As he strolled down the corridor, a contemplative air surrounded him, each step echoing the cadence of his wandering thoughts.lost in contemplation , his furrowed brow and distant gaze hinted at a mind of entangled in a web, Despite the desire to relish the golf course, he found himself caught in a mental whirlwind of various thoughts, acknowlegding the looming task that demanded his attention. In the midst of his contemplation walking down the corridor, he accidentally bumped into somone.
"I'm so sorry" he quickly added, realizing his mistake, "are you alright?"
Offering a friendly smile she replied "i appreciate your concern, it's just a bump, no harm done,"
She wore a stylish golf outfit-a well-fitted polo shirt, sleek golf pants, and comfortable yet chic shoes.Her hair cascaded in glossy waves that caught the light with a subtle sheen, She wore a rich hue of lipstick giving her a sophisticated and confident look, with subtle accessories and confident posture she exuded a mix of athleticism and grace.
He greeted her with a smile, genuinely appreciating her appearance. Who are you playing with? Friends? He asked with raised brows.
Yes, with friends.she answered, I see you also came to play?
Unfortunately, i'm just here in conversation-no golf clubs for me…
She chuckled saying apologies for my lapse in manners. I am Sarah Miller. With a friendly smile, extending her hand for a handshake. Andy reciprocated the smile and warmly shook her hand, "nice to meet you! I'm Andy Peter".
Oh, you mentioned not having golf clubs. Would you mind joining us for a round tomorrow? Smiling, he said "I appreciate the invitation! I'd be delighted to join your game. "Why don't we exchange contact? I'll share mine first –what's your number?"
Sarah handed her contact information to him with a friendly smile eager for their upcoming game.
They parted ways, each with their own plans.
Andy, sensing a stroke of luck in his investigation, felt on top of the world, as if the heavens had lent their support. Experiencing unprecedented luck in his case, he couldn't help but think this might be less challenging than anticipated. Leaving the golf course, he hailed a cab to take him to his hotel. Arriving at the hotel,he headed straight to his suite and he pulled out his small pen recorder, now all I need to do is jot down everything in here. Examining the contact information Sarah gave him, he noticed her company "SerenScape Solutions" Intrigued, he decided to check her social for anything, maybe something might catch his attention. finding nothing noteworthy in her socials, he decided to set it aside and unwind with a relaxing bath. Before that he called for room service for a simple lunch accompanied by a nice bottle of wine,as he hadn't eaten yet. Stepping out of the bathroom, Andy noticed several missed calls from Mrs. Cody on his phone. With his food now delivered, he chose to prioritize his meals before returning Mrs Cody's calls.
Meanwhile, In Willow Springs, Mrs Cody paced anxiously in her office, today adorned in a tailored white suit, her demeanor reflecting a sense of urgency. Wondered aloud, " I've given him 24 hours. Why hasn't he called me to update me on his findings?" Anderson responded, "ma'am, it's not yet 24 hours. He might still be working on the investigation".
Mrs. Cody sternly interrupted,"Enough, Anderson."
Apologies Mrs. Cody. he bowed his head. Walking away to attend to work, respecting her need for space.
"And where are you going"? Anderson!
"I'm heading back to my desk to handle some pending tasks," Anderson replied, acknowledging Mrs. Cody's question. I didn't instruct you to go.
Apologies, ma'am I'll stay here and remain available if you need anything.
Mrs. Cody repeatedly glances at her wristwatch, monitoring the passing time…..
Andy's call came in right at 1pm on the dot… She swiftly answered the call, "Hello?" He proceeded to share the details of his findings. In the politest tone he could muster, Andy conveyed, "I'll provide the next update. Please refrain from calling: I need to focus." then he ended the call …. Furious, she muttered, "what insolence!" "such disrespect" feeling frustrated as she walks to her desk "I wish I could get someone else" Anderson attempted to calm her, emphasizing that "we agreed to work according to his terms" and so far his terms are not so bad. She gazed at him and asked, "whose side are you on?"
"I'm on your side, ma'am, Anderson assured her.
