Sleeping With Money (MewGulf AU)

🌻Chapter 17

🌻

I can't believe what happened yesterday.

Gulf sent First off to the president with the money, then decided to take a nap.

He's hurt. He didn't really want to stand. To be used like that, by someone not even in a gang! He was really starting to question his career choice. No doubt about it, Gulf was having a serious identity crisis this morning.

I need to toughen up.

He though about his life as he lay limp in the sofa. Mew had found ways to tease him becasue he was weak. He really had to work on his criminal image.

But people with money will always get their way.

Finding no answer to his woes, he fell asleep. First came back into the office later and shook him awake. It was already dusk. The sky looked orange outside the window. Gulf took the phone from First's hand.

"Good work, Gulf," the president said.

He had collected the ten million. The president was happy. Gulf heard something like a banquet going on in the background, most likely one of the Kantou Asahigumi's regular meetings. The Kantou Asahigumi operated above his gang, part of a long chain that passed demands down to each other.

"You know that factory you got the money from?" the president continued. "When I told Asahi you got ten million, they asked if you could get the money owed to them, too. Can you do something about it tonight?"

Not that place again.

Gulf gripped the phone. He had to think of something, but what?

"I, uh, don't think so," he bluffed. "He has no more mon---"

"Don't tell me it can't be done," the president interrupted coldly. "We can do things that can't be done, remember? That's why people come to us. Don't embarrass me, Gulf."

What the hell will I do?

Out of the frying pan and into the fire. This time---he had no choice. He'd just have to go get the money from Rachan.
