My day off was going well. I had gone to the gym for the first time in a while. I did my laundry. I had ordered some lunch when my phone rang; it was a video invite from Rachelle. I quickly looked at myself on the screen, thinking this was as good as I was going to look. For now, I accept.
“Sorry to bother you on your day off,” Rachelle said.
“It’s okay,” I said.
“Tristan just called and is on the way. Anything I should know?” she said. This was the first time she was going to meet him, I guessed.
“Haven’t you met him before?” I asked.
“Once but there were other people there at the interview. Plus, I had worked in another city, so I was given the job,” she said, looking up at the door.
“Don’t worry. He never comes up there alone. Usually, you will get a call to meet him downstairs if he shows up.” I said.
“Oh, okay.” she sighed. She looked stressed; her hair looked a mess.
“You should relax. He will see your stress and attack it like a dog to a bone,” I said with a smile.
