¤I have to make him proud. He has given me more than enough in this life. Since Mom left us I didnt know how to survive but Dad taught me how. I know it's pretty hard for him too. Now is the time for payback. I won't let you down Dad. ¤ -George
Mr. Smith: I will leave you to Ms. Mich, my secretary. She'll tour you around the company and you will start your training.. Today.
George: Sounds cool.
Mich: Not so cool. Follow me.
Mr. Smith: Alright! Later Buddy.
George: *clears throat. Uhm, how is the company going?
Mich: As much as I know, I heard someone's bidding to buy your father's share.
George: What? How? Why?
Mich: You still don't know about this? Rumors everywhere. Learn how to listen.
George: It's not my business for some gossips.
Mich: It is, now.. Here, is your soon to be new office. We are currently looking for a new secretary and we have resumes lined up for your review. You maybe starting but don't expect work to be small.
George: I get it.. Thanks. Thanks for the tour. Can I have moment alone here?
Mich: Sure.
¤ Phew... She's stricter than my father.¤
George: Look at this view. 37th floor and half of the room is my office. It feels... Good. Great. Unexpected. I think I'm about to cry. Lol. Hold it George. This is a once in a blue moon opportunity. I know I should not brag just cause my Father owns this company. I have earned my struggle. And what I reap is what I should sow.

Mr. Smith: Hey son..
George:Oh Hey Dad.
Mr. Smith: You like it?
George: Thanks Dad.
Mr. Smith: I forgot to tell you that Im leaving tomorrow for a private meeting with my partners in Japan and I'll be there for a week.
George: Oh, I see..
Mr. Smith: I'll leave the company to you for a week okay? Decisions are yours but not absolute.
George: You mean?
Mr. Smith: Good luck. And remember, I am proud of you.
(Mr. Smith leaves the office)
George: Take care Dad...
(Mich arrives)
Mich: I told you there were resumes lined up. You might consider browsing and choosing and hiring. Also, there are construction plans and blueprints on your desk for your review. According to Mr. Smith, you know what to do.
(Mich leaves)
George: Oh God.

George: Im good. Thanks! Youve never failed to complete my day! After all paperworks. I think im going crazy. Ohhh I wonder, how many years they've studied to create such masterpiece! (tears in the corner of his eyes and eats the burger slowly)
¤ I know this aint easy and there are more to come. But I thank God that Im not homeless. I shouldnt let my good and kind heart be abused by the employees. I should be strong for my Father. Tomorrow is another day. ¤
