The first new employee that Liam hired was of course his secretary.
Rosamund Langley or Rosa, as she liked to be called, was a fresh graduate from Starlight Business University. She had a long wavy brunette hair and a perky body. She had a lively personality and liked to shop. She wasn't a top graduate, she was middling in academics, but she was somewhat smart in a street-smart way.
Liam met her in one of the parties he attended and they both hit it off. After several rounds of drinks and dancing, they ended up in Liam's backseat. Liam brought her to a hotel that night and they had fun the whole night.
The next morning, they parted ways amicably. One week later, he met her in a bar, he had hopped in to get a drink. Apparently, she was drinking away her sorrows after failing an interview in a somewhat famous company. They began chatting and once again ended up in a hotel room.
As she was leaving the next morning to resume her job hunting, Liam was struck with a sudden idea. He liked Rosa. She was fun in bed. And she had a lively personality. He liked spending time with her. So, he decided on a whim and offered her a position as his secretary.
Rosa was initially in disbelief, but after learning his full name and position, she immediately agreed to his offer. What followed was another round of lovemaking. And this time, Rosa was very enthusiastic. She repaid her gratitude to him in a very wild manner.
The next day, Rosa joined MusixZ as Liam's secretary. She wasn't the company's secretary, but his own personal secretary. There was a distinction in that. When Liam moves away from his post, Rosa would follow after him. This was an arrangement that both preferred. Rosa knew that her life was now tied to Liam's and she worked hard to keep his goodwill.
With Rosa's addition to the company, Liam's mood relaxed considerably. With Rosa taking care of most of the trivial matters regarding the company, Liam felt more energized in dealing with the company matters.
He would also sometimes tease her and watch her squirm. It was a fun thing between them. However, after two days in her post, Liam couldn't stand Rosa's conservative dressing style. So, he took her shopping on the third day and let her shop to her heart's content. That night, Rosa opened a new playing style that instantly aroused Liam.
Two weeks later, they were still currently in their running in period. Despite that, Liam was grateful he hired Rosa that day.
Standing at the door, Liam ogled Rosa's shapely behind for a few moments. With a smile, he stretched out his hand and gave a firm smack to her ass.
"Ah!" Rosa cried in surprise and turned to look back.
Liam smirked at her and closed the distance between them. Getting into her inner space, Liam whispered in her ears.
"You have been a bad girl, Lisa. Tsk, tsk, wearing such a short skirt and teasing me like this. Tonight I am going to punish that perky ass of yours, just you wait."
Rosa flushed hearing Liam's words. Her ears reddened and her breathing became heavy. Liam lifted his hand and traced Rosa's chin lightly. He lowered his finger to her neck and traced till her bobbing throat. Just as it seemed he would continue further, he took away his hand and stepped back, causing Rosa to pout slightly.
Liam chuckled seeing her predicament. Ever since Rosa opened the new play, this kind of teasing was common between them. Rosa had a huge power play kink. Liam was only happy to indulge in it. He would often tease her in a similar manner and leave her hot and bothered like this. Then, he would randomly take her to a hotel one day and all of Rosa's pent up desires would be unleashed.
As for doing something in the office, Liam didn't do such a thing. He wasn't clear about the level of privacy in this office. So, he wasn't going to take a chance. It was enough to tease Rosa and leave her flustered like this.
Stepping around Rosa, Liam took his seat and opened the files on his table. The first was the financial report for the month. Looking at the figures, it was clear that they haven't broken even with the operating costs. MusixZ was still running at a loss. There wasn't anything Liam could do about it.
You can't simply change the profit-loss ratio drastically with a few simple changes. At least not in a TV channel. However, MusixZ's good performance last month will start to have an effect from this month on. With consistent good performance and improved ratings, the advertisers will be willing to pay more. With the increase in revenue, things could take a step for the better.
The next one left for him to review was something Rosa had been working on recently. He had asked Rosa to prepare a project proposal for a new show to see if she had any knack for the industry. However, Rosa's proposal didn't make his eyes shine. But, it still showed she had some unique ideas.
"This proposal for a talk show is good. But, it has several limiting issues. One, we aren't big enough yet. Since we aren't big enough, no music company will allow their stars to appear on our show. Two, we can't afford any good artists to appear on our show. The sit and chat type of talk show might look inexpensive, but we can't implement it with our current situation at the least."
Rosa's face fell a bit hearing that.
"But, cheer up. Once the channel grows, we can revisit this idea and see if we can implement them," Liam reassured her and put the file away.
What followed was a bunch of standard reports that Liam quickly went through. There wasn't anything substantial in them, however it was necessary for him to read and grant approval for them.
Once he was done with everything, Rosa had something else to report.
"Liam, while you were in the meeting, someone named Connor called. He told me that he had something to talk to you about and asked you to call back," Rosa reported.
"Connor!?" Liam asked in surprise, while leaning back in his chair.
The chair was a bit hard, he made a mental note to ask Evan to replace his chair with a better one. After thinking for a bit, he recalled who Connor was.
Thinking about it, he didn't have much to do with that guy. Still, since he called, it was only polite to call back and ask what he wanted. He would decide what to do after hearing his request.
Leaning forward, Liam lit a cigarette and motioned for Rosa to call Connor. The call quickly connected and Rosa confirmed that Connor was on the line and gave the receiver to Liam.
"Connor, I didn't expect a call from you. Rosa told me that you wanted to talk to me about something. What is it?" Liam went straight to the matter.
"Ah, it's nothing big. A friend of mine is organising a music festival. A small local one. He is currently looking for sponsors. I thought since you were in the music business, you might be interested. How about it? Do you feel like sponsoring them? It is a small music festival. A 5,000 or 10,000 Anks of donation would be enough," Connor asked excitedly.
So, this guy was here for grabbing money. The last time he grabbed opportunity, this time he is looking for money. This guy really thinks their relationship is so solid. They met once and barely spoke for five minutes, how come this guy is treating him like this.
Liam rolled his eyes and pretended to be thinking. Liam wasn't someone who was new to the sponsorship angle. Sponsorship is done by established brands to grow their market presence. MusixZ was still in the establishing phase. Every little ank must be spent on helping it grow first. The amount was a trivial one, but it would set a precedent. So, Liam wasn't really interested in it.
Just as he was going to voice his rejection, a sudden thought passed through his brain, causing him to stop. He pursued that line of thought and felt it was quite feasible. So, he immediately changed his posture and carefully spoke.
"Connor, can I meet with your friend? I have a proposal that he might be interested in," Liam spoke calmly, trying to control his excitement, not wanting to show his interest on the onset.
"Eh, sure. That's not a problem. Tonight, we have a bonfire party. He will be coming over as well. You can come and meet him. I will introduce you both. But, can I know if you are interested in sponsoring? I don't want to give him false hope," Connor asked once again.
"Don't worry. It could be said that I am interested in that music festival of his. So, he wouldn't fault you even if he rejects my proposal," Liam smiled and remained non-committal.
"Alright, then I will see you tonight," Connor cut the call happily.
Liam leaned back on his chair and took a long drag and exhaled upwards. His mind was once again rehashing his proposal. He found that there was a good possibility for it to be accepted by the other party.
Looking over, he found Rosa watching him raptly. He shot her a questioning look.
"You looked so sexy doing that," Rosa replied with a flush, causing Liam to chuckle.
