Preterition

Retirement day came for the most responsible employee of the company 
Thirty years of waking up each morning at 5:00 a.m. in the morning
Making routinary tasks without stopping except for the lunch break
A surprise tribute was arranged by their coworkers and supervisor
Balloons, flowers and a swiss watch were part of the gifts to Tylor
The ballroom hotel was decorated with exquisiteness and elegance
Tylor was in his apartment dressing up, waiting for a limousine
He was feeling very nervous as he was going to an important event
Meanwhile, in the hotel the music was playing with enthusiasm 
Appetizers, pastries and other delicacies were served in the tables
Tylor arrived with his charming wife to the five star hotel lobby
Hours passed by and the supervisor of Tylor did not arrive to the tribute
The senior chairman forgot one of of the most events of his hectic agenda
A Skype conference amended with success the unintended omission
