“There is nothing wrong with them calling you to tell you that you didn’t get the job, I just thought that they usually send an email for such” “damn it!” I thought. My mother was absolutely right… companies usually send a rejection email, like if they employed one person out of five hundred applicants; I don’t think they have the time to call four hundred and ninety-nine people just to tell them that they did not get the job.

The Rev. Father had a feeling that she would go to the altar of the church to pray the rosary; and even though he knew it was not right for him to trace this voice he let his feelings take control and followed them to the altar of the church.

He leaned back and looked at Tony as if he was scanning his brain for hidden information “Are you serious about your role in IKY Investment Group?” an odd question that Tony did not understand “yes sir, I am ready to do my part to move this company forward” Tony replied as if he was interviewing for his job all over again “then make the call” Anderson commanded.

Biola was aware of his smouldering charisma, she was also aware of all the women falling for him to pick them up just to feel his hand on their skin but she was interested.

“Alright” he threw his hands up and turned to walk away “what do you want me to say?” I asked hopelessly “’I miss you too’ could be a start” he replied without hesitation and I found myself being drawn back into my shell. After another thirty seconds of silence, obviously frustrated by my reaction “alright, I will leave since that is what you want” but he didn’t turn to leave which was an expression to the fact that he didn’t want to leave.
