Embarrased

The hotel lobby was posh: no sunlight but well lit by lamps. Good light brown woodwork and stainless steels all around. A short metro carriage actually runs through this place carrying exceutives.

I am well dressed. Charcoal suit, ties, black shoes and ready to charm any crowd.

But I forget where I leave my business case (with laptop). I stop the metro and tell them that I need to check for my bag in their glass bag carriage(exclusive). I find all sorts of bags except mine. I doubt whether I have brought it with me to this (country?) at all. I don't like to keep others waiting and so I let the metro move....Mr. Nice guy. It moves quickly and almost out of site when I realize now that one of my (expensive) shoes is missing! I must have left it in the cabin while looking for the bag and the metro train has left. Oh! God!

What am I going to do now? How will I face (them)? I will look like a fool. I have to be ready before the meet. I dont have spares too. I am imperfect.
