Me:
Hello, Maam. May I have a moment of your time?
Big Boss:
Ah, Kat. I hope you've come to bring me good news. I had a good day today, and I'm not really in the mood for bad news.
Me:
Oh. Heh. I should excuse myself then...(Nervous laugh)
Big Boss:
You've decided to leave.
Me:
It was a difficult decision to make, but, yes.
Big Boss:
Well I hope you're not disappointed.
Me:
Oh, well, no. I've made great friends here.
Big Boss:
No I mean in your new place.
Me:
Oh, yes. Well, I must try my luck. I suppose at my age it's alright to be a dogsbody of some kid.
Big Boss:
Well it's one thing to be a dogsbody, but you know these international companies, they don't get to pitch for their clients. It's served to you on a silver platter just because they're clients elsewhere.
Me:
Yes. Well. I will let you know how it goes.
Big Boss:
Please do.
Me:
Respectfully, though. I do have a genuine affinity for the brand, for what Sime Darby is and does. I do hope to return one day.
Big Boss:
Ah.
Me:
I didn't rehearse that.
Both:
Hahaha
Big Boss:
Well I suppose it's a nice place to retire.
Me:
No, no I mean I'd like to come back after I've packed a few years of experience and contribute. Serve, as you will.
Big Boss:
Ah.
Me:
And I will miss everyone here.
Big Boss:
Yes, I believe this place has evolved to a good place, if you consider the challenges.
Me:
I have to thank you for the opportunity.
Big Boss:
Well I wish you'd stay. But if you've decided.
