The day slowly but surely came to an end and the longer Chase worked, he realized what monsters they were."Were all rich people that way? Was he that way to his employees?" He kept asking himself, even as he stood outside and the torrents of rain poured heavily. The weather forecasters had mentioned a little cloud today and if that was what a little cloud looked like, he didn't want to know what a sunny day would be like to them.He stood just outside the lobby, under a little shade as he contemplated going under the rain or waiting for it to stop. He fished out his phone from his pocket and the time was long after 6. He looked up at the sky and when he didn't see any sign of the rain letting up anytime soon, he braced himself to enter the rain.He pushed himself forward and walked on the sidelines. He held his hands across his chest to relieve himself of the biting cold that stung him with each droplet of rain. He kept going, holding on to the promise of a warm shower when he got ho

The office was eerily quiet as he entered. Even the preppy receptionist had not arrived. Another woman was there in her stead who didn't pay Chase any mind. Chase let out a breath of relief because the lesser people he had to deal with, the better his day would go.He went took the elevator straight to the 50th floor where the offices were located and walked straight to the conference room. He started wiping down on the large table that took up half of the room and the chairs around it. Soon, voices could be heard."Hey Trent, my office,' Paul called and as Chase turned to correct the name, he was already gone. He felt like the man purposely called him other names to piss him off.Other names are better than illiterate, don't you think?" his conscience mocked him and he rolled his eyes and went to Paul's office.He knocked once and was ready to apologize for not having his coffee at hand, reason being that the café nearest to the office didn't operate till 7am but his apology was imme

"Cleaning service, how may we help you?" Evelyn said as cheerfully as she could as dark beady eyes stared back at both of them while Chase held tightly the cart that had their cleaning supplies in them."I need the toilet plunged," the man said. He had only a towel wrapped around his waist and his hairy chest and stomach were on full display.Evelyn nodded once and pulled out the gloves, handing one to Chase and wearing another one herself. She pulled out the toilet plunger and they walked in. All the while, the man's eyes never left Evelyn. His name was Curtis and we worked for one of the big companies around. Evenly had cleaned his room earlier that morning and he couldn't stop admiring the beauty, which was why he made the call to see her again, when nothing was wrong with the toilet. He was displeased to see her come with someone else.Meanwhile, Evenly plunged the toilet and when it saw it flushed normally and nothing was wrong with it, she shrugged and told Chase they should le

"Theo," Laura yelled from where she sat in the lobby, waving him over."How did she know I was working here?" He asked himself but still walked over to her."How did you know I worked here?" He voiced his thoughts when he reached her."Didn't you want me to know? I met your landlady while leaving your house and she told me you got a job here. Why didn't you tell me?" All the wheels in her head were turning as she took in the majestic lobby. This place was for the high and mighty and if she could come here often with the excuse of seeing Chase, she could hook a wealthy man. She thought to herself.Chase cleared his throat. "Well, I forgot and I'm done for the day, so let's go," he held her elbow to lead her out but she yanked her hand back."You're working here now so you must make a lot of money. How about we go to the bar and have a drink?" She pouted, trying to draw him in with her innocent look. The cheapest drinks in Gab and Gabe's bar were priced at $700 and her throat itched for

"Evelyn," Chase called to get her attention but she wouldn't look up. After calling her a couple more times with no response, he pulled her up by the shoulder so he could see her face. Her eyes were bloodshot and swollen like she had cried all night and didn't get any sleep.Chase was taken aback by her look because she was always cheerful like everything was okay in the world. Although he knew she would have issues for her to be working there and taking all insults but he just thought it was the general problem. Money. But what he didn't know about was her dysfunctional family.Evelyn's mother had cancer and the doctors advised that she gets chemotherapy done in less than a month or she would die. There was no way under the sun that she could get $500,000 in a month. Even if she was given two years, it seemed impossible and her only brother who could have helped her was in prison for a crime he"What's wrong?" Chase crouched down on one knee to be on eye level with her."Nothing," sh
