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,
"I think you will have to suite yourself. You are an adult so I don't think I need to advice you on what to do. The only advice you can listen to is the one you give yourself" "Exactly! And I am ready to do whatever I want without anyone's interference" Tracy's phone rang and it was her new lover. She picked it up and left the room to have a comfortable conversation. Ashley was not bothered. Everyone has their own life to live. She had a lot to deal with, so Tracy's was not her business. Ashley thought of calling Susan since she was the branch manager of her company. Maybe Susan could employ her. That was the best option instead of going back to the company she once left. It was like going back to her vomit. She wanted to discuss it with Tracy but on second thought, she remembered that Tracy wouldn't give her the best advice she needed and she once made a statement seconds ago that the best one can listen to is the one given by oneself. Ashley picked up her phone and called Susan
"So how are you coping all alone in the house?""What do you expect me to do? I work tirelessly these days because my work is tedious and it gives me no time for myself, so by the time I come back from work, I will feel so exhausted" "You are trying, especially now that you are the branch manager, the workload will be much" "So what about Roland? Have you heard from him? Because I noticed that there is a new occupant in your former place""Really? It means Roland has moved out. I don't know his whereabouts nor am I interested to know how he is faring. It is not my business for now" "But have you divorced him?""Why not, of course. I asked him to sign the divorce papers, but he refused saying that I must not divorce him. I had to find a way and drug him and made him sign it with his two eyes closed" The two ladies were shocked at what Susan did. "You did what?" They chorused in unison. "You two think that I am always calm to take nonsense from any man. He can't mess up my life. He
