The Assistant

"You've been gone for three years and now you аre asking me to give you half a million dollars. Do you have any dignity Kylie? "
Anger was evident on his face, at least I should know how it looks, I worked for him for over a year. His eyes burned with fury,his jaw was tightened, and his breathing was rigid, you would think that fire came out through his nostrils.
I tremble every time he raised his voice, a cold sweat soaked my body. This was my last chance to secure the money I desperately needed, but I did not have. I gathered courage, I swallowed the tears that we're building in my eyes and turned to him.
"I 'm not asking you to give to me as a present, Jordan, this will be a loan. I will give back to you every cent that I will owe."
"You will return the money? Do not make me laugh Kylie? You have no chance in earning that much money, and even if you sell all your belongings, you can not repay that money.
Tell me now, what is the reason for your desperation, why do you need so much many? And if the reason is good, maybe I'll give them to you."
I could not tell him the reason, I didn't want him to know it, after everything he didn't deserved to know or to be a part of our life.
"The reason is just not important to you, Jordan, it is something personal, even intimate, and we are far from what we were and could ever be."
