A TRAIN RIDE HOME
Chapter 29: Meeting

Chapter 29: Meeting

You can almost hear a pin drop within the confines of these vast offices. Athereal Corporation is well-known for its hard working employees who are of the cream of the crop in their industry. With the trust and loyalty of thousands of employees on their backs, it is no wonder that the office today has murmuring going on that makes whispers look like total silence. Ken points to the direction of the corporate office and strings his manager along. They are in for the ride of a lifetime.

Eden sits at his desk ajar, waiting patiently for Ken and company. He has given up on the current situation and is currently in a war of words with his colleagues. They are shifting blame around for this failure and the project might ultimately end in cancellation. Nothing they can do about it. Simply none.

Ken and the Manager walks into the meeting room where a secretary ushers them to their seats and told them to wait. It is a really nice meeting room with a larger than usual wood finishing table and state of the art comfy chairs. A line of water bottles await to quench their guests thirst at the front while a giant monitor screen the size of a mini-cinema stood on top of it.

I peer out into the scenery outside. It is a desert after all but the view is really spectacular. The town has been utterly transformed by the arrival of Athereal Corporation. One could even say it was revived by its very existence. The industry of old like mining and oil is replaced by the lightning fast nature of high tech construction buildings that are triple-AAA rated credit and environmentally friendly. Athereal Corporation has seemingly become one of the most elusive yet powerful corporations in the upper-east. It carried with it awards upon awards at annual real estate competitions. And the construction is always on time and under budget. Yet the quality speaks for itself and their customers are among the most satisfied if not the most in the city.

It is with terrible luck that their main financier who is going to finance this upcoming project is hit by tough times and end up in bankruptcy. Only time will tell if Athereal Corporation gets over the crisis that it currently finds itself in.
