“Yes, sir. I am… Matthias Claude.”The unassuming delivery guy checked the caller’s phone number once more and like what he saw at first, it’s an unregistered caller.“Inheritance?” he repeated to clarify if he heard him right.“Yes? What are you saying, inheritance? Do you take me for a fool?… Try your joke elsewhere.”Outside the tall Cerena Hotel, Matthias hung up the phone angrily and blocked the calling number after hearing the caller's exaggerated deception.He looked around and saw the high-rise buildings which made him look like a small man.Matthias chuckled at the ridiculousness that the man said. How ridiculous it really is! A man told him that he's going to inherit trillions of industries!Is that even possible for an orphan like him? He’s not even inside any drama.Laughing, Matthias concludes that it’s just another scamming system to take money from other people like himself. But what can they get from a poor college-sophomore like him who doesn’t even have a decent am

Matthias stared for a long time on his trembling hands.He can still feel a bit of what he touched earlier. He needs to apologize for that girl that he accidentally touched but on a second note, will he see her again, right in this huge building?Frustrated, he simply glared at his reflection on the elevator’s wall and sighed. Ah! Focus, Matthias. He scolded himself.Then, ding!The elevator opened exactly at the 99th floor. Other than him, no one else used the lift so the tightening in his chest got worse from the unknown feeling that’s in between nervousness and anticipation of what’s coming next. But alas, he’s here. There’s no way he can turn back now.The lift opens and what welcomes him is a spacious and glamorous office filled with expensive items from furniture to the small trinkets that seem like art pieces. Hearing the door open, the man sitting comfortably on his chair glanced at the lift to see who came. Seeing Matthias face, he immediately rose from his seat and gre

Because of Cheska’s invitation, Matthias couldn't focus on the game at all and made several fouls. What’s worse is that if it is Jared committing a foul, it wasn’t ruled as foul at all.The practice game inside the class ended like a wind at Matthias’ loss, because of this, the winning team led by Jared did not stop commenting on how wussy he is. Aira is also proud about this and can’t stop smiling at him, showing Matthias that he’s clearly a loser.Cheerleaders on the other side, supporting Jared’s team also joined the taunting, making Matthias look more miserable.“Nice game, guys. Why don’t we have fun and have a barbecue party today as a reward to ourselves?” Cheska suggested. Everyone except Matthias’ friends and Cheska looked at each other with a grin in their eyes. Of course, Matthias, the poor boy, will surely ditch the party and run at his rat hole again. “Yes, why don’t we do it?,” Aira agreed as her smile widened with malice towards Matthias. “Okay, let’s count who wi

No one spoke at the dining table but each of them tried to enjoy the sumptuous meal in front of them. But one prayer is common for every person sitting on the table except for Matthias.Everyone hope that Matthias will keep his word and pay half of the meal’s price, else they will be left with no more allowance for the rest of the year. The atmosphere remained like that until the staff placed desserts on the table that changed everyone’s tightened stomach in an instant.Well, except for two people – Aira and Jared, who’ll be paying half of the bills of today’s party.Not waiting for his pig-classmates to finish, Jared put down his fork.Then he, contemplated how he’ll approach his father to lend him some money today. Aira made a side look at his boyfriend and to his ex-boyfriend, Matthias. She’s thinking where did Matthias take the confidence to order a gold menu for all of them? Just a day ago, he’s nothing but a delivery man living in a worn down apartment.But he’s here now an

Matthias went back to his apartment with a group of porters carrying all the suits that he bought out of frenzy. “Is this really the place? Isn’t he rich?” one of them asked another since Matthias doesn’t seem like the person who will be living in that rundown apartment after spending so much for clothing.“Hshh… shut your mouth. I heard about it before. You know, conglomerate heirs who live in slums to experience life in poverty,” his co-worker told him.When all of the things were successfully placed inside Matthias' room, Matthias paid the porters using the same black card and gave them a huge tip.“Are you doing an online business now? Glad that you found some money for capital,” Matthias’ neighbor told him when all of the porters were gone.She’s been watching since earlier but Matthias looks so busy telling the porters what to do next.“You’re there,” Matthias greeted the girl that’s standing by her own door.“Hm,” the girl nodded. “I was thinking why is it noisy again and saw
