"We have to be early for our first day at work today." Sofia said.
"Our first day at work?" Sarah asked in confusion.
"Yes work silly." Sofia said.
"Explain in detail" Sarah said still looking confused.
"Well, a man offered me a job as a housemaid and gave me his card so I can contact him... I called him this morning to ask if you can work there too and he agreed." Sofia said in excitement.
"Wow, I have a real job now?" Sarah asked.
"Of course you do" Sofia replied.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Sarah asked rhetorically.
"I've prepared breakfast already, let's eat and go." Sofia said as she stood up from Sarah's bed.
They both took their bath, ate their breakfast and started leaving for work.
Red at the park...
"Come on man, you've got to come with me." Red said desperately.
Red had to go to Mr Biggio's place but he wanted Sting to join him.
Sting was a very well known serial killer among the big men of that region and beyond. Whenever they needed someone dead they would contact Big boss and ask him for Sting's services.
Red figured that Sting's presence would be helpful to him.
"I'm not interested. You said Big boss gave you the job right? Then handle it." Sting replied.
"Come on. Just help me out. You don't even have to say anything just come with me" Red pleaded.
"So this is what you called me over for? I have decided I'm not co..." Sting stopped talking.
Sting notices Sofia across the street entering a book store.
She is well dressed and it seems to him this is her first day at work.
"Hello?" Red said snapping him out of it.
"So will you..." Red was about to ask again.
"I will come with you." Sting said.
Red was surprised at his immediate response but didn't dare to ask anything incase Sting changes his mind.
"That's great! Let's go" Red said.
Sting and Red left together.
Mr Benson's bookstore...
"Good morning Mr Benson" Sarah and Sofia chorused.
"Good morning girls how are you doing?" Mr Benson asked.
"We are fine thank you" Sarah and Sofia choruses again.
"What brings you here this fine morning?" Mr Benson asked.
"We are here to ask for your blessings" Sofia said.
"Really? You know I bless you two everyday. But this seems special." Mr Benson said.
"We got jobs as housemaids. We plan on meeting the man today" Sarah replied.
"His name is Mr Biggio" Sofia added.
"Mr Biggio?" Mr Benson asked.
"Yes, any problem?" Sofia asked.
"No, not at all. Just that nobody knows the source of his money. I want you girls to be very careful ok?" Mr Benson said.
"Yes sir" Sarah and Sofia said. "
Ok girls, I give you both my blessings." Mr Benson said happily.
"Thank you" Sarah and Sofia replied in excitement.
Sofia asked if the latest books on Harry Potter had arrived yet and Mr Benson said it would be made available by tomorrow.
Sarah and Sofia left the book store and continued looking for Mr Biggio's house.
"I just hope nothing happens to my girls." Thought Mr Benson.
Three hours later...
Sarah and Sofia on their way...
"I'm so tired" Sarah said.
"Me too" Sofia replied.
"We have been asking for directions but the house seems to be moving away from us" Sarah said looking so tired.
"Let's just take a break under the tree there" Sofia said.
" Oh no no no. We have to go back home. I can't start work today. I'm already too tired. "Sarah said looking at Sofia tiredly.
"I agree. If we go in this condition, he might think we are lazy." Sofia said and sits on the bench.
Sarah also sits on the bench.
"We should have taken a cab. I never knew it would be so far." Sofia said.
"I'll call and tell him we can't make it." Sofia added.
"Ok. Do that" Sarah replied.
At Mr Biggio's mansion...
"So he sent you two here with a business offer?" Mr Biggio asked.
Mr Biggio's phone rings and he stands up to answer it.
He excused himself from the office and he picks the call.
"Hello?" Mr Biggio said.
"Good evening sir, it's the girl you offered a job at the park. I'm sorry I and my sister can't make it today" Sofia said from the other side of the phone.
"No problem. You can both start tomorrow." Mr Biggio replied.
"Thank you sir." Sofia said and cuts the call.
Mr Biggio goes back in to continue with the discussion he was having.
"Who were you talking to?" Sting asked.
"Nothing important. Just a girl and her sister I offered a job. They couldn't make it today." Mr Biggio replied.
"I see. So Sofia couldn't make it?" Sting thought to himself.
"This discussion will have to continue tomorrow." Sting said.
"But why?" Red asked.
"Yes. Why? I'm very much free for discussion today." Mr Biggio said.
"We will have to continue tomorrow. Yes or no.?" Sting said.
"Ok, tomorrow it i s." Mr Biggio replied.
"Let's go" Sting said turning to Red.
"Ok" Red said.
They both walked out of the mansion.
"Why did you postpone it?" Red asked.
"That is non of your business." Sting replied.
"I don't know why you don't open up to people." Red said.
Sting frowned at him.
"People aren't to be trusted." Sting said.
"I wonder if there is a girl in this world that tolerate you enough to marry you." Red said.
" I hate them all. Nothing but gold diggers." Sting said angrily.
Sting and Red walks on till they parted ways. Sting reaches home and sees his parents with their luggages.
"Michael we've been calling you. Why was your phone switched off?" His mother said.
"Low battery" Sting replied.
"I and your mother are going on a trip. We will be back in three months time." His dad said.
