Sa day, in the evening. The Bonifacio High Street was a sprawling hub of activity, with its blend of high-end shops, trendy restaurants, and green spaces filled with people enjoying the cool breeze after the day's heat. Michael and Juliet found themselves seated at Italianni's, a sleek, modern restaurant known for its Italian cuisine.
As they looked over the nu, Michael asked.
"Have you made your choices?"
"Hmm…" Juliet said as her eyes scanned the nu, "I think I'll go with the linguine alla vongole. How about you?"
Michael nodded approvingly. "I'll try the osso buco. It cos highly recomnded."
Hearing that, Michael called the waitress standing nearby with a flick of his finger. And as if in a flick, the waitress ca over to their table.
"We're ready to order," Michael announced. "I'll have the osso buco, and she'll take the linguine alla vongole, please."
The waitress nodded, jotting down their orders. "How about for drinks?" she asked, looking between them.
"What do you recomnd?" Michael said as he looked over at the vast selection of
wines and beverages on the nu.
"Our house red wine pairs well with the osso buco, and for the linguine alla vongole, a white wine, perhaps the Pinot Grigio, would be excellent," the waitress suggested confidently.
"Let's go with those recomndations," Michael decided, and Juliet nodded in agreent.
Once their drink orders were placed, the waitress left, allowing them to resu their conversation.
"Mr. Reyes, I am just going to report to you that I have already given our case to our legal team and that I focused myself earlier prior to us leaving the office creating an outline for your new venture, the pharmaceutical company. Can you please take a look at it? I have sent it to your email."
Michael nodded as he picked up his phone. There was a notification of a new email from Juliet. He opened it quickly, scanning through the contents of the outline she had prepared. Everything seed to be in order, and he made a ntal note to give it a thorough review later that night.
"Thank you, Juliet," he said, putting his phone down. "I'll look over this as soon as I can."
Juliet smiled, relieved that he had received the email. "You're welco, Mr. Reyes. Let know if there are any changes or additions you'd like to make."
"Well, it doesn't have a na," Michael observed.
"Yes…because you didn't give a specific na for the pharmaceutical company yet," Juliet replied.
"Right…well how about I co up with one now? It doesn't have to be so complicated yet it must not sound so simple. Hmm…" Michael pondered for a mont, tapping his fingers on the table. "How about 'diGen Solutions'? It's simple enough to rember but also sounds professional and innovative."
"I don't think so," Juliet said. "It just doesn't have the right ring to it. How about 'BioCore Innovations' instead? It sounds more cutting-edge and in line with the pharmaceutical industry."
"No, not good," Michael said. "It's hard to co up with nas. How about we go for simple ones? How about a na similar to our transportation company? Reyes Transportation Company but instead of transportation, it's going to be Reyes Pharmaceuticals?"
Juliet considered Michael's suggestion. "Reyes Pharmaceuticals... It's straightforward and aligns with our existing brand. I think it works."
Michael nodded, satisfied with their decision. "Great. Reyes Pharmaceuticals it is."
"Now that's for pharmaceuticals, how about dical technology? Because as you said, you plan on introducing dical technology and dicine right? We can't have them both together in the sa company na, can we?" Juliet proposed.
Michael nodded. "So two enterprises huh? It's not like it's much of a big deal. In that case, how about Reyes dical Technology Solutions?"
"It's long, how about 'Reyes dTech Solutions'?" Juliet suggested.
Michael nodded in agreent. "Yeah, Reyes dTech Solutions. Short, simple, and it gets the point across."
"Now we are settled with nas, we need to co up with a logo. I'll have it commissioned by a third-party design agency," Juliet suggested.
"Not yet, I have to talk about this with Bridget and Mrs. Estolas. We can't have seen that we are working sothing out and leaving them in the dark," Michael remarked, considering the implications of moving forward without informing their investors.
"Understood, but what if they showed so sort of apprehension or concern about the direction we're taking?" Juliet asked, recognizing the importance of keeping all stakeholders inford and involved.
Michael considered her question for a mont. "If they have concerns, we'll address them. It's better to have their input now than to encounter resistance later on."
"They'll appreciate the honesty and transparency and besides, it's not like they are going to hinder your plan so long as you have the technology to back it up…which you do right?"
"I have it in a safe place," Michael reassured. "I will show it the mont they show an iota of skepticism."
Their conversation paused montarily as their orders arrived, carried by the waitress who took their order.
She placed the steaming plates in front of Michael and Juliet, the aroma of the freshly cooked dishes wafting up tantalizingly.
"Here you go," she said with a warm smile. "Enjoy your al."
"Thank you," Michael replied, returning her smile.
Once the waitress left, Michael and Juliet wasted no ti in digging into their respective dishes. The osso buco was tender and flavorful, the at falling off the bone with each bite. Juliet's linguine alla vongole was cooked to perfection, the clams adding a delicate brininess to the pasta.
As they were about to finish their al, Michael spoke.
"So, about your workload issue. I have decided to get you an assistant secretary," Michael said, addressing the topic they had discussed earlier in the day.
"Really?" Juliet's eyes widened with surprise.
"Yeah…considering how hard your job is, being a chief of staff to , I'd say it's about ti we got you so help," Michael replied with a reassuring nod.
Juliet smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Mr. Reyes. That ans a lot to ."
Michael waved off her thanks. "Think nothing of it. We need to make sure you have the support you need to excel in your role."
With their plates now empty, Michael called the waitress to settle the bill. After paying. They rose to their feet and walked together to the parking lot.
"You'll be the one looking for your secretary, inform when you find one," Michael said.
"Of course, Mr. Reyes."
