15 Let me apply an ice pack on your injury.

"Kylie, listen to me carefully. I have two approaches to resolve your issues. You decide which one you want to use but I will suggest using the first approach that will not degrade the performance of our application. At the same time, the Second approach may resolve your immediate problem. But looking at the existing code in your classes, if you use the second approach then we may need to refactor your main class in the future. It is becoming more complex day by day. Think about this carefully and let me know if you still have any questions."

Meantime, Christine could still feel burning sensation on her left Cheek.No one had slapped her till now. She was a well-behaved child. Everyone had pampered her at home. She was also teachers favourite in the school and college because she would always mind her own business, will get along with everyone in her class. She was a bright student so she would pass solutions for assignments to her classmates and help them in understanding difficult concepts.

Today, Lisa slapped her when she was not at fault. How can she convince everyone that she does not wish to go on-site? She can choose to refuse this role but she may have to adjust with a person who will be going in place of her. If that person is rational then he or she will thank her for giving up this opportunity. But some people like Lisa will think it's unjust, Why would they need the opportunity that someone has rejected. It is beneath their self-respect. Lisa has twisted thinking, She will take chances to make Christine's life difficult.

She felt that she was wronged today. The punishment that Lisa will receive would not be enough. She became sentimental again and her eyes became wet. She is a vengeful person. She was good for everybody because they were also good for her. She did not mistreat anyone in the office. However, if Lisa has forgotten that she is junior to her who still need to learn things. She will gladly show her place from now onwards. She had never treated her juniors poorly. None of her juniors gave her a hard time. She would only feel better after she will make Lisa pay her price for today's incident.

David had gone to buy an ice pack and ointment in the 24/7 pharmacy. He had gotten news as soon as he reached the office. Though Christine got first aid treatment in the Medical Center, Lisa had used her entire strength in that slap so Christine was still in pain. He wanted to buy her medicine immediately but then he got a call from Cletan. That person gets all news at the lightening speed. Cletan had asked him to narrate an entire incident. Could he say 'No' to him? While he was talking to Cletan, he also learnt about the company that Cletan is going to join and the reason behind his quitting this job.

He came to Christine's desk with ointment and Ice pack post his conversation with Cletan.

"Christine, How are you feeling now? I was not there in the morning but I got worried about you after I heard it. I have brought this ice pack for you. Your face is swollen. Let me apply on your face. You will feel better."

"Thank you for your concern. I am already feeling much better."

"Christine, you know how do I feel about you. I am happy for you that you have accepted this On-site role but I am sad that I will miss you too much. Can you please not keep a distance from me?"

"David, I am very much aware of your feelings for me. That's why I don't want you to have any wrong ideas about me. So, I am maintaining a safe distance between us. Did not I tell you that I am only get married to a person that my parents will choose for me? You are a great person. You will find a girl who reciprocates your feelings and understands you better. We are not compatible."

"Christine, if we do not interact with each other, spend some time together then How would we know whether we are compatible or not? Why can't you give me one chance?"

"Stop pestering me, David. I don't have time to discuss all this now. My decision won't change, no matter what you do. David, Please forgive me. We are not meant to be together. I need to complete and submit my work permit related documents to Global travel team. Could you please leave me alone?"
