Not skilled and competent but I would gladly help where my power could reach

It is not much of a task, just that I picked your resume and you had a pleasant record not withdrawing the facts that you were a first class candidate you also volunteered in Incheon airport a first class world renowned airport it is actually not a simple achievement

Thanks for the flattering all I did was to study

My daughter studied in Corning University, she also came out with first class, she was not accepted in the volunteer project. I asked to meet you because of, he pause for a while standing up and moving close to the window, this airport was founded by my late grandfather Luis Robinson and passed it down to my late father Alfred Robinson both of them did a lot of significant things in the airport, now is my turn I have been the President of this Airport for 20 years now maintain high standards and advertising it, but haven’t done anything remarkable to go down the history with, I have come to decide to make it (the airport) an international Airport, how does it sound

It is great

You guys are really leaving me out these days to be honest

Hey Annie you getting worked up Ruthie said

After few games they turned to Annie and asked her

Would you go back to Claire if you had a chance to, Bubba let the cat out of the bag

Waww so this was what you guys have been sneaking around I taught you had a better gist or some good stuffs

We are serious about this to be exact Claire is in the hospital and refusing to get treated she says until you forgives and takes her back and her illness is becoming more deadly daily, Tina said drawing closer to Annie

Baby girl we all knew she did you bad but the matter at hand needs to be solved Ruthie added

You guys have been going behind my back to communicate with her when you all knew fully well how I loathed her, she stands up picked her bag Am off from here

Annie! Annie!! Annie!!! Ruthie shouted grabbing her hand, you shouldn’t leave Claire think about the good memories

There are good memories thou the bad ones kept surfacing when I hear her name, do you guys think that I really want to break up with her she breaks down and starts weeping

We all knew that Claire never did the right thing but just forgive her or just pretend to forgive her and visits her so she can start receiving treatment Tina said patting her head

I don’t think I ever told you guys what Claire did that why you girls are asking me to help her she stands wipes her face and sits down

We heard the story when you guys broke up didn’t she cheat on you that’s not even enough reason to breakup with her though

I have really had enough of those trash you guys kept saying I thought I should just keep it to myself cause am gonna forget about her soon bur as the say truth are never hidden they must surface she turns to Tina and said if Naomi ever cheats on you and claimed she has never loved nor touched any girl how would you feel

Am really going to be mad turns to her girlfriend holding her I hope you won’t do it

Of course I won’t do that don’t you trust me

I do. They hugs each other interlocking eyes and almost on each other’s lips

Yah! Ruthie shouted let go of each other, we aren’t here to hear your story Annie what really happened am curious

It was on a weekend I went to her house as usual bur I was astonished my eyes couldn’t hold what I had seen she fumes with anger she was having threesome not just that she is a bisexual someone that told and claimed she never had s*x and I was her first plucker. Even if I was her first she did a lot of s**t to me she told her parents I coerced her in to doing it I was literally angry I forgave cause that’s what love is all about but not denying me in front of her friends and making a fool of out me am not a stupid girl or someone that can be treated as trash she sighed and waved her head you all know am all about Dignity and Pride but she stooped me low and stomped on my head, she grabs a bottle of beer and gulped it down

Baby girl don’t be sad, that’s life things don’t always go as planned Bubba said, we are literally sorry for making decision we don’t know anything about it she taps others guys cheer up, grab your glasses let make a toast, they click glasses and drank
