A week later, I came across Edward again in Las Vegas during one more business conference. We didn't talk at all during the conference, but we met in the evening when I found him playing blackjack in the hotel casino.

I couldn't believe how frequently we were running into each other. It's like I was meeting him more than I met Alice nowadays.

He waved at me as he saw me. I assumed it meant that he was alone. It seemed that he didn't acknowledge my presence whenever he was with someone.

"So, are you on a winning or a losing streak?" I smiled as I went there.

"I'm losing badly," he chuckled, "Do you want to try one game?"

"Sure." I said, and I ended up winning that.

"And here strikes the lady luck!" he smiled.

"Yeah!" I smiled broadly.

We played a few more rounds and then went to the bar to grab some drinks.

"So, you know I was just thinking," he said after some time, "You mentioned that you were thinking about switching jobs, and I was wondering if you'd like to join my company."

"Oh..." I said.

"You know, we can discuss the details if you're interested," he said.

I wasn't expecting such an offer. At least it didn't seem a bad idea on paper, but I needed to think about it. His company was on rise, and he had the vision. I guess I should give it a thought.

"Ummm... Let me think about it," I said.
