24 Hello Boss.

"You really do have guts, to the extent that you dare call me names, I think the Beazell Group has enjoyed such a good life in Baltimore that they have become so arrogant."

"Master Jason?"

"Hold it there, what qualification do you have to call my name?" Scorned Jason.

"I'm sorry President Wyatt, it was a slip of tongue" Linda begged. The last thing she needs now is another confrontation with President Jason. She had barely recovered from their last encounter at Wyatt Corps.

"Yeah, the same way everything is going to slip through your fingers until Beazell Group goes penniless."

There was an awful expression on Linda's face as understanding gradually dawned on her.

"President Wyatt, please spare my family. I know I was wrong and won't ever offend Kathleen again."

"Now get lost and don't ever appear anywhere around this Mall again."

Turning to everyone he apologized. "We are sorry for affecting your shopping today. To show my sincerity, there will be a ten percent discount on everything you buy her today."

"You heard that," reiterated the Manager. "You can now go about your shopping peacefully."

"Thank you President Jason. You are indeed worthy of your title; The Indomitable President." They all cheered with excitement. Who doesn't like free food, especially when served on the golden platter of J and J mall.

"We love you," screamed the ladies as Jason gave a curt bow and went into the executive office.

"How can someone be so handsome and so cool at the same time? I think I'm in love," a young lady in her thirties proclaimed.

"Get a hold of yourself. That is near impossible," someone else scoffed.

"What makes you think I can't catch his fancy?"

"Didn't you see how he treated Ms Beazell just now?

"That's because, she is a fool. Although she's beautiful, all she knows to do, is how to be malicious and proud." She gave a cold snort. "Who would like such a snub? But look at me, I have a pure heart and very much likable."

"Keep dreaming," the other lady sneered and walked away to continue with her shopping.

"What are you guys up to?" A breathless Cheryl asked the moment they entered the office. "Is there anything you are not telling me?"

Darn! she had to practically run to meet up with these siblings' long strides. How did they manage to walk so fast?

Jason quirked an eyebrow at Cheryl.

Cheryl gave an exasperated look. "Why were the both of you hurrying as if the whole world was after you two?"

"Oh, that? Janice has something important to attend to."

"What might that be?"

"It's a conference call with her partners overseas. She won't be able to make it to Wyatt Corps in time for the meeting, so I have to help her set up since she's not familiar with things here."

After Jason finished setting up, Kathleen expressed her appreciation.

She took a look at the time. "It's about time," she said and took her seat in front of the screen.

"We'll have to excuse you then."

"Speak for yourself, gentleman. I'm not tagging along with anyone." Cheryl exhited the office leaving a bemused Jason behind.

"Babe…" Jason called and went after Cheryl.

"These two," Kathleen shook her head, smiling in the process and connected to the call."

"Good day everyone." Kathleen had a welcoming smile on her face.

"Hello, Boss."

"How have you all been?" After receiving their responses, Kathleen dove straight into the meeting.

"I want to appreciate everyone for the diligent effort put into the completion of the last project. It was a huge success and the first batch of sample drugs is ready."

"I believe in no time, KC Wyatt Pharmaceuticals will be a great force to reckon with all over the world as our target is for growth and with a distinct purpose of positively impacting the health and lives of people all over the world."

"Dr Kendrick, as Head of Productions, what's the report from your own end?"

"Everything is ready Boss and the production team is ready to take off as long as you give the word."

"Director Bruce, can you brief the house on how far you've gone with the collaborations?"

"We have been able to go over the details of the supply with the major pharmaceutical companies we are collaborating with in the US. Our subsidiary companies all over the world have also submitted the bids of the companies in their regions that are interested in the collaborations and are looking forward to working with us."

"But they want to be sure it will be delivered on time," Director Bruce concluded.

"That's excellent." Kathleen was deeply impressed with her team of workers and wasted no time in commending them when necessary.

"From the feedback I'm getting, requests for supplies have started rolling in from our major marketers and once we receive clearance from The US Federal Drug Administration (FDA), we'll commence mass production."

"Also inform them that there'll be no cause for any delay on our part. Once payment is made, they'll get the consignments delivered to them in or before a fortnight after payment has been received."

"Let's ensure we tighten every loose end so that there won't be any challenges arising from any quarters."

"Once again congratulations and please, do take care of your health. When you need to take a break, do so. You are humans and not machines. Even machines do break down if the rules are not adhered to strictly."

Everyone nodded in acquiescence. This was what they liked about their boss. She always has their interest at heart and wouldn't just give them tasks that will interfere with their personal lives, except when necessary. But even at such times, it wouldn't get to the point of breaking.

She believed that for optimum performance, the state of mind and the capability of the body must be in sync.

A weak body in the right state of mind will yield little result, likewise, a disastrous result will be the product of a strong body in the wrong state of mind.

However, the possibilities are endless with the right state of mind working in harmony with an energetic and healthy body.

"That will be all for today, and congratulations once again." With that, the meeting was brought to a close.

Kathleen came out of the office and went to look for the manager. They needed to have some serious talk about that incompetent staff.
