Yael finds out about the customer survey and has suspicions about why she hasn’t been informed that it was taking place
T he meeting in Hirth’s office was set for Sunday ten a.m. Aviva had spent much of the past week reviewing and tabulating the results of the surveys. She was gratified by how many people had actually taken the time to fill it in — and even to write something complimentary in the comments section.
“It’s a sign of how much our clients value what we do” she told Zevi as she’d sat up yet another late night in the office. When he’d shown up with takeout and an offer to keep her company for once she’d been nothing but grateful. It was his way she knew of trying to thaw things out.
He hadn’t actually said anything about the $15000 loan nor had she outright apologized for her cutting remarks. But as soon as he’d appeared with an anxious smile she felt a load she hadn’t realized she’d been carrying melt off her shoulders.
If he had been the first to reach out she felt he deserved a gesture in return so she asked him to join them at their meeting on Sunday to show how much she valued his opinion at such a crucial juncture. It was a completely spontaneous move and as thought out as spontaneous moves usually are. Which is why she wasn’t prepared for the look Suri gave her as the two made their way into Hirth’s office where Suri was already waiting.
