32 Something mysterious

at 01.00 pm Monterey Mexico time, Ferdinand finally managed to sell his car at a fairly cheap price because inevitably he had to sell the car today instead of using Richard's money to meet his needs. the man walked slowly because his body felt weak while waiting for a passing taxi.

"I didn't have my cell phone with me... so I can't order a taxi," he said worriedly, glancing around with narrowed eyes because it was too hot.

"Oh damn... even this street is too quiet...."

Ferdinand continued walking by using the hood of the hoodie to cover his head, then put his hands into the side trouser pockets. The man continued walking for several meters and suddenly a group of men on motorbikes stopped nearby. he stopped and looked at the group of men dressed as thugs, numbering about 5 people.

"Hey!" shouted the long-haired man, getting off his motorbike followed by his colleagues.

Ferdinand fell silent with a sense of wariness, glancing at those who were looking at him haughtily.

"Entregue su dinero!"

"I don't understand...." Ferdinand frowned.

"Sé que acabas de vender tu auto... ¡así que sé que ahora tienes mucho dinero!"

"What are you talking about, I don't know!" Ferdinand said angrily.

"¡Puedo hablar English, déjame hablar con él...!" Said the thug with short hair.

long-haired thugs let short-haired thugs approach Ferdinand.

"give us your money!" exclaimed the short-haired thug.

Ferdinand immediately smiled cynically. "Do you think I'm crazy? I can't possibly hand my money over to you guys!"

"So you want us to force you?"

"you think?"

"hand it over now before I think of breaking your neck!" exclaimed the short-haired thug while the other thugs only nodded with their hands on their hips and stared at Ferdinand with arrogance.

"You know I didn't bring anything... I don't have any money right now," said Ferdinand angrily.

The short-haired thug looked at Ferdinand with a probing look, then came closer to feel his backside but Ferdinand immediately pulled away.

"no!" cried Ferdinand emphatically.

"You must have hidden your money in there!"

"I have no money at all!"

The short-haired thug was getting impatient. He immediately turned to his comrades and said, "toma el dinero ahora!"

Ferdinand immediately ran, and the thugs immediately chased him while one thug returned to the motorbike and wanted to chase him.

"Hey, stop!"

with all his might from his aching body, Ferdinand tried to avoid the thugs until he arrived at the crossroad. he immediately turned and found a few narrow alleys. he entered one of the narrow alleys and kept running panting like he was about to run out of breath.

"Oh, no!"

Ferdinand felt so tired that even now he was dizzy, now and then he would look back to make sure no thugs caught up to him.

Brughh...

suddenly Ferdinand bumped into two foreign girls. They fell at the same time.

"Ugh... damn it!" the two girls chuckled in annoyance, then tried to stand up. they both look very sexy wearing thigh-high pants and a black tank top and their hair is both blonde.

Ferdinand tried to get up, staring at the girls in the middle.

the two girls cleaned their dirty body parts from falling.

"Sorry ... I'm trying to find shelter," said Ferdinand with a sad look and panting.

The two girls just stared at Ferdinand silently frowning their foreheads.

Ferdinand looked back and pointed. "Some thugs are chasing me because they want to rob me. I have to find a safe place now," he said, looking back at the two girls.

the two girls stared at each other as if considering what to do with Ferdinand.

"Can you help me hide?" asked Ferdinand with a pleading look. "I'm not feeling well... I mean, I'm sick... I can't run anymore now."

"Okay... follow me" the taller girl called out.

Ferdinand immediately followed the girls across a narrow alley which was very quiet. Occasionally he glanced at the other girl who was shorter and had gray eyes, while the taller girl had dark eyes.

"Is she your sister?" he asked.

"No, she's my friend," replied the girl.

"Oh..."

Ferdinand looked back again, making sure no thugs were chasing him.

"Don't worry, they won't dare to chase you because this area is already under my boss' domain," said the girl.

Ferdinand frowned. "your boss's domain?"

the girl smiled. "Ah, never mind. You'll meet her later."

Ferdinand nodded.

Ferdinand nodded and walked back slowly but he suddenly thought of work. He stopped too, stopping one girl and looking at her awkwardly.

"You said you have a boss... that means you have a job place here... does your boss need new employees?"

"I don't know about that but maybe after she sees you she will make you her employee If you need a job," said the girl casually, while her friend had walked over first.

"I need a job, I'm still new to this town..."

"Really?"

"Yeah... whatever the job is I will accept... the most important thing is I can earn money!" Ferdinand said enthusiastically.

The girl looked at Ferdinand who was handsome but rather pale and his body was quite stout.

"I thought my boss would offer you a job," she said.

Ferdinand smiled brightly. "Is that true?"

"Yeah..." the girl shrugged.

Ferdinand smiled with relief at the hint that he would have a job after this.

"By the way... my name is Angel," said the girl, holding out her hand to Ferdinand.

Ferdinand immediately took the girl's hand. "I'm Ferdinand..."

"Your hands are sweating..."

"Uh..."

Ferdinand immediately pulled his hand back then both palms. "I'm too nervous and this situation makes me uncomfortable."

The girl nodded her head. "Then let's go... we'll be there in a bit," she said then continued walking.

Ferdinand followed the girl full of curiosity about what the workplace was like. the man looked around and glanced at the atmosphere which looked gloomy and did not allow cars to enter the area.

'I don't think there can be a company in a hidden place like this,' he thought anxiously.

after a few minutes of walking, finally, Ferdinand and the girl arrived in front of a yellowish-white house consisting of three floors and in front of the main door guarded by several men who looked like thugs.

"what place is this?" he asked.

"You'll find out later," Angel replied, immediately walking towards the main door.

Ferdinand followed the girl in horror because at the door were two thugs who were looking at him seriously. Of course, he was afraid that this was a trap and maybe they were a gang of thugs who were going to rob him earlier.

"I can't ...!"

Angel look at Ferdinand who even backed away, then approached him.

"Don't be afraid of them... since you are with me then they won't dare to hurt you!" said Angel with a reassuring look, seeing the fear on Ferdinand's face.

"I can't believe it... you guys can just take my money later!"

"Oh, my god..." Angel sighed. "we don't need your money because we have a lot of money here!"

"How could that be?"

"I can't explain right now... one thing for sure we'll meet my boss and maybe she'll get you a job!"

"But ..."

Angel was so impatient. She immediately grabbed Ferdinand's hand and pulled him towards the door.

the two thugs immediately confronted Angel and Ferdinand.

Angel stared at the two thugs curtly. "You guys don't need to worry, he's Madam's guest!"

"Really?"

one of the thugs, who was fat and bald, looked at Ferdinand seriously.

Ferdinand was just silent with averted his eyes. The thugs' stares made him uncomfortable, and of course he was really scared that the money stored in his pants would be taken by them.

"You don't need to worry. If he's going to make a mess here, I'll call you guys to punish him!" Angel said firmly.

"Ok..."

Angel immediately pulled Ferdinand into the house, and when they just entered the living room, there were already unpleasant sights. Hmm, what exactly is that place? is this part of Richard's plan?
