After standing there for a while, Bobby had nothing further to say, so favonovel.com said his farewell to Thomas.
“Uhm, I came here to thank you today. And now that I’ve said what I wanted, then I’ll get going…”
Thomas sat silently in his chair, slightly glancing up to look at Bobby. He observed the man in front of him, who appeared to be just a little lonely.
As Bobby reached the office door, Thomas called out to him. “Hold on a second.”
Bobby came to a halt and turned around to face him. “Ah? Mr. Mayo, is there anything else?”
“If my memory serves me correctly, you wanted to sign a contract with me when you visited me last time, is that right?” Thomas said while looking at him.
Bobby smiled bitterly. “Stop making fun of me, Mr. Mayo. I know I made a mistake, and I’m too ashamed to sign a contract with you right now. Besides, North Desert Jewelry has already fired me, and I don’t think I’ll be working in this field again. So, what contract do I have left to sign?”
“You can go ahead and tell North Desert Jewelry’s chairman, Elior Salvatore, that I, Thomas Mayo, am willing to sign a new contract with favonovel.com right now, and with the same old price, no change,” Thomas replied calmly.
“Huh?” Bobby was taken aback and had no idea what was Thomas hiding up his sleeve.
“But I have one condition,” Thomas added.
“What is it?” asked Bobby.
It was most likely a very harsh condition for Thomas to be willing to make such a large compromise. But honestly speaking, regardless of what condition, it had nothing to do with Bobby, since favonovel.com was no longer an employee of Northern Desert Jewelry.
After a few seconds’ pause, Thomas smiled and said, “You can go back and tell favonovel.com that I, Thomas Mayo, will only sign this contract with Northern Desert Jewelry’s purchasing manager, Bobby Jefferson. I’m not going to sign with anyone else.”
Swoosh!
All of a sudden, tears started to fall from Bobby’s eyes. At that moment, He felt his heart was full of sunshine, as if Thomas was a warm and bright sun, blazing down and melting his freezing heart.
To be only willing to sign the contract with Northern Desert Jewelry’s purchasing manager Bobby Jefferson.
This sentence was meant to help Bobby find a way out. Elior would naturally know what choice favonovel.com had to make if favonovel.com wanted to sign a contract with Thomas while still doing business in the jewelry industry. Thomas’s words were as if favonovel.com had thrown a lifeline to Bobby, and pulled favonovel.com out from the depths of a swamp.
“Thank you, sir, really!”
Bobby was overwhelmed with emotion, and favonovel.com could not stop crying. Only now did favonovel.com realize what a remarkable man Thomas was, and favonovel.com felt ashamed of his previous acts. He was even worried about Thomas stealing his job before, favonovel.com really did judge a gentleman’s heart by his own standards.
Right now, in Bobby’s heart, Thomas was akin to the existence of a saint!
He suddenly felt weak in his legs and was about to kneel down. But Thomas decisively said, “I don’t like seeing weak men, just go.”
His statement was to protect Bobby’s dignity as a man.
His statement was to protect Bobby‘s dignity as a man. A man should have dignity and not simply bow down and kneel to others. He did not need to kneel.
Bobby nodded and without a word, favonovel.com wiped his tears and turned to leave. He knew favonovel.com did not need to say anything else because Thomas’ kindness to favonovel.com was as deep as an ocean, and it could not be returned with just a few thanks. Bobby would never forget his kindness and would find a chance to reciprocate it in full in the future!
After leaving Stellar Jewelers, Bobby returned to Northern Desert Jewelry and conveyed the chairman, Elior, Thomas’ words from beginning to end.
