In Bogota at San Pedro university , the director of the university called Alfonso and Caroline for a meeting in his office, when the two came , he told them they were chosen as the best candidates amongst others who had applied for the position of the dean of the university , the problem was only one person had to be the dean of the university.
"However ." He added . "I know both of you respect each other and you would wish well for each other , so I would like to ask , what makes you think that the other should be the next dean?"
"Oh director , do you really think it makes any sense to compliment your opponent ?" Caroline asked .
"It's necessary , am like a judge between you two now . I like to get sincere answers from you both , this can get you several benefits Caroline ."
"Okay sir . I'll go first if Caroline is a bit hesitating." Alfonso found this easy . "I think it would be a good idea if Caroline became the next dean , she can take the university ranking to an international level with her PhD from United States and her experience as a senior doctor at Hospital Britanico in Argentina . Caroline is a great researcher and committed to her work , all she does is impressive for a scientific development in this university ."
"Sounds genuine Alfonso ." The director was impressed . "How about you Caroline , what makes you think that Alfonso should be the next dean of this university?"
"I think the only reasons why Alfonso should be the next dean of the university is the way he handled the issue of the former guerrillas in the university , a good number of students turned up against the idea of having militias in the university, but as a good leader , he managed to calm them down and convinced them that people like them deserve a right to education and his response to the landslide in Choco now ,this all makes him a great leader ."
"It's really impressive from both of you but it's not over yet . I'll update what's next till we get to a decision , so you can leave now for your duties ." He showed them a way out .
Meanwhile in Choco , the work for the day was done , the doctors and the medical students had to go back to Ms Glades house for a rest ,for Ignasia, he wasn't to join them , he parted on his way to his apartment he had rented in town as they went home.
At Ms Glades house , dinner was served , they talked and laughed about many things as they had their dinner , time came when everyone had to go and rest , before everyone could leave . Victor came back from the hospital with a sad face , his mother and Fiona went towards him as he stood in the door way , his mother asked him about Devon , told her that he was devastated with the news about his parent's death .
"I really don't like seeing him in that situation mom , he has always been a cheerful boy ." He sat down on a chair as everyone stood behind him. "Now that he has lost his parents . I wonder whether I'll be able to see his smiling face again ."
"Calm down son . I know Devon is a strong boy , with time ,he will recover from all this ." His mother had her right hand around his shoulder to comfort him.
"Victor . I missed you ." Huria seemed not to know what to say at that moment as she tried to snuggle .
"Not now Huria ." He brushed her off . "It has been a stressful day for me and am even hungry ."
"I have an idea ." Rodrigo thought of something ." How about we go out together and have some fun , we've all had a bad day and more bad days are to come , imagine working in all those dead bodies throughout."
"I think it's a great idea .Victor please , let's go out , you will have something to eat from there ." Fiona tried to convince him .
"Yeah let's go out ." Huria joined her to persuade him .
