Why does anyone need to smoke a cigar in Mall of the Emirates. Drives me crazy.

It really depends on what you do. You can be a company of one and run a thriving business.

Three employees ain't such a bad thing. Of course, the cigar stuff and the CEO business card are totally hilarious!!

So, Mr.

You're complaining about meeting a CEO.

Then, you find out Mr. CEO is not the huge company you're not accustomed to working for.

Go light up the cigar you'd love to light up in the cinema.

Or did you have better plans as CEO's assistant wannabe?

Life sucks, Mr. CEO disser.

Prove me wrong, please.
