It Must Be Love. Nicki NightЧитать онлайн книгу.
We need to go. We’ll work through this. I trust that Phil has the farm covered and he’ll keep us posted. We can deal with any concerns that may come up from our prospective clients. Besides, it’s important for them to know that we are able to manage a crisis and still get business done.” Sterling believed in always moving forward.
“If you say so.” Stephan released a heavy sigh.
Just then, Sterling’s phone rang. He hesitated before answering since he didn’t know the number, but picked up anyway. “Sterling Bishop speaking.”
“Ah. Mr. Bishop. Bobby Dale Chandler of Chandler Food Corp here. How are you?”
“Fine, Mr. Chandler, and yourself?” Sterling stretched his eyes at Stephan. “How can I assist you?”
“A good friend of mine, Don Kota, referred me to you. You know Don, right? Kota Enterprises.”
Sterling put a smile in his voice. “I certainly do. Mr. Kota is a great friend and client.”
“That I know. I was speaking to him about help I was looking for and he said I should call you.”
“I’m happy to be of service. Would you mind if I add my partner to the call?”
“Of course not.”
Stephan eased into the chair on the opposite side of Sterling’s chair. He put Bobby Dale on speaker and after introductions, they listened to him speak about the services he sought. Chandler Food Corp was looking to overhaul their entire IT system and hire his company for ongoing IT maintenance of their network.
“We can certainly do that. The first thing we’d need to do is come by to take a look at what you have in place, get a few more details and we can draw up a proposal for you,” Stephan said, sounding much more cheerful than he had minutes before.
“Sounds like a plan. When can we meet?”
“If you don’t mind holding for one moment, we can check our schedules.” The brothers took a few seconds to pull up their calendars and agree on a date that worked for everyone.
“Wonderful! I’ll see you then. Looking forward to working with you gentlemen.”
Once the call ended, Sterling and Stephan slapped a high five.
“See! Despite setbacks we have to continue moving forward.”
“I’ll call Phil to see if there’s any progress at the farm.” Stephan stood and headed for the door.
“I’ll see what’s happening with the utility company and check in to see about our customers who are being affected.”
Despite being in the middle of their current crisis, Sterling felt better. They had a promising prospect to meet with today and now a major new prospect that also happened to be the company of the woman who recently infiltrated his curiosities. Sterling made a note to call Don, who was also his mentor, and thank him for the referral. It looked like fate was helping him get a little closer to Jewel after all.
With his brother at his side, Sterling jumped headlong back into the situation, striving to lead the company out of the problem they were facing. They ended their day with a visit to their sever farm to make sure their systems would continue working through the night. Damage to the electrical lines and transformers were still being repaired at nightfall, even though their company originally estimated it to be a few hours. News cameras captured every angle while reporters updated the public on all developments. As frustrating as the situation was for the brothers, Sterling excelled under pressure, feeding off the energy it generated. By the time he made it to bed some time in the wee hours of the morning, he felt exhausted, but also accomplished and excited about the upcoming meeting with Chandler Food Corp.
