บท 6: My name is Xael

Oh, come in Xael. I like you to meet Mr Niklas, our new client and business partner for the project. Mr Niklas this is Xael, she is the one in charge of the project and well capable in helping you in anything you want for the project. I tried to smile but it seems like my smile as slightly distorted as I am shocked to know that this rude man will be working together with me until the project finish. I am glad to work with you Ms Xael, I hope we make a good team and the project will be finished in time and successful. It is also my pleasure to meet you, Mr Niklas. I also hope there will be no glitch in this project. The short notice meeting continues with the exchange of pleasantly between me and my supervisor, Mr Andrew until lunch hour. Why don't all of three of us have lunch together, I have some voucher from a new restaurant downstairs? We can continue to forwardly discuss on the matter of project also. I want to politely decline the offer as I already have an appointment with my friends but Mr Andrew persistence left me helpless. That man seems rather pleasant by the offer. Although I already know his name I still want to call him "that man" as he never even once apologise to his behaviour. He seems to ignore the fact that we have met before. We arrive at the restaurant and we were ushered to a private room. We eat and talk about the project. The meal is filling but I will never order it again. All of it consists of major seafood and I am not so fond of seafood especially prawn as I have mild allergies. The most unfortunate things today is to know that I will be working with that man and also I forgot to take my anti-histamine from my drawer in the office before going to the restaurant.
