CHAPTER 28

LAWRENCE'S POINT OF VIEW I looked at my loving wife,  she was still falling asleep. I kissed her on the forehead before doing my morning routine. "My love, " I called her as soon as I finished putting on my clothes. I sat down on the bed beside her. Her pointed nose,  her lips that was red as the rose,  those thick long eyes lashes of her, and also her messy her. She was still beautiful even though she is still asleep. I move away from the hair that was covering her face and put it on the back of her ears. I stared at her like I always did waking up in the morning. Kristine was the most beautiful thing that happened to me. Since my brother died,  while on the surgery,  my parents blamed me for that and disowned me. Kristine was the only person that was there for me. She became my crying shoulder and comfort zone. At the end,  of the day every time that I needed her, she was been always been there for me and supported me all the time. She was never been harsh with me. She gave her best to be the best loving wife. She became a sister, best friend,  closest friend,  or anything that I needed. She was the one that I never wanted to lose. She was the girl that everyone could be wanting to marry. I marry her because of her personality, not her looks. We never had our disagreement. Even though she was five years older than me,  it didn't matter to me, as long as we loved each other,  it doesn't matter at all, all I know is that I love her. "Kristine, " I softly called her name. She was still fast asleep,  so I know she would not hear me. I put my hands on her face and gently touched it. I lowered my head to whisper something in Kristine's ears. I whispered to her and tell "You are the best thing that happened to me.  No one could ever take you away from me. You were the best gift that was given to me. You are my angel that was sent by heaven. I wish you would never get bored with me. I love you!" I then kissed her on the forehead. I was lost in my thoughts thinking about our future kids together. Suddenly,  I felt my phone vibrate. I rummaged my hand inside my pocket to find my phone. After I few seconds I finally found it. I looked at who was calling. It was... "Mr. Walson! My boss, " I whispered. I stand up and get out of the room and go down to our dining area. Kristine doesn't know that I worked with him. She also doesn't know my work,  I lied to her about it. She doesn't have to know after all. "Hello! Boss?" I asked as I answered the phone call. "What time are you going in here? I dont have all day,  Lawrence. There are a lot of things you had to assist in here. And I also have something to discuss with you very important," he stated. What important thing does my boss want to discuss with me? I thought he had said everything to me on Friday,  last week. Does he have another work for me? But he has ordered me a lot. I still haven't finished them all. These past few days,  a lot of things and responsibilities have been transported on me. I was not used to it,  but I have to. Since one of his trusted men was killed on the buy-bust operation. I just took a deep breath and sighed. "When would you discuss it with me,  Sir?" I politely asked him. I waited for his response. "Today!" He replied coming from the other line of the call. "What time---?" He cut me a sentence and spoke. "Be in here before 9:30 A.M. sharp. I would be waiting for you in the office. Also, the report from the last transaction that I ordered from you last Monday gave it to me too. This is an important thing so dont be late, " he stated and ended the phone call. Sometimes I can't understand him. He wanted the work to quickly without any time to do it properly. I looked at my watch to see what time is it. It was 7:00 in the morning. I would just cook first for my wife,  and eat a little bit while, finishing the report and eating, while my wife was still asleep. This report is for the last four months so it is too many. My wife would not have to see it,  so she would not know my work. Because if she knew,  she would not be happy about it. ************************************** I just finished cooking and eating. The files were now finished being printed,  I put them in the folder,  and also get the files I hide and put them inside the plastic envelope. I looked at my watch to see what time it is, it was 8:20 A.M. I needed to go now because the drive would be 20-40 minutes. I dont wanna be late,  because Mr. Walson would be furious at me. I snatched my car keys from the table,  and get the plastic envelope. I make sure to delete the copy from the USB and laptop. So that Kristine would not see it when she uses the laptop and USB. I make sure to lock the door before going out. I opened my car door and throw the envelope on the chair beside me,  before hopping inside the car. I started the car engine and drove off. My wife was still asleep, and I didn't want to bother her with comfortable sleep. Since she was sleeping tightly,  she sleep 4 in the morning,  because she finishes her favorite Netflix series. After exactly driving for at least 35 minutes,  I was finally in the hideout. I get the plastic envelope where I put the files that Mr. Walson wants. I parked my car,  near the parking, some other cars,  the motorbike was in there too. I walked towards Mr. Walson's office,  as I was holding the envelope. Some of my co-workers were unloading the drugs from the truck. There were loads of plastics and boxes full of illegal drugs inside it. Yesterday,  four trucks came in here full of drugs that were cams from a different country. Some of the business tycoons,  CEO,  businessman,  etc,  was wanting to order from us. We are the top suppliers in the country. The ship was four times a week,  and a lot of trucks were coming in and out of the hideout to unload the illegal drugs inside it. The boxes were unloaded on the warehouse of some masculine men. Different drugs were in here you can find it all in here. Every drug lord was coming in here to choose the finest and good quality of our goods. They met Mr. Walson every Thursday because that was the day every transaction was being held when one of the drug lords was coming in here to check personally the illegal drugs they were going to buy. I sometimes take drugs because it was part of being a member here. Every time we close big transactions we would celebrate with wine,  drugs,  and cigarettes. Mr. Walson would give us free illegal drugs to enjoy for ourselves. I tried it sometimes and it feels like heaven. It feels like all your problems were all gone,  you won't even think of a problem. Whenever Mr. Walson gave me some,  I would try it,  but sometimes I gave it away to my co-workers. I dont wanna see myself being addicted to drugs. I finished walking and reached the front door of Mr. Walson's office. I knock to let him know I was in there. "Who is that?" He asked. "It is me, Lawrence, " I answered. I looked at my watch to see what time it is,  it was 9:00. "Come in!" He stated. I opened the cold doorknob and goes inside his office. "Sit down!" He ordered me. He was then looking directly into my eyes, so I looked down,  so our eyes would not meet. I suddenly felt my heart pounding so was because of nervousness. I felt it was getting out of my chest. My palm was then becoming sweaty, because of the nervousness I was feeling. I walked towards the chair next to his table. I looked at myself,  his table was a mess,  there was so much pile of workloads on it. Maybe it was just one of the past important reports. "You are earlier than I expected, " he started the conversation. Because the atmosphere in the four corners of the room was becoming tense because of the quietness. "Yes! Sir, " I answered. "Be more comfortable, " he said. I then took a deep breath and sighed. I no need to be nervous around. Right? I dont know! I just suddenly feel nervous around my boss. Maybe because he was a big person,  and I don't wanna mess up things when I was with him. "The reports?" He asked. I then placed the files on his desk. "By the way, I wanted you to organize the next batch of illegal drugs on Saturday night. You would be in the charge of transporting it from the cargo into here. I was trusting you on this one,  so dont mess up. Understood?" My boss stated. I was blankly processing in my mind what he just said. He did just say he was trusting on one of his illegal drug transactions? "Me?" I asked to make sure. "Yes! I was trusting and letting you handle this transaction, " he shortly replied.
