You dare insult my wife?
Caroline felt nervous, seeing several eyes looking at her as though they were going to burn her up. The look of disgust was evident and she couldn't fail to see that. The way she was dressed wasn't as classy as everyone else, so she looked more like a cleaner to them.“Someone should tell me how a cleaner got into this place?” the receptionist mocked while looking at Caroline. She figured Caroline was Harrison's wife since she took her attendance but wanted to get back at him for the words he said.“Harrison” Caroline rushed towards her husband. Even though she felt embarrassed by what she was called, she seemed unaffected by it and wanted to just leave with her husband.“Did you just call my wife a cleaner?” Harrison frowned as he looked at the receptionist. Unable to hide the disgust, she leaned towards his face and yelled.“Yes, piece of trash. I won't even employ her as a cleaner even though she looked like one” she growled, but Harrison quickly clutched his nose, which made her c

A black card?
“Excuse me, I am here to get a phone” Harrison sneered, feeling irritated.“A phone? Does this place look like a joke to you? What can you afford here?” the agent replied.“He can't even buy the trash can, yet he is saying nonsense?” the other agent spoke.“I am here to buy a phone. Is this how you attend to customers?” Harrison was stunned by their sudden disgust at him.They didn't try to understand if he could afford one or try to give him a chance. They just branded him as someone who couldn't afford a thing in the shop? “Where is the customer? Who I see here is a beggar. Isn't that dollar bill okay for you? How about two or three?” the man grinned, flashing off his teeth.“Send him out of this place. You shouldn't waste your money on someone like him. Don't worry, he will come begging. He looks like he hasn't eaten for days” the other said.“How much is your salary?” Harrison asked.“Ten thousand dollars. Isn't it quite big enough to sustain your life and give you a better livin

Payback
“Hello Ramon, I have something I want you to do,” Harrison said after typing the number on the new phone and dialing it. When it got across, Ramon recognized his voice quickly.“Young master, you changed your phone?” Ramon asked in surprise.“Yes, I was humiliated in the hotel. The guards broke it”.“You mean, in sterling hotel? Your hotel? They humiliated you?”“Yes, I want the receptionist and the guards fired immediately”“Yes young master, I will have it done immediately”Harrison smiled. That would serve as a perfect payback for what they had done. He wanted to go home but then he wanted to see the looks on their faces after they would be fired. After all, he was standing on the opposite side of the hotel, so he crossed back to wait for the drama that was going to happen.——-Inside sterling hotelThe receptionist kept a smile on her face as she attended to other high-class customers. She had forgotten about what had happened before. Everything went back to normal until when the

Switch on the TV
Ring! Ring!A call came in, disturbing Rachel who was furious. She rushed towards her phone only to see it was her mom who was addressed as the grandmother of the family. Seeing her call made Rachel tense. She instantly knew something must be wrong or something must have happened.Quickly she picked up the call.“Grandmother” she called out with a smile but the tone she heard over the phone made her serious.“Have you seen the news?” The woman asked, almost as though she was yelling.“The news? I haven’t watched TV for a while, Grandmother” Rachel replied. It wasn't clear to her why grandmother was saying such things at times like this. There are other issues to attend to rather than watching TV.“You fool, switch it on now. After you have seen what I am talking about, you call me” she yelled and hung up the phone. Rachel trembled. She feared she must have done something and that would mean she would incur grandmother's wrath. “What’s it? What happened?” Stephen, who was impatiently

We were called by grandmother?
——Harrison got out of the house with his wife wearing the same bargained clothes he always does. For the past few days, he never thought about buying clothes for himself. Rather, his wife was his priority. He had wanted to get her one from the mall he bought, but the call they received came too urgent. He had no choice but to go quickly with his wife, even though he wasn’t pleased with it.Caroline was quiet by the side. She said no words.

