Miss Sales Manager - Volume 1 Chapter 18

Tina went home and informed her parents about her new position, they were thrilled. Tina took them out for dinner, they spent good time. Her father was very proud of her, even her mom was proud, at the same time she thought if Tina got married, it would be a better occasion to celebrate.. mothers are mothers after all..

The next day, Tina had work in office, she took her luggage along with her so that she can directly go to the airport in the evening after completing her work. Fred also did the same, the entire day both were occupied with their respective work. Jason called them several times, he kept them on toes the full day, chasing them for some important inputs regarding sales and marketing.

Tina was designing new flyers (brochures) for the new marketing campaign. Marketing was always about creating visibility for brand and the respective products. She was working with Jessica (Swiss Marketing head). She will not be getting time to sit and work for the next four days as she has meetings lined up with dealers along with Fred.

She took Jason’s approval and designed some give aways to customers like Pens, calendars, mouse pads, writing pads which bear the logo of their brand and the product which needs to be promoted. Few sales people saw how hard Tina was working and thought that she deserved her promotion.

Then she set up a call with few local vendors and checked with them the price at which they could print these flyers, note pads.. she contacted another vendor for customization of pens, mouse pads.. she was tied up till lunch with all this work.

Fred came over to speak to Tina, but since she was occupied, he didn’t disturb her.. he also felt proud that this lady is so committed towards her work which was amazing.

Then they took lunch break, Fred and Tina went to have lunch in the office cafeteria. Post lunch they had a discussion with Jason again regarding the update on work carried out so far.

They finished everything and then took a cab to the airport. Fred was relaxed, so was Tina. She took a short power nap on the way to the airport.. she woke up fresh..both of them entered the airport, checked in, cleared the security check and headed to the lounge.

Tina went to the rest room and changed into casual clothes. She wore jeans and polo neck top.. her figure looked amazing in that outfit, Fred felt like going and hugging her, but he controlled his feelings.

He said, ‘you want something to drink? ‘ she said, ‘ yes, I would like to have a beer, will you get it.. or you want me to get mine? ‘ she teased him.. he said, ‘its ok I will get the beer.. you go grab some snacks, ‘ she nodded and got some nachos with cheese dip and roasted peanuts.

They said ‘ Cheers’ and drained a bottle of beer each, they took one more drink, had some food and headed to board the Hyderabad flight. They boarded the flight and the flight took off, Tina fell asleep, her head rested on Fred’s shoulder.. he felt as if he was on a pleasure trip with his partner.. not on a business trip with his coulleague and smiled to himself..

It was a two hour journey, they landed in Hyderabad international airport. They collected their baggage and took a cab to reach the hotel they were staying in. It took an hour for them to reach the hotel.

Tina felt sleepy, Fred’s eyes were red.. he had a problem.. he can’t sleep while he travelled.. he needed to be stationary on bed.. this was opposite of Tina.. she falls asleep even during a short trip.. taking power naps always helped her stay charged and fresh.

They collected keys to their respective rooms, Fred dropped Tina at her room. She didn’t know why but, she came close to Fred and hugged him and said good night.. he cupped her face in his arms and kissed her forehead.. he wanted to kiss her on her lips.. but he controlled himself.. he thought she was drunk and it will be wrong to take advantage now.. he said good night and walked away towards the elevator..
