Looking at the address it seems near the bus station, but which building is it she wasn't sure about it. Reya was always cautious with every thing she do likewise for now if that place was far and in a suspicious dark alley she'd not have the courage to check it out so she tried asking few passerby for the address however none really was sure about it , while some just didn't care about her.
" alas, let it be if the next passerby didn't know i'll just give up I've already spent all my energy walking today "
but the next pedestrian was no other than James who deliberately appeared in front of her except that he never imagined she'll take the lead to approach him
" sir , sir please could you help me find this place ? it's stated to be near here yet I couldn't find it as I'm not from this neighbourhood "
looking at the poster in her hand James thought to himself ' what a lucky day to be ' faking a cough he pointed to a direction not far away from them
" miss if you take that turn to the right you'll find the building.. but .. if you don't mind asking.. that ..!" he stuttered out of panic as Reya looked at him with her big confused eyes
"... I mean don't you think this poster is a scum .. oh sorry i just read it unconsciously haha " touching the back of his neck James explained
" ooh ... that! of course I'm doubting it but checking it's credibility will not do me any harm haha.. "
Reya's curiosity trespassed her fear of the unknown as she confidently gave her answer and so she took her leave after thanking the <
" pst.. pst.. bro why didn't you make a move ?!" the baldy was puzzled by his brother's action But the later didn't answer as he sent a message on his phone.
" the rest is up to that man. for now our job is done, let's go "
" huh , wait for me "

in the other hand Reya didn't find it hard to reach that building " wow i didn't imagine it to be an office building" taking a deep breath she entered, but there was no one at the reception area.
" hello is anyone here?? " looking around, the quietness gave her a chill on the spine thus she decided to just go back however someone appeared before she could take another step.
" how may i help you, young miss ?!" this man was wearing a lab coat while putting a really thick glasses on. the sudden appearance of him accelerated her heart beats yet on the outside she kept her composure while forcing a smile out.
" .. oh, ... that, hello sir i've come for this poster, here, take a look" Reya handed him the poster she found and took two steps behind, ' it's no wonder they say curiosity killed the cat ' even though she's still alive her feelings weren't false after all.
She used to get this restless feeling whenever she meets someone with bad intentions and due to this sixth sense of hers Reya survived many incidents that might turn to a bad direction, but now the only thing she's left with is her faith alone
' please God don't let this situation be my end '
" OHO miss you came at the right time,.. i mean right place, but first sit down " the man took off his glasses as he gestured for her to sit down at the sofa in the lobby
" let me introduce myself, ahem you could call me doctor Jo as you could tell I'm the one who made the poster, i guess you fit well the conditions or .. you'd not be here looking for me now , right! miss!"
Reya's heart calmed a bit after hearing him out
" you can say that but i do still love my life ha..ha .. I'm only 24 by the way ... " doctor Jo smirked at her rigid smile as he proceeded on putting some papers on the table.
" okay i also love my life so don't worry I assure you this job is only temporary but have great benefits to you ... it's just as you already know we need a woman for it to be done not a male. well I'll give you enough time to read the contract then you should be able to decide what's good for yourself. once you decide you could return back tomorrow morning ..." he stopped a bit before continuing.
" just to tell you the type of job you gonna do isn't written down as it's super confidential .. but I can't promise you the job itself as we already have another candidate. you know if the other girl come here earlier than you tomorrow we could do nothing for you, ahem, well i shall take my leave, take care young miss "
doctor Jo put his glasses back as he left the lobby letting her sitting alone there.
' that.. he doesn't seem to be dangerous after talking to him ... well let's read this first '
holding the papers she carefully read it not long after she threw the contract on the table " who does he think to assume I'm a stupid girl!! doesn't he knows too much benefits for the employee means illegal labor work , tsk" Reya mumbled as she checked the time on her phone " oh it's already eight pm should i return now ? sigh i'd rather call mom first " knowing that she's not gonna accept the job Reya put her bag on and went out. at the same time doctor Jo who was peeping at her made a quick call
" once she leave take action"
_____
she didn't leave entirely as she stopped to make the call however it took her mother long before answering the phone.
" hi mom should i come now? I'm really hungry .. sob ..father is really crueler than what i thought ... sob .." talking pitifully Reya didn't thought the one who took the call is no other than her father
" you brat i know you gonna call didn't i tell you not to return before you find a job i don't care where you sleep tonight just go find yourself a job " the beep sound declared the end of the call
" WTF , this old man ! ... how could he be this cruel ! am i not his daughter ... OH GOD " Reya didn't know if she should curse or cry the only thing she's sure about is that today her father is sure to make her into a really homeless person. after few seconds she looked back at the building behind not sure if she should take the gamble and sign the contract or just give it up , suddenly the voice of her father repeated itself in her mind
" you useless brat.
get yourself a job.
I don't accept freeloaders at my house."
shaking her head helplessly she firmly decided
" who cares if the contract is suspicious as long as i get the job I'm sure my life will be stable after" pating her cold checks Reya encouraged herself
" let's go nothing is hard for this lady .."
it seems that her father's words had made her reasoning to cease to zero as her mind was only full of three things job, money and the many zeroes printed on the contract.
not knowing that the moment she sign the papers her life will change completely.
