THE LOVE SHE COULDN'T HATE

Chapter 4

As we enter the auditorium, Mrs. Walker comes. She hugs me and Caleb. "Congratulations to both of you for getting direct placement in Dawson's Consultancy Private Limited", she says with a big smile.

"Thanks Mrs. Walker", we say in chorus.

"Mrs. Walker, many presentations are still left. Why did they take the decision so early?", I ask looking at Mrs. Walker.

"Mr. Wilson is the representing manager from Dawson's Consultancy Private Limited and he told me that he has some important work today. He'll leave as soon as he finds the ones he's looking for. There were only two vacancies and after seeing your performances, he decided to make an offer to both of you. He wants to meet both of you right now. Come with me", Mrs. Walker says to both of us.

It's very weird as usually the companies select candidates after evaluating every student and there are still many performances left. 

We follow her to the conference room. As we enter the room, I see a tall middle aged man and a young woman. 

"He is Mr. Wilson and she is Ms. Grint, Mr. Wilson's secretary", Mrs. Walker says while introducing them to us.

"I am extremely pleased by your presentations and the hard-work that you have put in. The way you presented your slides was highly professional and I feel elated in making an offer to both of you for the position of financial analyst in Dawson's Consultancy Private Limited", Mr. Wilson says while shuffling glances between me and Caleb. 

"These envelopes contain your respective offer letters with all the terms and conditions. Discuss everything with your family and mentor before taking any decision. You can get back to us via e-mail or call as prescribed in your offer letters", Mr. Wilson says while handing over the envelopes to me and Caleb. My name is written on the envelope and so is Caleb's.

"We are extremely thankful to you Mr. Wilson for extending this valuable offer. We are glad that we stood up to your standards and we'll surely revert very soon", I say to Mr. Wilson. 

"Yes Mr. Wilson. This is truly a great opportunity for us and we are thankful that you considered us for your esteemed organization", Caleb says to Mr. Wilson.

He smiles at us and says,"I am looking forward to seeing you both in the office soon. Good luck guys".

"Thanks Mr. Wilson", we say in chorus coincidentally. 

We look at Mrs. Walker and she says,"you both can go back to the auditorium now and fill the placement forms". 

We say bye to Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Walker and leave the conference room. As soon as we exit the conference room, I stop and hug Caleb tightly and say, "we did it Caleb. We are going to be together now".

"Yes Kate we'll always be together", he replies.

We head to the auditorium to fill the placement forms as we have received our placement letters.

The thought is still revolving around my head as to why did they take this decision in such a hurry. It's a highly reputed company so how can they do this. They should have at least given everyone an opportunity to present themselves.

I am also wondering as to why Caleb is not thinking about this because otherwise he's the first one to catch anything as such. Maybe I am overthinking. Mrs. Walker said that Mr. Wilson is in a hurry. He's a very reputed man and is believed to possess great wisdom in terms of professional matters. Maybe he found what he was seeking for, as questioning his evaluation would be foolishness. 

I drive away this thought and continue walking towards the auditorium.

As we enter the auditorium I look around in a hope that I might see my mum but to my disappointment she's not there. We head to the green room.
