Fall into you

Chapter Six : Cami

The all important call came two days later at a most inopportune moment. Cami was in the shower When her mobile blipped. She knew it was about the job simply because of the awkward timing of the call. Without a landline, she was forced to rely on her cell. She pulled a towel from the rail and rushed out to fish her phone from the depths of her bag, needless to say she was a second too late. Hating the feeling of dread in her soul she back dialed the number, which fortunately had been a mobile.

"MacMann!" A resonant male voice purred down the line."Camille Lawrence, you just called me?""Yes, the job with Global Tours ..."

"Oh, yeah," Cami tried for nonchalance, but it came out strained."It's yours. It's my agency and I like to tell my staff important news, personally. Welcome aboard Cami, you start next week." Silence filled her mind, she simply did not know how to respond. Her future boss had dumbfounded her. Fortunately, he had also disconnected letting her off the hook, literally. She stood dripping all over the dark wood floors of her apartment, assimilating. Then, she let out a whoop and did a crazy haphazard dance right around the room. She had been somewhat hopeful, but deep within herself she had not believed she could ever be quite as lucky as to get such a wonderful position.

Within minutes, however, her phone rang again, this time Cami scooped it up with enthusiasm."Cami?" Allie's distinct voice inquired. Breathless from her excursions, Cami felt her mood dip. She guessed that Allie was calling to tell her about her misfortune in the job department. "Yeah! This is she," she replied needlessly."I got the job, sorry, Cami, but remember I promised to let you know. " Wow, perhaps MacMann had hired them both. "Me too, Allie, me too." "That's amazing, I wonder if we'll be working together?" "Probably, from what I understand they have a lot of branches, but only one legal department, which is at head office." "We'll celebrate with lunch then at the classist restaurant we can find nearby. We'll do it on our first day. My treat. What do you say?" Allie was breezy. Light with heady pleasure at their joint fate. "Sounds good to me. I’ll find a nice place and book." That decided Allie rang off leaving Cami with a good feeling. This job was a new beginning, she was determined to make a success of it.
