prestroke- my working life (3)

en-route back to malaysia, i detoured to cardiff, mainly to tie-up a loose- end, i had dinner with charlotte thomas, my flame in cardiff, mainly the dinner was to say goodbye for the last time, she came in her great black dress that we bought together in cardiff,everything was amicable, things couldn't work between us because of the various social schasm, am i relief when she told me that she had move on, phew!!!. back in malaysia, i was approached by a headhunter, MS, SUPPOSEDLY TO WORK FOR A RICH MAN IN THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY, i attended the interview in wisma stephens and for the first time met mr lorrain esme osman(leo), i then submitted my resignation in mmc and joined mr leo, the offer was too good, a salary jump of rm2,ooo/-per month plus a saab turbo car thrown-in plus other perks, travelling, petrol, entertainment and others. jadi-apa nak fikir, i jumped in with both eyes closed and left 2 years later after having tasted the various intoxicants then available in kl to the high-flier businessman, emerged although unscathed but had to carry a baggage for years,i.e. being a guarantor to one of leo's deals, in ccb. man, this leo has loans left,right and center, it was so easy for him, being a priominent banker himself. he finally attained fame in later life as the longest remand prisoner ever in the british legal system and i managed to escape from the jaws of bankruptcy many years later, probably in 1999 if i remember correctly.
