She Stood Me Up!

Erstwhile colleagues of good standing – Network Executive NE and Snooty Personality SP – happened to be at the same place at the same time. There was no way to avoid each other as friends were in attendance to this big event as well. But some of their colleagues believe that NE and SP have long buried the hatchet.

However, in spite of their supposed ‘reconciliation,’ some observers quipped that it was evident that NE and SP were still not comfortable with each other. During events where their presence was needed, both would just be civil with each other. Short of saying that the level of their friendship was never the same again, and that given the chance, avoiding each other is always a possibility.

Recently, NE and SP met at an event abroad. Their colleagues, as well as their followers were all eyes as to how they would behave with each other. To be fair to SP, she looked happy to see NE and they even had photos taken together. Thereafter, SP invited NE for dinner that following night, to which the latter obliged.

SP booked at a fabulous restaurant in the chic boutique hotel. On their last phone conversation prior, NE even made a last-minute confirmation to SP that she would be present at the dinner. At the restaurant at the appointed time, SP was there, but NE was nowhere. She patiently waited for like thirty (30) minutes, still no NE showed up... not even a call. An hour past without NE, SP left the place.

The following day, NE called SP to explain. Whether her explanation -- or ‘alibi’ was valid – or acceptable to SP, people privy to both believed that NE’s not showing up was obviously done with malice - and definitely in very bad taste. On the other hand, one can’t also discount the fact that SP may have also been driven with hidden intentions when she extended the invitation – and that NE could have ‘smelled’ it from afar, you know … takes one to know one… hmmm…
