102 YOUR NOT RIGHT FOR THE JOB. (1/2)
Grandma Tan was disappointed that Ann declined to attend the dinner plan at Grandpa Go mansion. However, it does not mean that she accepts the answer. She would find a way to get her there, one way or the other.
' I'll wait when she comes for a visit, and then I'll try again. If need be I'll ask Sophia's or Albert's help in this matter; I would ensure of her attendance.' Grandma Tan face brighten from the thought.

Jeff's not too delighted that he has to leave his wife. He's facing back and forth in his study thinking of a way to delay his impending departure.
”Ronald! are you out there? ” Jeff called out.
Ronald came in absentmindedly, and it seems that he as well is not happy that they are departing in an hour for Korea. ”You called? ” He replied sadness visible on his eyes.
”What? You too!” Jeff chuckle. ” Are all the preparation done? We should be heading out in an hour, make sure you instructed them what they need to do while we're not here.”
”Yes! I instructed them all right! However, I'm worried that someone would try to harm them while we're away and... ”
”And...?” Jeff expression hardened.
”Well! I'm only concern that while we're in Korea, too far away to rush back if needed...” Ronald was contemplating whether he should broach the subject or not.
” Speak up! What you're trying to say is, you think that one of us should stay in case something does happen. Am I right?” Jeff is now emotionally upset, vein-popping out of his neck while scolding him.
” I had been thinking of a way to postpone this trip, but I'm blanking out. Ann needed me right now, and I know that old gizzard would do something and I'm not going to be here to protect her. Ahhhh! It's driving me insane!'
Terror overtook Ronald's face; it did not dawn to him that Jeff might be in much worst predicament than himself. ”Please! accept my apology; It's wrong for me to act this way.” Sadness clouded Ronald's feature.
”Forget it, let get this over with so we can come back right away, the sooner, the better,” Jeff grabs his belongings and walk toward the waiting car to take them to the airport.
The flight to Korea was a success; the Fire Chief Investigator informed Jeff that it was an accident. The Oxygen cylinder that caused the fire was leaking, unknown to the welder that was working at the time. A spark had caused to ignite the fire and had a domino effect with all the cylinder nearby, in turn, created a massive blast that they heard that day.
Once that incident taken cared off, they continued to the next agenda — the suppliers of steel materials. The negotiation was a success as well. They agree to keep the price the same for the duration needed to complete building the contracted amount of vessels.
” Good job! Now, we can head home to be with our beautiful women!” Jeff announced to Ronald.
Ronald: ”.^-^.”
