The travel 1

As Raymond and Kyle didn't have any other work to do, they decided to go and grab some snacks and as Raymond was logging out of the news site to shut down his laptop, an email popped up.

"No. Freaking. Way!" Raymond shouted in excitement.

"Aren't you full of surprises today? What is this excitement about? Let me guess, your crush finally replied to your texts?"

"This one is way better than any type of text, hear this,

'Congratulations, you have been chosen to partner with us in producing a game, we went through your proposal and your words was worth giving a try. We are excited to have you work with us and we will be more than delighted to have you with us from next month, we happily look forward to seeing you and we hope you are too.' He read.

"And this is coming from the shipsman company" Raymond said happily.

"No. Freaking.Way." Kyle said.

"I know right. It is just too unbelievable."

"We got chosen!"

"Yes!"

"We were chosen."

"Yes brother,yes."

"This is the moment we celebrate our victory."

"All bills on me."

"That's the spirit, you are just this close on becoming a millionaire." Kyle said pinning his thumb and first finger together.

"If only this whole thing works out."

"Of course it will, it should."

"We will have to inform everyone about this."

"The meeting has already been cancelled."

"Just pass another memo and tell them it's still holding."

"Why pass a memo when I can just say it to them, Meet us at the meeting room in five minutes." Kyle said and left the room.

"Thank you mother nature,thank you." Raymond said and twirled happily in his seat.

Eric wearing a disappointed face kept a constant gaze on Josh as he watched him do his work.

"You are definitely going to need me one day and it might be too late as I might no longer exist." Eric said.

"And I sincerely pray that day comes sonnest."

"Josh,I am your father,I gave you a life and everything you needed, I have loved and cherished you Josh, this isn't the right way to pay me back."

"Of course. You did do me a billion dollar favour." Josh said sarcastically.

"Josh, your attitude is becoming too much for me to bear, I can no longer continue keeping you in my house." He chuckled. "I am sure you know what I mean by that."

"You don't have to stress it, Father, I am leaving your house by tomorrow, Father. I have a company that is wishing to be with me."

"I don't understand what you mean by that."

"Of course I knew you wouldn't, your brain can no longer function well because you have filled it with..."

"Just stop it Josh, if you don't want to say it then forget it, you are lucky I need you alive if not." He shook his head. "Thank your stars."

"I have been chosen by Shipsman company to partner with them in producing a new game, I will be leaving tomorrow and I am happy I will getting away from you."

"I am happy too, Go home and get prepared and make sure you don't disappoint me."

"You don't tell me what I should or should not do. I will leave when I feel like." He said as he glared at Eric. Picking the telephone on his desk, he punched in some numbers;

"Gather the staff in the meeting room now, I have things to say to them." Placing down the phone, he picked his suit coat and left the room.

Raymond stepped out of the meeting room with Laura and two other employees walking behind him. Reaching his office, he threw the door open and shifted to the side allowing his employees to take the lead, he then stepped inside and closed the door behind him.

"Please, take a seat." Raymond said as he sat down.

"I invited the three of you here to specially plead with you to take care of the company in my absence. I want the three of you to co operate well with the rest of the employees to make this company grow, it would break my heart if I receive any news of misconduct from either of you."

As he was talking,Kyle came into the room and went to stand beside him.

"Of course sir,we will do our very best,I promise we would not disappoint you, you will be pleased with the progress you will meet when you get back." One of the employees named Daniel said.

"That quite reassuring. Well I am sure you all know that Kyle here will be occupying my position as the head of this company, I will like to urge you to co operate well with him. I know why I am stressing on co operating with eachother because I would not want all my efforts to go to waste, I don't know how long I am going to stay there but I'll try to come down here when I get the chance, please don't let me down,I wouldn't want to be disappointed." Raymond said putting his hands together in a plea.

"You can count on us sir,I ensure you that we would co operate well with Kyle as well as the rest us." Laura said with smiles.

"Of course. Jake." Raymond called. " Do we still have enough cash ?"

"We do have cash, if well managed, it will be enough,but if not, then I am afraid it wouldn't." Jake, the guy who was responsible for the company's money answered.

"Then I would want you to give me a well managed budget for next month before I leave."

"Alright sir."

"Apart from this money issue, do we have any other problem that needs attention?" Raymond asked and the employees shook their heads negatively.

"Okay,then I guess we are done discussing." He said smiling politely at them and they stood up to leave.

"Are you really placing me in charge sir?" Kyle asked as he took a seat after his fellow colleagues had left.
