Payday. I could smell it. I was on my way to the nearest ATM to draw a few bucks to pay my rent and buy some food. While I tabbed in my password to my account, the conversation I had with the supposed "lawyer" still buzzed around in my head.
Really, it was silly. A wealthy uncle that I barely knew leaving me his business, fortune and estate. What a bunch of...
