Order a plate of spicy seafood Nasi goreng for room service. Went to take a long shower while waiting for the order to be sent up.
As soon as the food arrived i ate hungrily. I check my emails on my handphone, there want anything that required my immediate attention. After watching tv for while my eyes got heavy and I slept.

Took of a copy of the newspaper and started to read it while eating my breakfast.
I heard the chair beside me moved
My arms came down and I saw Amy sitting beside me.
Amy " good morning , I can share the table with u right ? We are catching the same flight back anyway "
Me " errhhhhh …. Ok .
We didn’t speak a word. Amy took a section of the papers and had her food .

I woke up in time for dinner , took a look at my phone and saw a few missed call from miss YOKO.
I didn’t return call but straight ahead for my meal.
After my meal , I went out to katong park for a stroll. Walked for two rounds around the park. I was nearly reaching the gate of Helen house when I noticed a bike on the footwAy . The bike was not there when I left the house. I slowed down my pace as I passed the bike. The heat from the engine block could be felt as I paused to look at the motorbike mirror , pretending to be a vain pot , adjusting my hair .
I carry on my way to the house and went upstairs immediately . Enter into one of the room that faces the gate. I did not switch on the lights. Hiding behind the curtains with my gaze fix on the surrounding. It was abt 20 mins later I saw a figure emerging out of the darkness. He hid well and blend well with the surrounding. It is pretty clear that this guy might be a PI send to spy on me.
The man let the bike down from the main stand and push his bike slowly towards the main road. Once out of sight , I could hear a muffle sound of the bike engine starting and it was silence after that .
I went back to my round . The phone back ground light buzz , indicating that I missed some calls again.
Pick the HP up and saw ….. It was miss YOKO trying to reach me again !
As soon as I step out the glass door from the airport I saw Mr Z was there to welcome me.
Mr Z " hey , I will get the car "
Me " bro chill … I have arrange my own transport . Why don’t you send ms Amy back. "
As soon I spoke mr tan driver came over..
" sir the car is right this way "
Me " thank you , let’s go "
When we are almost near to katong area I direct the driver …
Me " is ok we head back to my home , I got to check my mails and pack a few clothes before heading back to stay over at Meyer road "
The driver nod his head.
As soon I enter my flat i saw some notice slip under the door
I took it uP and saw a notice asking for me to be present at a law firm. The same one I went with miss V just weeks ago.
I took out my phone and drop a SMS to e given number.
Immediately I got a response and schedule to be at the lawyer office at 9am the next day.
Grab my stuff and head to the car.
Once back at Helen’s place i hang over my dirty laundry to be wash to e domestic maid .
Me " is helen back ?"
Maid " back only next week "
Me " ok wake me up,when dinner is ready . I going to sleep for a while "
Maid " ok sir "

The next day morning i got Helen Family driver to drop me off at the law firm.
Me “Thank you very much, there is no need to wait for me. I will get back myself later”
The elderly driver just nodded his head and went off.
I step into the law firm office and the same receptionist greeted me
“Good Morning, room 2 please” …. she said.
I head towards room two.
The door open and the same elderly lawyer came towards me.
Lawyer “thank you for making time to come down”
Me “so what is it this time?”
Lawyer “you are on Ms V list on the will, we have to execute it”
Me “ohh ?”
Lawyer “the only condition stated here… you must not tell anybody from the company Ms V used to work.”
My simple mind started to work, but i couldn’t figure out a thing.
Me “ is there anything illegal we are talking here”
Lawyer: no …no. U are mistaken. It seems that Ms V sold away her company shares just before she went for her surgery and she has will the amount of money to your name”
The lawyer went on to tell me the amount I was receiving.
It wasn’t in the millions.
Good enough to purchase a 4 room HDB or even maybe the down payment for a condo.
Lawyer “ U need not answer me, just something for you to think about. Has anyone from the company been contacting you?”
Me “Yes”
The lawyer smiled.
Lawyer “just be careful alright?”
He pushed the document for me to sign.
Lawyer “ that will be all, the money will be transfer to your bank account in three days time.”
I stood up, shook his hand and left the office.
I was about to exit the main building when i saw Ms Yoko together with Amy at the lobby.
Ms Yoko “can i have a word with you, Charles?”
Me “ok, let’s talk inside your car.”
Amy immediately pick up her HP, within three minutes the car came.
Amy took the front seat, while Ms Yoko and myself sat at the back.
Yoko “ pls bring us to somewhere private”
Mr Z , the driver took us to a URA carpark at Palmer road.
Yoko “ pls excused us. Mr Charles and I have something to discuss”
Both Amy and the driver step out of the car.
Yoko “ so have u make up your mind to come work for me?”
Me “ i don’t think this is what you intend to talk about right?”
Yoko “ ok i will stop beating round the bush.. what did Ms V will state ? Did she left anything for you”
Me “ i am sorry i can’t tell you anything.”
Yoko “i am willing to paid for the information, name your price”
I look out the window and saw the SBS bus coming out from the bus terminal.
Me “ i am sorry i can’t tell you anything… i will take my leave”
I open the car door and make a dash across the road. Both Amy and the driver were stunted. I was just in time. Hop onto the bus and tapped my translink card.
The passengers on the bus were giving me curious stare as I calm myself down catching my breath.
I alighted at Raffles Place. The crowd just zoom passed me as people are heading places. Not used to the crowd here. Found a small eatery at Clifford Centre, stop by to have coffee and toast.
A tap on my shoulder, follow by a greeting.
“bro what u doing here ?” …. a man voice called out.
Me “ Hey Suresh (page 20, #297) what u doing here ? “
Suresh “ bro i waving at you from just now, you gave me the blank stare?”
Me “ yeah deep in thgs ! … U free?”
Suresh “ i need to deliver this. I see u shortly abt 15 mins?”
Me “ ok i wait for u here”
He came down within 10 minutes.
Me “hey btw how are the shares doing?”
Suresh turn his head left and right to look at the surrounding.
S : “ lets talk in the car ?”
I got his hint.
Suresh drove off and we head back to Marina South old car park.
S “bro are you the only one not knowing what is going on?”
Me “what ?”
S “the company is being investigated!”
Me “ U sure? “
S “i have cash out the shares two weeks before; we have more than enough
bro. I sms u bro, u nvr reply me at all”
Me “ ohh “
S “ U nvr check your bank account ? The money should be in already!!!”
Me “ i just got back from Sabah “
S “ oic”
Me “ thanks for the infor , could you drop me off at the MRT station?”
S “ ok bro”
