His dad and mine were best friends working at the Alpha's Cement factory, both from Glowen Pack. His dad was a junior staff while my dad was the sectional manager. We were living well but so far they have been struggling. Sometimes I wondered why dad didn't lend a helping hand.
Sometimes ago, Louis complained to me of the huge debt his dad was into. I couldn't help but feel pity, wondering how he was gonna pay all that money and the loan sharks were threatening to send him to jail. He had only about two months when his salary wasn't even something compared to what he owed.
Luckily, he stumbled upon some secret codes to a lottery he registered for. He told no one but my dad since he trusted him so much. The amount he was going to win was a million dollars, he expressed so much joy saying this win will solve his problem and also help him live a better life.
“I wouldn't forget you when I get the money,” Louis told me he said this.
