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 the best Cletan, I am so happy for you Senior. Are you visiting home in Christmas vacation?" Sean had sent him wishes for his new job.
"Thank you Sean. I don't think I will come this year given that I am switching jobs now. "
"Hmm,Understood. I have informed Christine to contact you for Knowledge Transfer sessions.I am not assigning her any user stories for this iteration.She may not be able to work.There is so much paperwork that she may need to complete before coming there."
"Christine has already pinged me on Skype. I will arrange sessions with her."
"Anything else ,Sean?"
"Nope.That's all I had.See you later."
Cletan clicked on Christine's chat window. He read the messages that Christine had sent to him so far.
Christine: "Cletan, Ping me back when you are free.I want to discuss about our sessions schedule with you." Cletan started replying to her.
"Sweetie, I had told you before that we are tied together by fate. I took sessions from you when I had joined this project for on-site role. Now, I am going to transfer my knowledge to you on the modules that I am currently handling.Actually, you don't require session from me."
"Yeah, You are absolutely right.I am also not interested in coming there. Inform Mark that We both are not going to do KT sessions."
"Sweetie, why are you always so serious? Relax, I will email you our schedule for sessions.I am just creating placeholder meeting in our calendar but we need not have to stick with this time.You will be super busy these two weeks.Tell me your availability and will adjust the session accordingly."
"Cletan,Tell me the truth.Who had suggested my name to Mark for this role? Was it you or that Sad guy?"
"It was collective decision so don't blame me or Sam.You really deserve this opportunity.Let me tell you that Sam is not a Sad guy.In fact, you will find him nice and approachable.Don't be prejudiced against him.Stop thinking about rejecting this role.This is done deal.These people won't be listening to your lame excuses."
"Alright. It's almost Lunch time for you. Shall we start our session once you are back from lunch break?"
"Sure Cletan.One last time, Is there really no other way of rejecting this role?"
"No other way.Enjoy your meal. I am going to grab cup of coffee for myself."
—————First floor Cafeteria————
Sean and Sandra were already in Queue when Christine entered Cafeteria.
"Christine, What took you so long ? I was about to call you."
"Sorry guys, I was chatting with Cletan. I have knowledge transfer session after Lunch break."
"Did you place your order on the App?" Sandra enquired to Christine.
"Yes, Babes. What did you guys ordered?"
"We both have ordered Green Peas pulao, Chicken Ghee roast , Cucumber Salad"
"I have ordered Chicken crispy with white Rice ,Veg Russian Salad and Chicken Manchow Soup."
Soon, It was their turn to collect their orders from counter.Today,they were very lucky. Cafeteria was not so busy unlike other days and there were not many people inside cafeteria so they didn't wait for too long before they found 3 empty seats in one corner.
"Girls, Lets chat while we finish our lunch.Guess who all are going on-site in next couple of months."
Sandra spoke first- "Well , we know Christine going for sure.Earlier today, you said I am going too. Who else will be going there?"
"Well, My name is in the list too.I am going there by next month end before you.Christine, we both will have lot of fun and will take many pictures.We will share them on our WhatsApp group."
"Yeah, How about we taking Selfies with Sam?" Christine was taking her revenge on Sandra for disclosing their secret.
"Christine,You are a bad girl but I think it is an great idea.We should meet Sam and should capture our selfies with him, Post it on WhatsApp."
"Hey,You both are planning to torture this poor girl.How long you can do that me, huh?" Sandra became angry. How can these two do this to her?
"When I get a chance to work at on-site, I will go on romantic candlelight dinner with Sam. Will Sam find me annoying person and avoid me if I ask him out?" Sandra's thoughts were running wild.
"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

"Kylie, listen to me carefully.I have two approaches to resolve your issues. You decide which one you want to use but I will suggest using first approach that will not degrade performance of our application. At the same time, Second approach may resolve your immediate problem. But looking at the existing code in your classes, if you use second approach then we may need to refactor your main class in the future. It is becoming more complex day by day. Think about this carefully and let me know if you still have any questions."
