Friend's Irresistible Invitation
I got an unexpected invitation from a close friend whom I never heard of for quite a while now because of our busy schedules. So when I received a message from her inviting me over lunch for some business opportunities she wanted to share with me, I did not hesitate for a second and accepted the invitation. We agreed to meet in a restaurant near her workplace so that it would be convenient for her. When I met her, I learned that she was on leave from work for 2 months because she's on a vacation with her boyfriend. They had a Caribbean tour for two weeks hopping from one country to another. She talked about her pleasure trip and even told me that her boyfriend proposed marriage while they were on board the gondola ride. I knew how romantic it was and for sure the boatman serenaded them while her boyfriend made the proposal. How I wish I could go to those beautiful places myself. I got so excited and engrossed with her stories that we lost track of time and I almost forgot the main reason why we met. So after all the stories she narrated, we got down to serious business. She told me that her fiance is planning to expand his business in our area and that they are looking for partners who can manage it. The nature of his business is mobile document shredding and that they are using document shredding phoenix devices which are on top of the market. She also mentioned that they cater topnotch business establishments in their area and they already have a proven track record. They are planning to start it by the end of this year and she's eyeing on me to run it. I told her it's a good opportunity, but I have to think about it first. I promised that she'll hear from me in a week's time. I went home so excited for the new opportunity and also for my friend who's getting married soon.
