Chapter 3
When Debby got back to Darkwood with Fred, she immediately applied for jobs in as many top companies as possible. Truth was, her salary in even the top companies won't be enough to foot the debt that her father's company was into but she can 't just seat idle.-
She needs to get a job first and think of other ways to get more money to foot the debt that her father's company was owing
Today, she had received an invite from the biggest company in Darkwood. After dropping her kid off at his new kindergarten, she went to the company and after a thorough interview, she was advised to start work that day as the position she occupies was needed urgently.
About two hours into work, she received a call from her son's kindergarten that her child had a warm temperature and that she was advised to take him home to rest. So she excused herself from the company and went to pick up her son.
Once they both got inside her car," Debby examined his temperature and asked," Fred, how do you feel?" "I feel okay.”
"No, speak to me. Mommy won't be worried. If you tell me how you feel , I'll be able to know what treatment to give to you." Debby said caringly. She loved her son so much and she can ‘t afford to let even the slightest sickness happen to him.
"Mommy, you were at work when my teacher called you, right?" "Yes love," Debby responded "Let's go back to your working place, after you are done with work, you can take me to the hospital,” Fred said
Debby felt glad that her son was thoughtful of her. Indeed, today was her first day at work and it was enough for her to take a few minutes off work but for her to leave work for a long time would be too ridiculous.
She placed her hand gently on her son's dark and curly hair and asked, “are you sure you would be fine until I'm done with work?"
"Yes. I'm not so weak mommy," the little boy said.
Debby smiled and kissed his forehead then she started her car and drove back to her company.
"Erm...can you wait here until I'm done?” Debby's car was in the underground garage of the company and the place was very cool.
"Yes." The little boy answered.
"Make sure you't play around, okay? I'll come to check on you often,” she said and the little boy don't," remember mommy loves sure you so much. "I love you more, mum,” Fred hugged his mum and after a few seconds, he watched Debby leave.
He was having a headache but he had to pretend like he was fine to his mummy, he didn't want her to get worked up unnecessarily because of him at all. He placed his hand on his aching head gently.
He looked around the numerous beautiful cars in the garage and he marvelled. 'There must be so many rich people working here,’ Fred thought to himself.
There was this particular car that looked like it wasn't made in this world. He loved the car so much that he had to step down from his mommy's car to have a better view of the car.
He waddled towards the car and on getting to the car, his small mouth formed an O shape, he touched the car with a bright smile on his lips. The tyres of the car were a little different from other cars so the boy squatted beside one of the tyres and decided to did a practical of what his teacher taught him in school today.
While he was busy doing what only he knows in the tyres, a loud voice jerked him up, "who is that?"
Five tall and busly men ran towards the car and.when they saw a little boy beside the car, they exchanged> a surprising look. But their heart literallyflew away when they saw thatthe tyre of the car had been deflated. on
Did this little boy deflated a tyre? They were surprised, how was it possible?
The guards wanted to shout and rebuke the little boy but he looked so cute and innocent that they all wished they were his father.
One of the guards squatted before him and said, “don't be scared but why did you deflate this tyre? Our boss will kill us for what you do.” The little boy felf bad and blinked his eyes as if he will cry, he immediately spoke, "I am sorry."
"Where are your parents?" The guard squatting before him asked
‘I only have mremmy and she's..." The little boypaused. He had wanted tosay that his mommy was working here but what if their boss is theboss of this company? For deflating this tyre, their boss:could just fire his mum. Content. bélongs to’ oy

"This little boy deflated the tyre of the boss's car," one of the first five guards responded
"What!" One of the five men in suits who just appeared exclaimed in shock and immediately called the boss on phone and narrated what just happened to him
"A little boy dared to deflate the tyre of my car? Bring me the boy,” the boss commanded and hung the call up.
"Hey, cutie, you have to follow us to our boss,” one of the guards said " No, no...he will beat me... Don’t take me to him," Fred began to cry, "boohahhahhhaaa....”
The guards dared not to touch this little boy crying, as hard as their hearts were, they felt very pathetic and hurt that they made this handsome little boy cry.
"What do we do? He wouldn't follow us?" One of the five guards asked the men in suits.
The one who had just called the boss a few minutes ago immediately called the boss again with a palpitating heart, hoping the boss picks his call. Luckily for him, the boss answered. He quickly spoke, "sir, the little boy will not come with us. He’s crying.”
"Is he stronger than you? Carry him here?” The boss commanded ruthlessly.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
If it were an adult , they would have dragged the adult to him ruthlessly but when it comes to a little boy, they had to call him as if they didn't know what to do, the boss thought angrily.
"Sir, we are scared to touch him because he may be a son of your relative, sir,” the guard that was on phone with the boss said. “What are you talking about?” The boss asked.
"The little one looked so much like you, sir." he responded
