CHAPTER 31
The lady’s dress, in a subtle shade of blue or gray, exuded authority and competence while still maintaining elegance. As she stormed into the hospital with guards by her side, her attire commanded attention, making a powerful impression on everyone around. “It’s her. The manager! She’s like a goddess!” “Is she here to save us? My daughter is dying!” “She doesn’t look bothered. I hope she does something quick before I loose my dear wife!” The Nurse on the reception desk quickly lowered her head and greeted her madam with so much respect that her hands were shaking. Other staff also bowed to greet her. Miss Lilly, the manager of Lawson is known to be a rude and aggressive woman. She was a no nonsense woman and was far from kind. She treats her staff rudely and orders them around like they are slaves. But despite her ill manners, she tries to remain calm and respectful with her clients because bad reports from the hospital will damage her reputation and she might end up lo

CHAPTER 32
“I said…!” The man in the suit roared with so much anger. As he stood just in front of the door, his strong presence was felt to the ends of the reception area. He wasn’t alone. Over 9 guards also strapped in suits were stationed beside him. These guards were so muscular that their biceps and abs were screaming aloud, wanting to rip through their dresses. Everyone turned to Lady Lily to see her reaction. Her reaction shook everyone right off their feet. “Is she kneeling down?” “No! She’s bowing. Why’s that? How’s that possible?” “Who’s this man?!” One by one, all the other staffs in the building stopped whatever they were doing and knelt down before the man in the suit. Even the Nurse. The only people who didn’t get on their knees were the patients and other people who had little or knowledge of the man in the suit. Another person who didn’t kneel was Nathan. Nathan was far from kneeling down. In fact, he was shocked. The powerful man in suit ignored everyone and as so

Everyone gasped in extreme shock. Their mouths were literally wide open. Lady Lily walked up to Fred, making sure she kept a good distance. “Um.. master Fred, I’m sure there is a mixup here, some sort of misunderstanding! Um you see, this young man is just a regular customer and I’m sure he probably only had his appearance and nothing else!” Lily said, shaking. Fred turned to Nathan. “Young master, how do you intend to punish this insolence? Your wish is my command, sir!” Fred said humbly, making everyone even more confused. “Did he just bow before that boy?” “What’s going on!” Nathan then cleared his throat. He already knew just what he wanted and today he would teach everyone around him a lesson. Especially the nurses and doctors who were partial. But most of all, he would make Lily pay! “Tonight, Lily loses her job and must be replaced by a better manager. Fire her! And fire this ill mannered receptionist behind me. The hospital is short of employees. I want as many

CHAPTER 34
“What?!” Nathan asked in astonishment. He tried to hide his surprise, but it was evident that he was really taken aback. “Tell me, Fred. Just how rich am I?” Nathan settled down to think about the possibility of being so rich that almost every company belongs to him. But this was beyond imagination. It was all real. It wasn’t an illusion or some type of trans. He wasn’t dreaming. Everything was real. “Let’s just say you won’t be able to imagine it, young master. This is just one of your many Estates across London!” Fred said and smiled at the young man. He was getting fond of him and admired his humility. Soon, the convoy stopped at a duplex, but it wasn’t a house. It was more of a company. They stepped down and already standing there in front of their parked car was a woman, a man and a few other neatly dressed individuals. As soon as Fred and Nathan stepped down, they lowered their heads to show their respect. “Hey Ann! How was the flood here? It seems it didn’t get

CHAPTER 35
Ann was excited hearing that expression come from Nathan. She found satisfaction knowing that Nathan loved the apartment. The building was heaven on earth. The sitting room was an excellently constructed space with sleek, modern furnishings and tasteful decor. The walls were adorned with vibrant paintings and elegant sculptures, adding a touch of sophistication to the space. Plush sofas and armchairs beckoned invitingly, promising comfort and relaxation after a long day from school. It was breathtaking. The sitting room flowed seamlessly into the dining area, where a gleaming table surrounded by cushioned chairs awaited. A crystal chandelier hung overhead, casting a warm glow over the room and adding a touch of glamour to the space. That was the type of dining experience where each bite of food was like a taste of elegance. Ann walked Nathan to the kitchen. That was another wonder to behold. The kitchen was a chef's dream, equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and ample

