Reggie Rockwitz.
Why was I feeling shivers and hefty thumps of heartbeats?
quavering my entire upper body?
Yes, Mr. Wiran just called me all of a sudden,
and now I'm following these two guys, whom I threatened to death. None of them spoke a single word.
Am I going to get guillotined? I haven't even had sex in my 24 years of misery.
as we reach the greenpale
I saw a glistening muscular beauty. "It was an SUV of Volvo," I know for sure.
It was Wiran's thing for sure.
I always kept a pocket knife with me, for safety, of course, but I haven't used it since, and I can't remember where I kept it; maybe it's still in my uncle's house.
I kept cussing me while walking inside the corridor till I reached a cabin that gave off the smell that we typically get from houses belonging to the top 2% of the population, i.e., the elites.
The air conditioner's breeze passed over my face as I entered.
"Where were you?" Why was your phone switched off? "Are you having a problem of some sort"? asked Mr. wiran/Luci
"My phone ran out of battery and I don't have a charger with me; also, I finished cleaning in the morning, and these two fellas refused to give me my pay."
"Your pay will be given through me, and they are not responsible for releasing payments; I should have told you, my bad."
"You two wind up the office and take these two bags and this whiteboard, and Reggie, you take a table fan from the storeroom, take a right from the--"
"I know it, sir. I know the storeroom. Where are we moving these things from?"
"the big Davis." The mechanic guy said, "I forgot the name of..."
There were seven chairs aligned like a classroom in front of two whiteboards that were not symmetrically aligned.
"There were 3 new faces I saw quite naturally, but one guy caught my eye for too long; he was above 6'4; I can tell as he exceeded my height, and was the only person in the room to do that."
"So without any delay, we'll start the initiation," said Wiran.
"So after all, they both haven't told about the tussle we had in the morning." That was so damn nice of them to take it seriously.
"We took an incredibly complex and heavy responsibility into our hands, and in short, we will be dealing with all the activities that aren't legal but are ethical and non-violent."
What kinds of activities are illegal, ethical, and non-violent? aren't these words contradictory?
"We are an organization that took on the charge of managing racing events wholly underground."
My jaw dropped! I felt elevated as if all my fantasies except those involving women were being fulfilled. I have a badass team that doesn't look badass, and now it needs speed, bitch less goo
"Don't get too excited, Reggie; the work is ten times messier than corporate and has a bigger responsibility than that of bureaucrats." so anyone not willing to work can step outside and leave peacefully."
I controlled myself and brought back my discipline.
None of them stepped outside the hall; all were fixed on their spots like statues in the museum.
"So fine, if any casualties happened throughout our working term, the corp is not responsible for them, including death." One more thing we are supposed to work on, giving our very best, is building synergy, trust, and experience."
" I too don't have any experience in this line of work but as my buddies worked in this industry they agreed to help us understand the basics and will be guiding us throughout".
"Maybe this should do for today, I will be segregating the type of work based on your prior experience, you can have lunch here we have cheese sticks and ketchup as of now."
with this wiran ended his speech.
"my stomach growled and hurt as it was empty since the last thing I ate was butter biscuits."
after eating 8 cheesesteaks I was half full and it should do till evening. then one of the whiteboards wiran started drawing two simple columns on one side he started writing down the names of all of us and wrote mine on the bottom which hurt my ego.
In the next column, he started writing down roles that each one of us will have.
names roles
1. jojo :- finance mananger
2. joyce :- Digital records & registrations.
3. Alfred:- event handler 1
4. fiord:- event handler 2
5. yun :- event handler 3
6. jinx and wiran:- marketing and advertising
7. Reggie:- cash collecter.
wiran calmly said,
"There are more roles and team members than this who are currently not present and some posts are still vacant. we will be complete within two days. 4 days later we have a grand opening ceremony of the corporation at the cleo's place which will be followed by a friendly race event to bring on the heat."
I completely forgot I had aunt Lisa, uncle max, will they worry about me? should I get involved in this?
I said,
"sir, thanks for giving me this responsibility, but what exactly do I need to do? except collecting bills"?
"cash management is not easy, make one mistake and you are out of this. all you need is collect the cash and forward the confirmation through the system to Joyce and then print the receipt and hand it to the customer".
"That's a pretty good job and I can nail it." I said
"any more questions"?
wiran said taking a keen look at all of our faces and finally concluded his lecture."
"it's time we should leave jinx, follow my ass".
that 7-foot beast rose from the chair and left the room with Mr. wiran.
so everyone started talking to each other, the technical team got on their computers, and the event team started making arguments already.
"I was still stressed about not having a place to live, and my stuff lying openly outside, the only thing that came to my mind was Jojo. he can help me find a room or dorm anything would be fine."
so I reached him and asked him in the most humble tone ever,
Jojo said, " hmm.. let's see, my home is quite troublesome cause I have a family, Yun's place is full too. wait, jinx has a room, you can ask him if it's for a few days."
" hey, Joyce don't you and jinx live together ?" Jojo spoke with a loud voice and it embarrassed me.
"We do, what's the matter?" said Joyce
"Reggie needs a place to live only for a few days till he finds an apartment nearby. so can he share a room with you guys if you don't mind, he can pay rent".
Joyce tilted her head towards me to analyze my whole body. then she said "is it just you"? she asked
"yeah I whispered
"yeah it's fine as far as jinx agrees". she said
Jojo gave me his number. first of all, I need to get a charger for my phone, I went to a nearby store and returned it. half of the members left only Jojo and Alfred left.
I called jinx as soon as I charged my phone to 4% cause I don't have patience left anymore. I need a place to comfortably rest my ass during the night.
"hi-jinx, I'm Reggie this side-"
