Unfold The Secrets

After graduation, Raymond is looking for a job.

"Huh... It's tough to find good jobs these days."

Someone bumps into Raymond.

"Ah... Sorry, I didn't see you. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I am okay."

The person picks up Raymond's resume.

"You're looking for a job?"

"Yes."

"My company is hiring, are you keen to join? What's your name?"

"I am Raymond, may I have your name?"

"I am Keith."

Keith's buddy hugs Raymond.

"Careful!"

Raymond is shocked. "Ah... Thank you."

Fist-fighting sounds.

"Help!"

Raymond heard someone call for help.

Keith grabs Raymond's hand and does a quiet hand sign.

They both slowly walk over to where the fighting scene is.

Keith only sees a man on the ground, lying, not moving.

Raymond wants to touch the man.

Keith grabs Raymond's hand. "Must wear gloves."

Raymond looks at Keith bringing out a pair of gloves from his pocket.

Keith touches the man's neck to check if he is still breathing.

Keith sees the surroundings, grabs Raymond's hand, and quickly runs to a corner.

Keith's hand sign keeps quiet.

A person walks toward the man on the floor. He bends down and takes something from the man's pocket. He walks away.

Keith looks at the man.

Keith grabs Raymond's hand and walks away from the scene.

Shortly the police arrive.

Raymond asks, "Why don't you save him?"

"He is already dead, we shouldn't be involved in the matter."

Raymond looks at Keith, his stomach sounds.

"You're hungry? Come let's eat something."

Keith walks into a restaurant, which looks like prestige fine dining.

Raymond grabs Keith's arm. "This place looks expensive. I am not working."

Keith turns his head and touches Raymond's hand. "I will treat you as a welcome treat."

Raymond says, "Okay, thank you for the treat. By the way what type of job am I doing?"

Keith says, "You can learn as you work."

Raymond thinks maybe it's a normal job.

Raymond looks at the menu. He orders steak and coffee.

Keith orders roasted beef sirloin and tea. Keith orders extra barbecued pork ribs for Raymond.

Keith notices someone is looking at them from afar.

Raymond says, "I need to use the washroom."

Raymond left the table.

After Raymond washes his hands, someone knocks on his door.

"Ah... Sorry."

Raymond says, "I am sorry." He looks at the person but he walks straight into the toilet cubicle.

Raymond felt pain in his arm because of the bumps. He rubs his arm.

Keith looks at Raymond rubbing his arm. "Are you okay?"

Raymond says, "Someone knocks on me, just feels pain."

Keith says, "Later, I'll help you apply some ointment on your arm."

The waitress serves the food and drinks.

Raymond feels uncomfortable and in pain, he wasn't able to cut the steak.

Keith helped to cut the steak for Raymond.

"Thank you."

Keith says, "By the way, this job pays $3500 monthly, excluding going on journeys overseas. We don't have a fixed working time, which means we're always on alert for calls for the job. Are you staying alone?"

Raymond says, "I stay alone."

"Very good save the trouble to call you. You will stay with me at my house."

"Ah? But I didn't bring any clothes, toothbrush, or toothpaste."

Keith says, "No worries, we can buy."

Raymond says, "I don't have money to buy things."

Keith says, "I will advance you your salary so you can have some money."

Raymond says, "Thank you."

Keith ate the steak and felt grateful. "I will work hard."

Raymond smiles, "Work smart because working hard doesn't have an impact on this job."

Keith keeps quiet.

After eating, Keith says, "Let's go buy some clothes and all your personal needs."

Raymond says, "Okay."

Keith asks, "Do you have any specific brands?"

Raymond says, "No specific brands but I like the brand 'Duni'."

Keith says, "Let's go buy some shoes and belts."

Keith brings Raymond to the 'Duni' shop.

Raymond looks at the range of clothes, shoes, and belts. "Wow, I saw some products in the magazine but these designs are so beautiful."

Keith says, "Choose 7 clothes, 7 belts, and 7 shoes."

Raymond asks, "Why 7 of each?"

Keith says, "Because each day you change 1 set. You have to wash them and reuse them. Sometimes we are outside and we have to change once we are back."

Raymond thinks maybe Keith is a clean freak.

