Guns and Romance

Chapter 10

Cole POV

I couldn't believe my ears. I was getting fired from work, I had not even worked for you to three (3) months and I was getting fired. I knew that pleading with Charlotte would be useless as her mind was already made up and begging was just going to make her feel good with herself. So I picked my bags and was about leaving when she called me back. I looked behind me to see her expecting an insult or her telling me she won and that I should never come into her life again.

But then she asked me if I still wanted my job. I thought to myself "Is that even supposed to be a question". I looked sternly at her and said "Of course, what do you think". I refused to be civil with her anymore after all she's not my boss anymore and I am sure as hell not desperate for this job.

"That is not the way to reply to your boss" she replied. She made an offer to me to become a cleaner and I was so angry. I rejected it and stormed out of the office. I could never allow anybody to treat me like trash no matter who you were. That was one of the numerous reasons I resigned from the military.

Just outside the company building I noticed Sam hiding at one corner of the street looking around suspiciously and talking in a very low tone to someone in the phone. This sight made me wonder if Sam was safe as he had been acting weird lately, first was yesterday, the issue with the tall, huge guy and now today he's talking on the phone suspiciously. "Who was he talking to? What kind of people does he have as friends? Did he involve himself in any case? Is his life in danger?". These were the thoughts that ran through my mind and I decided I must find out what Sam was doing or what Sam was running from so I started sneaking to where he was but before I got close he had hung up and he hailed a taxi to stop and got into it.

As the taxi drove off I stood there contemplating whether to follow him or not but I decided that I would not follow him,I had no idea where he was going and I had my laptop in my bag so I hailed another taxi driver to stop and he drove me home. On getting home I logged into my mail and saw an Email from Starlight News Agency the message stated that I would not be paid my salary for the period I worked in the company. I smiled to myself, money was not really my problem,I had money stacked up over the years. It was my life's savings and I planned to use it to start up a business, haven decided what I would do with the money, I called Sonia and asked her if we could hang out tonight
