Alex was running against time as he rushed towards the boys’s dormitory. The doctor made it clear that his lil sister's condition had gotten critical, and at least a million was needed to begin with the operation. Alex couldn't come up with such an amount of money, on such a notice. Even the salary from his part-time job couldn't pay that amount, even if he worked for two years. He believed that the only person that could assist him with some funds was his best friend, Blake,who was from a third class rich family. He had been trying to reach Blake through the phone, but Blake wasn't picking up his calls, nor replying to his messages, so Alex had no choice but to run as fast as he could, to school, and then to Blake's personal dorm apartment. He quickly passed by the first dorm building which was made up of large single rooms which contained at least two students with poor backgrounds, per room. Then he headed to the second building which was more fancier, and made up of several a

Out of all the options, Alex could only think of one place to go, and that was his boss, Mr Rogers, who was the general manager of Emrand Enterprise. He couldn't go to the bank because he didn't possess any property that was valuable enough to serve as loan collateral. He had been working hard as a part time worker, under the supervision of Mr Rogers, so he was hoping that Mr Rogers would be kind enough to lend him the money.As he arrived at the enormous building of the Emrand Enterprise, he headed straight to Mr Roger's office.The closer he got to the office, the more nervous he became. He finally stopped in front of the closed door, and paused.He glanced at his watch, anxiety taking over his insides as he realized how every passing second was crucial. Finally mustering up the courage, Alex knocked on the door and entered as soon as he heard Mr. Rogers' commanding voice granting him permission.As soon as he got inside, he laid out his plea. "Mr. Rogers, I need to talk to you a

After Alex had signed the papers, he asked Peter to get the Chief Doctor of the hospital, and instruct him to start the operation on Leah immediately.“Excuse me! Where’s the Chief Doctor?” Pete called out to a passing nurse, who gave him a bewildered look before pointing him toward the doctor's office.Pete rushed to the Chief Doctor's office, one of his men following behind him with a suitcase filled with three million dollars for the operation, and Alex followed closely with Leah on his back.They stepped into the Chief doctor’s office, where the man himself was poring over charts with his assistant. He glanced up, his brow furrowing as he noticed the tension in the room.“Greetings Mr Chief Doctor. I understand that three million is needed to begin the operation for Leah here. We have the money here in cash. Pete said, nodding to his man to open the case filled with the money.“I will appreciate it if you commence with the operation immediately.” Pete added.The Chief doctor leane

After a brief drive, Alex and Pete reached the Emrand Enterprise. Alex had explained everything that happened, and Pete was looking really pissed.As they entered the giant building, they stepped into the lobby, where the reception desk was empty apart from an anxious intern who glanced up nervously. “Where’s your manager?” Pete asked her.“Uh, he’s in his office… I think?” she stuttered.They both strode towards the office, where the manager, Mr Rogers, sat behind his desk, a smug smile plastered across his face.“Well, well. If it isn’t my little part-timer. What do you want, Alex? I’m a little busy.” “Oh, I’m sure you are. Busy plotting another heist, I assume?” Rogers couldn't help but laugh out loudly. “Plotting a heist? Have you lost your brain?” “Oh, don't play dumb with me, I know what you did. You gave me a loan, and collected My ring as collateral, then you went ahead to send your men to steal back the money despite the fact that I told you about my sister's condition.

Alexander raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. "Who's the thief between us, Blake?" he countered. "A thief is someone who takes something that doesn't belong to him." Blake's expression darkened. "What are you talking about?" "You know exactly what I'm talking about," Alexander replied, his voice low and even. "You took Bianca from me.” “ Or should I say, she left you for me?" Blake asked mockingly. Alexander stood there unaffected. Blake snorted. "She made her decision to leave trash like you for someone better." Alexander's eyes narrowed, but he kept his cool. "You think Bianca won't leave you for someone richer, more powerful?" Alexander asked, his tone laced with sarcasm. "You're not exactly the catch of the century, Blake." Blake's face reddened. "I'll marry Bianca, no matter what. And as for you, you're no longer welcome here. You're expelled. I'll make sure the administration knows you're trespassing." Alexander chuckled. "Go ahead, cal
