Client's visit + Big boss's son
Yesterday Marie Laure (Lancome Marketing) came to our office. Heard her name for a long time, first time to see her. Quite charming, younger than expected. She did most of the talking (almost non-stop) for 2 hrs. I dropped down what she said, need to follow up and give a recap to my agent. Sometimes I was out of my mind, Francois knew it... Anyway, it's a good thing to meet a client in person.
Learnt this morning that Big boss (older) lost his only son. They were in Bali for vacations, the 11 yrs old son got drowned in the swimming pool. Big boss has only one son and 2 daughters. It must be a serious blow to him. He's already 50 sth, I don't think he'll have another son. Wonder when he'll come back to work. Both big bosses are away because of this tragedy. What a hard time. The Christmas party might not be held this year I guess.
Actually I smelt sth wrong - Mary the secretary bursted out crying a few days ago, and she ran into Thomson's room. The French chatted in low voice and looked solemn these days. And Yesterday Stanley (the designer who left our company 2 yrs ago) called me suddenly, saying that he learnt from his French wife that sth happened to Big Boss's son, he asked me which boss...
My boss said he was a great kid and the Big Boss was very proud of him. How could he get over it? Will it be a wound in his heart that bleeds perpetually?
