Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. “Shut up! I’m not lying. And right now, when I don’t know if I got rejected or selected for the job, I don’t want to talk about that man.”

Now that caught her attention and then I gave her a brief of everything that happened since this morning and all she did was laugh at my misery, wishing me luck with Mr. Fart Cooper.

“So? What good news are you going to give me?” I asked Warner, taking a bite on the pizza he’d brought for us for dinner.

“You tell me first. How did your interview go?” He chewed on his piece.

My shoulders lifted. “Peachy. The first one got canceled and the second one was horrible.”

“Why? What happened? Your CV is excellent. Everyone would want to give you a chance,” he stated.

“Thanks. But Mr. Cooper wasn’t everyone.” Shaking my head, I explained everything. Except that creepy man I bumped into.

He laughed so hard he choked on his food.

“That’s not funny! I’m concerned about my whole career here.” Giving him a glass of water, I glared at him.

“Sorry! It’s just I still can’t believe he farted in front of you.” He chuckled, wiping the tears he got from laughing his ass off. Seeing my serious expression, he sobered up and smiled. “Don’t worry, Em. They will definitely get back to you soon. And trust me, the job will be yours. I know it.”

“I hope so. Anyway, will you tell me your good news now?”

Setting the glass aside, he sat straight. Though his eyes sparkled with exhilaration, he seemed hesitant. “You remember I applied for a job last month?”

I nodded.

“Well, I got accepted to work directly under the general manager there.”

“What? That’s amazing, Warner! Congratulations!” Leaping up from my place, I gave him a tight hug.

“Thank you. But there is another thing…”

Pulling away, I studied him. “What’s it?”

He scratched his head. “This company is in Seattle. So, uh, I’ve to go there and join next week.”

“Of course you should go! Why are you so hesitant about it?” I queried.

He huffed. “That means I’ve to go far away from you, Em. And I can’t do that.”

I grabbed his hand. “I know how you’re feeling. I will miss you too. But just because you will have to shift to another city, you can’t miss this opportunity. It’s always been your dream to work at that company. And now that you finally got the chance, you should definitely take it.”

“But I can’t leave you here alone…”

“I’m not a kid, Warner. I can take care of myself. And we will talk every day, don’t worry. Just pack your bags already!” I punched on his shoulder, making him laugh and engulf me into another hug.
