Hi Maria Jose, wow getting fired because you marry? That wouldn't work in today's world. That would be discrimination. But I can see from the picture that this takes place many years ago. Looking forward to reading on. All best. Ulla:)))

Yep! That's what it was like back then, of course it is illegal to do so now, but bosses could do what they wanted and fire anyone for any reason then, I liked the, "convince rich unattractive clients to buy anything", that line made me smile, love Dolly x

What a lousy reason.to fire someone from the job, seems unreasonable to fire someone from a job like that for getting married. But this fits with the rest of the narrstive. Well done, great progress with this "short bite" story Maria, blessings, Roy

Welcome Maria

I must admit, Maria...it is not easy keeping the big picture with such small amounts. Maybe you could think about writing a little more each time. I know your goal, but want to be honest. You would have to post a chapter each day to really keep the narrative in mind, and that would not neither be cost effective nor a good idea. You might think about compromising and make the chapters a little larger. All the same, I am in support whatever you choose.
Best wishes.
RG

I understand what you mean, Roy, but I'm really enjoying writing it this way. The problem is the FanStory format doesn't allow me to post several chapters at a time or I would do that.
Thanks for reading.

These are nice and short and an easy read. I saw no errors. Maybe I should do mine this way as I am forever leaving out words or using the wrong tense by accident. But it would take me forever and cost so much. You must do non-stop reviewing. I can only do so much and need a break, though there are some really great writers on here. I look forward to reading more. Rox

Thanks so much for this kind review, Rox. I'm enjoying writing this very much. It seems I have finally found my niche.

Oh my, what a devastating action. Barb enjoyed the position, the career, the work and poof it is gone because she chose to marry John. MMM perhaps this is her out, she is a tad bit self centered and such a position would definitely put her in the fore front and the limelight. Very well done Maria, a useful bit of information. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Maria;

That certainly explains a lot, doesn't it? But she did have a choice whether she got married or not, right?

Or was she forced to marry?

You are keeping my interest in these little chapters. Keep it up.

Not forced at all. Her parents were lovely people. I think she just saw John as an out, she thought she would be able to manipulate him and to a certain extent she did...
Thanks for reading.

A very well-written part of the story. We know now why Barb is not very excited about her new-born baby and feels detached from her child and her husband. She had to give up the job she loved.
