Vincent carried a notepad along with himself as he tailed Mr Edward. He had to take notes of certain things about the company he had just fully started working in.As they discussed the position and responsibilities, Mr Edward elaborated on the company's vision and goals. He shared his journey and the values he held dear, emphasizing the importance of hard work, dedication, and continuous learning. Vincent found himself drawn to Mr Edward's words, realizing that this job was more than just an opportunity for financial stability; it was a chance for personal and professional growth.Feeling the connection grow between them, Vincent began to feel at ease. Mr Edward's warmth and genuine interest in his success made him confident that he was joining a supportive and nurturing workplace environment. Both of them saw potential in each other, and an unspoken bond formed during their conversation.By the end of the day, Vincent felt a sense of gratitude for his father's help in finding this j
"Fired?! But sir, what was my fault?! Am I getting fired just for not being nice to the newbie?!" Jack shouted.He stood before his boss, Mr Edward, with his fists clenched and his eyes displaying his fury."I'm sorry but we do not condone such behaviour in this company. If you can't behave properly and treat others with respect then how do you expect to handle the clients that come in?" Mr Edward stood his ground."This isn't fair! Vincent is nothing but a fucked up newbie! He doesn't even deserve to be here!" Jack shouted."That's enough! And you think you belong here with that attitude?! Look around you! Is there anyone else you see treating others the way you do?! Get out of my office, Jack." Mr Edward ordered, carrying a look of seriousness as he spoke.Jack gritted his teeth but said nothing more to his boss. He reached for the door to leave and Mr Edward spoke up again, "Get everything that belongs to you from your office and leave."Jack left Mr Edward's office and entered his.
"You got me fired from my job and you think there wouldn't be any consequences that will follow?!" Jack grinned."I don't know how many times you want me to say that it wasn't my intention to get you fired?!" Vincent retorted."Shut up you moron! Even if it wasn't your intention, what did you do to stop it from happening?! You just stood there waiting for me to get out of a place where I earned my spot!" Jack clapped back."Even if that happened, what right did you have to bring a maid into this matter? Why didn't you come directly for me?" Vincent asked."Well, it's easy. It's just that easy but you were too dumb to think everything through. Chloe here, she owes me money. A lot of it.""So, you are there a leader of this whole operation?" Vincent questioned.Jack scoffed, "Of course not. I just chose to take matters into my own hands since my boss didn't seem to have much interest in this district." Jack answered."And... Who is this boss of yours?" Vincent asked."What? You think I'm
Jack was inches, just inches away from smashing his phone against the wall before him.Jack and two others were the only ones that managed to get away from the police. Those that Vincent had beaten up couldn't run fast enough and they got caught."Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Jack smashed his gun against the floor. It shot out a bullet, making Jack run back in a jump."Fuck!" Jack exclaimed, seeing his life flash before his eyes."I swear I will make you pay Vincent. I will make you wish you were never born!" Jack shouted and picked up the gun afterwards."Jack, what are we going to do now? Big boss will be pissed when he finds out about this." one of the two men with Jack asked."Yeah, and he is going to punish us harshly for sure." the second man spoke."Just shut up and let me think!" Jack yelled."What if those caught rat us out to the police?" the first man questioned, feeling his heart race faster than a car."We'll be goners if they open their mouths." the second man added."I sa
That same night, Vincent and Chloe just returned to Vincent's parents' home.Vincent's parents ran to meet the both of them, hugging them and dropping so many apologies that all sounded unnecessary to Vincent."Why are you both apologizing when you both did nothing wrong?" Vincent looked at his parents questioningly, "The one who should be apologizing is Jack and that messed up the boss of his, whoever that is.""Who is Jack?" Mr Devine asked."That's the name of the man who got Chloe kidnapped and had his men strip her!" Vincent unknowingly let out his answer in an angry shout."Tell us how everything happened." Vincent's father said, letting them in immediately he realized he was holding them at the door.Vincent and Chloe walked in and sat on a sofa before Vincent started explaining everything to his parents.He told them how he got involved with a gang, how he unintentionally got Jack fired, and how he ended up saving Chloe from the thugs that took her and played with her body.Hea
incent flinched and looked at himself when he felt a tap on his shoulder kick him out of his inner thoughts. He sighed, regaining himself and seeing that it was just Sarah."Where have you mind been all this while? You haven't gone halfway through your workload since today." Sarah said, giving a worried look."I'm sorry. I was just..." Vincent paused for a while and then continued with, "nevermind. I'll continue working now. Sorry. No distractions anymore.""I hope so because Mr Edward will be asking for those any time soon now," Sarah replied and returned to her seat.Vincent brought his eyes down to his laptop and even as he tried very hard to focus, he couldn't help but let his mind wander.The truth was that, ever since last night, Vincent hasn't been able to get his mind off Chloe and the kiss they shared."I'm way too old for this," he mumbled and took some documents from his desk to read through.Later that night, as Vincent returned to his parents' place feeling exhausted, he c
Vincent knew that his relationship with Chloe would not be an easy one. Not only did they come from different social backgrounds, but their affair began under less-than-ideal circumstances. It's been two weeks since they started dating in secret and Vincent's thoughts raced as he considered the implications of his actions, particularly with regards to his family but then again, what harm could it cause? He was once porer than Chloe wasn't he?The next morning, Vincent woke up with a newfound determination. He knew that he needed to address the situation head-on and be honest with his parents, regardless of the consequences. As he got ready for the day, his mind was filled with questions about how he would approach the conversation.After a restless day at work, Vincent returned home with a heavy heart. He couldn't keep avoiding the inevitable conversation any longer; it was time to face his parents and reveal the truth. As he walked through the front door, Vincent resolved to gather
Yesterday passed like a blur of bad news and Vincent woke up to a new day. He checked the time on the wall clock in his bedroom and the time was 6:30 am. According to the person that called him yesterday, he had to be available at work by 8:00 am.Vincent hopped out of bed and straight to the bathroom where he began brushing his teeth. Afterwards, he took his bath and went downstairs for a cup of coffee which he made for himself.Vincent checked his wristwatch. Now it was 7:30 and he had thirty minutes left to get to work. He gulped down what was left of his coffee and dashed out of the house, taking the first available cab he saw.In a matter of twenty minutes, Vincent arrived at his workplace and made his way in. There was hardly anyone who had arrived as it was still early and not all come at the exact beginning of working hours.As Vincent entered the office building, he could sense an unusual tension in the air. Little did he know that this day would be like no other. His colleag
