Stop being an escapist!

Feeling dubious, Anna knew she had to ask, ‘’Why I’m having a bad feeling about that ?’’

‘’Why would you say that ?’’ His eyes staring down at the paper.

‘’Because you let go quite easily.’’

‘’Are you indulging to know me more than myself ?’’ He was impressed. She turns out to be a good observer as well. What is she hiding next upon her sleeves. He pondered.

‘’No but i might add as much as i’ve known you, you don’t easily give in.’’

‘’Maybe i’ve changed.’’

‘’In one week ? WOW !’’

‘’Actually its been one week, six hours and twenty minutes.’’

‘’Quite roguish.’’ She felt a shiver ran alongside her arms.

‘’My point is, the world can change in a blink of an eye, so who am i to judge ? Shall we ?’’

She nodded.

‘’Miss Annabelle Mathews, i have a few questions that i would like to ask you but first introduce yourself.’’

‘’In a very vivid detail, I’m from a small coastal village, thirty minutes from here and i’ve joined the

company since april 24th 2016.’’

‘’That was quick.’’

‘’That’s my motto. Ask straight and give a straight answer.’’

‘’So i take it you don’t like when people beat around the bush.’’

‘’It annoys me. I prefer if someone has something to tell me,its better if he dare say it on my face. It surely avoids misunderstanding at best.’’

‘’That’s quite an interesting attitude. And its true somehow.’’

‘’Like i said.’’

‘’How did you join the company ? I mean what pushed you through ?’’

‘’Well i have to admit i’ve always wanted a challenging job. And what could be more challenging than to meet new faces everyday ?’’

‘’Enlighten me.’’ He frowned.

‘’The challenge of convincing people is quite a fascinating one. I mean when you try your best to convince someone, and you finally see it worked, a sort of frenzy just took over you, enhancing you to move ahead. And open new doors to new opportunity.’’ It worked. Because here she was !Giving an interview for a better job position. Hope her past doesn’t ruin it for her . She would hate it. “And just watching these people smiling and enjoying their time as well is really enhancing. It gives me the strength to see myself in a better future as well.”

‘’So you like what you do.’’

‘’Yes.’’

‘’How do you feel about this promotion ?Can you handle it ?’’

‘’I won’t lie, but I’m definitely a bit nervous, considering I have to train my colleagues as a superior now and not just as they know me. I am a bit confounded.”

‘’Might I add something to it ? it’s better if you don’t mingle with them that much now. This might affect your post. They might not take you that seriously. You get what I’m trying to project ?’’

‘’Yes, I should come up with an idea for that one. But that shouldn’t mean that I shouldn’t speak to them.’’

‘’I’ll leave that one in your capable hand, you would know best how to handle that ‘’He paused and then finally stared back into her eyes. ‘’ How do like to spend your free time ?’’

‘’Excuse me ? But I don’t see how this question matters at the moment.’’

‘’It does, as a matter of fact. I’m trying to figure out how would you deal with your customers and students. And just to be clear, you should have been the one to answer that at first when i asked you to introduce yourself.’’ His face hardens.
