Consolation
Trick
"I didn't fire him, he left on his own. What are you asking me to do now?'' Michael asks me with furrowed brows. His voice is cold. I have known Michael for a long time. He has been married to Adina for over fifteen years. He has been a good friend, he accepted me when I didn't have anyone. Adina took me in, when I left home. She was the only one that believed I could be so much more than I was and that is why I will always be grateful to her and her husband but right now, the way he is looking at me is not one that I like.
He is upset with me and he doesn't even have to say it.
This is all my fault. I wanted Jack to quit and now that he has, I am asking him to take him back.
"I don't want him to leave your company. I wish you would give him a second chance."
He shakes his head, probably in disbelief "Does he want a second chance?''
