Traizle "Do not worry about the payment, it is still the same as I offered yesterday. It is too hot today. You might be dying from the heat inside," the owner said, as he was concerned. "Do you happen to know Mr. Matthew?" He asked me. I looked at him and he was already smiling at me. Why am I seeing him lately? "I do not really know him that much." I answered, causing him to grimace. "Is that so?" The owner replied, reading the awkward atmosphere. "Anyway, your job is done. Come to my office so that I can pay you." he added. The owner and Zarsuelo talked for a while before we went to his office. After paying us, we went out to remove the costume. "Traizle, do you really don't know the man a while ago?" Jake asked me while I was inside the comfort room. "We have met a few times, but I do not really know him aside from that he is the owner of a big company." I answered as I changed my shirt. I heard him snort. "You do not really watch the news or what." Jake said as he lau
Traizle "Traizle!" Layzen exclaimed when he saw me. He is playing by himself outside of our house. He excitedly embraced me the moment he got in front of me. "Where is your brother?" I asked and hugged him tightly. "His friends fetched him. They wanted to play at the computer shop near here. I told him that he could go without me. It is boring to watch them play." he explained. I let go of him and ruffled his hair. "You are really a big boy now. Just make sure to play near our house. If someone you do not know approaches you, do not go with him." I warned him. He nodded. "I will. I am a big boy already." Layzen said confidently. "By the way, did you eat your lunch already?" I asked. "We did, how about you?" Layzen asked back. "I only ate dessert for lunch. I am still kind of hungry." I answered. "You should eat. Dessert for lunch is not enough to fill your stomach. Why would you eat dessert for lunch?" he asked, almost scolding me. I was not able to answer his que
Traizle After hearing his long explanation, I couldn’t help but snort. "I had no idea you could talk seriously." I replied. Somehow, his words got me. "Of course! I want you to feel my sincerity." he responded. "But I have many jobs already." I reasoned out. "Let's just say that you have four jobs. You can now stop working on your other one-time work or here," he replied. "You can rest, and I will give you a high salary. I also have those things that can help you in the future. You can also tell your own needs and requirements." he added. It doesn’t sounds real at all. "Don't you think I might use you or get advantage of your offer? Are you not thinking?" I asked. He shook his head. "I do not care. If it's about money, I can give you lots. About using me, I don't think you will do that. You can help me to increase my company and I can help you with yours. Is not it a win-win collaboration?" He answered. My food is starting to get cold. But still, I still cannot think st
Traizle "Just because I said so?" he asked back nonchalantly. I have to extend my patience when it comes to him. I did not bother to talk to him. I am tired and sleepy already. It is a good thing that Zarsuelo did not ask me anymore. I can see Layzen outside of our house, sitting in front of the gate. "Traizle!" Layzen exclaimed when he saw me. "Some foods were delivered here a while ago." he added. Zarsuelo raised his hand and said, "That is my order." Layzen looked at him suspiciously. "I do not know you," he answered. "Why are you with a stranger?" He then asked me. "Your sister knows me, I even brought your favorite food." Zarsuelo answered my brother. "I forgot to tell you about him, but he is not a stranger, okay?" I said as I was trying to explain his existence to Layzen. He waved at him. "I am Matthew Zarsuelo, let's be friends. I do not bite. I have many toys in my house." Zarsuelo told Layzen. Layzen's eyes widen at the word "toys". Well, I was not able to b
Traizle "When will you pay for the house rent? You are still not paying for the water and electricity bill for this month." said Amelia, the property owner of our house. "I am sorry about that, but I can promise that I will pay next week." I answered, almost pleading to let me pay next week. "But you should pay everything, are we clear?" The property owner asked. She nodded. "Yes, thank you." I said as I bowed, to express my gratitude. We were too short in money this month. My last wage paid for our last rent. I even paid half of our electric and water bills for last month. I must keep money with me for Lyndon and Layzen's allowance. I started to ride on my old motorcycle. I went home to get the motorcycle, but the proprietor saw me and asked for the payment immediately. After a few minutes of traveling, I reached the snack bar. "Traizle, you have a delivery. Kelvin went out for a delivery too, minutes ago." the owner of the snack bar said. "Right away!" I responded as so
Traizle "It was because you are an oddball," I answered back. "Who knows, you might just want to trick me and when the time comes, I will accept your offer and give up on my other sidelines. You will tell me you did not offer something like that." I added truthfully. He laughed at me. "You are thinking in advance, aren't you?" Said Zarsuelo. "If you want me to prove that I will not trick you afterward, I can bring the contract and let you have witnesses like an attorney or lawyer." he added. He is serious about me working for him. Do I really deserve that offer? "No need," I replied. "I will work for you if you promise to pay me in advance." I continued. His eyes widened. "Give your salaries in advance? No problem! How much do you want?" He answered excitedly. "Let me think about it." I answered. "Why did you change your mind now?" Zarsuelo asked, still excited about the news that I would be working with him soon. I looked down and sighed. "I am in need of money." I answe
Traizle I stopped walking in front of the building. "You can do it, Traizle." I told myself, shrugging off the nervousness I was feeling. I started to walk to the building. Entering the entrance kills me already. "Good morning, Ma'am." A man greeted me. "Ah, good morning?" I answered, not sure what to say after. Looking at him from head to toe, he is wearing casual clothes. He is also standing beside the entrance. Did the guard ask him to stand by for him for a while? "Excuse me," I told him. "Can you tell me where Zarsuelo's office is?" I asked. "I will guide you to his office. Please follow me." The man answered and led the way. I am in Zarsuelo's company today. Since I told him, I would work for him. After a week of resting, I decided to start working. He already gave me my first monthly salary, and with that salary, I was able to fully pay our house rent, as well as our electric and water bills. About the man I bumped my motorcycle into, I was called to the police sta
Traizle As soon as they couldn't see Zarsuelo, my seatmates approached me. "Hi, I am Claire! I am the one who talked to you when we ate at the snack bar," she introduced herself. "Our boss really went with you." she added, laughing. "Why?" I asked. “When he sets his eyes on someone, he will ask them to work for him. He can also double your last salary just to work for him." Claire answered. "We guessed he gave you trouble, didn't he?" said the girl next to Claire. "I am Sonia, by the way." she added. I sighed. I guess I didn’t experience this with him alone. "He really is," I replied. "Did he also do this to you?" I asked back. They nodded. "Some of us went the same way as you did." they answered. "Oho, stop talking for now," Zarsuelo interrupted. "Here, learn this for now. I will call you if I need anything, okay?" He added, giving me the folders. "Got it," I answered. "Go back to your office now and do some work." I added. "Done with them already." he replied in a s
