Zee's POV.

I sigh , rubbing my temple as I look at my laptop , trying to look for a job for the thousandth of times. I soon hear the doorbell making me close my laptop.

"Honey ! Zee ! Could you get the door !" Called Mae from the kitchen. I placed my laptop aside , getting up before walking towards the door.

I unlocked the door , opening it and soon froze seeing someone familiar. He chuckled softly , smiling slightly.

"It's been a long time .. friend .." he said.

"Max .." I said making him smile. I then took a step closer , giving him a bro hug. I pat his back as he did the same.

"So .. how are you ?" Asked Max.

"Great I guess , it's good to be back .." I said as he smiled slightly.

"8 years in there must have felt like 800 years .." he chuckled making me smile slightly.

"So .. when did you get out ?" I asked.

"2 years before you ..." he answered making me nod.

"After I got out .. I went straight back to my father's house ... and then I went straight to your mom .." he said.

"When I first came to see her , all she asked me was whether you're okay in there .." he continued as I fiddled with my ring.

"I just told her we were in different prisons .. and that the last time I saw you was back in the court .." he said as I nod.

"Your mom was devastated .." He said.

"I know .." I said , sighing.

"Thank you man .. for taking care of my mom for that two years .." I said as he pat my shoulder.

"You know I got your back .." he said.

"I am sorry for being an ass before .. to the point where you was also pulled into prison .." I said making him chuckle.

"You're my best friend .. I was an ass before too .. let's just call it even .." he said making me nod.

"So .. now that you're back .. what are you planning to do ?" He asked.

"I guess get a job .. get some money .. to take care of my mom .." I said.

"But .. I am slowly giving up .. I mean who wants a ex convict as their worker ?" I said , sighing.

"Look , we can't just give up am I right ?" He asked.

"I am going to help you get a job .." he said as I chuckled , nodding.

- 3 hours later -

"Nothing." I said , slamming my head on the table.

"I told you , no one wants a ex-convict." I said , sighing as Max look at his Ipad.

"There has to be a job that has no requirements." He said as I sigh , lighting up my cigarette.

"Fuck it. It's hopeless. I can never get a job." I said , blowing out the smoke as I look out the window.

"Are you sure ?" He asked making me nod.

"It seems like this fashion designer is finding for a care taker to take care of her son." He said making me frown , turning around slowly.

"And you won't believe how much is the pay." He said as I walked over to him after putting my cigarette out. I look at his Ipad screen.

"The pay is about 3.5k ..." he said making me grab the Ipad from him to take a closer look.