Do you want to kill me?
Everyone was silent as Grandmother was on the phone. They knew her too well to create a disturbance when she was this serious. Her wrath always comes deadly and would affect the family's wages too greatly.“Grandmother,” Rachel said.“Switch on your laptop, it’s connected to mine. I can’t come over but will address the matter in a live video call” she said while Rachel quickly rushed towards her laptop and brought it down to the living room. She placed it on the table after opening it for everyone to see.The screen popped up and a woman in her late sixties came into view. Though she was old, her skin was still glistening like a teenager. She had a solemn look on her face, and immediately everyone bowed to greet her.“Good morning Grandmother” Everyone greeted, setting aside the hate they had towards Harrison.“Where is Linda? Why can’t I see her here” Grandmother scouted the place with her eyes but wasn’t able to find one person. She had requested for everyone to be here, yet one per

Staking fifty percent share
“Forgive me, grandmother. We were too ignorant to consider your health before raising our voices. We are sorry” Harrison spoke, startling everyone.However, Rachel, who was above them, ran out of words to say in such a situation, but Harrison was able to come up with words that seemed to have soothe grandmother. Looking at her, Rachel could see grandmother was no longer pissed as she was.Quickly she spoke to regain Grandmother's good side. “Grandmother, I am sorry my kids and son-in-law got too lousy. I will make sure it never happens again” She bowed, but grandmother looked uninterested in her and faced Harrison.Rachel fumed but had to stay quiet in the meantime. Her eyes were on Harrison the whole time, thinking of how to counter him.“Why do you think Caroline can do better?” Grandmother asked, looking at Harrison.“Compared to others, I think Caroline's method would be better. We know she is very respectful and if she can be the one to be the face of the family, then I think ste

I will get you fired
The morning arrived so fast. Linda had prepared for the important meeting she had with sterling cooperation. She made sure to dress in her finest yet in a way to seduce anyone with her looks.She was wearing an empire waist dress which cost a fortune. The side of the dress was slit a bit, exposing her thighs. A jade necklace was sitting on her neck, matching the color of her eyes. She was just too perfect for the eyes. Anyone who saw her wouldn’t help but drool.Stepping out of her room, she came across Stephen first. Though he was angry that he wasn’t the one going but her. Since she was his sister, it was better she was the one rather than Caroline.“You better don’t mess this up,” he said impatiently.“I am not like you, brother. I. DON'T. MESS. UP” She emphasized every word just to inform him she was nothing like him.Stephen couldn't help but ignore her, but then he was sure she could get it. The way she was dressed portrayed her hourglass figure. No man would say no to her charm

Expensive things
Linda walked into the elevator with the receptionist. The top floor button was smashed and they were on the move. The elevator was quite transparent, so Linda could see beyond.Her eyes were stuck on Harrison, but this time the hate in her eyes was replaced with the thought of how she was going to get him fired soon after she got the contract.Just then, she took out some powder from her bag and retouched her makeup. Her little encounter with him had made her sweat to the point that most of the markup was wearing off.The receptionist who was with her could only sigh. Though she thought if she was in Linda's shoes, she would do the same.However, the door came open, and they walked into a vast office that had so many paintings on the wall. Each cost not less than a million, leaving Linda’s mouth almost dropping to the floor.That was the first time she had been there, but she had taken a liking to the place already. All the expensive things were just her kind of thing. If only she co

I saw a whore
Linda was covered in shame as she quickly stumbled out of the office. She had never been humiliated the way she was today. All her tricks failed to work on this man when it had been working on almost everyone.She was almost in tears. The file in her hand was having no use, so she squeezed it and dropped it in the trash can before walking into the elevator. Damn it! This was her total loss. What would she tell grandmother? What would she tell her mother and brother? After all the pride she had shown to signify she wouldn't lose the job, she ended up failing even before she presented what she wanted.She had spent the whole night learning those moves and conducting a strategy that would earn them a favor from this company, yet all of it was wasted.“The pretty face is now swollen. I wonder what happened in there” Harrison came from nowhere after the elevator came open. It seemed as though he was waiting for her.Linda quickly wiped her face, so she could hide the disappointment, but h
