176: WE COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER

WE COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER

"Oh… is that so? Thank you for being honest but we cannot hire people who get into fights easily, Mr. Richards. Thank you for coming." John Howard immediately dismissed the man. But the man did not listen instead he kneeled in desperation1

"Please sir, I beg you. I have a daughter and we needed money because we're just new here in the city and our money slowly runs out and I got nowhere to go. Please sir, I beg you, please hire me. I promise I won't do any harm to your place and if you see even a slight misbehaviour from me you can automatically fire me."

John Howard stared at the man, he narrowed his eyes and his gaze is piercing through him, testing the man who begs. Orlie Richards showed sincerity as he spoke and John could feel it.

John Howard sighed.

"If it happens that your co-worker complains about you, then you should voluntarily exit my company and never come back. Am I making myself clear, Mr. Richards?"

"Crystal clear, sir… thank you so much for this chance. I won't fail you."

"Go to Mr. McNaught and give this to him…" he scribbled a note on his resume, placed it in a folder and handed it to him.

Orlie Richards received the folder, stood up and said "Thank you so much again, sir…" he bowed his head before he left the room.

When he was outside, he paused and closed his eyes, "Kylie will be very happy when she knows I already have a job." A faint smile plastered on his lips when he remembered his daughter.

Immediately he looked for Mr. McNaught and handed him the papers and he was assigned to do some yard works.

Clark was left at his grandparents Clint and Helen's house to spend time with them while his parents were preparing for their interview. He's been waiting the whole day to watch his mom and dad in TV. He keeps on checking his grandma if it's already aired.

When his grandma Helen announced that it already started and immediately he sat between his grandparents and waited for his parents to appear. The child kept on clapping his hands as he watched them.

"Grandma, Grandpa, my mommy is so beautiful on TV right? And daddy is just so-so…" the grandparents laughed.

"Why daddy's just a so-so?" Helen asked.

The child pouted. "Because daddy didn't bring me with them. He said that it's not for kids…"

"Yes, your daddy is right, Clark…" Clint added.

"And daddy also said that he wanted to spend time with my mom more often now… I miss my mom, Grandma…" Helen chuckled.

"Oh poor boy… but how can they work on with your baby sister if you're always around…?" Helen heard of its tale during the wedding reception that makes them laughed so hard.

"Oh… until when?" the innocent child asked.

"Well, until the baby sis is formed…"

"They should do it sooner so that I can have a 'me time' with mom…" the grandparents looked at each with amusement.

"But then she came unannounced and we met because it was the right time and at the right place." Clifford wholeheartedly declared.

"Oh! That is very beautiful…! Do you believe in love at first sight, Mr. Briggs?"

"Nope. I don't… when I first saw her I was attracted to her, but just a simple admiration not love. To my surprise, it developed to something unrecognizable for me at first but as we work together and then I saw who she really is, with no pretence, that's when I came realize that I needed her in my life simply because I love her."

"Oh yeah, you're right…" Ingrid suddenly comes out with her realization. "… we really complement each other."

"That's the right term complement. My weakness is her strength, while her weakness is my strength. Well, marriage is partnership it is to help build each other up rather than tear each other down. And of course, our son Clark is the one who really bridged the gap…" Clifford added.

Aron then moves his gaze to the camera.

"Listen people I think we now have the perfect example of what destiny really means. Two people with different outlook in life but in the end they met. Because of this, I came to realize that love should not be forced or planned, let it flow naturally because love that is not forced is much beautiful if it blooms at the right time. I know many single men and women are watching now, please do not awaken love until the time is right."

He moves his gaze back to the couple.

"Mr and Mrs Briggs… I couldn't thank you enough for being here in my show. I've got plenty to ask but then it's time. How we wish there will be a part two for this interview with Clark…" he hopefully said.

"We'll never know, Mr. Cutter. It's our pleasure." Clifford then shakes hands with the host.

After Aron shared his final thoughts, suddenly the monitor behind them showed Clifford's picture kissing a woman in public with a caption:

CEO BRIGGS KISSING VANESSA REILEY IN VEANCO?

Up to that time both of Clifford and Vanessa's faces were blurred but now, it's revealed. The photo on the left shows distant angle while the photo on the right shows a close up angle.

Aron Cutter's face went serious.
