam was, but he was horrible at the moment and came to them.

 

Someone said, "Hey, Mr. Brooks was here”

 

Liam came near to see Sherry's hand; there were some blisters.

 

He held Sherry's another hand to leave and said, “Follow me:
