Chapter 585 - Cold-blooded, Heartless President

Even though Arlo's guard controlled the maximum customers flow from entering inside, few who were inside were envious of both as even their fights sounded pleasant to ears since there wasn't a hint of anger or discontent in it.

After both arranged everything in the kitchen with Ryan's help, the trio left the sigma to the Harley mansion.

--

The next day they again went to Sigma.

Sky saw a formal mail from Sam asking for a meeting with the business proposal as a subject. Sky accepted the request and added the meeting location as 'Conference room 3, Sigma'

Sky finished her morning meeting and waited for them. Arlo who saw her excited got to know after asking. "What time are they coming? I will send somebody to fetch them." Arlo asked.

Sky smiled and replied, it wasn't required. "I haven't told you how we dealt with Kris Lan...."

Sky explained about how they entered inside without permission from which Arlo got to know how they would come. Then she continued about the rest of the story when Arlo asked. Sky got to know Arlo had gone to his office after she left Kris International. She burst into laughter imagining Kris Lan's expression.

"Hey! What would you have done if I accepted Kris Lan's proposal even if it was pathetic?"

Seeing her expectant gaze, Arlo explained how he chose to cook for her and how Ryan troubled Kris international on his orders and what he did after knowing she wore the dress to the dinner where he was proposing her.

Sky who was leaning on his desk in front of him, kicked his leg hard, "Do you know how much I missed you that day? You left abruptly, I thought you must be ill and called grandmother."

Seeing Arlo's expression change slightly because of her kick, she bent down thinking to check but gave up, "Serves you right! Since you started to cook not because of me but Kris Lan."

He stood up and pulled her near glass wall before back hugging, "I should thank Kris Lan for giving me such an idea. Or else our cold-blooded, heartless President wouldn't have opened up to me."

Both knew well the importance of the kitchen in Harley corporation. "Then what are you waiting for? Thank him." Sky was just kidding but Arlo took out his mobile and dialed Kris Lan number on speaker.

"Hello?" A gentle uncertain voice sounded from the speaker. Kris Lan was in the meeting when he received the call to his private number hence he quietened and received the private number call.

"President Lan! President Smith wishes to show his gratitude for giving him the idea of cooking for President Harley!"

Sky mentioned the aim of the call formally and silently giggled. 

Kris Lan was checking his mobile once to make sure he received the call or he was just imagining then he heard a sincere voice.

"President Lan! I'm really grateful for your idea of proposing cooking. My wife loves to eat whatever I cook."

Sky hung up without waiting for a reply and chuckled. Arlo tightened his arms around her as they talked looking the busy city until they heard a light cough.

Arlo and Sky both checked. Former sat back on his seat, Sky was surprised to see five members in complete formals which she didn't expect.

"See! Didn't I say? Our little president comes here for romancing President Smith, not for working." Peter complained to Sam who rolled his eyes at him. Others ignored.

Sky chuckled and went towards the exit, "I didn't expect you guys to be in formals."

While exiting, she peaked at Arlo, "Mr.President!" Arlo raised his head from file to look at her, "You should consider upgrading the network security."

Sky finished and waved her hand at Arlo and she directed five to the conference room.

That was the first and probably the last time Sky and they talked for three hours in all seriousness. Sam handed her a file as he spoke...

Everyone was serious throughout the meeting and Sky was in her CEO mode, aloof state. Even though they were friends she wouldn't leave a leeway in Harley corporation. And she knew all five were exceptional in their work which was the reason why she proposed to them about the company.

One by one took a topic to explain and started speaking. Their idea was simple yet very complex to be carried out.

Sky heard them completely until the end without asking any questions or doubts. She lightly summarised whatever they told first before she asked her first question,

"You five proposing me to be intrapreneurs under Harley corporation IT department which would venture in Mobile games and application, PC application and games, Web application, Product based application... ... ... Security solution."

Sky listed every domain to which all nodded. She continued "Why not an entrepreneur? Why Harley?" Then she turned to Sam, "Why not Genx?"

By whatever they explained, Sky understood they would work in different fields of IT and software solutions. They would be responsible for development and maintenance and need a group for QA as projects add on in their sector.

Miscellaneous things like they would be working in their current workspace and need only office space for the QA team which they would appoint themselves which won't be hectic on other departments. They might need other departments to support in their respective work.

They don't need a director or a manager for them to handle and they won't be attending the meetings like others but they would submit the report progress every Friday without fail. Sky would have full authority to proceed and decline the project upon checking their proposal or while developing or before releasing.

"Opening a new company and getting a stand in the market need lots of time and we have to work our ass off day and night for that managing every department. We would like to put our time in the ideas and innovation than on the management of the business." Peter responded.

Sam continued, "GenX isn't capable to handle us."

'Sob sob Evil younger brother of the poor elder brother.' Sky thought to herself but she also knew the size of the project was very vast for GenX.

GenX was a mobile and system application company at a medium scale whereas Harley was a multinational conglomerate company and this project wasn't vast for them.

Sky nodded at them in understanding and started asking her questions, doubts about the domains they spoke about. 

"What is your current effective monetization strategy in each domain?" Sky asked.

Even though she knew they were responsible, as a CEO she wanted to make sure their stand and determination before approving.

She listened attentively and would inturn ask a question if there were loopholes and would continue to ask other questions. The last topic was Security which she asked.

"In Security solution, We will get many numbers of clients and you guys can't go to each client for management. A manual or video can't be cent percent effective, so how do you plan that?"
