A blast from the past

A week later...

"Where the hell is he?!" Josh Giddy, Pages COO, yelled at Goof—his uncle's personal bodyguard while pacing around the office, beads of sweat on his forehead, worrying for the companies fate.

His uncle, Arnold West has yet to arrive for their 10 o'clock meeting this morning. He is usually early and if anything convenient happened, he would tell Josh straight away. Josh began questioning himself : will they succeed in getting this deal?. His uncle wilk surely punish him for failing in concurring this deal.

Pages had been the most trusted publishing company since the 90's—the year where Mr. West's grandfather, which is Josh's ancestor started this company from scratch. It would be a total disgrace if they looses a deal.

They needed this deal for that Swan land, the hot topic of the town. There are rumors saying that whoever is the owner of the land will receive many riches for seven generation. Josh didn't believe any of those crap but his uncle insist it. His uncle want to build a writing camp there. A peaceful place for writers to relax and write incredible stories. And now they want to make a deal with the owner of the land—Karps Corporate.

"I do not know" Goof fished out his phone, confused as well. Usually his boss would be telling him to stand by upon his arrival but now it just doesn't feel right.

"Have you tried calling him?" Josh gritted his teeth in annoyance, his temper rising upon every second. Where the hell is he?!

"I'm trying—" Goof bit back at Josh. He knows how to do his job perfectly fine. He doesn't need a kid to teach him.

"Then go!" Josh shooed him off before glancing at the two ladies standing near the doorway. Both are interns, Rey and Rachelle—recently started working last week and are responsibled to take Mr. West home last night after the failed homecoming party for him. The man was drunk out of his mind and Josh couldn't send him home himself so he ordered these two ladies to do the job.

"Oi! You two"  He pointed at them making them startled for a moment due to his shouting. Rey and Rachelle looked at each other warily before Rey answered him :

"Y-yes sir?"

"What did you do to him last night?" Josh stared at her, warning clear in his eyes.

"Well..." Rey began :

Last night : 11Pm

It took Arnold an hour and 30 minutes of making a fool out of himself on his  homecoming party to finally passed out. The man drinks a whole lot. Hopefully, he wouldn't remember it in the morning.

Rey and Rachelle dragged his 70 pounds of meaty body to his millions worth of mansion. The mansion could fit a whole zoo! Too bad that he had never remarried after the death of his late wife—he also lives alone with no children. It must have been lonely living in there Rey thought to herself.

"My god! He is more heavy than a sacks of potatoes" Rachelle panted, exhaustion lacing in her voice making Rey chuckled.

"Remind me why we need to do this again" Rachelle complains, her back hurting from leaning so much when carrying Mr. West. The man's weight is like a thousand bricks.
