"Excuse me, miss. May I ask something?", Alex requested.
"Huh… ahh… yes. What is it?", the woman asked while standing beside him.
"Is there any place that I can withdraw some money from ATM?", Alex asked.
"Yes, there are but I think it is quite far from here.", she replied.
"Are you free now, miss?", Alex asked.
"Ahh… but…", she stuttered.
"I'll pay Rs 1000 for taking me there.", Alex proposed.
"It's not about the money.", she replied.
"How about Rs 2000?", Alex smirked.
"Fine. Let's go.", she replied.
They stopped a small vehicle and get on it. She asked the driver to take them to the place.
"My name is Alex. What's your name?", Alex asked.
"My name is Suman. Nice to meet you.", she replied.
"Nice to meet you. What do you do Suman?", Alex asked.
"Me? I am studying and searching for a job.", she replied.
"Oh. So what work do you want to do?", Alex asked.
"Ahh… that I don't know. Maybe programmer but for now anything.", Suman replied.
"Why?", Alex asked.
"I have no job and no money so…", Suman replied.
"Ahh… how about your family then?", Alex asked.
"I have a father, he works at a factory. My mother is a housewife. That's all.", Suman replied.
"How is your financial situation then?", Alex asked.
"We are barely surviving that's all. Let's get off here.", Sumon replied.
They got off the vehicle and started to walk. Alex followed her and soon reached the place where 4/5 ATMs were there. He quickly located one that he can use his card and tried to withdraw as much as he can. He could only withdraw Rs 500,000 at a time. He was a little disappointed. He took the money and put it in a bag. He had some US dollars so he thought of a solution.
"I withdrew the money but I want more. Is there any person that can exchange US dollars without identification?", Alex asked while giving her Rs 2000 at the same time.
"I don't know about that. We have to ask around.", Suman replied.
"Is that so? If we can exchange the money, we will open a software company. You will be the first employee of the company.", Alex teased.
"Are you for real?", Suman asked.
"For sure. I will let you hire other people too.", Alex proposed.
"Then what will your company do?", Suman asked.
"Make software, make websites and many things.", Alex replied.
"That will take lots of money. Do you have company now?", Suman asked.
"Money is not a problem and I don't have company. We will open one.", Alex replied.
"That seems suspicious. Are you joking with me.", Suman asked.
"Not at all. How much salary do you want?", Alex teased.
"My salary? If that's the case I want 60 thousand per month.", Suman replied.
"Deal. I'll give you an advance as soon as you exchange the dollar.", Alex said.
"Ahh… really.", Suman got surprised.
"Really. Let's go eat something in a nice restaurant. Do you know the way?", Alex asked.
"Ahh… I know one.", she replied and they started to head towards the restaurant. It was a small but nice restaurant. He drank coffee with some snacks and she drank cold drinks with some burgers. While they were eating, Suman called for some people to find out about the exchange of the US dollar.
"Do you know any place to open an office?", Alex asked.
"What kind of place do you want?", she asked.
"The place should have good internet, electricity and water supply. If possible, the whole building should be ours and location doesn't matter.", Alex suggested.
"Ahh… we have to search for that kind of place. I'll do it for you.", she replied.
"Ok. If you cannot find it, do not worry about it. We will just buy land and open an office near the land by renting and opening an office as well as constructing our own office. Is that alright?", Alex suggested.
"That is good too. We will do that if we have to.", she agreed.
"That's good. I don't have a place to sleep now. Is there any place that I can rent or book?", he asked.
"I have one place in mind. Since you want to open an office that seems to be perfect. But let's go to the dollar exchange place first. I have contacted my friend, she knows a place to do it.", she said.
