(The Vacancy)

Mr Walter sat on his office chair with a mug of tea, he's been accounting how his business expenses and transportation have been going for a month. He wasn't sure of what to do, he sighed deeply staring at the files on his table with a frown. 

   "I need to get an accountant before things get out of hand, I can't afford to go bankrupt again"He thought, flipping to the next page of the file.

He dropped the mug angrily, and checked the files from each company, Walter Properties, Walter Sushi and Fruit Restaurant, Walter Water Cooperation and Juice, Walter Peanuts and Flakes Industry. Walter Memorial High School, Walter Beauty and Cosmetics, Walter Pharmaceutical Industry and so on. He dropped his pen with full tiredness, he breathed out staring at the remaining files still un touch. 

"I need an accountant for fifteen companies"He thought.

"Can the person do this all?"He's conscience scold.

"Of course she can, If I get a male accountant. He will embezzle my money"He thought and scoffed at his naughty thoughts.

 A knock distracted his thoughts.

"Mr Walter"The voice called out.

"Come in,"He said, arranging his files.

   The door opened gently revealing a lady in her twenties.

"You called for me sir?"She asked.

"I want you to login into the company website and announce a vacancy. An accountant and a personal assistant, Male or female can apply"He instructed.

"I will do as you commanded,"she said and walked away.

   Shortly after her departure she rushed in again as if she was chased.

"You are fired Nova"He screamed.

"Am sorry sir, but Mr Adams is here. I was trying to stop him but he barged in without listening to me, he even pushed me away."Nova cried, dusting her cloth.

"Call the cops, you can leave"He muttered.

"Am I not fired?"She asked.

Mr Walter stared at her with a deadly glare.

" Do you want to get fired?"He muttered. 

   Nova nodded her head negatively and rushed out. Mr Adams burst inside his office and grabbed his collar angrily.

"How dare you touch my contract?"He roared angrily.

"Did you feel the pain?"Mr Walter asked with a chuckle.

"How dare you"Mr Adams roared and punched his face, Mr Walter chuckled.

"Beating me won't let you get the contract but will actually ruin your reputation. How nice will it be to have this conversation live on social media and all other countries Adams"He uttered with an evil smirk.

   Mr Adams hand dropped and looked around his office, trying to get a glimpse of his secret camera. 

"What have you done this time around?"He stuttered.

"Wow, so nice to hear your cool voice,"Mr Walter chuckled.

"I swear to God I will ruin you, I will ruin the people you love"Mr Adams muttered furiously.

"Not like I have one, but you can't find my biological Families"He uttered, picking up his suit jacket and left his office, leaving Mr Adams in total astonishment.

"I will step down for the meantime Collins"Mr Adams muttered, gritting his teeth.

  Immediately Collins stepped out of his company reception, reporters rushed to him for questions and answers.

 👥Mr Collins Walter, what happened between you and Mr Drake Adams.

👥I heard you were business partners and Best friends before.

👥Why did you ruined his contract.

 "Because it's illegal" he gave the last reporter a response.

👥 ILLEGAL?" The reporters stuttered.

 "Should I ruin his reputation"Collins thought.

👥Do you have evidence

   "I do " he replied with an evil smirk on his lips and brought some files from his case. He turned around and faced the female reporter and handed her the evidence she needed.

👥one more question" A reporter screamed.

👥 When are you getting married"The male reporter asked. 

  Collins' hands dropped from his car handle, his eyes turned red immediately.

"Ask questions about my business and not my personal life or else you won't be able to work in any company you step foot on."he threatened and sat inside his car. 

"My favorite spot"He said to his driver and looked sideways. The squeaking of the tyres could be heard.

  Piper and Riley sat down at the local coffee shop, looking at how some fellow customers were drinking their coffee. She's really craving for a mug of coffee but she doesn't have enough money to buy one. She was almost close to tears when Riley spoke up.

"I really wished I had enough money,"Riley pouted.

"Same here, but I don't have money with me"Piper uttered, looking at the time on the wall clock.

"Fifteen minutes after twelve"She said, picking up her torn bag from the table.

"Are you leaving now "Riley asked.

"As you can see,"she replied.

"Let's take a rest"Riley pouted.

"Not here,"Piper uttered, winking at her.

   Riley had no choice but to follow her, the announcement for the shop TV distracted them.

"Yes, An accountant and A marketer. It's you and I"Piper screamed, hugging Riley.

"Yes, but they said 5am in the morning, which type of interview is that?"Riley scoffed.

"I was also wondering, maybe they made a mistake,"A female customer said behind them.

"I don't care about the time, in fact I will be at the company by 4am in the morning"Piper uttered.

"You are kidding right?"Riley asked.

"Do I look like I am "Piper asked.

"What, why will you go to the company by 4am in the morning. That's crazy and creepy"Riley muttered.

"Whatever,, I am going home, when you are ready to come home let me know" Piper said, running out of the shop.

"I must get this job, if not for nothing at least for my mom and younger siblings"she thought running down the street that leads to their home. Riley's voice could be heard below.

Piper and Riley walked inside their house.

"We are home Mom"They screamed but got no response.

"They might be in the living room,"Riley uttered, walking to the living room. 

"What's happening here Mom?"Piper asked.

"Who is this old man here?"Riley asked, sitting on the couch.

"I'm sorry for being a bad mother Piper,"Mrs Walker cried.

"It's fine Mom, but who is this old man here?"Piper asked again.

"He's here to take you,"Mrs Walker cried on her shoulder.

"Take me to where"Piper asked, storming on her feet.

"Your Dad sold you in exchange for drugs and debts"Mrs Walker stuttered miserably.

"What"Riley screamed, standing up on her feet. Piper looked shocked.
