The call from Angus came at 5pm as Jordan was in a taxi heading back to the hotel. “Hi Jordan, Angus Henshaw here. The board has agreed in principal but wanted to add some stipulations”
“And what would they be?” Jordan was cautious. These stipulations could be totally unreasonable.
“My uncle wants to meet with you tonight”
“And?”
“No that’s all”
“Well yeah! That’s great! We have a contract?”
“Almost certainly”
“That’s fantastic! Where do we meet? Do you want us to return to your offices?”
“No. We actually have a charity dinner on tonight. A black tie event for our homeless peoples charity. Uncle will be there. So will I and Cheryl. I will make room on my table. Do you have appropriate attire?”
“Black tie? Probably not”
“I can get some gowns sent to your hotel. I’ll get my PA to get onto it straight away. What size are you both?”
Several minutes later the details were sorted out. Angus had switched Jordan to his PA, by name of Casey. Two gowns would be delivered by 6.30 and a car would come to pick them up and take them to the event at 7.15. Jordan just had to hope that Angus’s PA had good taste.
She then rang Sam to tell him the good news.
