The Perfect Misunderstanding
The Perfect Misunderstanding
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It’s Sarah’s first day on the job. She is assigned to help wash the dishes. Jose the manager, who holds a Hispanic heritage, is helping his wife Victoria who also holds a Hispanic heritage fold the linen. All three are in the back room of the #1 rental warehouse.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“No sé por qué no nos habla.”
Jose says to his wife with deep concern in his voice.
“Yo tampoco lo sé.”
His wife Victoria reply.
“Why do I feel like they are talking about me?”
Sarah whispers to herself angrily.
“¿Cómo nos acercamos a ella?”
Victoria says with the look on her face that you only see when someone is trying to solve a very complexed math problem.
“No lo sé, siempre se ve tan enojada.”
Jose looks at his wife.
“I wish they would stop talking bad about me!”
Sarah says in an agitated low tone that only she could hear.
Just then the manager walks up to her, pats her on the shoulder and says
“you’re doing a great job.”
She replies back while smiling
“thank you.”
