Emily who was calm and lost till now laughed hearing Daniel's words, people in situations like this try to pacify others but Daniel here was blunt with Matt and didn't entertain his antics.

"Oh you finally smiled." Daniel commented and continued, "You look really pretty when you smile so please keep smiling." saying this Daniel patted on her head.

​​

"I'll try to smile more often then, senior." she brightly smiled.

"Aww look at you two, you guys look so adorable." Matt teased them to make them feel uncomfortable.

"Hahaha obviously, we are two good looking people, so it is obvious we would look adorable." Daniel replied back.

Emily and Matt were taken aback by Daniel's response.

"Oh god Daniel you are the only person in my life who didn't shout at me or try to shut me up or glare at me, I finally found the person who doesn't get offended or annoyed by my words and rather knows how to shut me up, I love you dude." Matt looked at Daniel with starry eyes.

"Sorry Matt, I am straight but I can set you up with my gay friends if you want." Daniel continued teasing him.

"Hey, I am straight too." Matt replied back.

"Are you sure?" Daniel seriously asked.

Matt became speechless for a moment hearing his words and for a moment he really wondered,

Emily chuckled seeing Matt's reaction, "Daniel I wish I met you earlier."

"Why?"

"I never met someone, who could shut up this weird annoying man." Emily smiled.

"Hey, of course I am sure. I dated a lot of girls in my life" Matt answered after some serious thinking.

"That doesn't prove anything. Weren't you just wondering a moment back?" Daniel didn't want to give up teasing on Matthew.

"That's because there is nothing wrong in giving it a thought."

"Maybe you should give it a try too, just to be sure." Daniel winked at him.

"Should I try it with you?" Matt decided to tease back Daniel.

"I just told you I am straight but I am happy to set you up with some guys I am friends with, they'll be very excited to meet you." Matt's words didn't affect Daniel.

"Dude I lose, please stop prolonging it, I seriously don't know how to continue this conversation." Matt gave up in front of Daniel.

Daniel laughed at him, "Okay, I have an appointment in a few minutes, got to go."

"Let's have lunch together again, same time and same place." Matt told Daniel.

"Sure" Daniel left to continue his work.

"I am glad you are better now." Matt said, looking at Emily.

"Yeah thanks to the conversation between you and my senior, it really improved my mood."

"Cool then, continue smiling, Daniel was right you look damn pretty when you smile, please keep smiling."

"Okay boss." Emily saluted at Matt and they both went towards their departments.

Daniel then had a meeting with his patients, later when he checked his phone, he saw a missed call from his father, he kept his phone on silent when meeting patients and therefore he missed it. His father never calls him during work hours until and unless it is something important, so he quickly called him back.

....

Morrison Corporate Office

Jimmy was lying on the couch in his office room, last night he helped Daniel shift to his new house and he was very tired, he wanted to sleep more but he couldn't ignore his duties and had to come to the office, or else his grandpa would nag at him. So, he came to work to avoid taunts from his grandpa but relaxed in the office instead of working. Just then he got a call from his dad and he got really scared and immediately answered the call.

"Jim, today there is a very important meeting after lunch, it is scheduled for tomorrow but the client preponed it to today afternoon and I couldn't say no. Can you attend it in my stead?"

"Why? Where are you and why are you not here?" Jimmy got a bit worried as he never handled clients all by himself.

"I was supposed to attend it but I am stuck here in a different area with a client and therefore I can't attend the meeting. I am a few hours away from London. I hope you will attend it in my stead."

"Umm dad that."

"Can I trust you with this meeting or send my assistant instead?" Harry sounded very worried.

Sending the intensity of the situation, Jimmy decided to be responsible and lessen his father's worry.

"Don't worry dad I will attend the meeting." Jimmy confidently replied.

"You sure?"

"Yes dad"

"Good then make sure you leave a good impression on them, don't let me down. This project is very important to us."

"Okay Dad, I'll manage everything and will inform you everything after we are done."

Harry was proud hearing Jim say words which he never thought he would listen to in this lifetime and didn't expect such an immediate positive response from him and thought he might have to persuade him for a long time.

"Okay Jim I will meet you in the evening, I'll try to come as soon as I am done with this client meeting" saying this Harry cut the call and continued with his meeting.

Jim called his secretary to know the details about the meeting.

"Good morning sir" secretary entered the room.

"I want to know all the details about the meeting which is scheduled today afternoon with Dad."

"Sure sir, actually the foreign investors want to prepone the meeting as they have to leave the country tonight due to some personal reasons. This is a very important deal for us and we have to crack it."

"Yeah I am sure cracking this deal won't be a big deal." Jimmy casually answered.

"No sir, it is indeed a big deal and not that easy as these investors have also approached our competitors before meeting us and these people are very hard to please."

"Oh"

"Yes sir" The secretary looked very worried as Jimmy was handling this meeting and she knew his skill set. She has been working in this company for a very long time and was one of the most experienced members in this company, that was why she was assigned to Jimmy as he was not trusted by his family and everyone believed it was needed for him to have an experienced person with him.

Jim then seriously said "send me all details related to this project, before attending the meeting I want to go through it"

Secretary was a bit surprised as Jimmy was acting serious, she nodded her head and responded, "Yes sir I will mail you all the details immediately"

Jim was excited as he got an opportunity to prove his ability, he remembered Daniel's promise of introducing him to his writer and director friend if he proves his capability. Jim knows he has to prove himself first to achieve his dream. He thought to prepare himself very well before he attended the meeting as he didn't want to present himself as an idiot in front of these important people and let his father down. His father trusted him with something and requested him and he wanted to impress his father.

Secretary mailed him all the necessary files, he started going through them one by one and was completely immersed in it.

After some time, the secretary knocked on his door, "Yeah come in" Jimmy instructed, he was still seriously reading the documents on his computer and didn't even glance at the secretary who just entered.

The secretary was really surprised seeing Jimmy working so seriously, "Sir, it is lunch time now, you didn't come out yet so I came to check on you." Secretary said, wondering if Jimmy is not well as he was always the first one in this office to take a lunch break.

"What? It is already lunch time?" Jimmy was shocked. He couldn't believe he had been going through the project details for three hours now and that too at a stretch, he thought it was only an hour since he started going through it, he was surprised at himself, he never read for so long even during his student life. His head was spinning so he decided to take a small walk.

"I'll have lunch later, I am not hungry." he replied to the secretary and went for a walk around the corridor, even during this time he was thinking about the project and suddenly something stuck him. He immediately called Rachel.

"Hey Jimmy" Rachel answered as she saved his number on her phone the last time they met.

"Hey Rachel how are you?"

"I am good, how are you, did anything urgent come up that you called?"

"I am fine and yeah something important came up, I want some advice from you, can you spare some time, please" Jimmy was hoping she could.

"Sure and also you can call me up anytime, don't be so formal, be free to ask whatever you want" Rachel said in a friendly tone.
