Alexander placed a hand on his stomach and chuckled.“I could eat a whole cow from how much this thing is grumbling,” Alexander said and his stomach grumbled even more ferociously.He covered his mouth and yawned, which was a sign of both fatigue and hunger.“I was so focused on reading that I didn’t even notice how much time had passed and now I’m super hungry because of it,” he said as he patted his stomach like it was a child.The reason why he was so hungry was because the act of reading causes brain activity to be more than usual, thereby increasing glucose usage, even though nothing strenuous was carried out.The usage of glucose leads to a drop in blood sugar levels which in turn makes someone more hungry than their usual capacity.This was why people oftentimes have a little snack to munch on when studying. “Now that I think about it, I’m not sure if I’ve ever focused that much on reading a book before. Is hyper-focus an unintended side effect of increasing my intellect and I

Alexander finished drying his body then he hung the towel back on the rack and went out of the bathroom, wearing the hotel’s robe.With the clothes he had worn earlier that morning already dry-cleaned, Alexander now had something to wear that was different from the outfit he had just taken off to take his shower. Although he was still going to wear the same clothes three times in the space of a day and some hours, the fact that time they were washed and dried made it not feel like he was repeating anything to him.The story might be different for someone like Tessa, who had seen him leave to go to the Del Monte Royal Casino, come back, leave to do his daily outing, and now is wearing the same outfit again, but what he thought and felt was what mattered, to Alexander at least.Alexander went to the closet, opened it, and took out the clothes hanger that had been used to hand the bag/packaging his dry cleaning.He returned to the bed and removed the clothes from the bag, starting from

The moment Alexander took his first bite, he realized just how famished he was and from that moment he dug his spoon into the food, he didn’t stop until he was done. It wasn’t only because of the reading he had done but the amount at which his body had grown within the past two days had caused his body’s natural caloric consumption levels to increase significantly and anytime he had food in front of him, he just had to stuff his face until he was satiated.Unfortunately, the food he ordered wasn’t enough to do that. Looking at his almost empty plate, Alexander thought ‘No wonder I was able to finish all those many dishes Mr. Foster gave me yesterday when every experience I’ve had eating told me that it was too much.’Alexander placed his hand on his stomach and though it wasn’t as much as before because he was currently eating, he could still feel the rumblings of hunger.‘At this rate, I’m going to have to order room service just to curb this hunger’ he grimaced.Alexander clenched

As expected of the Sam’s Hotel chefs, every meal Alexander ate was very delicious and he devoured them one after the other.Because of the exam he had the next day, Alexander couldn’t drink anything with alcohol in it, and that also included wine which was unfortunate because the meals would have been elevated with the combination of a tasty glass of wine.Alexander stuck with juice and water.He finished eating in a third of the time the room service waiter had said he would come to take what was left of the order which meant that Alexander finished everything on the tray in fifteen minutes. “Now, that was delicious.” He said then patted his overly tight stomach.“I hope that was enough to replenish all the nutrients my body had used to grow this big and strong ‘cause I definitely do not want to eat like that ever again,” Alexander said then took a deep breath and sighed.Because Alexander felt extremely stuffed, he leaned back and rested on the chair then he started taking in the v

[“Long story short, sorry for not answering when you called”] Victoria said.Alexander chuckled.“It’s no problem. Anyway, I realize that the reason why you called is to talk about the promise of donation I made yesterday, right?” Alexander asked.Suddenly, he heard Victoria laugh.[“Not at all, Mr. Alexander”]Alexander who was taken aback by being wrong jolted.“It wasn’t? I’m sorry but if that wasn’t the case then what other business could we have with one another—?” Alexander asked but she cut him off.[“The reason I called is because I wanted to wish you a wonderful goodnight and hope you sleep well”] “Oh,” Alexander grimaced “Oh. That was unexpected”[“Don’t get me wrong, I would still like to remind you of the promise you made but I trust that you will keep your word. From what you said, it wasn’t intentional that you didn’t send the money yesterday, or else you wouldn’t even have called back when you saw that you missed my call”]Victoria was right. Alexander had nothing to g
