Chapter 4
Yes, Ms. Issa I just want to inform you that you are hired. Welcome to Forex Law firm!
I can’t believe this!
How can I be hired if they never interview me?
Are you sure Ms. Reyes? I am hired? But I did not undergo for an interview. I asked
Yes Ms. Gil you are directly hired by Mr. Roland Forex, the son of the CEO of Forex law firm. That’s why you don’t have to be interviewed.
Why? I asked myself
Who is this Roland Forex?
I set aside the confusion thoughts
The important thing is I have work now
I waited for a month before they hire me
I thought its over for me
But no. This is my lucky day!
Thank you, Ms. Reyes. I told her with excitement
Ms. Reyes explained to me everything about my work
She told me that they will be a driver who will fetch me here in the province
So, I don’t need to worry about my travel going to Manila
It will be easier for me
The company gave me 1 week to prepare everything that I need
After the call I jumped out of my bed
I open my dresser and immediately pick out my clothes
I got my luggage and put my clothes inside
I’m so excited!!!
I make sure that everything that I need is inside my luggage
Besides I have few clothes so it’s easier for me to pack
……………..
Three days after that phone conversation with Ms. Reyes
I decided to meet with Kaye before I left the province
We decided to meet at the coffee shop near his law firm
I am already here but Kaye she’s late again
What’s new? Haha
Issaaaaa! Kaye shouted and waved Hi
This girl! So loud
Kaye and I chatted for an hour and this are the saddest part saying goodbye to her
I will miss you, Issa. Kaye told me and hugged me tightly
I will miss you too kaye. I hugged her tightly too
Call me if you need something, ok! Like hello I can drive 4 hours just to meet you. Don’t forget that!
I nodded and smile to Kaye
And she told me advices and so on and so on
………………..
Today it’s been 6 months that I am working with them.
They hired me as a family lawyer of the Forex family
We have ten members in the team of family lawyers
Rose, Tim and I are assigned to the only son of Forex family
I never met him, but the whole team already meet him.
So, I don’t have any idea what he is as a person.
The Forex law firm is in Manila
So, yes, I am living in the city for 6 months already and I miss the province
The apartment that I am living is for free, owned by the Forex family
They handled everything!
So, yes, call me LUCKY!
I have my own space and my own money
Every month, I send money to my aunt in the province
Our work schedule is Mondays to Saturdays
Only Sunday is our off
So, its hard for me to go to the province
But Forex law firm will give us one-month break, scheduled for each employee
Everything about my work is perfect
I never felt an outcast here
They are all good to me
I smile to myself and get back to work
…………………..
THIRD POV
Roland is in his office
He is doing some paper works for his dad’s empire but now he is the owner
The intercom in his office rang
Beeeeeeeeeeeep
His secretary Ria calling
Roland answer the intercom
Sir, I like to inform you that your father is on his way to meet you sir
I got confused
Why he is here?
Ok. I told Ria
After 10 minutes, Roland’s father has arrived
Mr. Edmon Forex entered Roland’s office without knocking
Roland got shocked and he stand immediately
Mr. Edmon threw an envelope to Roland that has documents inside it
Roland got hold to the envelope
What is this, Dad? Roland asked his father
Open it, Roland!!!! You son of b**ch. Mr. Edmon replied angrily
Roland is confused as to why his father is angry
He opens the envelope and saw pictures of his secret business
How did he know this? Roland thought
Dad, I can explain. This is not mine. Roland told his father
NOOOOO! How can you explain that pictures? The proof is in front of your face. I am so disappointed to you, Roland! You are disgrace to our family!!!! Mr. Edmon told his son, Roland angrily
Roland got silent of what his father told him
His father spoke again
This illegal business of yours should be shut down before people can speak. I can’t afford you will ruin our family’s name. Is our empire not enough for your greed???!!! CLOSE it NOW!!! If you will get in prison because of this, I will not help you out. You will rot in jail!!!!!
Mr. Edmon walk out of Roland’s office
While Roland remain standing and shocked by the words of his father
I am sure he hired an investigator to investigate everything about me, about my errands. He never trusts me. Roland thought
It’s been a year since I started this business
Illegal Gun Manufacturing
I know it is illegal, but this business is easy money.
My dad won’t let me get my whole salary in his empire until I will get married.
In short, my father handles all my money and expenses
He is a selfish bastard
He never trusts me since my mother died
Since I was a kid, I obey my father
I never had a chance to speak what I wanted to do
He controls me
He controls my life
My friend Clive Anderson is my business partner and he is currently in the U.S. to run our extension business there.
We manufactured guns for the big group terrorists in the world
This is a business deal between me and the terrorist groups
If the government will find out our business, terrorist groups need to protect us
That’s the deal
We can provide them guns and they will provide us security
I never thought, Dad will find out
I am very careful of my moves when it comes to this business
I picked up my phone on my office table and dial the number of Clive
Ring ring ring……….
Dude, we have problem. I told him, no more hello’s
What’s the problem, Roland??!! Did the police find out our business? Clive asked me
Not yet, but my father’s…….
I told everything to Clive about what happened earlier
Dude, we should move. What if your father will go to police and tells everything about our dirty business? Dude, I don’t trust your father. He hates you!
Clive said and yes, we are in trouble! I can feel to his voice that he is worried and angry
There’s one thing we should do, Clive. Contact the biggest terrorist group that we are supplying guns. We need their help! Contact me after your call.
We ended the call
I dial the number of my driver
Max, get ready we are going somewhere
