Chapter 29 - Pruning
That was quite a slap! Before we all had time to react, the intercom rang. I rubbed my cheeks while she went to pick up the phone. The stout guy looked at me sharply as if about to say something but the receptionist was holding on to his hand.
"Reception area, good day! ....Yes.....Yes..."
"HR..." She whispered looking at the man and pointing to the phone. Then she looks at me. She puts the phone down and told us,"We are to go up to HR office."
"Wait, I still have something to do..."the man wanted to object but the the lady was holding on to his hand. "This better not be trouble Trisha!"
Trisha. That must be the name of the receptionist.
"You too mister," She said to me as she turned in my direction going on ahead with the stout guy. "Don't worry honey. I think this is our chance to work in the same office and I can work on you," she whispered the last sentence but it was still too loud for me to hear.

He also gathered the rest of his team and introduced me as a newly hired cleaner. "These are the cleaning supplies you will need. Are you sure you want to clean the men's toilet?" "Yes. Where do the managers go?" "Managers office are at every floor depending on which department they are. but the toilet for them are at the 5th floor." "Okay then.

I was tapping my fingers on the table eagerly waiting for Clyde to make his appearance at the restaurant we agreed to meet at. I chose to have an exclusive booth where no one can see us and I can easily go in and out thru the backdoor. Of course, the restaurant belonged to my grandfather's chain of business and Clyde had already informed them of my passage. Knock...knock... "Get in." "Young master." He was starting to bow and the door was still open behind him. I hurriedly looked down with my cap over my face until I heard the door clicked. "Clyde, in public places like this, make sure nobody sees you bowing to me." I reprimanded him. "I am sorry young master." "Please take a seat." I invited him to a chair across from me. "Before you arrived at the toilet, I heard those two men speaking. The stout guy mentioned about a proposal. What new project do we have?" "Hmmm. The tie up with W*****n Office Co., what else could it be? " "Hahaha" I can't hold my laughter."Seriously?" I

Resh's POVI just came back from changing my shirt when it was announced that everyone should proceed to the adjacent part of the yacht for fireworks display and gift giving. As usual,we'd be last to get our ass out of the room so I sat first next to my wife, Patrice. I noticed her sweet smile as I took my seat. She was so pretty in her dark blue gown and I was quite ashamed to accompany her wearing one of those old shirts of Mister Mikael Vonne. I had no choice though. I'm not interested in parties like this but to show gratitude to the old man's help for putting a roof over my head and food to fill my tummy, here I am to fullfill one of his "deathbed wish", to present a valuable gift to his second wife, the lost ruby ring that once contained the poison given to him.A month before he died, one of the servants found the ring half buried in the garden.

A shower of lights flooded the dark sky. Everyone's head was turned towards the sky as myriads of colors burst all over. But my eyes were fixated on the woman before me. Her porcelain skin shone bright, as bright as her gleeful smile. Patrice looked so cute as her lips rounds up to express a silent WOW with each burst of the fireworks in the sky. Perhaps it won't be wrong to hope that one day I can hold her hand as we watch firewo
