Your cellphone beeped, you were startled a bit by the suddenness of and the loud tone, you inspected the number of the caller showing on the screen but it was unknown, you didn't recognize the number shown to you, and normally; any number you didn't recognize, it is a number you readily ignore but you don't know who could it be, it could be your 'former' boss or could be Reggie or any other from your former workplace and frankly, you didn't felt like talking anymore especially after the hat little call from him.. but it could be important.

You groaned and pressed the button to answer.

"Yeah?"

~Hello.~ Answered an voice you didn't really recognize it althought was distinctly of that of a woman's. ~Am I talking with Anon?~

"Yes..." Ok that was creepy, you didn't remember giving your name to anybody,... unless the list of those fired - which includes cell number - became public?

~Great!~ You heard the voice exclaim with enthusiasm ~I'm representative of a company that is in process of hiring and accepting new appliances, we recently got a hold of news that you - among many others - were recently laid off due to the result of an gross lawsuit involving your former job and the incompetence and corruption of the latter's executives, I'm pleased to inform you that we are extending our hands to you in our new line of job we have available for people like you! As recently we were a Equestrian-only company but not anymore!~

Equestrian is that has to do with horses? What? No, doesn't matter. All of this seemed suspicious, it feels rather convenient that as soon you were informed to be fired by one of your colleagues, suddenly you get an call from this... company looking to hire you. You wanted to say that you weren't interested but you were now pressed, you did need the money to continue living under a roof or else you'll be evicted and forced to live on the streets and you sint wanted that.

... You really didn't had much option, isn't it?

~Hello?~

"I'm still here, just thinking... Say... what kind of field of work I'm meant to do if I do accept?" You wondered as well probed for any sign of legitimacy.

~I'm afraid that I'm not allowed to divulge that information...~ Ok, that was a red flag ~...Althought it's closely related...~
