Reunion - Chapter 3: Surprise

This is the third chapter of the story I was writing. It might not be as fluid as the first two though. Sorry about that.

Anyway this is like a recap of the events that happened in Chapter 1 and 2, but from the perspective of the other person, James.

As usual, comments are always welcome. This is a very rough draft, so it might change a bit (or drastically), depending on the feedback.

Anyway, enjoy. :)

Chapter 3 - Surprise

Monday - it's just like any other day. I wake up, do my morning routine, prepare for work and head off. Today's a bit different though - everyone was abuzz that a new employee will be coming in today. I didn't really get much detail, except that she had previously worked at one of the best firms in the industry, and that she's really good. Little did I know that I would be in for a really big surprise.

Truths and Wrongs

Most of us have beliefs that we consider the truth. Some people, though, tend to be defensive when those "truths" that they hold are contested. They try to rationalize, justify, or sometimes even counter other people's "truths" that do not fit in with the "truths" they believe in. They create double standards just to accommodate their "truths", or worse, just shut off or put in bad light the people who counter them, and no matter how hard you try to explain to them, they wouldn’t listen. They compromise everything else so as not to compromise their own "truths". Because they value these "truths" too much, they tend to close everything else. And that's the hardest part - trying to reason with (or open) someone that has decided to be closed.
