meeting with Mr Nair is canceled. his wife is in the hospital.

did he give more details?

his assistant is a bitch. she communicates like she would die if she typed more than four words

okay, remind to make a personal call and inquire about his wife's health

okay

so, are you free?

why?

i wanted to ask you something

you've got me too curious now. guess those unanswered emails will have to wait

what's up

what's your dream?

huh?

your dream?

why suddenly?

i usually ask this question in the interview but i never asked you. i was just wondering

oh

my dream... is to keep learning and teaching. i want to never stop learning new things — be it art or a skill or a trick. i want to learn, master it, and teach it to others. I'm on the road to it, you know. i attend workshops, get certified, teach, earn and repeat. all my money goes to those workshops

it's all about the experience for me. i'm always open to learning. that was one of the main reasons why i accepted the job. i've never been an assistant before and probably never would have if not for you luring me in with your bet. i knew this experience won't come again so i grabbed it

and what did you learn so far?

tbh, i regretted in the beginning. you were cold to me and i couldn't read you. it was frustrating because i always get through to people and you were like ice. the others in the office were very nice to me tho. that kept me going. and of course, the money and the chance to prove you wrong.

then, i got used to it. and i understood you bit by bit. you are not that deep, actually, but you pretend to be. you are as open as you can be but it takes a while for others to recognise that. i know that now. and now that i do, my job feels easy. i know what you want, when you want it and how to deal with you. i can sense your emotions even with how little you show them. surprisingly, working with you has become the easiest of all my jobs.
