"I know you're good with computers, and that's why I want you to handle this. You are now part of the workers in the casino. Can you do it?" Miguel asked. "Yeah, sure, Sir. I can help out with that," Jackson replied confidently. "Okay, good. There's a board meeting later today in the company, so I want you to come with me. I'll introduce you to the other workers and the new project we've asked the manager to introduce," Miguel explained. "Alright, Sir," Jackson agreed.

Meanwhile, during their work break, Miguel and Alejandro were seated in the casino’s dining room with a buffet on the table. Various juicy and jaw dropping dishes laid on the table. “So what do you think we should do about this?” Miguel asked. He was talking about the wallet of the strange man.“We should check out the wallet and find out what's inside or what do you think?"Miguel stroked his chin at Alejandro's question. "It's a good idea, but you need to be really careful, we don't know what is inside or what this person wants and I don't want you to get hurt.” he said and took a bite of his doughnut. "Don't worry bro, everything is going to be fine, okay?” Alejandro reassured him but within he's deeply concerned about it. “Okay, but what about Sophie?" “What about her?" he wrinkled his smooth face at Miguel's question.“She hired a gym instructor, are you in support of that?” Miguel asked.“Yea she said she needs to keep fit so I let her hire him.”“I think they are familiar w

In the Great Pyramid Casino, Alejandro rushed into his office. “How did this happen?” He asked Miguel.“All the evidence was cleared before we got here, and we barely managed to put the fire down.” “What do you mean?” he asked confused“There was a fire and the CCTV footage was tampered with, we don't know who did it.” Miguel said furiously to Alejandro.“It must be Diego Morales, we need to find him and put an end to all of this.” Alejandro slammed his hands on the table. This whole issue was getting him infuriated. “You need to calm down bro, calm down,” Miguel said softly. “We need to sort this out, intelligently. First we need to know who sent you that warning earlier today.”Alejandro nodded his head.“We need to get in touch with whoever that person is. You have seen the person was really trying to help, right? What you have to do is text them back and wait for a response.”“How about the stranger from yesterday?” Alejandro asked Miguel.“I've ordered Jackson to look into it,

"Sophia, wait!" Alejandro called out to his wife.She stopped her car and rolled down the window, looking at her husband with angry eyes. Despite his good looks, Alejandro felt worthless to her because he was broke. “What do you want?”"Sophie, I thought you said you'd give me a ride today," he said, trying to catch his breath, but Sophia's reaction was harsh."Why would I bother with someone like you? You can't even afford a car. Take the bus, that's what poor people do," she spat before driving off, leaving Alejandro feeling hurt and rejected.He proceeded to walk to work, dressed neatly in uniform. He was handsome and attracted attention, but he only had eyes for his wife, Sophia, despite her disrespect."Hey there!" Someone called out, and Alejandro looked up to see a fancy car parked nearby. It was bright colored, and the driver, a woman wearing expensive diamond jewelry, smiled at him.She is Charlotte Roosevelt, the daughter of Mr. Roosevelt, a very wealthy businessman.She has

"This can't be happening," Alejandro whispered more to himself.His eyes welled up with tears as he thought about his wife. What would he tell her? What would he tell his family? They would mock him, as they always did.Alejandro made his way to his workstation, packing up his belongings. He had been loyal to his boss for years, ever since he graduated from school, and now he was being cast aside. He felt a surge of anger, not just at losing his job, but at his boss's lack of trust in him. He hadn't been given a chance to prove himself. But in the end, he was just another insignificant employee.Stuffing his designs into his bag, including the ones he had hoped to present to his boss, Alejandro felt a surge of bitterness. He glanced at the jewelry, especially the piece he had intended for Sophia, before angrily shoving them into his bag."Oh, leaving already? I can talk to your boss for you. You know what I want," Charlotte interjected, her voice cutting through his thoughts. Alejandr

He arrived on time at the big company building, feeling excited about the opportunity.When he approached the receptionist, she gave him a sensual look.But he overlooked her. "I'm here for my interview," he said politely, offering a small smile.The receptionist hesitated but eventually allowed him inside. He waited for a while before being called in by another employee.“Good morning, sir.” Alejandro greeted the interviewer as he entered the room."Good morning. Please take a seat," the interviewer said and Alejandro sat down.Just then, Charlotte walked into the office, "Charles, is this your choice for the job? Big mistake," she said, addressing the interviewer."Do you know each other, Charlotte?" Charles asked."Yes, he's not suitable for the interview," Charlotte declared."But I..." Alejandro attempted to speak."Shut up. Get out now," Charlotte snapped at him."Please, sir.

That night, it was past twelve when he got back home.He told Miguel what happened, and how Charlotte ruined everything."Charlotte, again?” Miguel inquired. His eyebrows were raised."Yeah, she's been making my life miserable," Alejandro said and shook his head in disbelief.Miguel sighed, "That sounds terrible. What are you going to do now?"Alejandro shrugged. "I don't know. I feel lost," he admitted."You have to go back to Sophia," Miguel suggested to him.Alejandro hesitated, "What's the point? What if she doesn't want me back?""You won't know until you try," Miguel said and tried to reason with him. “You love her right?” Miguel asked and it spiked up passion in Alejandro, he moved from depressed to interested in a few seconds, turned to face his best friend.“She's my whole life, I can't live without her.” He admitted softly.“Then go to her.” That was the solution. And then Alejandro decided he was going to see Sophia, he just hoped he wouldn't regret it.Alejandro nodded slo
