“Y-You are…”Sam’s heart thundered in his chest so hard he felt like his ribs cracked, and then the heart sank into his stomach.He still clearly remembered the image of thousands of people shaking Kevin’s hand, with their backs lowered.It was more intimidating than the men from the mafia kissing the hand of their boss.He could never forget that image even if he wanted to.He immediately backed away in trepidation.“W-Why are you here?” his voice cracked.Emma immediately got behind Kevin. “Call the police, Kevin! He escaped from jail! He should be sent back.”Kevin, however, glanced over his shoulder. “I heard what he said. You sent him to jail by lying about him.”“No, I didn’t! He really abused me!” she shouted.Kevin didn’t believe her. “Tell the court the truth. I will make it so that you won’t get to jail, but you will still have to pay money to your ex-boyfriend for all the pain you inflicted on him.”“I want a million,” Sam quickly said. “Not a penny less.”“Fuck you!” Emma

“You do?” The old man’s eyes were full of doubt.Could a young man like Kevin possibly understand his worries? How minutes could stretch into hours in the bathroom as the body refuses to cooperate.Doctors have names for it, pills for it, charts for it. But none of them help much.The reason he still came to this toilet company now was because of the advertisement and the one line that was said in the advertisement: Create the toilet your body thanks you for.“Do you understand what I exactly want?” the old man asked.“Yes, sir,” Kevin made him sit down in a chair first. “I have been approached by elderly people before, and they expressed their difficulties. Recently, I have been working on squat toilets, too. And I was researching on why people squat to defecate since old days. It turns out that squatting naturally triggers the relaxation of muscles in the pelvic region that otherwise resist bowel movement. But elderly people often can’t. Even squatting may prove difficult if they’re

In Brielle’s office.“Ma’am, coffee,” a nearby cafe worker brought coffee into her office.“Fuck off,” she waved her hand, sending him away immediately.She called Orland on mobile and talked with him, “Do you think we should invest in Silverade?”“Crypto is like a bubble. The bots could be faking the rise in its value,” Orland said. “Let’s not fall into that trap.”“We can invest ten million. It’s no big deal,” Brielle said.“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”“Are you not seeing the numbers? It’s risen by four times since morning,” Brielle blurted with annoyance. “We can buy coins worth ten million now and sell them at night. We could easily earn at least more than a million in profit.”Orland sighed. “Fine, do what you want, but what will Kevin think if he knows that you bought Silverade? He thinks you are copying him.”Brielle frowned. She didn’t like that at all. “Dammit.”Even though she very much wanted to buy the crypto coins right now, her ego did not allow it.She refreshed

That night.Brielle came home and found out from the maid that Kevin wasn’t home. She immediately went to Cecilia’s room.“Why isn’t Kevin home yet?” Brielle asked. “Did he call you and tell you where he is?”“No. He’s probably working late at the office,” Cecilia said.“Probably? Call him. Now!”“Ugh,” Cecilia reluctantly made a call. “Hey, where are you?”“In my office.”“Still working?”“Yeah. Why?”“Nothing,” Cecilia was saying, but Brielle whispered something to her. She cleared her throat and asked, “My mom is here. She wants you to open video call and show us around.”A momentary pause.“Why are you not saying anything, Kevin?” Brielle shouted. “Are you not at the company?”Kevin switched on to the video call mode and showed all around before finally showing the toilet seat he was working on. He wasn’t alone. Half the members were working overtime. “Are you happy now, Aunt?”“Hmph, why would I be happy?”“Yeah, you want me to fail, so you couldn’t be happy that I wasn’t lying,”

At eight in the morning.It was a time when the company members would start to work. The guard was the first one to arrive.He was surprised to see that Kevin was still inside.He brought a coffee from a nearby store and gave it to Kevin.Kevin appreciated this gesture and asked the guard as he was walking away. “Is everything okay at your home, Gale?”The guard was surprised. Not because of the question but because Kevin called him by his name. He didn’t think Kevin knew his name. “Ah, yes, sir. Thanks to this job, I’m able to pay the mortgage and save a few bucks.”“A lot of things will change for the company this month,” Kevin said. “The health plan will be upgraded. Pay scale will be improved. You’ll be getting a gun, too, so you will need to get certified for it. Are you up for the task?”Gale was a bit shocked. He was going to receive state-approved training for free and get a license to carry a firearm while on duty for free? This would help him upgrade his resume.Gale immedia
