Chapter 49 The First Half-Hourly Check In

Back at Frost Corporation

The conference room was dimly lit with only the projector illuminating light. A man stood at the front looking professional in his suit as he explained the chart displayed. He would look between the screen and his audience from time to time. He had made sure to memorize his presentation to avoid any slip ups.

Ding!

The already silent room fell more eerily quiet Who would dare to leave their phone on speaker especially in the presence of the big boss? They all looked around trying to find the culprit. One of them suddenly dropped his jaw and all of them followed his line of sight.

Zach had his phone in hand and his lips lifted into a small smile. His face looked so serene and gentle.

Ajtlh@***.com: Happy?

Zach fought the urge to not smile like a fool as his fingers moved elegantly across his phone screen. She had actually fulfilled her first half hour check in.

Everyone: "..."

Ahismine@***.com: Very, very happy. Don't forget the next one.

His phone chimed once more and a direct message came in.

Xavier: What time will your meeting end?

Zach ignored the message and went back to his email inbox. However, another message from his brother came.

Xavier: Do you plan on working after your meeting?

His phone chimed again. It was Amy's message this time. He ignored his brother and made to check her message when Xavier texted him again. His brows furrowed in annoyance before he swiftly blocked his brother's number and went back to Amy's message. The annoyance dissipated when he read the message and a soft chuckle escaped his thin sexy lips.

"Holy shit!" The presenter blurted out. He gasped when he realized his mistake. "Please forgive me boss!"

He immediately got down on the floor and kowtowed a few times showing his sin repentance. He would not be surprised if he was kicked out of the meeting, or suspended from work or worse, fired. Everyone held their breaths awaiting with him his judgement.

"It's okay", Zach said without raising his head.

Everyone: "..."

The men felt Zach was too cool with his nonchalant attitude while the women swooned when they experienced such a rarity. The man wanted to shout his thanks but he was quickly signalled by George not to utter a word more. So they all fell silent and patiently waited for their boss to finish his business. Zach was simply eliminating any distractions from giving his attention to Amy.

Ajtlh@***.com: Aren't you in a meeting? You need to focus.

Ahismine@***.com: Alright, I will. I'll talk to you soon.

Zach put down his phone and looked up at the awaiting audience. "Proceed", he instructed.
