    “Very good thank you very much Cindee. How’s that project of yours going?”
     
    “It’s going great. I’ll be able to finish it for sure.” I proudly said. This shouldn’t be hard concept to pull-off Japanese-American influenced design. A mishmash of culture.
     
    “Well that’s great. I think you’re going to like what I have to say. I just received an employment fulfillment from none other than the Garden-Parion group. They’re looking for associates. They thumbed through your portfolio and was pleasantly surprised to see one of your works and requested that you work for them immediately. I mean it doesn’t happen very often. Actually it never happened before.”
     
    My eyes widened seeing the trusses of the sloping ceiling beams form together with hard wood floors interlined in granite; it was all part of east meeting west that I was looking for.
     
    “They are looking to start you as an associate due immediately. This is the perfect opportunity for you. This would finally put you in a very good position to conquer the architectural world. And did I tell you? They pay top-notch salaries, the best in the industry really, and the best part is that you’d be based in Paris. I mean for a gal like you nothing would be more perfect.”
     
    Paris. What about the American workers here? I thought to myself as I traced the beams down to the sloping of the temple style roofing.
     
    “Like I said they were pleasantly surprised by your work. I mean this doesn’t happen much. Cindee, I think your stars had aligned perfectly. You, my girl, are on your way to the top!!”
     
    I cleared my throat and sipped on clear Omaha’s finest water spring. This was indeed the coveted position in all of the architectural firm. They are known to be very selective of who they let it. And once you’re in, the sky is the limit.  
     
    “But what about my current work?” I asked, gulping down the water.
     
    “That dirt hole will be nothing compared to the ornate buildings you’d be designing with the top famous personalities of the architectural world. Don’t worry about that job. I can get a replacement for you in no time.”
     
    I fell silent. There was more work to be done. Not just for me but for Dillard and Hideshi and the rest of the local workforce who were counting on our success. I can’t fail them now.
     
    The silence of the phone drew heavy, “So Cindee. Should we book you in the next Jet out of there? Oh I forget to mention. They have a sign-in bonus that is exceedingly large. Almost half a year worth of salary.”
     
    “I’m not going to take it.” I cleared my throat reaching for the Omaha bourbon that was gifted to me in the barstool.
     
    “I’m sorry, I must have misunderstood you,” said Jazzy.
     
    “I’m declining the offer.” I said as I downed a shot of aged bourbon to steel my nerves.
     
    “You’re declining the offer? But Cindee. A thousand women would die to have an offer such as this. They need an answer as soon as possible. So if you don’t take it, it’s gone forever. Opportunities like these are very hard to come by. They’re once in a lifetime opportunity.”
     
    “I know.” I said as I reeled from the gravity of my decision. “But I need to finish this project. I hope you understand.”
     
    “What a professional! OK Cindee. That is your call. I’ll let them know about it. I just didn’t think you’d find your calling in a cow dung facility.”
     
    “Cow-breeding.” I corrected her. “And they make good beef.”
     
    “Ok Cindee. It’s your call. See ya when I see ya.”
     
    When the call ended, I downed another shot of bourbon to clear my head. I’ve made a life-changing decision. Instead of my brain, I followed my heart.
     
    I crouched down to the model of the events building. I realized there was something wrong with the supplied map sketch and how my own rendering was showing up. There seemed to be a black area of hidden space that seemed to
