Lucky??!!

As usual, whenever our big boss from US came to visit our factory in Penang, we will have a non lead meeting.
After the meeting, he will ask one of the staff to draw 6 peoples to have lunch with him. Usually, the new comers will be the “Lucky” ones. Since I’m not new to the company, I thought to myself that the chances of me getting pick is quite slim. I thus, proceed to jokingly congratulate 2 of my colleagues, because the boss will ask a lot of questions during the lunch session. Well, as soon as I made fun of the two colleagues, my name was called out. Oh my god, I cant believe my “luck”. I guess this is karma, when you wish something will happen to others, you will end up getting it. >”<
The driver(if not mistaken, the car is Toyota Estima) drop us off at QB to have our lunch at Pastasia and Haagen-Dazs, Our boss have a friendly disposition and is a fun loving guy. He like to talk and joke with us. Luckily, he didn’t ask me too many question. Anyway, I felt a bit pressure to have lunch with the big boss of our company.
Its incredible that during the lunch, he held out a piece of pizza to our mouth for us to eat. Wait, sure is one piece each for each of us. Maybe, as an Argentine, he is used to doing it in the public restaurant. Even the guy staff also got the same treatment from him. I felt really weird and embarrass. Anyhow, it was such an unforgettable experience.
It was a long lunch that took almost 3 hours. It was fun though. We then leisurely went back to our office and what even better was that we don’t have to pick up the tap Also, I don’t have to worry about finding a parking space which is always the case if I were to drive out for lunch.
