“Looks like someone is in high spirits today!” Delinda teased when saw Marissa humming le checking the
files.
Instead of negating her, Marissa pinched her nose, “Because…maybe… I am…” she winked and started humming again.
It was a Monday morning and the first working day never felt so good. She couldn’t wait to see Rafael.
Marissa rotated her body towards her laptop and started observing the screen, “Where is Kate? Her file
is not here but the rooster here shows that she is
present.”
“I saw her going to Mr. Sinclair’s office,” a worker told Marissa and got back to his job.
“Mr. Sinclair called her to the office?” Marissa mumbled, “But why?”

“Sir, I assure you. I’m not bullying anyone now. I have stopped passing snide remarks on my colleagues,”

Poor Kate thought this meeting was called due to some complaints against her.
Rafael hadn’t even started speaking yet, but Kate was
continuously giving dumb excuses.

“Mr. Amir,” at last Rafael spoke, “Do you only sell faulty furniture or are you running some other business too?”
Amir’s face might not be showing it, but Rafael’s question had taken him by surprise. He was already curious why he was called here this early. His mornings usually started much later after nine.
“Sir. To meet both ends, I usually sell whatever I can get my hands on. It can be furniture or some event decoration stuff. Last week, I sold a few safety nets to a man who ran his wheat business. Usually, birds used to attack his open warehouse eating all the wheat. I had to arrange safety nets for him,” he showed his yellow teeth to Rafael, “For most of the businessmen of
Kanderton, I’m like a Genie.”
Rafael kept twisting the paperweight between his

fingers.
“Do you sell property too?”
Amir thought for a moment and then shook his head in confusion, “I don’t own much property. I can’t afford so many taxes…”
Rafael slapped his hand on his desk making

jump in fright, “The property behind the main boulevard… or should I remind you the street number
too.”
Amir gulped his saliva and tilted his head to look at Kate who just shrugged in confusion.
“That was given to this small family… they wanted to start a cooking business along with residential
purposes. Two women, three kids, and an elderly man. Someone had to look out for them,” he tried to laugh it off, but Rafael wasn’t letting it go.
“How much do they owe you?” By now, the couple had somewhat guessed that they were there because of Marissa. Amir regretted sending her legal notice.
“Umm. Mr. Sinclair, I had asked them to pay me within
five years…”

“I’m asking you a simple question,” Rafael snarled, “how much do they owe you?”
“I… I don’t remember, Mr. Sinclair…”
“You are asking the family to move somewhere else if they won’t pay it back and here you are telling me, you don’t remember? How pathetic one could
Amir got quiet after that.
“Where are the documents?” Rafael wasn’t done with
him.
“Documents?”
“Yeah, Amir. The documents. Or do I have to tell you
what a document is?”
Amir straightened in his seat. Rafael’s eyes were examining his every move.
Amir started scratching the nape of his neck not understanding what else to say, “Th…there wasn’t any document involved. We just had to trust each other’s
word.”
Rafael got up and rounded his desk to reach Amir and his fiancée.

“What was the word?” Reaching near them, he leaned
his hip against the edge of the desk, “Tell me, Amir. What was the word?”
“Mr. Sinclair… what do you want?” Amir had this sudden urge to go to the bathroom. Poor him could feel heaviness in his lower belly.
“I want you to write here your deman, Rafael tossed
a checkbook in his direction.
“M… my demand?”
“Yes, your demand, Amir. Fill in this checkbook and bring me the documents of that place…”
“Sir… I have almost forgotten… the amount decided …” For some reason, Rafael could see panic on his face.
“Write the amount according to the market then…”
“According to the….?”
“Yes, Amir! According to the market…” Rafael was getting impatient now, “Jot down the amount and then bring me the file as soon as possible… or wait…” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
For the first time, Amir saw a smile making its way on Rafael’s lips.
“Put in your demand and then deliver the file to its owner this evening. Will it be done?”
“… yes… yes, sir,” he tried to think of an amount and then remembered how much he wanted to become a
millionaire after selling off this small house
After getting this kind of money, he could buy more property and give it on rent to more widowed or
divorced women.
He happily wrote the amount and gave the checkbook to Rafael who took it from his hand and observed the
figure closely, Amir had put in there,
“Sir, I need to go to the bathroom,” Amir tried to bring
a smile to his face,
“Dean. Take him to the bathroom and make sure nobody sees him,” Rafael gave a meaningful glance to Dean who had been standing at the back without making his presence known.
“Sure, Mr. Sinclair‘
Kate also got up along with Amir when Rafael gestured for her to sit back,
‘Keep seated, Ms. Kate. There is more to discuss…”

With fear evident on her face, Kate sat down seeing Amir leaving the room.
“Whatever happened here… in this room,” Rafael pinned her with his sharp gaze.
“Nobody will know about it, Sir,” she said hurriedly.
“Hmm. Good. You are a very intelligent girl. Because you know, what can be done to you and your boy if you don’t follow the…”
“We know… Mr. Rafael… I know…”
“Hmm. Leave! Make sure to get the file delivered to its owner by this evening otherwise, you are not only out of my office but also that small café space that is reserved for you can slip into some other hands.”
Kate’s eyes snapped up to his handsome face.
“Café space?”
“Yeah. Make sure this file reaches its owner and that café space is yours.”
Kate felt excitement surging in her body. Among her teammates, she would be the one getting café space. It was the best chance to show Delinda, Shang Chi, and that moron Marissa Aaron, who is the best.

She might not have become in charge of the event team but getting a café space meant everyone would be leaving the MSin building after the event except for
Kate.
She would be permanent here.
Oh! How satisfying.
