A week has passed since the last task and Tristan has recovered from everything that went down the last time, he soon accepted that Drake Hart's death was for the better good, more like a payback for the lives that had been lost and a solution to losing more lives.As requested, he met with the president during the week but requested that their meeting not be open to the public. His request was considered and a meeting was set.Meeting the president in person was like a dream come true to him, but he tried not to act overly excited knowing his eminence. The rest of the week, Tristan bonded with his mother, taking her on expensive vacations, As for Jennes, she returned to Florida where she assumed her new position as the new boss, but her love for Tristan remained unmoved, she knew that working together may give her some advantages.Tristan's mother during one of their vacation with Harry, asked what he thought of Jennes, she explained how much she liked her compared to Claudia, but n
"I want to know what makes you think that Mr Coleman will accept your application?" Paul's mother ranted, She had asked him to try looking for a job before graduation just so that he could get situated afterward only to hear that he had applied at Coleman's Cooperative to become their data analyst."I had to start somewhere mom, I need to get situated as you said, I can't keep living on your money, it has embarrassed me enough since Tristan disclosed that to the entire college after that incident. I'm considering moving and out and living alone, paying my bills and maybe people will look at me more differently."Paul said with his eyes fixed on the television screen.He knew for a fact that Tristan may not accept his application and that Tristan despised him, but he decided to give it a try since there was no harm in that. He has been embarrassed enough in college, being called a mother's boy daily.He also believed that it was the same reason why Laura refused to listen to him anymor
New suit, a black tie, black shoes, and, well-combed hair, Paul tried to look his best for the interview, receiving the letter of approval two nights ago was like a dream to him."Maybe the person who saw the application was not Tristan?" he thought, but till this morning he couldn't wrap his head around the fact that he got a chance to be interviewed for work.As he hopped into the car, he hoped that things would not crumble to dust, he took every certificate and document required except for one which he was yet to get. Holding onto the steering wheel, he took a deep breath and tried to stay positive.He hadn't seen Tristan for about a month and imagined how awkward their first meeting was going to be, but he tried to shave these thoughts off to avoid being too nervous and losing the job entirely for that reason.Thirty minutes later, his car was packed in front of the huge establishment, as he stepped out, he stared at the structure before him, his scanned every corner before proceed
After seeing the fourth person, Tristan heaved a sigh of relief, until he realized that there was still one more person to interview. Looking at the name on the list, a frown came upon his face."Of course it's him," he scoffed and placed a call to the clerk to let Paul in.While waiting for him to arrive, Tristan asked the system,"Do you think this is a good idea? I still don't trust this guy."[ Once again, it was only a suggestion, not an order]Tristan contemplated for a while, he knew how awkward it was going to be speaking to Paul after that incident, but then again he reminded himself that he was the boss and that he had all the power.His thoughts were disrupted by a knock on the door, and Tristan adjusted himself on the seat before saying,"Come in."The door opened to reveal a young man dressed, unlike he remembered. With the black suit and tie coupled with black shoes and a briefcase, Tristan almost let out a chuckle as it seemed that Paul had dressed his best for the inte
His face was void of any welcoming smile, he couldn't believe how trashed he was treated even though it was expected. He regretted the day he made Tristan's life hell, but it was time to move on and wait for his final results."Excuse me, sir?" The clerk disrupted Paul's train of thought, causing him to face her instantly while wondering what she wanted from him."You have to sign before you leave sir." The clerk added with a smile."Just look at her smiling," Paul thought, but he couldn't stop someone from smiling because he didn't get the job he hoped for.He walked up to the desk and signed where she showed him, and before he could leave, she handed him a letter with a smile."I'm looking forward to working with you, congratulations sir."Tristan raised a brow wondering if the clerk had gone insane, or was mocking him to make matters worse. "What do you mean?" He asked, but the clerk did not respond, she only gave him the letter and with a smile she said."Have a nice day sir, and
"What do you mean Mom? I won't get married anytime soon, for Christ's sake Mom I'm twenty-four," Tristan replied to his mother's joke with a laugh."My cousin married at twenty-two, youths these days wait till they are fifty to get married, I mean look at you, you are settled already." His mother argued further."Haha," Harry laughed from the dining table, where he was enjoying dinner."I know right?" Tristan reacted,"I'm still contemplating, so don't expect to see a bride any time soon," He adjusted himself on the chair."Anyways Mom," Tristan diverted the conversation,"I'm going to an orphanage home tomorrow, want to come? " He asked, whilst reducing the volume of the television." Oh, that's good, and I'll be happy to come along, it feels good to help these children. You know sometimes I feel bad that they've got no parents, it's just … not fair." She added." Yeah, I'd be visiting about four of them, but one a day, I'll visit more of them in the future." He added, trying to hide
The environment was unlike Tristan and expected it to be, the hygiene was the worst, and the building needed to be amended and the rooms were too small to contain five kids.He had woken up that morning ready for his new task. Along with his mother, Tristan went to a clothes shop and purchased clothes of different sizes, shoes, and bags, watches and bracelet just to see those kids smile.But the frown on his face when he got there was unbelievable, the situation of the place was the worse and he couldn't believe how poorly this orphanage home was managed, learning that five kids shared a room made made him even angrier. The staff who were here lazed around and only did what they wanted any time they wanted, leaving the kids on their own to be taken care of by the older ones until they were ready to resume their work.The children looked malnourished, and staring at them felt like staring at a bunch of skeletons, with their ribcage visible from their skin, this hurt Tristan so much t
"Shut it down, sir?" Benson exclaimed I'm astonishment."I don't like people like these, he'll learn from today's experience," Tristan said with a sneer, before walking into the cluster of 4-8-year-olds that surrounded his mother."They are so lovely," she said to him with a smile, and Tristan smiled back, he hated that the system asked him not to interfere in his mother's choice of who to adopt, else he would have convinced her to take one of them that she liked. Also, these were kids, the system specified two middle school children, but this orphanage home only houses little kids." Look, I made a bracelet," A little girl tapped him with an innocent smile on her face, she raised the thread that she had tied at both ends and showed it to Tristan.Her naivety was amusing to him, but he only bent down and smiled at her, " It looks great," he said." You can have it," she added and gave it to Tristan who couldn't resist her smile and accepted the bracket. To make her even happier, he
