SNAPPING HIS FINGER

After driving for a few minutes, the Rolls Royce Phantom neatly pulls over in front of an extravagant tall building, exuding money and standard, and Arthur kills the engine.

The party is held in the hall on the last floor of the building.

"Mmm," Jordan lets out a breath and glances at the building with no difference in his expression as if the building is nothing to him, and calmly opens his door and alights. Arthur also opens his door and alights, seemingly about to walk with Jordan into the building.

After all, Jordan is his boss and it is his duty to tag along with him.

It has always been that way.

But that doesn't happen to be the case this time around as before he can take two more steps toward Jordan, Jordan shakes his head. "You can leave me alone now, Smith," he says calmly yet resolutely. "I don't want my identity revealed yet."

He pats him on the shoulder and resumes walking, paying no attention to the luxurious cars all around him and the people in extravagant attire showing off and in no time, he is inside the building...

In the heat of the party.

"Fuck!" A helpless sigh escapes his lips as the blaring music and shouts infiltrates his eardrums. He has never been a fan of places like this.

He loves being in a peaceful and serene environment because he just can't stand noise. It disturbs his ears and entire being.

He retracts his steps and moves to another segment of the room, to a secluded corner. The noise is less here and he can have his thoughts to himself.

A wave of satisfaction courses through his veins as he sidely leans into the cold wall and helps himself with some wine.

"Mmm," he moans, shuts his eyes, and crosses his leg, seemingly enjoying himself.

"Hey, handsome."

Jordan frowns. Whoever this is just had to cut off the peace he was enjoying.

Don't these ladies have anything else to do than try to flirt with any handsome man they see?! Like, don't they have any work?

He groans and begrudgingly opens his eyes to look at the lady in front of him.

She is a tall, enthralling lady with big boobies and an outrageous big ass and hips. Wonder how she walks with those.

He doesn't pay them much attention anyway as his brows twist disconcertingly at her. He is not sure he has met her before so...

"So handsome, darling," his thoughts are cut off as the beautiful stranger whispers and flashes him a cute smile, steps up to him, and grabs his hand. "Why did you stay here alone instead of finding me?" She pouts.

Jordan furrows his brows. He doesn't know this lady so what is she babbling about? "Uhm, what-" he tries to say but the beautiful stranger cuts him off.

"Help me," she whispers, her eyes pleading.

"Oh" Jordan mouths. It seems the beautiful stranger rushed up to him for help.

But then, he came to this secluded corner to relax and enjoy himself, not to help some random lady.

He attempts to push off her hand and get back with his business, but at this moment, his eyes catch sight of a middle-aged man briskly darting toward them.

And before he can even blink twice, the man arrives in front of them, a haughty aura round about him.

This man doesn't say anything as he takes in the sight in front of him, and the next second, as if controlled by an invisible force, he erupts like a volcano, his nose flaring.

"Who the hell is this?!" He barks, glaring at the beautiful stranger as if he owns her.

"Isn't it obvious?" Nevertheless, the beautiful stranger merely smiles, seemingly not one bit moved by his outburst, and leans closer to Jordan. "He is my boyfriend!"

"Impossible," the man scoffs as his eyes take in Jordan from his head to toe and the next second, he sneers, "You must have been in a hurry to get someone you can use to get me off your tail that you couldn't even choose someone good enough.

"Open your eyes and take a good look at the punk you are clutching onto. Look at his clothes, they are so cheap. I'm sure they are not up to 50 bucks in total. So low! Look at his shoes too, ugh, this guy must be from the slums! So irritating!"

Jordan lets out a sigh and shakes his head. Why is it that everyone tends to judge people by their appearance?

Is it that they've not heard the adage; "Don't judge a book by its cover?" Perhaps they have but chose to ignore it.

He calmly pushes the beautiful stranger away from him and asks somewhat sarcastically, "Since I'm a loser from the slums, you, who are you?"

"You see? You don't even know me! That goes on to show you are a loser because who doesn't know me in this county?" Not catching onto Jordan's sarcasm as he is so filled with the vigor to ridicule him, the man retorts jeeringly and puffs his chest arrogantly, adding,

"I don't like introducing myself because I'm a prominent man in this county and my fame does that for me, but since you are just a pauper who knows nothing, I'll stoop to your wretched level and do that so I can enlighten your dumb brain; I am Henry Maguire, the heir of the Maguire family!"

"Really?!" Jordan raises his brows, pretending to be shocked and points behind him, asking half-heartedly, "Is that the Lord of your family sitting over there then?"

Henry furrows his brow. He can't remember the Lord of his family mentioning that he would be coming here tonight.

But Jordan seems confident as if whoever it is must be the Lord of his family.

Although he doesn't want to turn, he can't help but do so just to satisfy his curiosity only to see no one particularly familiar.

"Punk, are you joking with me?!" He turns back to Jordan and snarls, breathing heavily, and his veins throbbing.

Jordan shrugs with a nonchalant smile on his face, "Well, don't blame me, it's just that the way you talked about your family made me think the Lord of your family would have been that big man sitting over there, who has conquered the numerous other big men with his act of benevolence, but turns out you must have exaggerated things and your family isn't that much of a big deal after all."

