Gratifying Compliment

Received a surprising call from a former acquaintance.
Avoiding the usual 'guess who am I' line, she went ahead and re-introduced herself, which I was rather glad she did because I would have guessed one girlfriends after another and still wouldn't have nailed the right one.
Straight to the point, she was calling from a company she had just recently joined, which I had attended an interview quite sometime ago. She told me that she was tasked a mission by the owner to try to persuade me to join the company to head the design department. I was honored but at the same time had to politely decline.
The call had built up my own valuation of self worth a notch or two.
