"Well I had to work after high school and they are still much younger so I let them school while I work because all of us can't be illiterate".
"Wow! Viewers don't you agree with me for giving her those fantastic names. She's worth more. Look at a rare sacrifice. This sure a lesson for us all to learn from" she said with enthusiasm.
Melissa smiled at her words.
"Melly, I just woke up one day and all the news I hear about is that D-foundation just got herself a beautiful angel working for them. I was like who might this be. At first I thought it was one of those usual female business mogul but I was wrong. Can you tell us how you came to be D-foundation's vice president with such background. I'm so curious an I sure know my viewers are too".
With the lady's look you will know she is indeed curious.
"Well I was seated in my house when a letter came for me from D-foundation ordering me to come which I went and I was given the job" she said shortly
"Did you know why the letter came to you?"
She couldn't believe that someone just sit in their house and a great opportunity like that then drop by.
"Never knew".
"Did you try to know?"
"Yes but never got an answer" she shrugs.
Melissa quickly retrospected on how she pestered Drew to tell her their main reason for employing her but he wouldn't budge. She know that one day she would get to know.
"Interesting" Amanda said. "So how is working for the foundation?"
Melissa rolled her eyes and smiled. "Let me just answer that with a word. Extravagant" she laughed.
"Wow! But I heard some company plead with you to come to them promising to pay you double of what the D-foundation pays you. Why refuse?"
That was the truth. After Melissa was made known to the world by reporters and also her skills of making money, lot of companies came to persuade her with mouthwatering salaries but she declined.
"If not D-foundation, none of them will know anything about Melissa O'Dell. Moving away from D-foundation is like betraying a benefactor. They brought me to the picture and I'm not ready to leave until I'm dismissed officially" she said with strong assurance. "Even if they offer me the world" she added.
"D-foundation got so much luck indeed" she said facing her screen. "Tell me, how do you cope with your workers. I'm sure most of them will be older".
"We've got well trained workforce. They respect and obey me as it ought to be. They never for once belittle me" she said with pride beaming in her face.
"Speaking the truth, not all will totally adore your presence".
"My father told me something. He said if everyone you know adores you then you are nothing but an hypocrite and that's not a goodly attribute" she gave a smile shaking her head slowly.
"That means even if they are uncomfortable, they don't have a choice than to succumb since you are superior" she asserted.
Melissa gave a nod. "You are right. They've gat no choice" she agreed.
"May I ask who you are closer to in the company?"
Melissa chuckled at her question. "Thinking of who I work with, I think I'm closer to the president since I assist him".
"You think?" She laughed.
"Didn't you ask a question that you already know? So I'm thinking too" she mocked.
"You caught me there" she burst into laughter.
"Hm hm" Melissa laughed.
"So how do you and the President relate?"
"Quite fine".
Although Amanda wasn't satisfied with her answer, she still let go.
"I'm coming back to that. Viewers, we have to take a break. Well be right back.
"Welcome back. Still here on the show is Miss Melissa O'Dell. The vice President of D-foundation" she entwined her fingers as she speak.
Then she turned to Melissa.
"I got to hear that it was when you got there that the company begin to rate part of top ten in the world. How is that possible?"
Melissa smiled. "What do I know about running a business. Everything I know was given to me by my the sagacious President. I don't take credit for what I didn't do. It was only a coincidence that when I got there things changed drastically. Things is always changing for the company even before I came to view. The owners are lovers of good works. They are so hardworking and God blessed their hand work. My boss does it, while I just assist" she said with zest.
"Hmm, talking about the president. We've heard a lot about Dr Kmetko but can you just tell us in few words about him?"
"With the little time I've spent with him, I've known him to be goodly man, intelligent, hardworking, patient and very disciplined man. He's not as proud as some people think. He's one of the wonderful persons have know and will still know" she rhapsodizes.
"But I do wonder how he do possibly run two big companies at the same time. What's giving him all that invincible strength" she pit her hand on her lips like she was truely baffled.
"Just like you I wonder too. But one thing I know is that, through Christ we can do all things. Moreover, he hates anything calls mistake. That's the reason he works to make it perfect. I myself try to run at his pace so I won't create him more trouble" she replied.
"So how many branches do the foundation have now and how many countries does it exist?"
"As you know, D-foundation is a conglomerate with different services and products involved. Let me tell you the country we exist instead and I think that should be 15 countries where we are dominant of 10 and I tell you we ain't stopping there" she replied ambitiously.
"That's huge. Fifteen? Trust me baby you've taken the world" she praised.
Melissa smiled because Drew always say they've done nothing.
"We've not but that's our aim" she said confidently.
"I heard you are partnering with Nokia? What for?"
"So as to get them brand a phone in our name and we sell out" she replied.
"Wow so soon we are going to have a phone in the foundation's name?" She asked giving an exciting sound.
"It's already at your door step dear. We launch it next week" she replied.
"I can't wait sweety" she said in jubilee. "There was also a news that said you were into fight with one of your partnering firms. Everyone was confused because we didn't get the real gist. Do you mind?"
"I wouldn't say it is a fight but a rejection of bad character" she gave a calm reply.
"Care to share?"
"I was actually the one who went into deal with them. We sealed the deal concluding on the costing but when I travelled they tried to manipulate everything to their own favor. I got to know about it then I took the job from them. If they can do such treachery thing before starting the job what will they do on the job. We must protect the reputation of our company. So ever since they've been posting lies about us especially me" she explained.
"I thought as much" she said with a plain look. "So has this beautiful lady been taken. I mean do you have a fiance?"
"No I don't" she replied.
Amanda didn't believe her. "Is it that men aren't interested or you aren't because I can't just imagine a belle like you not hooked?"
