After college and as planned, I headed to ChemiPharma, I asked the taxi driver to drive me through a lot of places making sure that no car is trailing me. I bet that Gerald was sincere when he said that he would not keep an eye on me which is good.
I was standing in front of the company that overwhelmed the whole street, it was too large that it covered the buildings across from it from Sun rays. I was wearing a light brown wig, a black dress, and sunglasses. I can't say that it is quite a disguise but at least if I manage to avoid CCTVs then no one would tell it is me.
I wanted to get some information; I headed to the staff room where cleaners gathered.
" I bet it was a tough day, guys," I initiated which attracted their attention, it was their meal break and I bet they will need the coffee I brought them.
I started giving them their coffee.
" Who are you?" a male cleaner wondered.
" My mom work here, she cleans the last floor," I said as I knew that the last floor is where the CEO is.
" What is her name?"
" She is new, Helen, does it ring any bell?" I asked them a leading question.
" I guess, I heard that name. You are quite nice, I am sure she is proud of you."
" I wish I get employed here, I want to work in such a big company at least once in my life." I lied.
" We wish you, luck sweetie..." one of the female workers stated.
" Thank you, I hope that Mr. Gerald is not as bad as rumors say,"
" Mr. Gerald? He is not the..." the young-looking girl was cut off when one of the elders glared her way as if he was instructing her to shut the fuck up.
" I know he isn't the CEO, I am his son's friend at college so I know,"
" Oh, you are Mr. Shawn's friend?" The elder asked.
" Yeah, we have several classes together as well, we spend some time with each other during break time."
" How does your mother work here as a cleaner when you are able to afford such an expensive college though?"
" My dad married mom out of love, she doesn't have a certificate and she refused to leave the job she had after marriage. She is quite self-dependent and prideful, ya see..."
" I want to depend on myself as well, I will try to get employed here without dad's help," I added.
"You are a hard worker like your mother, what a nice thing to do? Very nice, sweetie." one of them said as she patted on my back.
" The CEO is Mr. Siergo Montonio, he was Mr. Indigo's right hand. He is quite strict and he appreciates those who are bilingual since lately, they started dealing with several other countries so they need people eloquent in Germany, Chinese and French. I hope that helps you somehow." the elder started.
" That is cool, thank you very much." I smiled and took my leave.
