The eighteen-year-old boy roamed around the streets of the huge city. He passed by so many people who eyed him as if he was an outcast and he did not belong. With that, he pulled the hood on his head to cover his face. He stuffed his hands further into his pockets and walked.
The breeze not having any mercy on him as it swept his hood off his head. His ebony locks swayed with the wind and he shivered before pulling the hood back on again. It was winter and he was not warm enough, only wearing tight jeans, a t-shirt and a hoodie.
After walking out of a café that were hiring, he sighed. He had been looking for a job for months and sadly, he didn't find any. He didn't want the woman at home to struggle with feeding him when he was just relaxing. She couldn't even feed herself. She would stay hungry for some days and watched as he ate only with a smile on her face.
He felt bad, no doubt but he couldn't do anything. He tried a million times to talk to her so he could get a job but she refused, saying that he was too young. He was even lucky today. She was asleep and so he snuck out to find a job.
While walking, he suddenly bumped into someone. The other person stumbled but didn't fall as the boy grabbed his hand. He apologized and his eyes widened when he saw the suited man in front of him. He bowed and almost ran away but stopped when he took notice of his tired eyes.
"Hello sir," he bowed again. The man bowed as well and they stood for a while before the man offered to take him to a café. The boy was shocked but accepted the offer anyway.
While sipping his drink, the younger man in the suit looked at the boy.
"Do you know me?" he asked. The boy nodded.
"What did you want to talk about, sir?" the boy asked.
The man chuckled. "No need to call me sir but I am to ask of a big favor from you." The boy nodded again and the man continued.
"Would you like to be the CEO of the famous fashion company?"
The boy almost spit out his coffee at the man's question. He eyed him with innocent and wide eyes. He thought he had heard wrong but The CEO of L&M designers was willing to pass his position to a boy he barely knew.
"Don't worry this is not a prank. I actually am passing it to you," the man said as if reading his thoughts.
"But why?" the boy asked.
He watched as the CEO's eyes saddened with the simple question. The happy face suddenly became blue. He forced a smile.
"I know it's hard but please take it. It wasn't my desire to be this famous man you see here. I only wanted to be a dancer, I wanted to fulfill my dreams but you see, life isn't always easy. Please take the offer."
