Chapter 45: Persuading Mom and Dad to Live in the City

"What are you talking about? We all agreed to send you to the city." His father patted Arlan's shoulder.

"Son, are they your friends?" His mother asked while looking at Khalon and Karl. 

Arlan wiped the tears on his face. He then looked at his parents and hesitated for a moment before he answered. "Those two are working for me. My position in the new company I'm working for is quite high so I need some people to help me with certain tasks." 

His parents were a bit surprised to hear his words. Just a week ago, he was still a construction worker. His sudden jump in status was too sudden that they almost found it hard to believe. 

His mother smiled as she said. "Let's talk inside. It's very hot outside. Tell your friends to get inside as well." 

The hut was so small and it could barely fit all of them. Khalon was even forced to stand up because he was too big for their chairs.
