chapter 3

I went straight to my house

Me : hey mum, hey dad

And I kissed them both

I went to my room

Mum : should I go tell her now?

Dad : I'm really not sure about it, why can't we just ask someone else to do it?

Mum dropped the towel in the washtub : NO! it's time for her to be responsible!  It was a very long since I've saw her do anything useful, all she does is go hang out with her friends and go to parties that I'm not even convinced with! If you're not going to tell her then I will!

My mum entered my room

I was talking to Hannah on the phone

Me : hann listen I'll call you back, bye

Me : yes?

Mum : there's something I need you to do and I won't take no for an answer! 

Me: what is it?

Mum: your dad's friend Mr. mark .. remember him?

Me: ah yea?

Mum: he's the owner and the manager of a charitable organization and he needs someone to help him with some stuff, someone he can trust! And since I know you're a smart kid and you can be trusted I told him that you can help him. It's your time to show yourself what you learned from those books you read a lot

I was pretty shocked: ah mum! What are you talking about? I can't just go help him! First: I have a life! Second: I know nothing about this! Finally: I don't have time!

Mum smiled in a teasing way : oh don't worry you'll have time! Even if you don't have you're gonna make it whether you liked it or not! And he is going to teach you everything you need to know for sure!

I started screaming : mum what are you doing, ruining my life? I don't have to do all of that, mum come on!

Anger started showing on her face, she pointed fingers and started shouting: you don't shout at your mother you hear me young lady! This is not a debatable thing! 

My dad rushed to my room : what's going on?

Mum : you start at 5 and end at 7! Discussing is OVER

And she left the room

Dad followed her and I started crying, could life get any worse? She doesn't even know how my life is to ever judge it! But at the bright side at least I'm gonna gain more time away from the girls and actually be me!

So I decided to be me this time. I wore a casual day dress, not glamorous and over! Just me. I wore a hate so no one would recognize me! I took off my lenses and didn't put a lot of makeup. I really seemed different, the different I like!

So I went down and told dad I was leaving, I didn't even bothered looking at mum!

I took the address and went straight to Mr. mark's

I entered the building .. it was really big and full of employees and visitors.

The place doesn't look bad.

I went to the reception

Me: AAA excuse me

The women: yes mam how can I help you?

Me: I'm Emily, I came to see Mr. mark?

The women: OK, just a moment please

Me: sure

The women talked on the phone: yes Mr. mark .. Emily is here to see you .. OK sure Mr. mark.

And she hang up

The women : come with me please.

I followed here, we entered the elevator and went to the last floor.

Where Mr. mark's office was, his company is really huge, it looks like those huge fancy malls. without shops!

She pointed on one of the doors : this is Mr. mark's office. Now he has a visitor, he'll let you know if he is ready.

Me: OK thank you.

So I sat on the chair waiting.

After 10 minutes.

I saw someone getting out of one of the doors.

Me: oh dear!

It was jeremy!

I can't let him see me! He probably will recognize me!

So I sat there without moving or doing anything, hoping he'll not see me!

He passed and didn't see me!

Ah thank god! Come one Mr. mark please hurry

Mr. mark came out of his office and waved goodbye to his visitor

Mark : Emily dear, come in.

I stood up and went to his office

I sat on the chair In front of his desk

Mark: how are you?

Me: I'm fine thank you, how are you?

Mark: I'm great as always

Mr. mark is a very nice man. He is 60 years old I think. His wife died and he has no children. He spends all his days at work, "charity work" he loves to help people all around the world. He is one of a kind!

Mark: I hope you enjoy working with us, it's actually fun, people here are family! No one is better than anyone, we're all equal.

I loved the way he thinks and treat people here, who else could ever do this? Most managers see their employees below them! And they're like people they own! Mr. mark treats them as if they were his real family! That's why I really loved this place! 

Mr. mark : come with me, I'll show you around

I smiled : okay.

So he started showing me around. I've learned lot of things. Like how to send stuff to people in need, like clothes, food, toys and whatever they need. And how to divide families in group to make it more easy to know what they need. After all I realized it wasn't bad working here, people are nice and it's fun.

When we were walking I saw pictures on the wall, they were people and some of them from the company, including Mr.mark! it looked like they were in hospitals and companies.

Me: Mr. mark!

Mark: yes dear?

Me: what are those? " while pointing at the pictures"

Mark: oh! Those are my favorite! "he winked"

He continued: every Saturday we do charity in a different way! We go to orphans, handicapped people, and poor ones too! We go play with them, visit them and make parties! To make them have fun. It's something out of the company work.

Me: can I join you?

Mr. mark: yes of course dear!

I smiled: thank you Mr. mark for the lovely day, but I need to go home now. See you tomorrow.

Mr. mark: goodbye dear.
