She soon will be promoted to sales manager of their Cleveland office. Whatever the reason for Thalia's return, Dobie vows not to fall under her spell again since he knows she will ultimately break his heart as he will never be the money making machine she is looking for in a husband. Indeed, Thalia wants Dobie back, but she figures she can have her cake and eat it too by Dobie dropping out of school and becoming a salesman under her for Pylon. Although he still pines for her, Dobie doesn't want to drop out of school despite he realizing that his liberal arts program isn't providing him with any grounding for a professional life that would attract Thalia. Dobie's parents are mixed on Dobie dropping out to get a job. They all let confirmed academic and lover of anything related to knowledge Mr. Pomfritt decide Dobie's fate. But Mr. Pomfritt, who has always had problems making ends meet, may be easier prey to Thalia's arguments than most would have believed. Written by Huggo See less
