Part 79
There was no sense in objecting her. I signed with my head for her to continue and asked:
- I understand, Luda... Ok then, what happened next?"
- Then... I noticed from Mr. Shahid's face that he was distressed. At that moment a very romantic piece was playing on the music set and to get him into a good mood I took the advantage of the situation and said 'Mr. Shahid, I like this song very much. May I invite you to dance?'. But... on the contrary of what I expected, something very strange happened, Mr. Fatih."
The young woman stopped talking and looked at my face. Even if she wouldn't say it I could already guess what happened. Feeling a profound sadness growing inside me, I asked:
- What happened, Luda?
- Mr. Shahid first drank the wine in his glass in one sip and getting up on his feet suddenly, said 'Excuse me, Luda... I have a terrible headache developing. If you give me your permission, I would like to leave now.' and without even waiting for my answer, wore his coat that he took from the cloakroom and went out. Of course I became very confused about that, Mr. Fatih. I remember standing like that in front of the door that I shut behind Mr. Shahid. I haven't seen him ever since. Today, when I learned about the resignation letter, I began to think whether I had a role in his decision. If I had been the reason for that, I would be really sad. I've told you everything that happened, Mr. Fatih. Do you think that I behaved wrong towards him? Could it be, that without knowing I made a mistake?"
