“Okay, Ma'am.” Jason bowed slightly to her, and then he went into the toilet to clean, pushing the trolley until he got to the door to the bathroom. He wore the rubber hand gloves he found in the trolley, and then he pulled out the scrubber, the toilet brush, the mop stick, and then the bucket which he poured some detergents inside. He carried the bucket inside the bathroom, and then filled it with enough water before he began to wash the toilet with the brush. In less than twenty minutes, he was done washing the toilet that really didn’t have any need to be washed as there was so much proof that Xena didn’t make use of it. He mopped the floor and applied some air freshener for a good scent, as tiny sweatballs ran down his body. Wiping some of the perspiration on his face, he walked out of the bathroom, holding the bucket and the mop stick.“Are you done?” Xena asked with a loud tone as soon as she saw Jason waking out of the bathroom, panting gradually to the little fatigu
Jason took two steps backward with his eyes still staring at the door, and then he sighed softly before he proceeded to speak to Harry who was eager to hear what he was going to ask. “The Assistant Manager, I heard she started working here two years ago. I was wondering, how did she start to work here?” “You mean, Miss Xena Hunt?” “Yes, Harry. She is the one.“ Jason affirmed with a low tone, and then he listened attentively to hear what Harry was going to say from the other end of the line. “Miss Hunt used to be the Personal Assistant to the former Assistant Manager of the company, Mr. Liam. From the reports I gathered, she showed tremendous dedication to her work, and Mr. Liam spoke highly of her.” “Hmm? Okay?” Jason felt the sensation of contradiction that crept into his body as soon as he heard the words that Harry said from the other end of the line. “Two years ago, Mr. Liam got really sick and he couldn’t continue working with us. Xena covered up for him with so much
Jason looked at the middle-aged man for a while, not sure of what to say to him at that moment, seeing how exhausted he looked. “Out with it young man. I need to finish up and take a break.” The man said with a faint voice, still staring at Jason who had a strange smile on his face. “Alright, Sir. Just a moment.” Jason said calmly, and then he inhaled some air which he exhaled sharply while the man waited to hear what he was going to say. “Would you like to earn am extra two hundred dollars?” Jason asked with a firm tone, and then he looked at the man who looked at him from the crown of his hair to the sole of his shoes without saying a word.“Hello?” Jason waved at him after a few seconds of silence.“Are you into anything illegal here? What the hell are you talking about?” Matthew asked with his eyes wide open, and Jason shook his head to disagree with his words. “Not at all, Sir. I just want to offer you an opportunity to make an extra two hundred dollars, that’s of cours
Matthew thought about the question for a few seconds with his smile still intact, and when he had reached an amount within himself, he chuckled excitedly and nodded at the same time. “A thousand dollars won’t be bad at all.” “What?” “Yes!” Matthew said loudly while his smile disappeared and he more a serious look on his face. Jason was taken aback by his words, and he couldn’t believe how greedy he was trying to be. “A thousand dollars? That’s way too much, Sir.” “Well, that’s what I want,” Matthew said without being ready to budge, and Jason scoffed in so much surprise. “Look, man. You know I am just doing you a favor here. You look like you have to be somewhere really important, and I am trying to help you out here. By the way, I don’t think you would be losing a lot of money if you gave me an extra eight hundred bucks from the bundle you have in there.” Matthew pointed to the position Jason kept the rest of the cash he was with. Jason continued to stare at the middl
He continued through the hallway, walking as fast as his legs could carry him even though he wasn’t sure of his plans at that moment. Several thoughts ran through his mind, and he was finding it a bit difficult to place his hands on any decision he was going to make. He got into the elevator, and in less than five minutes he was on the last floor and decided to move out of the building as soon as he remembered that he needed to check on his son. He had taken a few steps away from the elevator when a voice called out to him from a distance, causing him to turn instantly. “Jason? Jason Caruso?” The female voice said, and instantly, Jason was filled with a sensational agonizing reminiscence as he saw the face of the person calling out to him. “Is that…” He couldn’t say the name of the person as merely thinking about it caused him so much pain as it caused the pains of betrayal to flood his mind.The lady who called out to him was tall and had brown-reddish hair flowing down he
Meredith waved at the dashing young man in a blue suit walking out of a room from a corner close to the foyer of the building. He had brown eyes and thick blond hair that made him stand out amongst most of the people he was walking across. “Liam! This way!” Meredith was able to draw his attention the moment he looked up, and as soon as he saw her, he smiled and started to saunter toward her. “That’s my man! That’s Liam.” Meredith chuckled with so much excitement, looking at Jason with her eyes shooting rays of ridicule at him. “Is this really necessary, Meredith? I am sure that the young man has a lot on his table, and wouldn’t want to spend so much time talking to a stranger.” “Oh no, not my Lian. He barely does anything in here. How would he even bother to work when there are capable hands everywhere? He just sits around and orders people to do his work.” “I see.” Jason nodded with a smile, taking note of all the things she said to him. “Oh, yes. Did I mention that he
Jason remained calm, while he watched Xena walk stylishly with her face looking like she had gotten into a fight with someone. “Isn't that your cousin?” Meredith said with a cheerful smile as soon as she saw Xena, and then she stopped at once even with Liam still holding her firmly. “What’s it, babe? You already saw her last night at dinner.” “I know, Liam. I just wanna show this loser that I know the Assistant Manager of this place.” Meredith insisted with a smirk on her face, and then she looked at Jason to be sure that he heard what she said. “Huu!” Liam grunted in a little displeasure, but he really didn’t want to argue with his fiancee.Almost immediately, Meredith turned to Jason with a smirk on her face, and after giving him a scornful look, she rolled her eyes at him. “That’s my fiance’s in-law, you boss. That’s Xena, the Assistant Manager of this place. I am sure she will be pleased to know that my ex-boyfriend now works for her.” Meredith sniggered at Jason, and
Meredith seemed a bit excited by the words she heard from Xena even though she would have preferred that she fired him in order to get rid of the guilt that she struggled to deal with. Xena took in a deep breath, and then she exhaled sharply, fuming with intense annoyance while she glared at Jason with so much scorn.“You over there! Yes, you! Come here, right now?” She pointed at Jason who waited for a few seconds before he slowly took two steps toward Xena. “I need you to stand right there this minute! Don’t make me ask twice!” Xena pointed to a spot on the marble tiles on the floor, but Jason remained where he was with a smile on his face. “What? Didn’t you hear her, you fool? I can see that you don’t value your job. You obviously have plans to go job-hunting soon.” Meredith said to Jason who looked at her and chuckled. “What’s so funny, Mr. Jason? Don’t you know how to respect your superiors? This could make you lose your job.” Liam said to Jason who turned his gaze to hi
