"Alright. Are you getting off work now?" Melvin checked the time and asked.
Avery hummed in response.
Elliot had just texted her, reminding her to go home.
"Is there anything else you wish to discuss?" She asked.
"Nothing much. Maybe just a chat... If you are in a hurry, you should go! It's not important..." Melvin smiled.
Curious, she asked, "what is it? Go ahead! Elliot's isn't coming to pick me up today so I'm in no hurry!"
"Oh. Why isn't he coming? Busy?"
"I told him not to." She studied Melvin's face and guessed, "is that something you want from me? Money, or something else..."
"Pfftt!" He let a laugh escape. "It's really nothing important... I'm just curious as to why you chose Juliet Sutton to be your assistant. I've seen her resume and there isn't anything special about her. I met her in person this morning as well and she seemed pretty shy. Can someone like that handle the job?"
Relieved, Avery said, "so that's what this is all about! SHe's not as shy as you think. After talking to her, I think she's pretty organized with her speech, so she should be able to handle it."
"What makes you decide to hire her? I want to know what you were thinking, because she's the only one you interviewed and you decided to take her right away. I've glanced through all the resume human resources submitted and any one of the candidates would be more talented than Ms. Sutton."
