Her gaze swept all of the faces present at the conference. 'From all I said, I need a comment.'

The managing director put up his right hand.

'Yes Mr Jenkins.' Katherine smiled.

Jenkins stood and adjusted his blazers. 'Even if there is a huge capital investment, a favorable market system and so, it will amount to nothing.'

The dethroned director general, now executed director, Zachary sprang to his feet. 'What the heck are you talking about! If you simply don't know what to say, jam your feet in your mouth, seal your trap Jenkins!'

Katherine blanched at the outburst.

'Zack, your sadism pisses me off. This is the last time I'll have you insult in front of everyone.' He warned with an index finger. 'Why didn't you give the needed comment since you know it all but with the blasting slap that hit your face, I will pop open a champagne if you can think straight!' The slap he was referring to was his drop in position.

Some booed while others cooed.

Zachary left his position to meet Jenkins. 'I will make sure you swallow your words back, you Blabber!' They were standing face to face, with that of the ED red and his fist were formed on both sides.

'Our dear MD ain't blabbing, we all know things have not been the same for our dear boss.' The female execretary said on her feet giggling.

'Oh keep quiet you LovePeddler!' Zachary turned towards in her position. 'When you share his bed, how can be Blabber!'

Katherine blinked severally to be sure she wasn't having a day mare.

'That is out of point to we all here, Mr ex DG, how do you intend to make Mr Jenkins swallow his words, do you have assassin as friends now?' Someone from the advertisement department said using his formed fist as feigned microphone.

Some burst into laughter.

She placed a palm over her mouth to prevent her jaw from dropping.

'If anything ever happens to the MD, Mr Zachary wouldn't need court trials before he is jailed for we are more than enough witnesses.' Another said.

Some cheered before the uproar between the supporters and opposers.

Katherine stood from her seat and went to the exit where two security officers were on each side of the door.

'Excuse me.' She said more to the elderly of both. 'Is this the conference room or a place designated for some minutes of madness?'

'It is the conference room ma.'

'Are you sure? ' She glanced at both of them.

'Yes ma.' They chorused.

She asked for the club with the elderly security officer who handed it over and with matched to her earlier position.

They had completely forgotten about her as they were locked down in a battle of words.

With all the energy she cold muster, she strike the baton on the desk twice. 'I demand a pin drop silence!'

They all stared at her.

She pointed the baton with her head tilted to a side and her eyes sparkling in anger. 'You all better get down to your seats now or I would take you aback as you've done to me!'

Some sat down baffled at her reaction.

'What absolute rubbish! In my entire life, I've never seen nor heard such display of madness in a conference room among supposedly educated people, adults for that matter!' Her voice was at its loudest and she looked at those standing as if she was committing their faces to memory.

They all sat save the ED.

'You all acted like you were in a market place, Oh no...' She paused as if thoughtful. 'I've been made to realise that there are no market places here and in places where buyers and sellers come in contact so exchange of goods and services can take place, things are done in decorum. Even in countries like mine, market places can be linked with noise, our conference meetings are never an epitome of this rascally behaviour. I am highly disappointed in you all, I am disappointed in you most because you're the most accountable here.'

He met her gaze in a dangerous way with his nose flaring and his respiratory rate increased.

A pin drop prevailed as they looked up.

'I asked for a comment and he gave me one. It is solely my decision to commend or object to what Jenkins said. You have no right whatsoever to question his statement, for crying out, it was opened!'

'Katherine, ' He called spitefully. 'I won't have you insult me, hell no!'

'Hell yes Zachary! I'll tell you truth even if it come with insults.'

'You wouldn't dare Katherine... this is not Nigeria where...'

'Zachary, look at me clearly or maybe you do need a hanky to wipe the perspiration on her face, I am not the MD nor the head to any of the departments. I am the Director General Sigismund International Company, Texas, if you don't put your butt on the seat now, I will have you thrown out of the waters of this company.'

'You've definitely...'

'Security,' She called and they walked briskly to her side.

She handed over the club. 'Throw him out.'

They approached him with unwavering steps.

Defeated, Zachary waved them off and went to sit.

'Thank you gentlemen, you may now excuse us.' Katherine smiled knowingly. 'You, and you over there, remove that gum in your mouth or excuse us.'

They stood for the nearest waste can immediately.

Afterwards she had with them. longest talk she ever gave in her career.

The intercom on the desk buzzed and she pressed the receive button.

