In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts

It had only been a couple of days since they last met, but Samuel had undergone a huge transformation.

He was dressed shabbily and hadn't shaved. His beer belly added to the effect, making him look completely down and out.

The secretary couldn't believe his eyes when he came to pick him up.

"When did you get out?" Samuel glared at the secretary and then kicked him.

"Why didn't you come and rescue me after you got out? Ingrate!"

The secretary dodged his kicks, wailing, "Mr. Walker, I only just got out! I came to bail you out the moment I was released!"

Samuel's kick didn't land, and he plopped onto the floor. He panted as he looked at the road. "Where's my car?"

"I... your assets have all been taken by the loan sharks. I came here by public transport..."

Samuel was aghast. "It's all gone?"

"... it's a-all gone." The secretary did not dare to look at him.

"I still have a house..."

"Perhaps you've forgotten this, but you mortgaged your house for cash to invest in the Eastwood construction site..."

This reminder made Samuel scramble up from the ground and grab him by the collar.

"How's that piece of land? Is it still under construction? Say something!"

The secretary trembled all over.
