CHAPTER 32

LAWRENCE'S POINT OF VIEW It was almost lunchtime and I was working on the report that Mr. Walson had given me. Kristine,  my wife,  was not in here that is why I am finishing this fast. Because I don't want her to know what my job is. I didn't want her to know and read what I am doing now. Until now,  I can't believe that Mr. Walson still chooses me for the next transaction. I recalled the day that he had announced that... FLASHBACK "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. END OF FLASHBACK Until now,  I can't believe it! Because it just means that he trusted me now,  that he had trust in me. Mr. Walson is not the type of guy that would easily trust his men,  especially me. Maybe he just sees my effort and sees that I am fit for the position. Even though I know that my wife Kristine would not agree to this,  I still can't help it,  because my salary in this is much higher than being an executive assistant in Miss Amelia's company. I just wanted to earn more so that I could give Kristine a comfortable life that she well deserved. In the first place,  all I wanted is to give Kristine the life she deserve. That is why I didn't want her to work I just wanted her to stay at home and do whatever she wanted. I am also glad that Kristine was not in here. I have time to finish the report that I didn't finish last night because I was so sleepy. Kristine goes to Miss Amelia's mansion to do something. I don't know,  what is it,  but I just let her,  so I could finish this report. I didn't understand my self if why I chose to sell illegal drugs,  even though I can give Kristine a comfortable life even without this. Maybe because I wanted more,  I just want to give her more than I have. If I know I can give her more then I would do it. Maybe that is just the reason. Kristine was my whole world,  she was only the person I had that I didn't want to lose. She is the only one that I could ever have so I would do everything just to make her stay with me. If I needed to sell my body and soul I would do it without thinking twice. Since my parents kicked me out of the house. Kristine became my only world. She became my comfort zone and she was the only person that had been there for me all this time. She makes me laugh and happy. And I am thankful that she married me. Because I am so lucky to have someone like her. My thoughts cut off when my phone rang. I put down my laptop and looked at who was calling me. It was Mr. Walson. I get my USB and laptop and then transfer all the files on the USB and delete it on my laptop. I put my USB in my pocket. I made sure to delete it so Kristine would not read it,  and she would not know what I am doing. Because if she would found out,  I am sure that she would gonna be angry. My phone rang three times before I answered it. Because I needed to transfer all the files first. I won't take the risk that Kristine would find out everything. "Hello! Boss. I am sorry if I can't answer it immediately. I just didn't notice you were calling because my phone went silent, " I stated as I answered the phone call. Because I know once I let Mr. Walson speak first,  it means he would shout and be angry with me. I dont wanna lost his trust. Not now! He was only starting to trust me. And I can't be lost his trust immediately because I just didn't answer the phone immediately. "It doesn't matter! Since I know you were busy because I needed all the reports that I was asked on you. I need it perfectly and neat. I won't bother you any longer. I would just be asked if you had transferred the money that I had said to you from the Rivera Corporation Company?" He asked. I almost forgot about it too,  inform Mr. Walson about it! Mr. Walson was asking me to get some money for the company of Miss Amelia. Since I was in charge of accounting, I was holding all the money. I had transferred a lot of money to Mr. Walson's bank account from Miss Amelia's company funds. Even it was called robbing or being theft. I had no choice,  but to do it since that is what Mr. Walson wants. I was always transferring 4 billion to his bank account every two months. There was a gap so no one in the company would suspect and think that there is some money that went missing. Since Miss Amelia trusted me with the accounting of the money,  she never suspected me. Mr. Walson uses me to rob  Miss  Amelia at first I hesitated but I needed to do it. Because I was afraid that Mr. Walson would do something bad to my wife and I am afraid that would happen and I would not notice that. I could not lose Kristine,  so I am willing to do anything for her. If that is meant to break the trust of the person who trusted me the most,  Miss Amelia. That was a lot of money,  but I can't say no to him. Since he was my boss too. And I was getting his trust so he would give me big transactions,  and I would also get a lot of money because of it. "Yes! Sir. I transferred already 4 billion to your bank account,  Mr. Walson. I was getting money and robbing Miss Amelia's company to transfer to your account, " I answered. I took a deep breath and sighed. I should be more sounded professional. Even deep inside me was killing me with guilt because of what I was doing to Miss Amelia. Because of me, she was losing a lot of money. I know she was rich but if I always do it,  she would be poor and broke. And a lot of employees would have no work. But I have to do this to earn Mr. Walson's trust and to have easy money. "Very Good! How about the illegal drugs that I told you to deliver. Did you deliver it all?" He asked me. I delivered many illegal drugs last night which is why I am sleepy and I didn't finish the report that I would give to Mr. Walson. My body was tired and weak last night because of the trip. Starting from morning to night I have delivered it all since it was too many and I am the only one delivering it. But I get 100, 000 money as my salary to deliver it last night. So my tiredness is nothing compared to the money that I get. "Yes,! Sir. I delivered all the drugs you gave me and deliver them to all of the right places, " I answered. It just really meant that Mr. Walson was trusting me now very much that is why he was letting me know this information. I can't be lost the trust that I just build. It was the only way to get a lot of money for my wife. "Okay. Thank you! I'll call you when I needed you to do something important," he said and hung up. Finally! I finished talking to him. "You are what?" A familiar voice spoke up. My heart was starting to beat faster... I slowly looked around to see who was it. "K-Kristine, " I utterly called her name. "You are robbing Miss Amelia's company and you are selling illegal drugs? How could you do that?"
