Capítulo 3: Sign here and here
The door shut behind the detective leaving Neville and Mr. Mosby in the room.
Neville decided to break the silence, " Sir?"
" Mr. Grey, thanks to the recent incident. Our company is going to go through a lot of unwanted attention. I'm positive that detective isn't going to let this blow over. I'm also sure about the court summons, warrants and subpoenas we might be getting… Also I can't just ignore the recent incident. Someone important just died, a lot of eyes are going to be on my company…" said Mr. Mosby as he tapped his fingers on his desk while he supported his head on his other hand's palm. He looked stressed.
" Tell me Grey… Were you involved in this? Cause if I find out you were…"
" No Sir, I'm quite clueless on the matter as well."
"…" Mr. Mosby quietly looked at Grey for some seconds, his gaze as intense as it was cold and they were. Mr. Mosby didn't like people messing around with his money.
" I want to cut you loose… it's nothing personal. It's just that this matter is delicate and it's bad for business. Your license as an B- grade driver of our company will be taken away. You also have to sign a couple of contracts." Said Mr. Mosby breaking the silence while also pinching his nose bridge in resignation.
Mr. Mosby then reached out for his telephone pressed a key and, "Genevieve." He called briefly as he reclined back in his chair.
The man was going bald, and slightly plump, he still looked good but his body was like a bodybuilder who gained a stomach and the neck got thicker. His skin was slightly tanned. His left hand fingers had three thick rings, He rolled up his sleeves slightly, reaching a level just below his elbow. His left hand was tattooed but one couldn't make out what it was till it was fully revealed, here he also had an old silver watch. And his right hand was hairy. He wore a simple white shirt with a bird pin on his collar. And the man smelled nice. His eyes were small, so were his ears and nose, that with his whole body shape made him look like a teddy bear.
But a bear was still a bear…
This was what Neville observed as he looked at the man in silence. " He's avoiding potential trouble by letting me go now. From his point of view, I'm a variable, and considering how the investigations may develop, if I am 'involved' then he avoids trouble by pinning me as a rogue individual and even if I'm not he remains fine. I think that is what he wants though this doesn't make this situation better… I was almost close to finish off my debt…"
Minutes later, Genevieve, the HR Manager who refused to acknowledge Neville's presence earlier walked in with a bunch of papers in her hand.
She wore a tailored black suit, with a white blouse. Her skirt was short, just a couple inches from her knees. Her legs were in black stockings, leaving a thin white strip of flesh between her skirt and her stockings. Her shirt was slightly unbuttoned showing her cleavage. She had big circle earrings. And her dark hair was tied up and braided into a bun showing her neck and ears, her hair also had one grey stripe on it. She had thin red lips and even thinner eyebrows. Her lashes were long and dark contrasting wwll with her hazel eyes. She had a small face with a mole below her left eye. As well as some slight almost invisible wrinkles coming from her nose descending close to her lips' edge's giving her a mature vibe.
" Give it to him." Said Mr. Mosby.
From a distance she stood as stretched her arm holding the paper. It was still a bit far but she looked like she had no intention of moving closer to Neville. So he also stretched his hand.
Holding the papers he felt their warmth, it was freshly printed.
" They have these on standby?" Thought Neville.
As he started reading the contracts.
" A Non- disclosure? Wasn't this on my employment contract? Are they making sure or did they forget? Then A non compete where I can't get a similar job position with their competitors. Well in my line of work the customers prefer certain drivers, so I guess this is okay. And they want me to do a final drive?" Thought Neville.
" We have treated you well. Sign the documents and hand in a resignation letter, Since I can't terminate your contract without any legal and valid ground nor giving you an official notice. You are a smart fella… I'm sure you already know why we are doing this." Mr. Mosby said.
" We are also offering Mr. Grey a generous final check and a severance pay." Said Genevieve and her tone was slightly hostile.
" If that's the case and considering I've read the contracts and there seems to be nothing damning. I can only sign and blame my luck. The only vague thing is this drive." Thought Neville. Honestly this situation he had no better way out. His boss was doing some damage control incase shit ever hit the fan. Also to go through all of this it seems the company has something it desperately wants to hide considering how it doesn't want attention.
So they are doing this to appear 'innocent'. By making him write a resignation letter they can dodge two missiles.
One is bad public perception if it ever got out they fired a driver just cause the police were slightly suspicious.
Two is legal concerns. If the company cites the explosion as the reason for the layoff, it could be seen as an admission of guilt by association, opening them up to potential lawsuits. That's why they needed to be very careful about their reasoning for the layoff.
As the matter of handling issues behind the ' convenient' resignation letter. They could deal with it internally so that wasn't an issue. But yes the company seemed to be hiding something.
" What is this final commission?" Asked Neville.
" It's nothing grand Mr. Grey, just the regular pickup but slightly complicated. I'll explain further later." Said Mr. Mosby.
