Josh could gained Doug’s trust more and more each day. Doug’s very satisfied with his achievement so far. Josh was very happy for it and turned his guard down. But he didn’t know someone envy him because of his success.
Brian still held a huge grudge toward Josh, since Josh could gained Doug’s trust more and more each day. He envy him in such short time Josh could win his heart, while he had worked with Doug for more than ten years. He had planned something horrible to get rid of Josh from Doug once and for all. He couldn’t get defeated again this time, he had prepared well. He bribed the accountant for a long time to embezzled Doug’s money, and this time he told the accountant to made Josh to be responsible for all of it.
One day he reported it to Doug, Doug couldn’t believe it at first, he told them to do some investigation. But the report really pointing at Josh as the culprit. He then told his man to called Josh to the office.
Doug :”Josh can you explained this now ? I’ve got reported that you embezzled my money !”
Josh :”Sir, I’ve never working in the office how can I embezzled your money ?”
Doug :”I know, I can’t believe it either. But this report said you who did it !”
Josh :”I believe someone had trapped me sir.”
Brian :”Sir, why don’t you search his house ?”
Josh :”What are you looking for at my place ?”
Brian :”I don’t know maybe you safe your money at your house ?”
Josh :”How do you know I safe my money at my house ?”
Brian :”We’ll see ?”
Doug :”OK we’ll go to your house !” Doug wanted to proof Josh was innocent also, so he wanted to make sure it with his own eyes.
Josh was very confident he was innocent, he sent them to his boarding house. Hawk heard about what happened to him and he went to the boarding house also to see what happened. Josh opened his room, he was unaware someone had entered his room without his noticed before.
Doug’s men was searching his room and found a bag below his bed and brought it to Doug. He opened the bag and saw a lot of money inside it. Josh’s eyes got widened, he got shock.
Josh :”This is not my bag, someone had set me up !”
Doug :”But it was under your bed ! Take him to the office !”
Hawk got shock also, he said to himself “It’s definitely a set up, I know Josh won’t do it !”
They got back to the office, Doug told other to leave him alone with Josh in his office.
Doug :”Josh, I’ve known you for quiet a long time why did you do this to me ?”
Josh :”I didn’t sir.”
Doug :”You know I hate liars ! And you still deny it till now ? I should report you to the police now, but considering your well behave to me all this year I won’t report you ! But you must leave my company starting tomorrow. Here some money for your hard work for me all this time.”
Josh :”I’m sorry sir, I have nothing to say to you anymore. And I can’t take your money.”
Doug :”Josh one more thing, stop seeing my daughter and you don’t have tutor her anymore from now on !”
Josh :”Yes sir, I promised you. I thank you for all this year you’ve taught me a lot, you just like my own father. Now,will you excuse me.”
Josh left his office, his heart was torn into pieces, a tear fell from his eye, he just continued walk and walk to everywhere as far as he could go away from the office. He ended at the park and he just sat down at the bench because of exhausted from walking such a long distance. He just sat there without doing anything, he saw some people walk in and go in front of him. His eyes just saw the sky blankly. He sat there till night, and it’s getting cold, he then tried to walk to the bus station and went back to his boarding house.
Meanwhile Doug heaved a heavy sigh since Josh left his office. He remembered the day when he came to him for the first time with the eyes of tiger, passionately work hard for him everyday. He still couldn’t believe he lost one of his good men. Actually he was a perfect future son in law he told himself, but he just couldn’t bear to see someone cheated on him. That night when he came home he told Caren about Josh cheating on him, and she banned her to see him again. Caren couldn’t believe him, she ran to her bedroom and cried all night.
Josh came back to his boarding house very late at night, Hawk was there waiting for him.
Hawk :”Josh, where have you been, I’ve been looking for you everywhere ?”
Josh :”Hawk my mind so messy right now, don’t ask me about anything now. I just wanna have a sleep.”
Hawk :”OK just go to sleep !”
The next morning, Hawk knocked his door, he was worried with him. He took some breakfast for Josh with him. After some time, Josh finally opened his door.
Hawk :”Josh, just eat this breakfast, maam Gong had mad this for you. You must be didn’t had dinner ? Come on let’s try it some.”
Josh :”Thank you Josh for understanding me all this time.”
Hawk :”Of course I believe you, I’ve known you for a long time ! So what’s your plan now ?”
Josh :”I still can’t think now. I can’t work in that company again now, Doug fired me yesterday.”
Hawk :”What ? He fired you that fast without further investigation ? I just couldn’t believe this !”
Josh :”Maybe I’ll move from here too in this short time. This place is too close to that company, I don’t wanna remember those bad times !”
Hawk :”Where will you go ?”
Josh :”I haven’t decided yet. Don’t tell my mom and Megumi about what happened OK ? I’ll figure it out myself.”
Hawk :”OK. I wish you good luck. I have to work now. See you later Josh.”
The news about Josh got fired from company A had spread out to their rival at company B. The CEO of company B Shawn Ma had heard about Josh special skills for long time. He told his assistant to keep an eye of him if he got out of company A he would snatch him away, he need a man like Josh to help him in his company. When he heard about Josh being framed and got fired, he smiled he said to himself “Now it’s my time will arise again, I’ll make him be somebody under my boat, he’s a precious germ I’ll polish him a little and he’ll be shining !”
Meanwhile, Josh still confusing, he didn’t know what to do, he just ate and slept for three days. On the forth day someone came to his boarding house in the morning, he was looking for him, the landlord lady knocked his door and told him. Josh went out to see him.
Josh :”Who are you ? Are you looking for me ?”
The man :”Yes, I’m Randy from company B. I’ve been told by my CEO Mr. Shawn Ma to take you to his office, he wants to see you.”
Josh :”Me ? Who am I, that your boss want to see ?”
The man :”I’m serious, here is his letter for you.”
Josh received the letter and read it “Hi Mr. Wu I’m Shawn Ma from company B, I’m interested with your talent, please follow this young man to see me in my office. Yours Shawn Ma.” There is a head letter of the company in the top of the letter. Josh was hesitated at first, he couldn’t believe his eyes. But Randy convinced him to go with him. He told Randy to wait for him to take a bath. He took a bath as fast as he could then he got dress up with formal suit. He was ready to go now, there was a slight hope and passion light up on his heart. He asked to himself “Will it be my new page ? Is God still give me a chance to chase my dream ? Ah… just face him first !”
