The possibilities

Interesting thing happened today, I was calling up the customers as usual and I came to this lady - Elizabeth Lim if I recalled. Spoke to her briefly in the morning but she told me to call her back in the evening as she was about to leave the house. I had a good feeling about her, she sounded sincere. It makes your day when a customer treats you like a person. Called her back like she told me to do so and went on with my job of explaining our services - She was intrigued and interested. I tired to close the appointment but she wasn't sure of her schedule for the upcoming week - She told me she'll call me back the next day to confirm the appointment.
We made some small talk after that - She asked how long have I been working for the company. I lied by saying 6 months - Couldn't abate my credibility by saying 9 days. She went on asking if I had just finished studying and I told her I was planning to go back to study next year.

"Overseas?" she asked.

"Most probably." I replied.

She responded by saying, "I'm doing some business and you might be interested, but we'll talk more tomorrow."

I was astonished. She asked me for my contact number, and I gave the company's number and my name.

"And if you don't get me tomorrow morning, would it be alright if I called you?" I asked.

"Sure!" she replied.

It might turn out to be nothing at all, but it feels good to know that there are possibilities
