Not Your Average Son-in-law 102: Cupbearer For The Meeting.
"I want you to be in this meeting, Gavin." A brief smile showed itself on Mr. Brax's face.Gavin was confused. He could not really tell why was it that the boss had to call just him to come stay for the job. He was sure that the man did not like him, so he could not just lie to himself that it was because Brax found him to be special, like his brain was telling him to. At first he was willing to live with the question dancing around in his head, but then in a few seconds after, he felt really uncomfortable about keeping such a thing living rent free inside of him, especially as he saw that there really was no need to have him there, when literally they were other people around, and after knowing quite for himself that Mr. Brax, really did not like him as a person."Sir," Gavin began, in the most humble of ways a person could possibly go in talking to a person they recognized as superior, "Can I be honest with you?""Sure, knock yourself out," said Mr. Brax. "You were not going to l

A moment after Mr. Brax's speech, his phone went abuzz, and he picked up the call."Oh you are coming already?" he asked with such gusto in his voice."Yes, of course I am," the voice from the other end of the call said."Alright then."The call was immediately ended, and Mr. Brax' attention was shifted back to Gavin."Now on you, are you going to be the cupbearer or not? I need your answer fast. Don't waste my time. I do not have time to be wasting on frivolities like that, I have a company to look after, and I have money to make. I bet you may not know anything about that, eh, is that not right, Gavin?"Gavin kept quiet like he was thinking it through in his head. Mr. Brax noticed that he had been quite silent for some time now, and then decided to add something else to it."Oh this is not a decision to make for you. It is not a choice that can be taken without any consequences. If you do not choose the post I am offering you, you will be fired right here, right now. I already told
Not Your Average Son-in-law 104: Lousy Bottom Feeder.
"You disgrace of a human being," Mr. Brax said at the top of his lungs. "How dare you forget to greet an important visitor as Mr. Evans over here. What is going on in your head, you sorry excuse for a person. I ought to have you fired and make sure you do not work anywhere else, you lousy bottom feeder."Gavin was taken aback by Mr. Brax' words for a mere mistake like that. Although he truly expected such a response from him, he just did not know that it would be that quick into the meeting.The emissary chuckled. "You do not worry about this, Mr. Brax. Neither should you be surprised. You know that low lives like him would always be like this, how else do you think they got stuck in the position they are in life after all? Do you think it was because they were sensible in their dealings? It is always because they are incompetent."Mr. Brax laughed. He was happy, as he was expected to be. These were the kind of conversations that he liked, the type that puts down others under the ass

Brax was shocked at the new discovery. "What?" He yelled out, grabbing the edge of the table. "I did not know this. How on earth does Thomas, the Thomas that owns the Morano City Bank, the most prosperous bank in this side of the country—how on earth does he have a boss?"Gavin watched a shocked Brax, his mouth wide open, wondering how on earth what he heard was even a possibility. Gavin was almost thinking to himself that if Brax was shocked at this little news, it would be quite a thrilling thing to see what he would look like when the next big news would hit him.Brax looked at Gavin who was smirking at the time. Gavin frowned immediately as though he was never smiling. Brax' eyes turned back to face Evans who had his face as he had always kept it, in a serious fashion. His eyes almost never blinked under the glasses he wore."I see that you are not joking," said Brax, taking a sip of wine from his glass cup. "But if mysterious Thomas, who is all great and powerful, has a boss, w

"Before coming here, I was duly informed that the new boss would be in the company, that is, he would be coming here not so long after everything that has been said, is done." Evans nudged at once, after signing one of the documents."Oh is that so?" Brax said in a wonder lust tone. He had been unable to hide his sense of amazement and how bamboozled he was after he was told that Thomas had a boss that was over him. Gavin found himself struggling between not laughing, and then trying not to keep a face so stern that it would have people thinking he was frowning. But he was sure that if Brax so much as said another "oh" he would most definitely laugh his brains out.Evans brought out a red envelope that had a white seal on it. He dropped it on the table, making a flapping sound that caught Brax attention."What is this, something more to be signed?" Brax held the envelope and looked at it curiously, almost like what a gorilla would do if he found a radio transmitter, or a cell phone

Gavin gave a knowing look at Evans, who stared back at him as though to ask if he might be mad for looking at him that way. There were many things Gavin wanted to say to him, but he held his tongue, not really because he feared losing his job, but really because if he said anything to the man, it would immediately ruin the surprise that was waiting for them in the nearest future.Gavin swallowed his pride, as he had always done, bowed his head again and began opening the door to go get the equipment needed to clean up the office."Where are you going, you ingrate?" Mr. Evans held him back. "Are you so low in culture and class that you are forgetting that you ought to apologize and ask for forgiveness for your insolent behavior.Gavin turned back around, paused and looked at the two of them. Mr. Evans was really indeed pushing him. But he bowed again. "I am sorry, Mr. Brax. I will not do it again." "Be sorry for yourself" Brax said in an insidious manner, rolling his eyes back and fo
Not Your Average Son-in-law 108. Thomas Winnick’s Superior.
Gavin had always had problems with his co-workers. On one hand they were jealous of how hard he worked, seeing him toil day and night doing two jobs. They secretly wanted to be as hardworking as he was, but could not dare tell him to his face, lest they felt he would judge them, or their own sick conscience would judge themselves.On another hand they despised and disrespected him, not only because he was working hard in two jobs that only paid him peanuts, but because he was also considerably lonesome. Gavin never talked to anyone. He was always alone by himself, quiet, hardly making a fuss of anything, and hardly doing anything that would make a fuss out of him.This brought the thought to their heads that perhaps he sincerely believed he was better than them in all ramifications.They would look at his worn out clothes, his cleared old shoes that should be thrown away, and laugh wondering how such a person who could not take care of himself, despite the jobs he worked, could even l

Meghan was already in her parents' house. She felt goosebumps on her body as she laid on the bed. Her mom peeked through the window and saw just how relaxed she was."Now do you not consider yourself free?" her mom said. Her tone was somewhere in the middle of being happy, and being sober. A smile drew itself on her face."Well, I will not. I kind of do." Meghan got up from the bed, and with a few steps away she hugged her mom. "I promise that I will never fall for a man like Gavin again.""Well, I'll take your word for it," Mrs Stallion said."Well, well, well a happy mother and daughter moment that I was not invited to." Sophie's voice floated in the room. Both women looked at her standing at the door."You know it's not like that, Sophie." Mrs Stallion laughed shyly."Well whatever" Sophie whistled. "Dad said he wants the both of you in the living room. You know we just got out of jail and have to sort things out not just in the family front, but as well, in the company front."Th

Thomas responded to Gavin because he felt better after speaking with him, and he was also relieved to be alive because he knew how dangerous the underground network could be."Great, but I know you did not just call me to exchange pleasantries; what is going on?"