Keith takes a coat, "We will buy 7 coats."

Keith says, "I don't wear a coat."

Raymond says, "You will need it because sometimes we will go to cold places."

Keith says, "Okay."

Raymond takes the light blue clothes.

Keith grabs the clothes from Raymond's hand.

"Light blue doesn't suit you. Take black or dark brown."

Raymond looks at Keith. "Okay."

Keith is happy because Raymond listens to him.

Raymond takes the clothes to try in the fitting room.

Keith takes some clothes and enters the same fitting room as Raymond.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

"Why are you shy? We are both men."

"But there are other vacant rooms. Why do you come inside here?"

"I want to see the new clothes you wear. Come take off your old clothes."

"Ah? What are you doing?"

Something drops off his outer clothes.

Keith bends down to pick up from the floor. "Is this yours?"

"What is this? No, not mine."

Keith does a quiet hand sign, and he takes a pen out and writes on his hand This is a voice recorder tracker.

Raymond points to the voice recorder tracker and takes the pen from Keith's hand.

Raymond writes on his hand 'What should we do now?'

Keith writes with his hand. "We will pretend we don't know, but we don't talk about important things."

Raymond nodded.

Keith points out Raymond's new clothes, "Try to wear this."

Raymond tries on the new clothes.

Keith looks at Raymond, "You look better in these clothes. Let's buy 14 different sets."

Raymond says, "It's very expensive to purchase this much."

Keith says, "7 sets I will pay as a welcome gift for you."

Raymond says, "Okay, thank you very much."

Keith says, "Let's try the shoes and belts."

Raymond says, "Okay."

Keith puts all the clothes at the cashier.

Raymond looks at the shoe section. Raymond takes a pair of shoes.

Keith says, "This looks good, come sit and try it."

Raymond wore the shoes and stood up to walk around.

Keith looks at Raymond. His face is smiling. Keith looks at a pair of shoes on the shelves. Keith takes the pair of shoes and gives them to Raymond. "Try this."

Raymond put on the shoes Keith gave him.

Keith says, "Well let's buy this."

After choosing all the shoes, Keith walks to the belt section. He takes a belt. "Try this."

Raymond takes the belt and tries it. Raymond looks in the mirror.

Keith says, "This belt looks too loose. Let's ask them to punch more holes."

Keith says, "You look skinny do you eat well?"

Raymond says, "I eat normal food."

Keith notices his tone.

Raymond says, "How are we going to carry it There are too many things"

Keith says, "They do free delivery since we purchase over $1000."

Raymond says, "That's a lot of money."

Keith says, "Don't forget it includes my orders too."

Raymond somehow felt relieved after hearing these words.

Keith uses his card to pay for all the items. "Please deliver to this address."

"Let's go for dinner."

Raymond finds himself hungry since he has never shopped for this long.

Keith says, "What do you want to eat?"

"Buffet?"

Keith laughs, "Okay, I will bring you to the best buffet restaurant."

"Wow, the spread of food."

"Not only the foods, the drinks there are many varieties."

"For 2 pax."

"Come this way, Sir. Today we have a specialty of hotpot, use these clips for ordering at that counter."

"Okay, thank you."

"We're going to take our food."

"Okay."

Raymond takes the shrimp from the food counter.

"Oh, there are no more shrimps."

Raymond says, "I can spare you some, do you want?"

"Okay, thank you."

Raymond walks away and takes some sushi, crabs, and mushroom soup. He returns to his seat.

Keith took his plate and sat. He notices someone is looking at them. Keith didn't ask Raymond anything.

Keith eats his food and takes drinks for Raymond. He notices the guy is still staring at Raymond.

Raymond says, "The food here is delicious. Do you come here often?"

Keith says, "Yes, with clients. If you like this place we can come again."

Raymond is so happy.

Keith asks, "Do you know the person sitting on the right behind me?"

Raymond looks at the person behind Keith. "Oh, that guy just now there, I spared him some of my shrimps."

Keith thinks maybe the guy is just thankful but it's weird to stare at Raymond thankfully. "Eat as much as possible, you are too thin."

Raymond nodded.

The guy was still staring at Raymond.

Keith gets up from his seat and takes some food. He notices the guy isn't at his table. Keith thinks maybe he thinks too much.

