President Hartley was all smiles, his eyes twinkling behind his silver glasses, a grin that was impossible to hide, like a love-struck teenager. Surprisingly, when the meeting reached a critical point, President Hartley suddenly left, leaving everyone very confused.
Nobody had a clue about what just happened.
Marcus' secretary Ben immediately jumped in to take the reins, "Let's keep the ball rolling, folks. I'll fill in President Hartley about the meeting."
Even without Marcus' involvement, the team's enthusiasm didn't take a hit. But the point was, it came to a critical point where Marcus was needed to make a decision.
Ben tried calling Marcus, and after numerous attempts, Marcus finally picked up.
Ben breathed a sigh of relief, "President Hartley, we need your decision. Is this a good time?"
Marcus, "Shoot."
Ben quickly relayed the meeting details. After listening, Marcus promptly made a decision and then said, "No need to hang up, I'll conference call in with you guys."
Ben, "Okay."
Just then, a loud bang came from Marcus' side.
A car accident!
Ben, "President Hartley, are you alright?"
