"So, how did your meeting with the tax chairman go?" Joan asked Steve later that evening after he got back from work.
"I didn't get to meet with him," Steve replied.
"How? But I thought when you called, you told me that you were at the tax office?" Joan asked.
"Yes, I was at the tax office, I was supposed to meet with him by 4 pm, but do you know that by 6 pm I still haven't met with this man? I had to leave," Steve was pissed that Chima allowed him to waste his time in going over to his office when he knew he wasn't going to grant Steve an audience.
"But why would he do a thing like that? Or could it be that he was tied up in a meeting or something?" Joan asked.
"Nah, I doubt if that was the case. He made me wait on purpose," Steve said.
"Why would he make you wait on purpose? I thought you once told me that you had a good relationship with the tax chairman?"
