"The sun in Kansas City is rather glaring!"
John Hartford had just stepped off the train and was looking up at the sun with some annoyance. He usually enjoyed the warmth of the sunlight, but today, for some reason, he detested it.
Perhaps it was because of his mood!
That was the conclusion John Hartford finally reached.
Earlier, he had asked Josh Hunter to call Apollo Chain twice, wanting to meet with Donnie, but the response he got each time was that Donnie Block didn't have time right now.
John Hartford knew that it wasn't that Donnie had no time; he was just waiting for John to show weakness by personally making the call!
As the company's pressures were mounting and A&P's losses growing more severe, John Hartford could no longer bear it. He had taken the initiative to call Donnie. Then, the ever-busy Donnie had time, after all, inviting him to Kansas City.
"Sir, the car is ready; we can go directly to the Apollo Chain headquarters!"
