Felix who was still listening to their conversation came out and set the dining table for breakfast as they also walked to the dining too.They sat down and started having their simple breakfast of Tea and toasted bread topped with butter. Too simple that Meq didn't like it at all. She wanted to wine and dine on a full table filled with varieties of breakfast ideas.That was why, come what may, she must attend the Grand Ball and see if she could hook up with a wealthy man– handsome or ugly, young or old. She didn't care.So, she brought up the topic again. "What do you say about me being your plus-one, big bro?""Oh, that. Let's see if there's room for plus one. If there is, I'll surely take you with me... But, make sure to clear your schedule," Maxim replied.Meq squealed like a kid instantly, "Thanks a whole lot big bro! Of course, be rest assured that there's nothing I'm gonna do on that day! I'm as free as a bird!" The next second, Maxim said something that darkened her bright ex

"Are you talking to me?" Felix lowered a brow and raised the other one."Nah, I'm talking to that showcase over there. Of course I'm talking to you, who else is here apart from me and you? I'll repeat myself, leave that area or else I might have the security do so!"A lady, dressed in the same uniform as the salesboy but having a different tag on her shirt, walked past them but stopped and looked back. She sensed the animosity brewing up between them and took interest."Hey Derek, what's going on here?" She asked and shot a side glance at Felix. "Thanks goodness you're here, Glydel. Can you imagine? Just take a look at this man here, have you ever seen any customer dressing like this in the shop? No, right? Yet he keeps staring and ogling at all the wristwatches in the shop! Now, he's even acting like he can buy that $60,000 wristwatch!" Derek, the salesboy huffed like a teenager. That was how Felix saw him to be— a short-sighted teenager.Hearing Derek's rant, the lady, Glydel, nod

The rest also nodded in agreement and murmured to each other for him to pay.Felix recognized the voice to be the salesgirl from the lower floor. He couldn't wait to teach her a grave lesson of her misused life.The owner scoffed. "You heard them right? It's time for payment. Remember our bet, prove yourself." " I never take back my promise. You should keep yours, " Felix replied. They went to the counter, still being very careful not to reveal his face. Felix brought out a black card and threw it on the desk.They were sounds of gasps and elongated "huh!", repeating from all over the floor. How did he get such a card? From where? Or was it fake? It's just that it looked too good to be a fake.Hurriedly, the cashier at the counter took the black card and inserted it then pressed the numbers "$85,400,000" on the machine. Almost immediately, the exact same amount was withdrawn from the card. Looking up to see Felix's face, the cashier shook in horror. "It is true!" He shouted and bow

"I've never heard of such case before! That only happens when you've been recruited in a top position or you've done a really good deed for the company, religiously follow it's rules, reached your limit of promotion and earned a medal. On the contrary, Felix, here, is just a newcomer that recently became a certified worker in the department. Not even our H.O.D had gotten a 'gift' from the company... I wonder what they saw in you to gift you a car, can you even fund the maintenance and care for the car? Lowlife."Evie mouthed in a huff and rolled her eyes, returning her focus to the work on her desk. Thinking more about it will only make her throw up."I guess I just got real lucky," Felix said to no one in particular. But they took it to heart and glared daggers at him, each mumbling a few angry words to each other.Felix overlooked them and focused on his work. After another nanosecond, Evie sparked up with a beaming smile on her makeup’d face."Guys, guys, guys have y'all heard abou

"I love you dad." Felix said."I love you too, son." He replied and they hugged each other tightly and passionately. Withdrawing from the hug, Felix first said, "So, happy birthday once again, wish you many more years ahead and... And... Oops I guess I forgot my script. But we'll suspend every other thing for later in the night after the party. And I wanna say sorry for switching off my phone throughout yesterday. I was just too busy to receive calls that I forgot about you. I still need some clarifications on the project you want me to sign. Can we discuss that now?""Sure son. It's all about the latest skyscraper I'm planning to build. Of course you know we need high-quality materials and I would have naturally hired foreigners but this time, I want to test the potentials of our city's construction companies. I decided to put forth a challenge and pick the best of the best but it's now hard for me to select out of the top 50. And, that's where you come in. Being the future leader o
