Santa is out of Job

Selena was not sure what has to be done next. She had been Head of Communications for her life and suddenly she is doing nothing. She thought of joining others in the arcade but her mind wouldn't allow her to think of something else. The other day when Schuzz told her that Santa is serious about starting the workshop wihtout the Elves this year she became more upset, she decided to meet some of her old friends, maybe this would help her to ease off her pain. Walking down the town square she could see Cherrie at the chocolate bar, she headed for it. "Good evening Cherrie, how are you doing today?" asked Selena.

"Oh thank you never been better, Selena. How you been?" enquired Cherrie. "Have been okay so far, not sure when I would loose my head." said Selena.

The duo took two vacant seats across the room with a window to their side, after being comfortable Selena asked "Mr Welsh is the name right, if I have got it right." "Yes mam" replied Hugh. "How can I help you Mr Welsh?" enquired Selena. "Well mam infact we can help each other" said Hugh with a smile. "How is that Mr Welsh?" curious Selena. "We (The Bank) know that you were heading the communication department back at Mr Claus's workshop" said Hugh. "Yes I was, so what about it?" asked Selena. "Well there is a situation at The Bank and we are looking forward to hire as head of communications with at north pole. The remuneration would be fantastic that would also involve other benefits" said Hugh. "But who told you that I am looking for the job?" asked Selena. "Well as you no longer working at the workshop we thought you might be interested in a job change" said Hugh. "Hmmm I have not thought about it yet" said Selena. "Well no hurry Miss Selena, The Bank can wait for an answer. Have a nice rest of the day" saying this Hugh got up and put on his hat and walked towards the exit. Selena still confused got up from the table and walked towards Cherrie across the bar ........ ...
