Chapter 2 Chapter two

• Adams POV...
• "Bring me my coffee!" I yelled to my errand boy.
• He stagers into my office with the coffee in his hand. He puts it on my table and leaves.
• With my concentration on the laptop I was operating, I used my left hand to pick up the cup of coffee and sipped it.
• I spit out the coffee immediately it touched my tongue.
• "Henry!" I shouted.
• "Yes sir?" He answers from outside my office and enters.
• "What sort of coffee is this?!" I yelled.
• "Uh... The creamy type sir?" He answered, not even sure of what he was saying.
• "I said black coffee! I never asked you to add cream to it!" I yelled in anger.
• "I'm so sorry sir. Please forgive me." He pleaded.
• "I don't even know what to do with you! You are so useless!" I told him.
• "You never get anything right! Now leave my office you fool!" I added and he runs out.
• "What an idiot. Always distracted and lazy and of course he just had to be clumsy too. I said his name almost five times and when he finally comes he messes things up." I said aloud.
• "Everyone of my employees must have heard me clearly but that boy!" I added.
• I look my telephone and dial the number belonging to my secretary, Charles.
• "Hello sir." He said.
• "Come into my office." I said and dropped the call.
• My secretary comes in after a few seconds.
• "I'm here sir." He said.
• "I need you to find a new errand boy for me. Someone who is trust worthy and hard working. This one has become as lazy as the others before him." I said.
• "It will take sometime sir but I will make sure to do my best." He replied.
• "Good to hear. You may leave." I said.
• Charles leaves my office and I relax my back on my chair.
• "I am so exhausted." I said.
• I am a businessman. I choose to keep my personal life secret from my employees. I believe it is not wise for a wealthy and rich man like me to expose too much about myself. I work 24/7 and don't even have time for myself. I prefer to live life to the fullest at any chance I get.
• I hate it when any one of my employees start slacking in work.
• Once I notice such a person I get them fired and replaced immediately. Because of this habit of mine my employees tend to work harder than the employees of any other company. Time is money and I don't wish to waste my time.
• "Back to work." I said to myself.
• Dave POV...
• It's getting late and I have to hurry up to make it home on time. Hilton already left eight hours ago.
• "Hurry up with that car Dave. We have to close for the day soon." My boss said.
• "I don't like it whenever I reach home very late. It's because I always meet my mother awake and worried waiting for me. My mother is my world so I want her to sleep on time so that nothing happens to her health.
• I rushed everything and managed to finish on time.
• "I'm done sir." I said to my boss.
• "Okay. Take the tools inside and go home." My boss said.
• I took all the tools inside and locked the door of the shop.
• I and my boss finally parted ways and went home.
• I reached home and as expected my mother is there waiting for me, seated on a chair.
• "Mother. I've told you time and again never to this again. When it's time for you to sleep do so. Don't stress yourself because of me." I said.
• "Dave, my son, you know I can't sleep till you are back from work. You are the only one i have and if anything happens to you I might as well kill myself." She said.
• "No, mother don't say that. Nothing will happen to me and you will not kill yourself." I said.
• My mother smiles at me. She kisses my forehead and prays for me.
• "I love you my son. And I'm sure that if your father was alive he would be very proud of you." She said.
• "I love you too mother. Nothing I do would succeed if not for your prayers for me." I said.
• We hugged each other and went to sleep. Tomorrow is another day.
• The next morning...
• I woke up and I noticed that my mother wasn't next to me.
• "Where is she?" I said as I push open the door wide open.
• "Mother!" I shouted.
• I looked everywhere around our house but still couldn't find her.
• "Where could she be? What could have happened to her?" I said feeling so confused.
• "Dave." I heard my mother's voice say.
• "Mother? Where did you go?" I asked her.
• "I only went to see my long time friend. I saw her just across the street. What happened?" My mother asked.
• "Nothing. I just got worried. You should have told me before leaving." I said.
• "You were sleeping. I didn't think it right to wake you up just because I want to cross the street." She said and laughed.
• "It's not funny mother." I said in protest to her reaction.
• "Sorry Dave. I just can't help but laugh. Just see the look on your face." She said.
• I frowned childishly and went back into the house.
• "Dave." She said and went after me.
• After I took my bath I went to buy breakfast.
• I'm running out of money but luckily for me it's almost the end of the month. I just hope that my boss will pay me on time this month.
• "Mother I'm going to get us some food." I said.
• "Okay Dave, but be back soon." She replied.
• I went to the the usual shop I bought stuff from. The woman who owns the shop frowns after seeing me. I knew right away what would come next.
• "Good morning madam. How are you doing today?" I greeted but she pays no attention to my greetings.
• "Have you come to borrow something else?! If yes then you better find another shop to buy from because I can't lend anything to you anymore." The woman replied.
• "Madam I came with money today. I'm not borrowing." I said.
• "Really? Bring the money to me." She said and I gave it to her.
• "This is going to be part of the payment for what you've borrowed the other times." She said.
• My mouth fell open.
