her throat clogged up
with emotion.
“If he does not meet you standards, I
do not expect you to appoint him, nor do I if you do not have the need for
another Architect. All I ask is that you look at him as a candidate.”
Jarrod released the breath he has been
holding. He could hear the emotion in her voice and he cursed himself. He
never even considered that she was close to her family. Hell he would give
them all jobs to get her here … even if she had ten brothers and sisters!
“I understand and I apologize for my
inconsideration. Ask him to email his CV and portfolio to me. I will contact
him directly. My PA will let you know the outcome before the end of day
tomorrow.”
She phoned Sheila immediately and she
was ecstatic and so was William. Perfecto Architects was the one Company where
his skills and modern designs would be effective. He had heard how Jarrod
Parker personally mentored Architects with potential and he would give his arm
and leg to work for him.
“William, you have to realize you have
to get this job on your own. I just opened the door.”
“I realize that, Nonnie. Jarrod
Parker is not the type of man to do professional favors. Not for anyone.”
That
much I have come to realize all too well myself!
Jarrod
got Chris to interview Will via Skype early the following day. He gave him a
very quick design test and by the end of the day, his PA confirmed that Will
has been appointed as Architect at the Austin office.
The following afternoon Shannon
informed Gregory Bart that she would head up the Campaign at Perfecto
Architects, but not the Regional office. They agreed that she would be
appointed as second in charge. That way she would receive adequate mentoring
to grow into the position over a period of two or three years.
Moving your whole life across the
country was a lot more involved than getting on a plane. Shannon and her
sister owned property that needed to be sold and that was the first problem.
The market was down and prices were at rock bottom. Letting out would not be
an option as neither of them intended moving back.
Jarrod was becoming agitated. It has
been four weeks since she left and he was slowly losing his mind. He
deliberately stopped phoning her. His own stupid desire to have her call him
and admit that she thought of him too, had backfired solidly. Clearly she did
not feel the same way he did.
He asked his PA to get hold of Gregory
Bart and waited impatiently for the call to be put through.
“Mr. Parker, I was just about to phone
you.”
“Call me Jarrod, Gregory. I want to
get this project off the ground and we are not movin’ alon’ as I would have
liked. What is the cause of the delay of Miss Davis move here?”
“Selling property. The market is very
bad in LA at the moment. They have packet up and all her belongings are on the
way to Houston already.”
“I see. Please keep me in the loop.
I can’t afford to delay the launch for months.”
They talked about the project a while
longer. Jarrod scrolled to the number of his broker on his phone and waited
for the call to go through.
“Harold, I need you to make an offer
on two properties for me in LA.”
He gave him all the details and
discussed a few other investments at the same time.
“You do know the property market in LA
is bad at the moment, Jarrod?”
“Yeah, but I have a reason for buyin’
them. Offer them twenty percent above market value.”
“Twenty! Are you crazy?”
“As soon as you have obtained the
property, I want you to set them up as homes for foster kids. Get someone to
run each home from the welfare directly. Make sure it is someone that really
cares about the children. I want a monthly budget proposal for expenses. Get
my accountant involved with that. I want to see everythin’ for approval.”
“As always. You are a good man,
Jarrod.”
Yeah, maybe … only this time, I am
driven by a blue eyed,
with emotion.
