The following week when I got to that site, I was fortunate to meet the owner. The supervisor was also around. I managed to convince the landlord and he promised to give me the work as soon as they were ready. While rounding off the conversation, unknown to me, the supervisor waved at someone who was driving by. I was facing them while I backed the road side. When I looked back, I saw the rear view of my Master's
