CHAPTER 69

"There are seven people to feed in my family, and they all depend on me. Now Mr. Oscar says he's going to put production on hold. How are we supposed to get by?"

"You can't just hear half the story and jump to conclusions. What Mr. Oscar meant was that production lines one, two, and three can keep going. Only four and five need a break. He's not saying you can't work, just that you need to chill at home for a bit "

"A break for how long? With seven people to support, I can't afford to be idle for even a day!"

"Like it or not, this is how it's going to go down. There's no room for negotiation! Has Mr. Oscar ever done you wrong this past year? Can't you see it? Now that Ms. Rose is in the picture, every little thing is getting scrutinized Production lines four and five have to stop, and the stock in the warehouse must be cleared out in the next few days. Otherwise, not just you and me, but even Mr. Oscar is going to be in hot water!"
