“Why didn’t he just tell me?”
The customer complaints.
The delivery problems.
The staff schedules.
“Those questions he kept asking were all tests?”
“Some of them. He wanted to know how you thought.”
“And tonight?”
“Some of them.”
Georgia sighed. “He thought an awkward social situation would show whether you could stay calm when someone made unreasonable demands.”
I stared at her. “Your father turned prom into a management interview?!”
“That was his plan.”
“That’s ridiculous!”
“I told him!”
Then I remembered something.
“That’s ridiculous!”
“Wait. What happened to your original date?”
“So he didn’t exactly back out?”
“No. Dad just preferred that explanation.”
“What happened to your original date?”
I rubbed my face. “Everyone knew except me.”
“Pretty much.”
Georgia pulled out her phone. “And I already told Dad what I think.”
