“A salsa class for singles! Are you out of your mind! That is so not Trisha! But maybe I could take up a hobby, like crochet or something like that.”
“Promise me to take up a hobby where you get to meet other people, you know like human beings.”
Trisha nodded her head. “I don’t want to be with human beings, I want to be alone. But I guess you are right.”
“Or should I get you a Tinder account?”
“Don’t you dare! I am not thinking about dating or men!”
“All jokes aside Trisha. Take control of your life. You know what they say. “You can’t have a rainbow without rain. It is just something to think about. Sort out your thoughts. Try to make yourself happy. Only you can make yourself happy, Trisha.”
Trisha felt her eyes welling up. She swallowed trying to get rid of the lump she felt in her throat. “Thank you. You’re the best boss. I am glad we had this conversation.”
“That is very nice of you to say, compliment accepted’’ Andy said with a huge smile.
“I am going to make some tea, want some?”
“No, thank you. I am sticking to my Mrs. Detox drink, don’t want to upset her.” He lifted his bottle to take another sip.
Trisha was waiting for her tea to be infused when Andy peeked around the corner “Sid from Sid data is on the line. Should I tell him to call back?”
Trisha started to smile. “No, no… I can take the call. It is very hard to get a hold of him.”
Andy raised his eyebrows and went back to his desk. He observed Trisha as she picked up the phone.
“Good Morning Sid, this is Trisha speaking.”
“Hi Trisha, how are you doing.”
Trisha felt as if her heart were to jump out of her body any minute now. “I am doing fine, hope you are doing well?”
“Yes, thank you. I was wondering if you heard from the candidate you were talking about last Friday?”
