"Hello," Colin responded with a nod and smile, "You're the one Ms. Cooper mentioned. What's your nagain?" Sherlyn introduced, 'Sherilyn, Sherilyn Gomez." "Ah, right," Colin said, eyeing her appreciatively. Being a friend of a friend and seeing her attractive appearance and figure, he was already inclined to give her a chance. "Sherilyn, you're hired."

The call dropped after two rings, but soon after, Joyce called her back.

"You got it?" Joyce sounded surprised but thrilled. "knewit! You'd nall it. Don't worry, I've got your back here" Since international calls were pricey, they kept it short and sweet before hanging up.
