THE JOB

Just like a child that had a surprise, he squatted down in front of her and said, "I also got you a job."

Seeing how quickly she sits up with excitement and held his face with both hands, her outburst fills his heart with joy, "True, oh gosh that is so wonderful."

Brent knew she was truly happy but he had to let her know, "You will not get much pay at first but as you learn you earn."

Brent looks at her thinking she might be downcast hearing the salary will be small but she was all smiles, not a bit of disappointment.

She straightens up her shoulders as she folds her legs on the sofa and replies, "Okay, that sounds fair enough, now let's celebrate my new job but what sort of job is it?"

"It's a secretarial job, do you know anything about being a secretary?"

She didn't take a moment to pause, she immediately said, "Nope, but I am willing to learn, I am flexible as long I could get work."

Brent smiled liking the camaraderie and comfort he felt as they converse, with her he didn't have to be careful of what he is saying, she looks friendly and happy.

"That's exactly what I wanted to hear," placing the food on her lap. She was not joking when she said she was hungry.

Brent watched her push aside the meat and eat the vegetables and pie, not stopping to drink anything to help carry down the enormous amount she stuffed on her face.

When she said without a smile on her face, "If you don't want that portion of the vegetables, I will help take that to lighten your lunch box."

Brent looked at her in shock, seeing her box almost finish and he still didn't take a mouthful."Are you out of your mind, just leave my food alone it's my favourite?"

Brent thought she might conduct herself like the other young ladies, but then the thought struck him, she is not like those decorated young ladies, she is poor and simple, and she must be unable to afford a meal like this.

When she said with a frown on her brow, "But you are not eating it, why waste a delicious portion like that when I could appreciate it wholeheartedly?"

"That's because, I was watching you, but I like my vegetables very much, my mom said it is good to have a complete meal."

"Well she is a smart mom and she has a kind son, but just for today let us exchange, you take my portion of chicken and share some of your vegetables and pie with me." Unable to take his eyes, away from her, especially the way she huffs down the portion in her box

"Sorry, this is mine."

"Well, I must truly thank you for a lovely dinner and beautiful company." Hoping her words will soften his heart.

When she rests the box aside after eating the chicken. Seeing how picky she was when she was eating the chicken his heart softens.
