"So, after thinking about this for the whole day, I decided to hire Jim Iglesias.'
"S- Sir, thank you very much!"
A slightly balding man wept when he realized that he was chosen. He was getting depressed and stressed these days. He was doing his best but he knew that his ability was not enough to feed his family.
He loved his family and he wanted to give them a better life. He wanted his children to finish college because they were all his treasures. Unfortunately, his first son and daughter decided to work instead of studying, they know how hard it was to go to college.
So Jim Iglesias promised to his second and third sons would finish college instead. Still, even though there were three workers in their family, it was enough to make everyone happy. Especially when his wife birthed another child... Ahem, Jim Iglesias was quite active at night.
Anyway, Jim Iglesias was a good person.
He started crying and even his colleagues congratulated him.
"You can start tomorrow. Here's the address. Get there before 7 am so that Santiago can brief you about your job.'
"Thank you, sir!"
Keith Castillo nodded. Two trusted people told him that Jim Iglesias is a good person and Keith decided to hire him.
He looked at the other four workers and all of them were happy for Jim Iglesias. However, Keith could see dissatisfaction in Randy Cruz's eyes.
Welp, not his problem. He would never hire a troublesome guy in his shop. He is doing business, not charity. On top of that, Keith never liked wife beaters.
The idea of hurting your partner is insanity in his dictionary. The men of Castillo never hurt a woman. They are gentlemen!
After that, Keith sent them out of the subdivision with his car. He drove to the FCIE to check on his two workers... He felt bad when he saw them sweating and exhausted. It seems that two people are not enough to handle all of the people.
"Boss!"
Waylen was the first to notice his arrival and greeted him.
"How's work?"
"Haha! As always, the 500 burgers are sold-out before 4 pm."
"That's good."
The television in the shop was working fine and it was currently airing YuYu Hakusho. Even though they were adults, men are still boys deep in their hearts.
Santiago was watching the anime seriously.
'I remember that they only have black and white television in the province. I guess colored tv is better than black and white.'
"Brother-in-law!"
Santiago saw Keith and greeted him.
"It's fine. You can sit down. It's obvious that you guys already clean the shop. You deserve a rest."
Keith grabbed the money from the cash register. Then, he looked at the refrigerator and confirmed that they sold most of the beverages.
"I guess I have to buy more tomorrow."
He looked at Waylen and Santiago who were tired.
"I guys, I have an announcement to make. I hired another worker and he will start tomorrow. Our job will be lesser."
The two nodded. They already heard about it. It was a good thing for them.
"Another thing, I feel like adding another 100 burgers to our daily quota. So we have to sell 600 burgers in a day. What do you think? Can we sell all of them?"
"Hm, I think it's quite possible."
"I think so too. I feel bad that I always leave before 4 pm. I feel like I'm not doing enough job for my salary."
Santiago and Waylen believe that 600 burgers are not a problem.
"Tomorrow, I will work too. Let's all do our best."
"Alright."
The main reason why Keith added another 100 burgers to the quota was because of the mission he recently got.
He needs to profit 1 million in 100 days. Honestly, Keith felt like it would be impossible. His daily profit grossed 8,000 pesos at best.
On top of that, they don't work every Sunday and Keith was adamant to keep this rule intact. Sunday means a rest day.
However, he has to try. Even if it's impossible to earn 1 million in 100 days, Keith Castillo will try. There's nothing bad about doing so.
"Then, see you again tomorrow. Santiago, take care of the shop."
"Don't worry, brother-in-law."
"Drive safely boss!"
Keith left after taking the money. He didn't work for two days but he felt like it was already a week. Perhaps he was not used to being free. He is the type who likes doing something, especially earning money.

"Let's see..."
Leah Castillo opened the letter she received from the hospital. Perhaps she was doing something bad but she had to do it.
'The family of Castillo always has sons and it's very rare for them to have a daughter.'
He heard from his husband, Ernesto Castillo, that their lineage has few daughters. Even their ancestors were troubled about it.
So Leah Castillo couldn't help but do something to answer her questions. She has to know if Sophia is her granddaughter.
To be honest, she was scared. Sophia is so cute that she didn't know what to do. Even though Roman is cute, he resembles Ernesto very much. Stoic and always serious.
After taking a deep breath, Leah read the results...
99.99 percent. Sophia is related to her by blood!
"Yes!"
She screamed. She felt like she won the lottery. Then she read Roman's result too.
Just as she expected, Roman is her grandson as well.
Just to make sure, she did a DNA test using Ernesto, Keith, and her hair and the results were all the same.
Both kids are her grandchildren! Oh, how happy she was. She jumped around with no care.
She suddenly wanted to call Keith and invite them to dinner!
