1. I will pay off the mortgage.
2. I will pay all living expenses (utilities, gas, phone, groceries, etc.)
3. Mom, Dad you can get new cars if you like.
4. I will eventually pay for Avigdor's tuition at a college of his choice.
5. Avigdor can get a car when he becomes legally able to drive.
For a while, I would like for us to try and continue to lead a middle class life
style without attracting too much attention. What do you say?"
"My goodness, Ronit. I always knew that you are much brighter than anyone around
us, but this is a surprise." said her Dad.
"You sound so grown-up," said her Mom "does this mean that we are losing you?"
"No, Mom I just have to figure out some things for myself, but I am still your
little girl".
"Well then, group hug," said her Mom with teary eyes.
They hugged and her Dad said:
"I think this hug should serve as a stamp of approval. I will take off from work
on Monday and I will take care of all the paper work".
On Monday instead of going to school, Ronit called Uber and got a car that took
her to the Cohen Invesments offices. The driver was very friendly and she
managed to learn that he was currently unemployed and he was driving for Uber to
try and make ends meet. Ronit convinced him to come up to the office with her
and she made him wait in the cafeteria for ten minutes while she went to talk to
Ms. Rodriguez. After that she took him to Ms. Rodriguez's office. She offered
him a job as the company chauffeur, which he accepted when he heard the generous
salary offer.
Ronit got Saladin (the chauffeur) to drive her to the beach and she got ice
creams for both of them.
"Aren't you supposed to be in school?" he asked.
"Not since my ninth birthday this past Saturday. I think from now on, I will
call it Independence Day". |
