As they sat there, wrapped in each other’s arms, Laura leaned over and whispered in Carl’s ear. “But I will give you a hint, my love. It’s something that will change our lives forever.” And with that, she kissed him, leaving Carl wondering what she had in store for him.

Carl’s mind raced with possibilities, but he couldn’t think of anything that would change his life forever. He was excited and a little nervous, but he trusted Laura and knew that whatever it was, it would be something special.

As they sat there, enjoying each other’s company, Laura suddenly got up and walked over to the bookshelf. She pulled out an envelope from behind a book and walked back to the couch. “Here, Carl,” she said, handing him the envelope. “Open it.”

Carl took the envelope, his heart racing with anticipation. He opened it, and inside, he found a letter in another envelope and a note that read: “To your new life , my love. Meet me at the office tomorrow morning to affirm your appointment .”

Laura smiled mischievously. “You’ll find out tomorrow, my love. But trust me, it’s something that will change your life forever and even mine.” And with that, she leaned over and kissed him again, leaving Carl eager and curious for what was to come.

” How did I go about what ?” Laura answered Carl’s question with a question.

” The job thing of course, I don’t have any certificate” Carl said.

” why won’t I love the idea of working around you but I am worried about board of directors, won’t they be against you because of me ?” Carl’s curiosity was written all over his face .

” You don’t have to worry about that and moreover they don’t have to be aware about it . ” Laura replied.” We can always find a way around it ” .

” What way ?” Carl asked .

” Just don’t worry about that and leave it to me ” Laura calmed him down.

Carl nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. He trusted Laura and knew she would handle everything.

” Thanks babe, I will never forget all you have done for me ” Carl thanked Laura .

Carl left for his house immediately, he can’t wait to share the good news with James, his friend and helper and also his well wisher . James has been a wonderful friend turned brother to him . If not for him , his life would have been a terrible one . As soon as Carl got home , James was already asleep since it was late already but he needed to wake him up , he needed a whole lot of things from him and to share the good news with him.

” Really!! ” James said out loud. Carl could see the excitement on his face.

” Yep . so all I need from you right now is a dress to put on to the company tomorrow morning ” Carl said.

” Tomorrow morning ??” James asked unbelievably.

After going through so much stress of looking for what will fit James perfectly, they finally settled for a white shirt and navy blue pants which fit Carl like he was the rightful owner.
