"Excuse me, is Sir Daniel here?" Nida inquired at the sales department's front desk.

"Who's Daniel Ma'am?" the always-smiling clerk asked politely. 

"Sir Daniel Olitoquit, Sales Head Manager." She responded while peeking inside the office, hoping to see him.

"You might be mistaken, ma'am. Our head manager is Sir Castro."

"It's not Daniel?" She asked again to be sure. 

"Yes ma'am."

"Hmm, can I see him?" Even though she doesn't know this Sir Castro, she thinks that maybe Daniel is using a different name.

"He's not currently available, ma'am."

"Is that so? Hmm, can I at least see his photo? "

"His photo?"

"Yes, do you have at least a picture of him?"

"I do, but why?" The clerk looked at her as if she was a stalker or a weird person, but Nida didn't care.

"I would like to see his face."

"But he had a meeting with the trucking department last week."
