More Than Lust novel Chapter 4

Grace's pov

I still remember how Mr. Gomez offered me this work and till now I am thinking if I have made the right decision or not by listening to him.

Rafael gave me that card and said.

"Get this job at any cost... Otherwise You can't pay this loan... Don't make me come back here Grace. It's my job, i have to kill both of you. If I won't kill you then he will kill me."

He sounded worried for me.

"Thanks for giving me this chance Rafael... I will definitely pay back for it..."

I was genuinely grateful to him. He was respectful towards me and decided to help me. To be honest when I saw him I didn't expect this from him. His personality is too badass to presume it.

"You don't deserve this... All the best"

He smiled at me and left our house with his men.

I took the card and went to the address. It was his office. After waiting for almost 2 hours I finally got the chance to meet Mr. Gomez. With hesitation i entered his office.

Gomez is in his late 50s with grey hair and average height. He was giving me feeling of my highschool principal.

When I entered he fixed his glasses and looked at me.

"Yes?"

I gulped.

"Sir, I am Grace... Rafael___"

"Yes, yes... Come take a seat Grace"

He said.

"Yes, Rafael told me about your case. First time he seemed concerned. He was literally requesting me to help you... You are lucky."

He took my documents and started reading it.

"You have good marks Grace but i don't think I have suitable job for you right now."

"Sir please... It's really very important for me. It's a question of life and death"

I requested.

"You think I don't know that..."

He stated.

"You should have been dead by now... You are a fresher Grace. I have just seen your marks not performance..."

"I am very good at accounting, i assure you that. I have worked as an intern too but right now I don't have reference letter."

I replied desperately.

He threw some files at me and said.

"Tell me what's wrong in these files and I'll think about hiring you... You have two minutes."

I quickly picked up those files and started checking. It was someone's personal account statements. It was too easy to detect it, any person who has great knowledge of numbers and accounts can easily tell what's the problem.

"Sir there is some mistake in tax payment... If we compare it to our income tax law it's too much. This person has paid double income tax but it's impossible to pay twice. Whoever is handling this account is stealing money."

I answered honestly.

He hummed as his eyebrows raised with impression.

"Good..."

He said.

"But even if I hire you, do you really think you can pay this loan... I can give you $10k dollars per month, let's say $20k but still you can't cover the loan in four months."

"Four months?"

I asked confused.

"Yes, I can only borrow that much time for you... My Chief has given only four months to you. You have to pay back in four months."

He informed.

Four months was not enough to pay one million loan. My face fell. There was no way I could make it and to mention that interest will keep increasing.

"Don't be sad Grace"
