On his way to the company, Chris' car suddenly developed a fault and broke down instantly. Chris came out of the car to see if he could do anything to revive the car but all his efforts were futile. At once,he set out to look for a nearby car mechanic that could help him get his car fixed. At last,he found one at an opposite car mechanic workshop.
Chris briefly discussed with him after which they exchanged mobile numbers. He told the hungry-looking car mechanic that he was going to come later for the car as he was in a hurry to get somewhere. Meanwhile,he gave the car mechanic half of his payment so as to prompt him to work accurately and hastily.
Afterwards, Chris left and waved down a cyclist to take him to the company. By the time Chris got to his destination,it was rather some minutes late.
Just as Chris got down from the bike which halted by a pool of lagoon,an overspeeding car passed by and splashed some mud on his cloth and got it stained. Chris screamed and cursed the reckless driver under his breath.
Chris managed to walk into the company that way as he couldn't start returning home to change his outfit. A moment or thereabout, Chris was ushered into the Company Manager's office.
"How may I help you, young man?" a bespectacled middle-aged man quizzed.
"Good morning sir. My name is Johnson Chris. I am here for the job application interview."
" By this time? you can't be serious!" the Company Manager exclaimed.
" I'm so sorry sir. Honestly, It wasn't intentional. Please pardon me"
" Pardon you? Aside not being punctual, damn, you look disgusting with what you are putting on" the Company Manager blurted out with grimace.
" Actually sir,I was involved in a sort of domestic accident." Chris said defensively.
"Look here young man, I cannot condone all these silly excuses of yours. You are so unbelievable and I can't allow you into this highly esteemed Company. I'm sorry, you've lost the opportunity" the Company Manager thundered.
"Ah sir! You can't do this to me. I can swear with my life that all I have told you is nothing but the truth" Chris pleaded on his knees.
" I need no melodrama display here. Just go elsewhere and submit your proposal. You could be granted job offer there with your whatsoever but not here, at least not when I am still active. Please leave my office before I call on the security agents" the Company Manager threatened.
