2 As long as there is life, there is hope

As Jason left, Nora came out of the storeroom. It was where all the cleaning tools were stored.

Nora planned to rush out immediately in order to avoid meeting Jason, but the manager who was still standing at the spot where she and Jason met, stopped her.

"Did you offend Mr. Anderson?" The manager raised her eyebrows.

"Who's Mr. Anderson?" Nora asked with a hint of confusion.

Get out of my sight" The manager spitted out.

Nora knew that the manager hated her but what can she do? She didn't do anything to offend her so she was less concerned.

Getting outside, the rain started heavily "How do I get home now?" She cried out.

Her house was a little distant from her workplace but she still treks every day. She got some foodstuffs before going home.

Nora got home and met her mom and dad discussing in the sitting room. She saw that they were both frowning so she entered hurriedly and sat by their side.

What's wrong Mom" Nora pats her mom's back.

Your father was fired from work today" Mrs. Raven hugged Nora with a sigh.

Why? How?" Nora voiced out.

They both didn't respond to Nora's question. Mrs. Raven started to cry while Mr. Raven just sat there, confused.

" How are we going to pay your younger brother's school fees? I'm just tired" Mrs Raven cried out loud.

Mom, please, don't be tired. Everything will be fine, I'm working so hard so that we can live fine" sobbed Nora.

Why should you be the one feeding us? You left school for your brother. Now you are the one working so hard so that we can eat and you expect me to be happy?" barked Mrs Raven.

Mom, none of us is in the hospital. We are in perfect health, we have shelter, we eat even though it's twice a day and we are not even naked. You should allow these to encourage you" Nora whimpered.

Mr. Raven stood up and left the house, he could no longer bear his wife crying.

See him" Mrs Raven said pointing to her door after Mr Raven left.

He's not even concerned, you are doing what he's supposed to do. Now you brought foodstuffs, what did your father bring?" Mr Raven queried pointing to the plastic bag Nora brought in.

Nothing" Mrs Raven continued.

Mom, don't blame father. He's trying his best. Good night, I have to sleep" Nora said as she stood and left.

Nora got to her room and tears began to flow from her eyes. She pretends to be strong but she is actually weak, very weak.

But the statement "as long as there is life, there is hope" gives her strength.

.....

Jason got home and met his mother, Mrs. Anderson, waiting patiently for him.

Mom; Why are you here? When did you get back from your tour? You didn't tell me that you were coming" Jason uttered coldly.

What's with all the questions? Aren't you happy to see your mother after one and a half years?" Mrs. Anderson spoke sarcastically.

Mom, I have work to do tonight" Jason snapped angrily.

I'm not here to disturb you, I will save it for another time. But the most essential thing is that you have to bring me a wife so that you won't end up losing the company" Mrs. Anderson chuckled and then climbed the staircase.

Mom, how many days are you spending here?" Jason asked.

Just a week darling. Good night" Mrs Anderson chuckled waving to her son as she went upstairs.

Jason picked up a pillow and threw it to the ground.

"Young Master Anderson, please calm down" Butler Park spoke calmly.

She's such a pain in the ass" Jason said as he walked upstairs.

Butler Park smiled and picked the pillow off up the pillow from the ground.

Jason only showed that he had emotions whenever he was with Butler Park. He has been his butler since he was born. He was the only person that understood Jason well.

Even his mother doesn't know his likes and dislikes, his choices and preferences, all she cared about was that he should manage his father's company.

Jason is the CEO of Jasra gaming company. It is a company that makes games, sells characters and creates software. His company has grown popular in the industry and he is known all over the world.

His father Mr Aaron Anderson, is the chairman and present CEO of Anderson

He wants to hand the company over to Jason because he is the only responsible son he has but following the instructions of his father Jason has to get married first.

But Jason doesn't want a serious relationship with any lady.
