chapter 9

Michael was scheduled to see Nathan in two weeks time.
In all his excitement, he remembered how rude he had been to Nathan the last time. And he began to wonder and doubt if Nathan will help him. Now his excitement was turned into anxiety.
As he thought, his phone rang.
He picked it up.
" Michael Jones "
" yes this is he. Can I help you?"
" Mr Barack wants to see you now in his office "
" why?. What did I do?"
" Don't ask just come"
" I'll be right there. Thank you."

********"**********
Michael had no idea why he was called in such a hurry. He tried to shake off the feeling that something bad may happen to him but it was difficult to do so. He got dressed, then took his bike and rode off to the bank.
When he arrived, he came down his bike, he entered the bank walking cautiously paying no attention to what was happening around him. He could not shake the feeling of danger. He took the elevator to the fourth floor where the office was.
As he moved on the broad corridor, he was about to negotiate a bend when he bumped into a young lady carrying a pile of papers. In no time, the papers were all over the place. He bent down while apologizing to the Lady to help her pick up the scattered papers.
" I am so sorry. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. "
" it's OK I can do it. The manager is waiting."
" how did you know "
" I figured and I am his PA. You should go now I'll pick this up."
" thank you"
He took off to the office. Entered and were the secretary was to be seated she was not there. So Michael just went on his own. He knocked then the manly voice said to him to come in. He pushed open the door.
" Sir you sent for me "
" you must be Michael Jones. "
" yes sir"
" take a seat. "
He sat down, folded his hands together so tight he could feel his bones cracking.
" Mr Jones, I called you here today to let you know that someone with better qualifications applied today. So I wanted to let you know that I have considered this young man and I see he is better than you. So you are officially fired from this Job."
" sir I ha...."
" I wasn't asking your opinion so you are fired. good bye. "
Michael stood up with tears in his eyes and began to walk out.
" it's nothing personal it's just business Mr Jones. Just business."
Noah said to him with no feelings at all.
The man was broken. He had a sick mother, no music career he had nothing how was it going to work out. He walked out of the office and on that corridor again he was about to take a bend,he met with the lady from earlier. She wore a bright smile.
" hey we meet again. "
Michael didn't respond. He walked away. The world had ended for Michael. So he thought.
The young lady was surprised at his reaction.

"Knock ,knock"
Genevieve said
" come in. "
Noah replied.
" the other pile is on that shelve. Take it to Velma. Make sure you tell her to cross check and send me the details. "
" yes sir."
She turned to go then turned back slightly.
" sir may I "
" yes you may"
" I don't think you did the right thing firing the young man"
" what are you? My personal assistant or my personnel adviser?"
" I am sorry"
" you better be. Who told you that any away?"
" I just figured "
She walks out and closes the door.
Noah sat on his chair, turning it left and right. Taking consideration on what his Pa had said. But being the heartless man people knew him to be, he shook off the guilt that was building up inside with " it's only business "
While he thought, a flash of his father's old and stern face played in his mind. He could actually hear his father say to him " I am ashamed of you. You disgust me."
He was distracted from his imaginary scolding by a knock on the door. He came back to his official self, cleared his throat then began to talk.
"Come in."
" Sir you have a gift from your Dad through the guy in red."
" drop it there and leave"
"Yes sir"

Noah's Dad was the most unusual and abnormal man you ever saw. Sometimes, people thought he lost it. He had body guards he differentiated with colours: white ,black, red, blue and green. In three years since he had been out of the country, he never called his son once probably because he didn't want to loose value before his son. Which is the most unrealistic ideology ever. During important notifications, he sent the men in colours.
If he sent you a man in green,it's a money issue. If he sent you a man in blue, it's a luxury issue. A man in red, meant important business that could not be defiled even if you had an operation in the hospital. Finally,a man in black,it's a dirty issue.
Noah sat on his chair, turning left and right. Trying to guess what was inside as it could even be a snake. Noah,always said his father was partially insane.
He stood up and walked towards the package. He picked the package and took to his desk. He could not tell whether he was scared, anxious or sad all he knew was it was serious business. He began to unwrap it paper after paper. He had already removed twenty paper wraps but he wasn't getting to the gift. Finally he got there after thirty paper wraps which beneath he saw a small suitcase,about six inches length width and height. He opened the box and saw another wrapping. He sighed in frustration but continued unwrapping. Finally he got to a piece of folded paper which he opened and saw a note.

" I'll be back in three weeks. As my son I expect you to do a welcome party. Make me proud of you for once."

After reading this note, he giggled and muttered to him self
"This man has got to be insane"
He continued to giggle " a party" he chuckled.