CHAPTER 36
The clock struck 7:00 am. Nathan's eyes gently opened. What a night. He was awake but had no yearning to get up. He slept like a baby. The bed was truly a real time automatic massager. Nathan took his phone and went to his Google photos. He began looking at pictures that he and Amanda had taken many years back. Memories were flooding in. For the record, Nathan really thought she was the one. She was the only person who had ever given him so much attention and care. No one else cares about her. One time, Amanda even stood up for Nathan when he was about to be bullied by some bad guys. This incident happened at high school. Nathan had known Amanda for many many years. The first time he set his eyes on the pretty soul, he was quickly drawn to her and he was determined to talk to her. But he never did. He was too empty to make a move. His mental health was in danger, his financial health was deteriorating. Meeting a pretty queen like Amanda would just be a quicker way of fina

CHAPTER 37
School today was as expected. Busy! Students were talking about the flood that happened last night. But most importantly, they talked about the Mr. Humble Bee who took April Freman from a mermaid to a marqueen. It was terrific. Nathan simply walked gently to his class. His friends Marcus and Neil ran up to him and pulled him aside. “Hey dude.” Marcus began. “What’s up with you lately? We don’t hang out often, you’re more cold than before, and yes, you literally bought a necklace worth $1.7 Million and gave it all out to your ex! What’s going on bro? You’re hiding things from us!” Nathan sighed. Truly he hasn’t been so close to his friends lately. Being the head of a trillion dollar empire was no small feat. As a matter of fact, this was only the beginning. But no matter what happened, Nathan could not afford to say a word about his wealth to anyone. Not a single soul. At least not yet. “Um.. look guys, after the breakup between Amanda and I, I just thought that I should fix

CHAPTER 38
Everywhere went dead silent for about a minute or half. And then, like a pin suddenly touching a balloon filled with water, everyone burst into fists of heavy laughter. “Omfg! Who knew Nathan had such lines?” “Holy cow. Nathan just slapped Dave on his cheeks!” “What is he even thinking? That he can challenge Dave? He must be crazy!” “Fuck! So much confidence for a dude who couldn’t even afford a proper gift on Amanda’s birthday.” “But I ain’t gon lie, I never knew Nate got steez. He literally roasted Dave.” “Accept the challenge Dave. It would be fun to see him walk out of the hall with shame written all over his face.” Dave was angry, but at the same time, he was happy to know that people still believed in him and his wealth. “I accept your challenge, church rat! I can’t wait to see the tears on your face as you return back home in shame! David blurted. The heated conversation soon ended and Nathan walked away quietly. Marcus and Neil were both silent, having nothing

CHAPTER 39
Ann had mixed reactions seeing Nathan’s call on her phone. She was excited, but at the same time, she was scared. Has something bad happened? Was she in trouble? Or perhaps his apartment has some issues? Ignoring those thoughts, she went ahead and picked up the phone before she would make the mistake of keeping the CEO waiting. “Hello, sir Reed. Greetings to you. I hope you are having a lovely day?” she asked thoughtlessly. “Ann, what is lovely about the day when you can’t give proper orientation to your security men on how to treat strangers?” Nathan asked furiously, but his voice was calm and stoic. Ann’s heart leapt to her chest. What had gone wrong? What did the security men do? “I'll be right with you in no time, Sir Reed” Ann said and quickly dashed out of her office to address the issue she knew nothing about. All she knew was that at this point, anything that would make sir Reed to be this furious would not be a light matter to handle. It could be a death sentence.

CHAPTER 40
April ended the call and adjusted her sitting position quickly. She heaved a nervous sigh. Something was off. Why was Mr. Humble Bunny stepping down from a taxi? He didn’t have a car? He is supposed to. A person who spent thousands of dollars on votes should definitely be able to purchase a car. But April ignored it. It didn’t matter. What mattered was that she would finally be able to see the person who elevated her and thank this man so much. Just then, a young, tall guy on an elegant suit stepped into D Royals eat out. It was already dawn and the lights in the eatout were not exactly bright enough, but April could vividly recall where she had seen this suit. Aha! Yes! She was working on a fashion project where she was asked to list the top 10 most expensive dresses for men and for ladies. She went online and casually wrote down their names because purchasing just one of those dresses was a mere fantasy and would cost her a fortune to get. She might need to work for 3 years
