A minute is long time when you're gone, Anna, he said.
His words were like conversation from a bad movie.
But I kept quiet about it - he was my boss. after all, even if he had gone crazy.
When I got to the lounge I took the phone. I noticed someone waving their arms at me from another phone across the large room. I could see it was that waiter again there were bits of cake all over his trousers.
Now what could he want?
I soon found out.
'Miss...' his voice was excited at the other end of the line. '... I know I am only a poor waiter but love makes me brave...'
Why did everybody sound like bad movies tonight?
'When I saw you just now,' said the waiter' 'I couldn't stop myself frow falling in love with you. You are so beautiful. Please tell me you will see me ... I know I can offer you more than that rich fool you're sitting with. I may not have his money or his looks, but I love you far more than he ever could. Please be mine!'
