When the news that the company was employing people and in need of employees, it went around like wildfire , and it seemed to be all that people could talk about on social media. Many of them saw it as an opportunity to get closer to Jason, and even more of them thought that they could use it to climb the ladder of success. He had scheduled the interview date for a few weeks ahead, and had given a P.O box and and address for applications to be sent to, yet he struggled with finding anything in his email box as he was sent folder after folder.It got so bad that he could not go out to get his mail or deliveries without receiving at least 6 resume copies. He had forgotten how the people of his town were and how they saw business opportunities, and he was paying very dearly for his foolish mistake.He had gotten Instagram DMS, calls so incessant that he had to change phone numbers, and had even put out disclaimers so people would stop reaching out to him. When he tried to ask Ashley wh
He noticed that he could only hear the click of his and Jose's shoes on the tile, so he turned around and pointed at both men. “You and you, follow me"When he still did not hear the clatter of their shoes, he turned around and raised a brow.“Are you coming?” As the two men walked forward towards him, the rest of the people in the crowd began to grumble, muttering about the unfairness of the situation. In all honesty, one one hand, Jason understood where they were coming from because he had arrived late and almost immediately singled out those two men. And now it seemed like he had done that to skip them ahead of everyone else on the line. But then again, on the other hand, he was still the employer and he was still the one with all the cards to play, so he could do whatever he decided he wanted to. Getting into the elevator karma he waited for the two women to get closer to him.Upon seeing that the elevator was waiting for them, they both rushed forward and shoved themselves in,
“Would you like me to park the car?” asked Jose, looking at him through the rearview mirror. Nodding, Jason said that he should pack at the curb, and Jose did just that. They were parked close enough to the curb that Jason could hear what they were talking about and he listened intently for the privileged man's response to his daughter. "Oh sweetie, I got the job and I was offered a very big salary. Daddy is going to be making a lot of money and he will buy you all the toys in the world, everything you want!”Jumping on her small feet, the little girl exclaimed,“Yay daddy! Can we get some ice cream and some waffles to celebrate?”nodding his head quietly, her father responded in the affirmative, his face kind,"Yes we can anything you want. I think I saw a stand not too far away from here. We can walk or I can carry you-”Before he completed that statement, she squealed in excitement, “Piggy back ride!” With a laugh and a nod, her father agreed and lifted her up onto his back.He st
P.S; Dear readers please if you love I continue this book, please do well to drop your comment in the comments section for this book. Thank you so much. ****“What? No! I can't pick something like that!” he exclaimed, moving away from them. What they were asking of him was too much, especially since it could ruin their life. The person he got fired could be their family's breadwinner, or something equally as important.“If you can't choose, then we will,” said Jude, smiling.“Why not Mrs. Finley?” “The math teacher? You can't possibly be serious-” Sensing his reluctance over her, the others harped on it and told him that that was who they wanted him to get into trouble. He wanted to take a walk and figure out why they wanted this, and as a result he went back down memory lane, thinking of all of the things that Mrs Finley had done for him. She had always been the kindest to him of all his teachers, and she had known of his financial situation and made it easier for him to go throug
Unfolding the piece of paper and pulling it closer to his face, he could make out a few printed figures, and he read it out, the words not making sense to him.Reading it aloud, he said,“We are watching you.”Startled, he threw it down to the floor and stepped back. He did not spare the thought that it had been the Big 5, any of his time.He had just left them, and the shaky font was an exact replica of the first one that he had been sent. Besides, the Big 5 used less covert messaging, and were direct about all of their threats. He had believed that they were being genuine when they told him that they had not sent that note, and so it had to be someone else.But how did whoever wrote it manage to get into his room? He had guards and maids working around the clock, and the thought of one of them being foolish enough to allow a stranger into his room was hard for him to stomach.Turning the knob of his door, he went out into the hallway to query them, although he already knew the answ
Sighing, he picked up his phone so he could call Ashley,the only friend who got him. Even though she had mentioned that she did not know what to do and that the choice was up to him, he would feel better if she just listened to his dilemma.Too much was going on in his life currently, and the boys he thought were his friends were currently putting him in the most uncomfortable situation, and he did not know what to do with that. If he could just get Ashley to make a suggestion, tell him what to do, everything would turn around, he was sure of it. Picking up his phone, he sent a quick text to her, asking if he could come over. He barely felt safe in his home, and he felt like some time out of it, taking a break to himself was for the best. Jose would not be privy to the fact that he was leaving the mansion.Going into the bathroom to relieve himself, he tossed the phone on the bed and then came back to pick it up. A sigh of relief left his lips when she agreed and asked him to come
Chapter 35Half an hour later, dinner came to an end, putting everyone at the table out of their misery. Jason had been anticipating the end just so he could go back to his mansion and make a decision concerning the Big 5, but as it turned out, the patriarch of that household had something else in mind. Smiling tightly at his daughter, he asked her to go to her room. “Ashley, kindly go up into your room. Don't worry about our guest here, I will see him out of the house.”“But Dad!” protested Ashley, still holding on to her memories of her father mistreating poor Jason. She suspected that now that Jason was rich, her father was looking for a way to exploit Jason, and she wanted to protect him. Yet, something in his eyes warned her not to try to disobey him, so she did as he asked and climbed up the stairs. Smiling at Jason, Ashley's father held one hand out to guide Jason out. “Come along, son. Would you like to take a seat before you have to move to your car? Dinner was pretty hea
Seeing that Jason was not going to volunteer any more information, Ashley turned to her father with her arms crossed over her chest.“What do you have to say for yourself? You're always talking about integrity and being honest and true to oneself, all of that bullshit. So now, tell me, is he telling the truth? Is it really as bad as that? Tell me that this has been grossly exaggerated and it's not actually as bad as this.” Frozen in place, her father's mouth gaped open and shut in shock, and she waited for his response, angry at all of his deceit. He could almost not talk and Jason felt pity for him, wondering how it must have felt to be cornered by your own child about your transgressions.He stood there like he had made the error of swallowing his words, and he did not know what to say.Reaching out a hand to Ashley, he tries to apologize, whispering so his voice did not carry too far.“Ash, I'm so sorry. It's not like I was trying to be a terrible person. I just could not allow th
