I can’t believe it. Part four just happened.

I got a call from an unknown number.

“Hello?”

It was an unfamiliar male voice on the other end, but his connection was quite bad, so I couldn’t really hear what he was saying.

Probably called the wrong number.

Until I heard him mention what was unmistakably my name.

He continued slowly, telling me his company name. It was a client of mine.

Then I recognised his name. It’s the same guy who featured in part 1/2, and part 3. A felt something strange in my stomach.

“Yes I remember you,” I told him. Maybe I should have lied.

“I tried using the project today, but I think…” he went on to describe some problems with the project that I was working on but I couldn’t really hear him.

“Thanks for the feedback, but we’re not working on it any more. Perhaps you should be talking to Jane about it?” Jane is his colleague in charge of the project. Besides, it’s almost 10pm at night.

“Yeah… so, how have you been?” he asked. Such concern.

Must not let this conversation extend.

“I’m fine. Anyway thanks for the feedback. And…” I almost added “I’ll talk to you again” but that would have been a bad idea.

“… have a good night!” I concluded. Push red button on phone.

5 minutes later, I get an SMS from the same number.

Thought of adding you on facebook

10 minutes later, I realise that he sent me an SMS a week ago with his facebook URL, which I completely ignored.

Advice needed. Thank you.
