The Appointment in Manaus - Pt. 3 (Sophie Miller) (1/2) It was shortly after 10 a.m. All the investors and trading partners were sitting by the long table. CEO of the company, Mr. Gabriel Brown, was nervously walking about, occasionally looking at the clock and murmuring "Where is he?!" All the men were waiting. Five minutes. Ten minutes. Eleven. "Sophie? Would you go find him please?" "Yes, Mr. Brown." I headed to the door when it suddenly opened and I bumped into a young man with beautiful dark-brown eyes. I blushed. He fixed his blazer and looked at me disdainfully. Then he set foot in the room with an eloquent smile: "Good morning gentlemen, I apologize for being late." The star of the day had finally arrived, late and charming as always. I fixed my skirt and stood by the door. "Gentlemen, let me introduce the marketing director of our company, my son, Ing. Edgar Brown!" Then they started talking about computer hardware, inovations, alternative solutions to current problems... Edgar Brown was a man in his early thirties with short dark-brown hair and a smart, sharp eye. Despite being responsible for the succes of the company, he was always late, emphasizing that he is Mr. Big wheel. Everybody had to wait, because they were where they were on account of him. He seemed to behave quite recklessly, but in fact he was very apt and talented. This one was too long, so it's divided in two parts.
