Impressive indeed.
“I’m going to go disseminate the meeting memo. You can go on your lunch break,” Amy says.
“Thanks,” I respond with a wide smile. I head over to the elevators and go down to the ground floor. I head out of the Rex Industries building and catch a satisfying lunch at a cafeteria across the street. My face is still beaming from Amy’s compliments on the notes. And my heart is still racing from shaking Mr. Rex’s hand.

The afternoon passes with me in breathless anticipation for this evening’s status meeting. As 7:00 rolls around, I notice that everyone is still inside of the office on the eighty-first floor. These folks certainly don’t abide to the nine to five routine. Since I have a few minutes before the meeting, I decide to do a little walking around this upper floor of the Rex Building. I notice that there are many cameras mounted on the ceiling so I am careful not to looking too suspicious as I observe the offices. As I walk around, I listen to several people speak in various Asian languages. Then it occurs to me that the Asian markets are beginning to open. Since Rex Industries is a global company, many of the senior level employees have to be able to communicate with just about every market around the world.
7:45 p.m. I gather my stationary and head up to the eighty-fifth floor. The elevator doors open. I make my way over to Mr. Rex’s office and just stare at the huge double doors. Then I look at my watch. I’m a few minutes early. Should I just walk in? Should I knock? I nervously open the double doors and notice Mr. Rex pacing around his office. I’m not sure if he could see me. I just watch this very imposing man stalk around his own office like a caged tiger. For a moment, I just take in his sheer size. Then I notice the man’s really cute round butt. A little smile comes across my face.
“Come in!” Mr. Rex barks as he continues to stalk around his office. The T. Rex’s roar catches me so off guard that I nearly fall over my heels. Mr. Rex looks at me and says, “It’s Vanessa, right?”
“Yes, Mr. Rex.”
The big boss walks over to his desk and picks up several pieces of paper. “Did you transcribe this morning’s notes?”
“Yes,” I say nervously.
“Very extensive work.”
“Thank you,” I say as I smile from ear to ear.
Several other people walk in. I am shocked to see the meeting start with only four other people in the room. The topic of conversation involves a project in Taiwan. There is some talk about delays, which causes Mr. Rex to demand an immediate teleconference with his managing director in Taipei.
A very nervous looking man appears on a large TV screen. Mr. Rex begins to angrily berate the man on the other side of the world.
“Why is the robotics factory not online?!” Mr. Rex demands.
“My apologies, Mr. Rex. We are experiencing a parts shortage from Osaka.”
“You better swim over to Osaka and get those parts or else I am going to have a Managing Director shortage in Taipei!” the T. Rex yells. And I swear, before the teleconference is over, he has nearly reduced a grown man to tears. The meeting continues to focus on the operations in Taipei. Thankfully, my training as a journalist comes in handy as I dutifully capture every important detail that comes out of Mr. Rex’s mouth.
As soon as the teleconference ends, Mr. Rex turns to the four senior execs and tells them to stay on top of the Taipei situation. I watch these four powerful men squirm in their seats. I dutifully take notes, careful to make sure I miss nothing being said. As soon as the meeting ends, the four execs disappear from Mr. Rex’s sprawling office. Several pieces of paper fall off of my lap, I quickly try to gather my notes before I further fuel the anger of the T. Rex. As I bend over to pick up the pieces of paper, I notice the very large shoe of Mr. Rex right next to me. The billionaire
