“Please sign it here and here.” The notary said while giving a pen to Theodore and Samantha.Both of them were signing it alternately. This paper would change the whole company for both of them. Samantha and Theodore had been discussing this for the whole two weeks before. On the other hand, Theodore didn’t want Samantha to get tired because of managing the company.“Okay, so at the same time as signing this document, it is stated that the two companies have been merged.” The notary said confidently.“Yes, thank you.” Samantha and Theodore answered simultaneously.The notary nodded his head and copied the document into three bundles. Samantha would get one, Theodore also, and the notary. After finishing it all, Theodore escorted the notary to the front door.“Thank you for helping us.” Theodore said sincerely.“My pleasure, sir.

Theodore took a deep breath before he walked up into the stage. Preston already put the script speech on the podium, so Theodore just had to read it.“Good morning everyone, thank you for coming to today’s press conference.” Theodore stood tall and brave. “I am not going to give a long speech because I will answer some of your questions today.”Samantha attended and sat at the front table. Samantha smiled in pride when she saw his husband standing on the podium. Samantha was so happy to hear that Theodore had successfully handled both o

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Theodore." I shook his hand with a big smile."Hi Theo," he said, returning my handshake. "Please, sit."I sat down and faced the owner of this cafe. I tried to make a memorable first impression on him. I gave him the file that I brought."I saw a vacancy at this cafe, so I decided to apply." I explained briefly."Are you doing anything else out there?" The owner of the cafe looked at me sternly."Nothing; I have graduated, so I am now focused on working and taking care of my mother.""Oh okay. Here they work per shift, so the working hours are probably 5 to 6 hours." He linked his fingers on the table, which made him look more dignified. "The salary is 10 US dollars per hour. How?""Yes, no problem. I do," I answered confidently.I have no choice but to work and raise money for my mother's treatment."Okay, then starting tomorrow you can start working, Theo." The owner tidied up my files and then stood up from his seat.I stood up and replied, "Tha
Twenty-two years ago...A sparkling world that was always dazzling and made everyone fall into it. Tonight, a man was seen sitting alone in one of the front seats of the bar. It hasn't been 30 minutes since the man sat there, but there are already three empty bottles lined up in front of him.The man, who was about to turn 30, looked frustrated and sad. This could be seen from the way he sipped and finished every bottle of beer served. "Give me one more bottle." He shouted loudly while raising his index finger while tipsy.Without saying much, the bartender opened a bottle of beer with a 30% alcohol content in front of the man. In a matter of minutes, he gulped down the fourth bottle. Instantly, his head hung limply with his hand still holding the bottle of drink."ARGH!!!" He groaned as he banged the bottle on the table.Several eyes that were surprised by his groan turned and stared at the man with a sneer. They began to talk about him,
My cell phone alarm has been ringing for a few minutes. My ears heard it fine, but my consciousness refused to open my eyes. My left hand tried to find it and grabbed it, before my eyes slowly opened.At 07:27 AM. "Oh snap! I have to get up now," I muttered, immediately straightening up. My body was feeling sore from having to sleep sitting in front of the emergency room. I blinked my eyes several times before I stepped into the hospital bathroom. I washed my face and tidied my hair. I didn't have time to go home and clean up. I immediately ran to the cafe where I work."Come on, I can't be late on my first day of work." I decided not to ride a vehicle and chose to walk.Another five hundred meters, I would arrive while the time was already 07:58 AM. The pedestrian lights were still red and the cars were still hurtling down at top speed."Come on, hurry up." I mumbled while beating-tap my feet to the ground.The sound of the lights rang and my feet stepped swiftly. However, who would
Before my question got its answer, suddenly the cafe bell rang. A couple customers went in and were followed by a woman. I took a glance, and at the same time, my co-workers were calling me."Theo, can you help me?" He asked in front of the other customers.I looked back at Mr. Hawthorne and said, "I am sorry, Mr. I need to go back to work. Nice to talk with you." I stood up and took a bow in front of him."Theo," he called me again."Yes, sir" I asked quickly because I really needed to go back to work."Please contact my assistant later. I invite you for dinner tomorrow." Mr. Hawthorne said while standing up and bringing his drink.I didn’t even have a chance to answer; he just walked away, passing by me. I didn't have time to chase him because my co-workers started looking at me with his death glare. I ran back to the bar and helped him with the orders. Mr. Hawthorne's sentences made me unable to focus on my work."Axel, take this to table number three." My co-workers kept asking me