'Mr Martins is here to see you.'

'I beg your pardon. '

'Mr Zachary Martin is here to see you ma .'

'Look at him well Evelyn, is he with a pen knife, gun,...?'

'No.'

'A sword?'

'No.' Her secretary giggled.

'Let him come in.'

Katherine suspended what she had been doing to look at the door not too expectantly.

Was this going to be another exchange like the one the day before when Zachary had hurled insult at her, she had tried talking sense to him but he had being adamant.

It was when she told him that she was going to inform Mr Sigismund that he left her office and slammed the door behind him.

'Good morning Miss Sylvester, may I come in?' Zachary was standing past the door.

'Emmm... pardon me.' She looked at him scrutinizing to be sure he was void of a weapon.

'I come in peace, can I please come in?' He said calmly.

'Yes...sure.'

He removed his hands which had been behind him and produce a bunch of beautiful flowers. 'I got this for you as a sign of peace. '

'Emmm... hold them for some seconds, I need to wash my face.' She gestured towards the rest room as she stood.

'Miss Sylvester. ' He lowered his gaze. 'You're not seeing things, I am the one.'

She looked at him momentarily before laughing. She collected the flower. 'Thank you so much. Mmmh... I really love its fragrance.' She sat. 'Take seat. '

'It's such a shame that I have been so rude and I hope that you'll forgive me. ' He sobered.

Silence prevailed as she studied him. 'One step at a time Zachary, you can't just walk in here and say that. That might come after I know the reason for your attitude and change of mind within forty eight hours.'

Zachary exhaled. 'SIC Texas used to be US headquarters until Mr Sigismund left it for Japan and things all of a sudden began to go under. The big one came when I made a big presentation of an outdated information, before I realised it, it was out of my mouth.' He shook his head. 'I tried to redeem myself but it became a case of used nine fingers to remove oil smear on a finger. Things have never remained the same for me and for others.

For in as much I try to take charge, they keep slipping off my hand. I became temperamental. I lost it all.' He sighed.

Katherine sat back and listened attentively.

'The competition was there, SIC Japan, Brazil, USA, Nigeria, South Africa and others. I had the dream of making this company of one SIC finest in all ramification. I had all the plans but they came crashing that day at the conference.
That night, I got myself drunk and found myself on the front door of my fiancee's home. She sent out to the cold night and would not forgive until I promised never to take alcohol for any reason at all.' He smiled.

Katherine smiled too.

'She has been my solace in all these.' Zachary met her gaze briefly. 'You came along and displaced me and I felt so incompetent and I can see the employees sticking out their tongues at me just by looking at their face. I felt bitter, furious and couldn't help my ruthlessness.
My fiancee and I met yesterday evening and because of my attitude, she knew something was wrong and made me own up.

She did give me that head clearing slap you wanted to give me yesterday.' He gave a short laugh. 'She said to me -if you do get throw out of that company because of your excuse of an attitude, consider me out of your life. Helplessly, I asked for her advise.'

He looked at Katherine and all she saw was a man whose ego has been bruised.

'I understand that I don't deserve and some others would have thrown me out on the first day, please Miss Sylvester, please forgive me. This work now mean so much to me, my engagement to the love of my life, my sanity, my...'

'It's okay Zachary.' She drummed her fingers on the desk momentarily but thoughtfully. 'Show me a man who is successful and I assure you he know what it means to make mistakes and the true definition of failure. I know you wouldn't be easy but servitude and humility would have lifted you eventually. I believe you now know that termination of employments and bitterness just keep complicating matters. Your fiancee belongs to the class of people I love to meet.'

Zachary beamed.

Katherine sat forward and placed a palm under her chin with her brows narrowed. 'Maybe I should based your forgiveness on that.'

Zachary chuckled. 'She will be thrilled to meet you Miss Sylvester.'

'Do call me Katherine...I insist Zachary.'She added when he began to shake his head.

Dear diary,

I'm so happy things are beginning to fall into place, the bad eggs have been sorted and flushed out.
I personally saw to the interview of their replacement.

All hands are now on deck and some of us spend extra time after work to facilitate improvement.

I've also met a couple of neighbors.

Dear diary,

I was scared like I have never been in such a long time, Kayla and Camilla stormed my house with frightening custumes.

We almost had our ribs cracked with so much laughter and fun.

Kayla and Kenneth were getting along well.

I spoke to Mrs Sigismund and I would be spending the coming weekend with her.