Raymond gets up and feels like going to the washroom.

Keith returns to his seat and notices Raymond isn't in his seat. He looks around, but Raymond isn't at the food and drinks counters. Keith asks around to see where Raymond went. The person sitting beside Keith said, "I saw your friend go to the washroom."

Keith says, "Thank you." He left the table and went to the washroom. But Raymond isn't in the washroom. "Where did he go?"

Raymond was walking towards the washroom when someone approached him.

"Hi, can we talk?"

Raymond says, "I know you want to thank me for the shrimp but it's nothing big."

"No, I want to be your friend. Can we talk?"

Raymond thinks maybe this person needs help or something so he agrees to follow him.

The person brings Raymond to the back of the restaurant.

"What is it you want to talk to me about?"

The person says, "I know you are innocent please don't mingle with that guy in the restaurant just now."

"What do you mean?"

"Just don't mingle with that guy. The person suddenly kisses Raymond's forehead."

"Ah? What are you doing?"

Keith hears a scream from Raymond he quickly goes to the back door of the restaurant. "Hey, are you okay? Who is that person? What happened?"

Raymond is too shocked and he says, "Nothing."

"If nothing why are you standing at the back of the restaurant? Tell me the truth."

"The guy that I spared the shrimps approached me and talked. He told me not to mingle with you."

"Oh, interesting. So are you going to listen to him?"

"Of course not! He doesn't give me a job, why must I listen to him?"

"But don't you feel scared since he just warned you?"

"He might be warning me but I am not a timid person. Why must I feel afraid? If you are in danger I can even help you."

Keith laughs in tears. "You surprise me, very good I choose the right person. You are bold enough." Keith gives a thumbs-up to Raymond.

Raymond says, "I may look thin and small but I am not weak. I can fight. I learned Muay Thai so I can defend myself. Don't worry."

"Wow, you even learn fighting skills. That is very good and it's a bonus benefit since you are in this job. Fighting cannot be avoided but it's not a daily fight. But if you learn Muay Thai why did you scream just now?"

Raymond says, "It sounds interesting job that I am having. I screamed just now because that guy kissed my forehead."

Keith says, "What? That fellow did that to you. Next time I will kick his ass."

Keith says, "Come let's return to our table to eat."

Suddenly Keith grabs Raymond's neck and kisses his forehead.

Raymond is shocked, as Keith walks into the restaurant. "Come in quick."

They enjoyed the dinner.

Keith drives to his house.

"Wow, is this your house? It's so luxurious."

"Yes, you will be staying here from now on."

Raymond says, "I feel so happy to work and stay with you."

Keith tells the servants to serve Raymond as he will be staying in the house.

Keith brings Raymond to his room on the third level. "This is your room, you can walk around the house since there is no forbidden place here. But if you need to enter my room remember to knock on my door, my room is beside yours."

Raymond says, "Okay, thank you."

Keith says, "Come I will show you the workplace."

Raymond follows Keith.

Keith walks to the second level. "This is the office."

Raymond is shocked. "This is the office? Your house is also an office?"

"Yes, why are you so shocked? It's very normal since I opened this company."

Raymond says, "You are a boss? I thought you were a manager or some high executive."

Keith says, "I am the boss, I have other staff but they don't stay here."

Raymond asks, "How many staff are there?"

There are 8 staff members. Each has their job and we work in pairs."

Raymond asks, "What is my job?"

"Your job now is to read the files and get familiar with the cases."

Raymond says, "Okay."

Raymond takes a file and opens it.

Keith sits and says, "You read for 1 hour and take some sleep. Tomorrow morning I will need you to do something."

Raymond says, "Okay."

Raymond reads the file and notices the interesting fact that now he is into investigating cases. He knows now that Keith opened the company, it's a detective company. He likes to read books about solving cases and is interested in working in this field so he is very happy.

Keith looks at the documents and types on the laptop.

After an hour had passed, Raymond went to sleep.

Keith is still working and he looks outside the window. He notices a person standing behind the tree.

Keith didn't care who was standing behind the tree. "He knows that since the day he opened this company, there will be risks, and the cases he takes are becoming increasingly interesting."
