After eating, they decided to have the conversation.
So what is the call all about? Brian was the first to initiate the conversation.
Okay, it is about my friend, she is looking for a job, remember the last time we met, you said you are looking for a good secretary.
Yeah I do remember
Great! Is the vacancy still open?
Yeah it is, do you have someone, I mean someone good at the job, and I wouldn't want to employ a dumb person you know.
If eyes could kill Brian would have been dead from the deadly stares Anita was throwing at him.
This is my friend we are talking about Brian and I do not have a dumb person as a friend, she is over qualified for the job but she wants to do it anyways because her dream job is not coming forth.
It does not matter what she studied in school, what I want is a competent and reliable person. Although I have a secretary but I can make her my P.A because I really need one.
So you are saying you have agreed to make her your personal assistant, oh my God, thank you so much she won't disappoint you know?
I have not seen her in person but I certainly trust your judgement, I know you will not recommend just anyone for me but even at that, I would still love to test how capable she is.
That is not a problem; I will bring her to your office tomorrow so you can see for yourself and attest to her capabilities. What time should we come?
By 8: pm, you know how much I love it when people keep to time, let her know that okay?
Sure, just do not bring up that your cold demeanor around her please, she can be very fragile at times.
I see, he glanced at his watch....ummm so I guess you have said the reason for this meeting so this is where we draw the curtain.
I guess you are tired of my presence, let me leave you now. she picked her purse pretending to leave the table when he held her in place, Anita, he allowed his voice to perform the magic, you know that's not the case at all, I still have another dinner to attend and it's slated for 9pm, I was supposed to attend that first but I made yours come first, that's how important you are to me okay, so stop saying these things.
It touched her heart when he said that but she did not want to take anything to heart to prevent had I know so she brushed the thought away. It is okay Brian, it would be bad of me to tie you down, I am just been sentimental. I pray your business dinner turns out good. She moved closed and hugged him lightly before stealing a peck. Have a nice evening Brian, she winked at him and left.
Brian just shook his head, he was already aware of how playful and carefree Anita can be. He funded their bills and left for his next dinner meeting.

Back at Louisa's house, she kept waiting forever for Anita to give her a feedback; she kept pacing around her house.
Calm down sis, she will call you, come and have your sit please, Michael persuaded her.
You have no idea Michael; I cannot sit okay, what is the vacancy is no longer open
Can you be optimistic for once, why are you always pessimistic? She will call you and even the job the vacancy is no longer open, another one will come. It is not as though you are under pressure to have a job or has mum said she is tired of taking care of you?
Louisa threw Michael a deadly glare and he kept quiet. You had better respect yourself and keep quiet; last I checked you are not in the right position to lecture me about anything.
Wow! Sis really? I never knew my advice wasn't needed, here I thought I could calm my sister down and she is giving attitude, he was so pissed off, he was trying to soothe her here, he doesn't know why she is just being grumpy as if it's his fault that Anita hasn't called her. I will just leave you to your fate; he was about leaving when Louisa's phone rang
