< ;(John office );>
John rub both his eyes while yawning only to notice the wrapped food which was placed nearby by his side
he been just focus on his work that he didn't notice he hasn't had breakfast yet unfortunately he wasn't a fan of cold dishes
John stretch while checking on his phone no other messages from Tina after sending her one
" She always always answer my text what happened today "
He became worried he simply dial her number while calling
" The number you are trying to call is unreachable at the moment please try again later "
The AI inform John who dial once again only to receive the same message
" Unreachable ! Let me try her friend "
He quickly Dial her friend number which rang for mere seconds before it was connected
" Hello !! "
A female voice answer dull and yawning
" Mara it's me (John) Tina boyfriend "
He informed calmly
" Oh why the sudden remembrance you never call "
She joked for few minutes but felt something was off
" What's wrong did you both love birds argue again ? If you think am going to smoothie things over after last time then at least pay me in double "
She added already calculating the cash at hand
" No it's not that I just want to ask if you might know where she is ? "
He asked hopefully
" Didn't she tell you ? "
She asked a bit surprised
" Tell me what ? "
He felt his stomach grumble in protest but still held himself
" She went to the federal hospital her ex had an critical accident while filming
she told us she had inform you before heading there but it seems she didn't "
She replied only to realized she had might had put her friend in a tight situation
" She's with her ex again ? "
He asked a bit hurt
" Tina isn't like that maybe she have a good reason and besides she likes you a lot
why don't you wait for her and let her explain "
Mara try defeating her friend only to receive John silence
" Am heading there now "
This sudden decision startled mara who waved her hands though John could not see her
" Don't you trust Tina she loves you don't do things that might break her trust "
She advised afraid at what Tina was going to do to her if she found out she was the leaking water bottle
" Am not breaking anybody trust, I just want to confirm something
besides I been the one who had always been lied to in this relationship I hope you understand "
He said softly with a hint of tiredness
" You sound doubtful "
She pointed out a bit fearful of her friend
" Don't worry I won't inform her it was you "
He try reassure her who pale from his words
" That's not very helpful "
She whin feeling down but could only sigh
" Wish you all the best "
With that she hang up
John sat silently his body stood while calling on Joseph who quickly picked up his call
" Reschedule the interview to tomorrow "
Before he could say more the call ended leaving John speechless
" So rude "
He mummer under his breath but silently waited for the door to slam open with a breathless Joseph who bend taking in deep breaths
" He must had ran all the way here "
John noted calmly
" You want to reschedule what if Mrs Madison change her mind the moment she heard of this sudden change ? "
Joseph waved his hands eyes widen in disbelief
" She won't "
John replied confidently to Joseph who roll his eyes with doubt
after all their company was still new in the market compare to the rest
Their reputation might be respectfully good but that's doesn't mean they were popular yet
Over all (Better choice company) was simply still at the bottom with good name and little opportunity
" Of course she won't even try contacting us again if we try such a thing
Do you know how troublesome it was to schedule this interview with her ? "
Joseph reminded John who finally nodded
" Joseph is right I shouldn't let my relationship life affect that of my work mostly when Mrs Madison is the only ticket in highlighting the company name "
John thought while sighing his head ache from the stress
Watching his boss calmly sat back made Joseph breath out in relief but soon noticed John haven't even touched his breakfast
Before he could even lecture John the importance of eating
his phone beep twice attracting Joseph who read the message excitedly
" Mrs Madison is already waiting downstairs"
" Please lead her upstairs to my office "
.
John instructed Joseph who dashed out not even listening to John
" It's time "
John mummer a bit nervous this interview was going to change everything for the better
His eyes fail on his phone disappointedly Tina had promised to be there for him for this big momentin in his life
but yet again she had greatly disappointed him she rather be with her ex than to stick with him when he needed her the most
His mind wonder to different options on why she did what she did but each sting with bitter truth
The sound of knocking attracted his attention
" Come in "
His voice calm and polite the door was slightly open letting in a middle age lady who was being escorted in by Joseph
John narrow his eyes on Joseph who somehow was already wearing a tie looking formal and clean
" Mrs Madison!! "
He stood watching her approach as they both shook hands firmly
" You must be John I heard so much about you "
Her voice sweet and mature
" So do I pls Do have a seat "
He offered as both sat straight with a table separating them watching her relaxed she was
Mrs Madison was know as a famous reporter among her peers maybe not the best in other big shows
She was also consider the best due to her work as for her appearance
Her facial figure wasn't something worth mentioning the only outstanding thing was her style of dressing which was cool but yet sexy
" Shall we start? "
She smiled warmly at John who nodded calmly
