Devin withdrew his astonished gaze from the computer screen before him and then cast a slightly peculiar glance at Jack.
"Jack, I didn't expect you to change jobs. But congratulations on becoming the CEO of a company," he said.
"To be honest, Devin, even though the company that hired me has changed, my boss hasn't," Jack shrugged, having come to terms with this reality.
"What?" Devin looked over in surprise, "Did Dave switch jobs too?"
"No," Jack shook his head, "The fact is that my current company is still part of the MCI system, but as you just saw, it also involves Byte Company."
"Oh, that's somewhat complex," Devin raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He and Jack had known each other a long time ago, as they had been colleagues at WorldCom, including Dave, who now served as the vice president.
But then Devin switched to Dell Computer, and Jack went with Dave to MCI.
Now, after a long and circuitous route, the two met again at Dell in Texas.
