;it sound like you are making excuses up as you go---and not even very good ones at that!-John
'You're obviously not going to forgive me,so perhaps it is best if you jst ring the agency and get them to send somebody else in my place?-Tin
"No i will give you one chance.What I propose to do is give you a one day trial,and if you do not measure up to the high standards I expect then I will contact the agency for a replacement!-John
'I supposed i cant argue with that!-Tin
even if she didn't like the idea of failing John one day trial,Tin breathed a silent prayer of thank's that he was least going to give her a chance to prove herself,and not simply show her the door as she'd increasingly been expecting him to.
"Now i have already wasted enough time this morning and must get on!we have a busy day ahead,and there are seviral things on the agenda that must be done.with ur assistance I will try to accomplish as much as possible before I have to go an imporatnt appointment at the YOUNGHOTEL with a german client who is also a good friend of mine.he is only in MANILA for two days,and tonight I am throwing a small party for him and some colleagues he want me to meet,In a meantime you can familiarise with the notes my PA left for you.Her office is jst through that door there,and unless I particularly have a need to be private the door between us stays open.Knowing your disconcerting habit for leaving without warning,CHRISTINE,I think that is a sensible precaution under the circumstances-do not agree?'John
staring at him,and realizing that he clearly had very little respect for her because she'd left him the way she had that morning without explanation,Tin knew that she could not make matters even worse by walking out now.
'if that way you want it,then that's fine with me!-Tin -Pushing her feet and finding that her legs were still as insubstantial as tissue paper,Tin made her way toward the door John had indicated,into the office that would possibly be hers for the next fortnight.As she passed him,he struck out his hand and caught her by the elbow.
'What?Her glance was alarmed.
'wala...Nothing!John
He dropped her arm as though touching it some how contaminated him and,feeling her stomach plummet like a stone,Tin move through the opened door and into the stylish,perfectly neat office on the other side....
