The whole street was very wet and lonely, not even a single soul was seen outside. The birds were screeching. Gregory came out of his new apartment to look around his new environment but he discovered that everywhere was empty. This was unlike his former place where he must see people passing by and children riding their bicycles. He closed his door and sat down on the staircase. "Ouch! This place is wet"There was a serious downpour some minutes ago and it didn't occur to him that the stairs would be wet. He had to go inside to change his long pants and came outside again. This time he had to clean the stairs with a long mop stick. He enjoyed the quiet serenity of the place. Gregory actually left his old apartment because of George Chulley. He wouldn't want to have anything to do with him again. He had no choice than to start up life again, but where would he start from? He couldn't even have access to his daughter anymore. He felt sorry for what he did but he remembered what ha
Gregory thought that his neighbors would come out but he was surprised that nobody cared to even come out to check. "Does it mean that the smoke didn't get to their houses? People here are very funny"After a while, he had to go inside to check if it was conducive for him, and behold it was a little bit manageable for him. He gave out a sigh of relief because he wasn't expecting any visitors. He started to clean the whole kitchen. The french fries were burnt beyond repair. He had to trash them. "I have learned a bitter lesson in my own house. But I wish I hadn't slept, I would have known how the French fries tasted since it was my first time"Gregory got out a sandwich and a pack of juice and ate it as his dinner. He had to master the procedures with the help of the videos and finally slept off to wake up in the morning. It was almost 7:00 am when Gregory woke up from sleep. "Oh my gosh!" He thought of what to do and concluded that instead of taking his bath and being late, he r
Gregory was about to say thank you when the lady perceived something. "Are you cooking something?""Oh! Yes, I am preparing breakfast. You can come inside if you care to join me" The lady followed him inside and he told her to wait in the living room while he went to check on his food. She insisted on following him to the kitchen. "Wow, your kitchen is so neat and nice. You must be a good chef" Gregory smiled and nodded his head. He assumed that would also give him a pass mark, although he hadn't opened the letter to find out what was written inside. "So how did the other interview go?""Hmmm, we couldn't get anyone at the moment""Meaning, I should keep waiting?""Why haven't you checked the letter I gave to you?" "Ouch, it escaped me!" Gregory went to the living room and picked up the letter from the center table and brought it to the kitchen where the lady was. He sat down at the dining table and opened it quietly. He brought out the paper and unfolded it and read through i
Gregory jumped up from his bed thinking that he was late for work only to notice that it was 6:00 am. He had to microwave his food and ate it before taking his bath and preparing for work. When he got to work, he overheard two staff members discussing. He tiptoed closer to the door and stood there to eavesdrop on what the conversation was all about. He got interested when he heard about drugs. He overheard the other saying that his package had arrived in the State successfully without being caught. The other went ahead to say that one of his friends had just decided to take the risk of taking the drugs over to another country. Gregory heard him saying that his friend would swallow some drugs and will be operated on when he got over to the country. The other person advised him not to do so because his body would be scanned in a system and he would end up rotting in jail. Gregory was surprised that people who work in the restaurant also deal with drugs. He thought of joining them bu
Gregory concluded that he would go and visit the old man when he will be coming back from work the next day. He wasn't sure if he was making the right decision but he had to do it so that he won't be feeling scared. He thought of the decision he was about to make and he felt that was the best decision. Gregory was so sure that the old man was Incorruptible and wouldn't want such a thing to bring his image down. When he finished thinking about it, it was very correct in his head. As he went to sleep that night, he proposed in his heart that he will be awake very early so that he will be able to get to his workplace early and know if there were other things he needed to hear. What if the old man asks him if there are some things the guy said about the restaurant? He didn't have enough proof. He only heard that they were into drugs which was nobody's business but he wasn't sure if the old man would be pleased to hear such. He had to get more information and also record them as proof
Gregory quickly ran home, sweating and panting. He thought of what to do but his head wasn't coordinated. He had to take very chilled bottled water from his small refrigerator and drank it before going to the living room to rest. As he sat down he began to remember all that happened from the morning that he arrived at work till the moment he came back that night. "So it means that this lady and the old man are into drugs and not only that they are also business partners with George" "I am shocked that the lady also knows George and now it will be very easy for George to know my house. What do I do now?""This place is no longer safe and suitable for me. I think I have to ask for a refund from the landlord and then go and rent another place out of this city. No, I think I need to evacuate from this state entirely because it will be very easy for them to locate me" Gregory was so confused about what to do. He had to think fast because it was only that night that he needed to do the
"Yes, I moved out. Do you have any problem with that?""No, I don't but you should have informed us that you were leaving. What happened that made you move your things last night?""It was very urgent" "Very urgent that you didn't remember to call me. I could have even come over to help you pack" "No, I never wanted to disturb you" "So tell me where you moved into so that I can come and pay you a visit" "You don't have to worry about that""What about your job?"Gregory was tired of the questions and ended the call. He needed to rest from the long trip. Soon the hotel attendant knocked on his door and brought in his food. He thanked her and started eating immediately because he was famished. That night Gregory had to turn off his location from his phone and slept peacefully. The next morning, he started searching for a new apartment with the help of a map on his phone. Finally, he got one and made a call through the number that he saw. The owner of the apartment gave him a spec
Ashley wasn't comfortable staying at home again after all the incidents that happened beginning with Tracy's wedding. Everyone had gone their separate ways. Tracy had picked up the pieces of her life and moved ahead. Ashley thought of where to get a job but there was none. She was about to go to the mall to get a few things for herself when her phone rang and it was her former boss at her place of work. "Hello" "Ashley my dear, how are you doing?""I am fine sir""Have you gotten another job?" Ashley wondered what sort of question he was asking. Was he trying to find out if she was ideal or had gotten another job? "Why do you ask?""Because we miss you in this company. We haven't been catching up with some schedules and we are lagging. I have not been able to get a perfect secretary since you left. Please I need you back" Ashley couldn't believe her ears. She was dumbstruck. "I thought your receptionist was capable enough to handle her job and also the job of a secretary""No,
