At last, Cloud9 team reluctantly agreed to let Cletan go but they thought of of giving him a big farewell party on this last day. Sam promised them that he will plan out all the events and inform them by mid next week.
Cletan had seen Sam returning to his work station. He took his laptop and went to Sam's workplace.
"How did your conversation went, Sam?"
"As you wanted.You are free to leave." Sam gave him prompt response.
"Really? That's great. Leena will be so happy. Finally, We both will reunite soon."
"Spare me from your dog food. Where's my reward?"
"I am in good mood. I will convince Christine for renting my room in our Condominium."
"Do as you wish." Sam smirked.
"I knew it.You were constantly talking about long distance relationship between Leena and me. You were not concerned about me. You were just doing this for your own benefits. You even helped me in finding suitable job. Leena could not do it despite her working there for past couple of years.You have your own network in Country N.Your friends and acquaintances are not ordinary people as well but you would not have done this for just anyone.You want Christine to come here and stay with you so you are chasing me away.You chose hoes over bros."
"Cletan, you are getting this wrong.I want Christine to be little closer to me but I would never leave my friends in the difficult situations.Even if you had chosen to stay in this company, I would have done everything in my power to force Christine to join this team.Do you believe me? One more thing, I am moving to my own Condominium over the weekend.The one that I have brought in recently.My sister in law is coming here on Friday night.You pack your luggage and come to my new place to stay with me for a week."
"My sister in law will occupy our current condominium.You are going to convince Christine to rent a room with my sister in law but do not disclose my relationship with her yet.Also, We will call Martha over the weekend to sign a new rent agreement with Anna."
"Bro, your plan is flawless.I will do as you say. Christine will never suspect anything."
"Don't you have anything to do?"
"Argh...I am going to prepare KT plan for Christine."
Cletan was not a fool.This guy acted like a typical boss as exposed his plans. But, thinking about Sam's plan, he is slightly regretting his decision to move to Country U. Sigh,He is going to miss fun. He has never met someone so shameless.Sam would not spare a glance or thought for other people. He always keeps his distance from women . But for Christine, He will do anything to get closer to her.
Cletan unlocked his laptop and found notifications on Skype.There were IMs from Sean, Christine, Ray.Cletan first clicked on Ray's chat window to read his messages.
"Cletan, Don't you think that Lisa should get your role.Moreover, Christine is not interested in On site job.Why is everyone forcing her?"
"Ray, I have resigned from CreativeWorks.Why don't you ask this question to Mark or Sam? They will answer your queries."
Ray was still angry that Mark did not consider Lisa for On site role.He had recommended Lisa but got to know this morning that Christine is chosen.He was annoyed.Christine was not in his good books. She would never go out of her way to please him.That's why, Sometimes, he would ask Sean to assign her difficult user stories but she had always managed to deliver her work on time.Her unit testing was so good that previously , QA team had managed to detect low severity defects in her stories but now, there are no defects getting raised for her user stories.
On the other hand, Lisa has always helped him on his reporting work.She was keeping watch on resources who are "Unprofessional" and slacking in work hours.However, the truth is Lisa was late comer herself. Her stories were never delivered on time.QA team had always complained about quality of her user stories that were full of defects. Ray may find Lisa a suitable candidate for this opportunity but others were not in favour of Lisa.
You never appreciated Christine's good work. You have offended wrong person.Sam will never consider your opinions.In fact, he may do exactly opposite of what you want.He still respects you because Christine is still reporting to you.You will have hard time in future, Cletan thought in his head.
He will ignore Ray's pings for next few days. He does not have time to deal with this annoying person.Next, Cletan replied to Sean's message."All
"Miss Sandra, That's at least 3 months away. We will grab all opportunities to get closer to Sam and will show off in our WhatsApp group.Also,did you thought of Sam as some casual guy who will go on date with just any girl? You are thinking too highly of yourself."Sean was trying to conceal his emotions quite well. When this silly girl would realise that he likes her."I did not meant
"Come and Sit down next to me, Christine. Child, you should have informed me earlier. I have only prepared three simple dishes for today's dinner.Tell me what do you want for supper tonight. I will prepare it for you.""Mumma, Don't tire yourself.You have also returned from office after long working hours. I am fine with these dishes.Look, you have already cooked Pomfret Fish fry and Prawns curry for me."
Half an hour later, Lisa found out from someone that Christine has arrived in the office.Yesterday, She had gone to Ray and Mark to tell them about her grievances.Ray said he is doing his best to convince Mark and Sam.Truth was that he was a coward. Does not he know what Mark and Sam are thinking ? They clearly do not want to give this chance to anyone else other than Christine.They did not even take his recommendation into consideration while finalised other names.He is not brave to fight them head on.He did asked Cletan but he also ignored him.
"I dare you to say that again." No one knew When Ray had arrived. Sandra quickly shut her small mouth and hide behind Sean."Christine, Lisa and you two follow me to Mark's office." Ray pointed to Sean and Sandra while saying this.
"Did she caused any trouble for you or for anyone in the team?" His sweetheart would never go overboard, She might be troubled over on site role and would have done or said something.Mark may want him to find solution to resolve the issue."Sam, Someone bullied Christine today and I have already punished them for you.I assure you that this won't happen again in this project."
It was 7:30 in the morning but Sam was nowhere in the apartment.Cletan could not think of the reason why was Sam still not back from his jogging?Usually they used to go for jogging together.However, last night Cletan slept really late.He was in good mood.His resignation letter was approved by clients and CreativeWorks leadership.He will meet his wife soon.He was talking to her over phone late into night.He knew that he would not be able to get up early so he had sent a message to Sam inform him that he won't come with him.At this time, he heard the unlocking and op
