Chachi's New Job

by Queen of Spiritual

Lately, Chachi was thinking it was time to look for a new office. He sometimes gets a big crowd of people, so he spoke with Kylie Jones - Blake about what was available. She is willing to pay him a fee if he takes her offer. Will Chachi last long enough for this new office space? Written for CNJ.

Chachi now decided it was a good time to call and see if Palmer is available to talk with him. If Jacob isn't busy, then it would make him get this telephone call over with. Chachi did just that. He was told from Jacob himself that he works Monday through Friday, and today is only Wednesday. He looked at the clock: 9:50 AM. So Chachi picked up the card Jacob had given him and then listened to the phone ring.

Jacob himself answered the telephone. Chachi silently thought to himself this indeed is the right time to talk.

"Hello, Jacob. I'm Chachi Arcola. I'm sure you probably remember me."

"Of course I do, Mr. Arcola. How have you been?"

"Busy, that's for sure. Are you too busy now to talk with me or are you open?"

"I'm not busy at the moment, Mr. Arcola. Is there something you wanted to talk with me about?"

"Yes, there is, Jacob. Do you respond to Mr. Palmer of just Jacob?"

"It's Mr. Palmer when it comes down to business. When I'm not working, people just call me Jacob."

"I see that makes sense. You do have to sound professional when you're working with someone."

"That's true. Tell me what's on your mind."

"Well, I talked with the woman who is giving me the space I needed. When do you think sounds the right time for me to move in with her law firm?"

"Whatever you fee, like it. You can still wait until I sell the agency or move now. In my opinion, I'd do it once your agency is sold."

"Okay. That does make sense. That's one of the reasons I called. There is another question I want to ask."

"What's that?"

"How fast do you think you will work on selling my agency?"

"It depends, but I can't promise anything. Have you started packing up?"

"Sir, I have."

"Good idea to start early. That's very smart of you," Jacob told him, and then added, "you aren't like some of my other customers. They somehow wait until the last minute when the new people come."

"It sure makes me feel good to hear to hear you tell me that, Mr. Palmer. Have you started receiving any phone calls who is interested?"

"Nor yet. I will keep you posted when I do have something."

"That's why we're working together."

"That's exactly right. Sorry to make this call short, Mr. Arcola, I have to go into town for a few minutes. Sorry, I meant to say a few hours. It was nice talking with you."

"Same with you, Mr. Palmer. If I have anymore questions, I will call you."

"Sounds like a good idea. You have a good the rest of the day."

"Same to you."

That's when Chachi put the phone back in the cradle. At least he also decided to see if either Fonzie or Joanie would like to have lunch again with him today. If not, that's fine with him. Then he went along to working the rest of the day.

Like Jacob had told him, he also worked the nine to five hours. Sometimes he isn't too much busy. Chachi also told himself Jacob seemed friendly enough to work with him on this deal. He'll have to tell Kylie and Fonzie that Jacob was the right choice and sell this agency. He decided to tell Fonzie the next time they were available to see one another. He'll Kylie later this week.
