Gen. Sec: Hey Mr. Dave
Dave: Good Morning Sir; i have actually waited for so long if you could reach me but since i received no feedback, i thought I'd come back and check on it.
Gen. Sec: Yeah, Mr. Dave! It's true we promised to give you a feedback in time due concerning your employment.
Dave: Yes sir, that is why em here sir, I am very sure you'd tried my number but it wasn't reaching because i lost my phone week back, so i'd come to hear for myself.
Gen. Sec: As you can see, the company is in its good state and i am actually not the G.M of this company but thank God it happens that all information pass through my table.
Dave: All thanks to only God. ( He responded hopefully to hear good news).
Gen. Sec: And i really revere you, you know that.
Dave: Obviously sir, thank you very much sir. (His voice moved to the highest pitch as that sound interesting).
Gen. Sec: But me sorry Mr. Dave, there won't be employment for you here.
