Chapter 26

When it was time for the appointment, Kris fetched his mother and drove to the Baltimore branch of TT Fashion. The building was magnificent, with stunning interiors and exteriors. They took the elevator to the top floor, where the CEO’s office was located.

They stopped by a desk in the most sophisticated area of the floor, and his mother asked, “Is this the CEO’s office?”

“Yes,” the secretary responded. “How may I help you?”

But his mother didn’t wait. She turned and tried to open the door when the secretary rushed to stop her.

“You can’t just enter as you wish!”

Indignation filled his mother’s face. “How dare you speak to me in that tone? Don’t you know who I am?”

“Mum!” Kris quietly chastised her, feeling like she was frustrated with everything going on. His mother had always been a proud and self–sufficient person, so having to seek the help of someone else was hard for her.

He turned to the secretary. “We have an appointment with the CEO.”

“Of course. You must be the Millers. Please follow me.”

With that, she opened the door for them. Kris’s heart skipped a beat as he followed his mother inside, but it sank when he realized there was no one in the office.

“Where’s your boss? Why isn’t she here?” his mother questioned.

“She’s caught up in something, but please take a seat. She’ll be here soon.”

His mother was upset. “She was the one who insisted that we come this afternoon, and she isn’t here? How unprofessional can she be?”

“Ma’am, if you think you’re too busy to wait, you might as well leave and book another time,” the secretary said and immediately walked out.

“Did you see how she spoke to me?” his mother complained.

Kris sighed. “Mother, just calm down and let’s wait.”
