"What is it? Is everything fine? Is it about aunty? How is her health now" he poured, asking her questions.
"Alex, it is not about me, by the way mom is fine. I am talking about you. I was so happy for you at last you got a recognition from our boss" she stopped for a minute.
"Kate, what are you talking about? I am unable to understand what you are saying?"
"I was so happy for you at last you got recognition from our boss" she stopped for a minute.
"Kate, what are you saying? Can you sit for a while then you can tell" Alex said.
"Ashley ma'am told me that you will be leading our beach project and she will be announcing it officially. You will be handle a project completely, congratulations" she was overjoyed sharing the news.
"Alex. Alex what are you thinking" she trembled his shoulders
He came into senses "sorry, I was thinking something else"
"Aren't you happy with the news?" You have to give me party" Kate was sharing the news excitedly
"No..no I am really happy to hear this news. Definitely I will give you a party, we will have dinner tonight, make sure to be free yourself" Alex promised her and again in immense thoughts that 'why would she choose him? even though many seniors were there as he is a new employee who joined few months back'
"Alex. Alex see you again lost in thoughts, you can share your concern with me" Kate understood and asked him.
"I am thinking why did she choose me? Many experienced senior employees may hope that they will get the opportunity to lead, what about them? But why me?" all these thoughts occupied my mind.
"Don't overthink, I think you will be appropriate for this project so now enjoy the movement. Regarding our colleagues, they will be happy for you as you have helped them and saved them from that devil many times so don't worry" she cheered him up.
"Thanks Kate, talking to you I am feeling better now or else I am feeling guilty as if I have made some mistake" he thanked her.
"Thanks is not enough, I want a treat, don't forget" she warned him.
"Shall we go tonight?" he asked her.
"Ok, then we will go after work" she replied
"He said then we will meet at the parking and decide where to go"
She said "I have to go now, see you in the meeting"
He replied "bye, see you soon"
In the meeting Ashley announced that Alex will lead the Maple resort project and after meeting everyone congratulate him. He felt very happy and relieved as he thought his colleagues would get angry at him but to his surprise everyone was happy for him.
At the restaurant when they were eating food Alex said "I thought after the announcement everyone gets angry but surprisingly all had congratulated me. Do you know what is the reason"
Kate laughed "we were trying to crack the deal since long time so everyone knows about it and when she announced your name everyone were very happy and glad that their name was not announced"
"I am feeling relieved now as I thought about what others think but it's ok I will deal with it, but clarify another doubt, is it so difficult to handle this project" he was worried and asked her.
"Don't worry you will get to know once you get into it, now let us enjoy food. What shall we eat" she asked him
Both Were immense in deciding the menu and were chatting with each other.
