Cloverdale’s Characters
Vaughan Systems, 2004. Reservados todos los derechos.c PAGE 63
Yesterday, Phillip Johnson had a busy morning.
He usually gets up at 7:30 every morning, but
yesterday he got up at 7:00 because his wife,
Nancy, had to leave home very early to take
a report to a client of hers 70 miles from
Lincoln. Nancy left home at 7:25 and Phillip
made breakfast for himself and for the
children. Usually Nancy makes breakfast for
all three, but yesterday was an exception.
Phillip took a shower and had breakfast
before the children got up. He prepared fried
eggs and toast for Michael and Denise and at
8:30 he took them to school. He got to the
office at ten minutes past nine. He had three
meetings during the morning. The first one
was at 10 o’clock with the bank’s lawyer. They
discussed a problem with an important client
who wanted to suspend payments on a loan.
They decided to wait until the meeting of the
bank’s Board of Directors to make a final
decision. At 11:30, he received the owner of
a ceramic factory near Lincoln. The man
needed $500,000 to add a new building to
his factory. The ceramic factory was one the
best in Nebraska and Phillip knew the man
very well and trusted him. At 12:00, Phillip
met with the chief commercial officer of the
bank to discuss a salary question concerning
one of the employees in the commercial
department. He went to lunch with the chief
commercial officer at 12:30. They had lunch in
a small restaurant near the office.