Henry flushes beet red. "You!" He snarls furiously, rolls up his sleeves, and makes to dart at Jordan, but before he can successfully take a step, Jordan beats him to it as he darts at him at an incomparable speed and snaps his fingers at his face.

Instantly, as if controlled by a sudden invincible force that was released by the snapping of Jordan's fingers, Henry loses focus and falls into Jordan, who in turn holds him in place, his eyes half awake.

    Henry's face darkens. He is the young master of the Maguires, how can he get on his knees and apologize to Jordan?Such an act would not only disappoint his family but also jeopardize his position as the heir apparent. His pride and ego would also be crushed and he might never be able to raise his head high again."You don't want to do it?""You're being unfairly unfair to me.

    Seeing this, Natasha turns pale. From Jordan's reaction, it's obvious he and this person are not on good terms. This leaves her wondering how that could be when the person gifted him such a unique card.Perhaps he did before whatever happened between them happened.

    "What? Why? Jordan paid all the bills so why am I not allowed to leave?"

Isabella's jaw drops. "What does he mean by that? How can only two of us finish that quantity of food and wine?""We don't know, Miss, but that is the instruction. Except the food and wines are cleared, you can only remain here.""How ridiculous!" Henry stands and bellows. "I'm the young master of the Maguires, will you two really stop me from leaving?""We only follow instructions, sir.

    Henry and Isabella had devised a plan to embarrass Jordan, hoping he would struggle to pay the bills and end up washing plates for a month. However, their scheme took an unexpected turn when Jordan not only paid the bills but did so with an astonishing 2.4 billion, 98 thousand dollars. This isn't 2. 4 million, 98 thousand dollars or 200 million, 98 thousand dollars but 2.4 billion, 98 thousand dollars! Isabella doesn't know what to make of this.

    WHAT?!

    "What is this?" As the waitress accepts the card from Jordan and stares down at it, she asks, her brows furrowed in confusion."Hahaha, Jordan, did you pick up a play card on the floor? When did debit start being gold in color?" Henry jeers, laughing mockingly at him."That you don't know the card, is that what makes it a play card that I picked on the floor?" Jordan scoffs. "Anyways, your reaction is well expected, I would have been even surprised if any of you knew the card because the card is only one in the entire country, specially made for me.""Hah, what is that? Isn't he exaggerating too much?" A diner frowns. "He is just a pauper; how could he have a card that is only one in the country and is specially made for him? In fact, when has it ever been heard that a card was specially made for someone? Even the King of Zephyria might not have such card, who is he to?""He must be playing games with us all!

"They are obviously plotting against you, how can you still ask her to order after Henry has ordered that much? Do you really have the money to pay?"Jordan smiles. "I wasn't joking when I said I could buy this whole restaurant, let alone a few drinks and meals. What are you waiting for? Order yours as well. Also add mine.""Hahaha, Jordan, you seem to have hit the jackpot. Even your character is like one a wealthy man. In that case, I won't be polite neither will I hold back." Isabella turns to the waiter who is still waiting. "I will have this, this, this, this..." Unlike Henry who only placed order for approximately twelve meals and wines, Isabella takes hers up a notch, ordering 20 meals and 20 wines, the meals in the price range of five hundred thousand and the wines in the price range of one million."Ah!"

    PLOTTING AGAINST HIM

    Two days ago or thereabout, Isabella met with Henry Maguire who urged her to invest in Starwood Apparels. However, Jordan came out of nowhere to tell her that doing so would be the greatest mistake she would ever make. He even claimed that the company would soon be destroyed. He had been so confident in his words that she started doubting her decision. If not for Henry that urged to trust him even just that once, that was how she would have been deceived and lost out on a rare opportunity to rise her family back to glory.Now, when Henry asked Jordan what he could say considering how things just turned out, she had expected him to at least be humble and sane enough to apologize for spilling the trash he spilled the last time.Instead of doing that, he began spilling another trash and acting as if he was one celestial god. She is so infuriated and can't help but wonder how it could be possible that they were once married. At this moment, she feels divorcing him has to be the best dec

"Here, we serve all kinds of sumptuous and luxurious meals. Here are our menus for your selections. The price of each meal is attached to it," almost immediately, a beautiful waitress approaches Jordan and Natasha and says with a charming smile.Jordan doesn't bother to accept a menu from the waitress. He says indifferently, "I'll have anything the lady picks."Natasha feels her cheeks reddening at that statement. She quickly takes a menu from the waitress and uses it to cover her face. Simultaneously, she glances over the pages.The next second, a frown res

As they pass the receptionist's desk, the receptionist, catching a glimpse of Jordan, lifts her gaze and asks."Yes, I have, and it is...," Jordan pauses, a smile tugging at his lips as he glances down at Natasha Natasha beside him."What are you looking at me for?" Natasha turns deeper shades of red. She has to turn her face away him.Jordan chuckles and drawls, "I told the beautiful receptionist that I lost something, which was why I came back to the company, but what she didn't know was that I actually didn't lose something but someone. Now, I've found her and I'm leaving with her.""Aww, that's so sweet," the receptionist whispers. "I've been seeing you guys together a lot.
