By the next day in school, everyone already knew about the lottery that Aiden won as the news spread like wildfire. As usual, everyone had their opinion about how he spent the money. Some of the students, mostly those who have benefited from the scholarship scheme in the past commended him for his efforts and sacrifice. However, other students thought that it was foolish of him to donate all his money to charity. As Aiden stepped into the school that morning, all eyes were on him. Some looked at him with admiration, while others looked at him with disgust. He decided that he was not going to pay any attention to anyone and just move on with his business of the day. Before he could enter the lecture hall, Helen, the departmental head of the students' board summoned him into their meeting. Helen had been of help to him in the past. As the departmental head, she was responsible for the welfare of the students in the department. She mostly helped those students who were charity cases
“See who we have here,” Aiden said with a fake hand clap as he looked at the manager who was standing before him in shock. “You called me a thief and ordered for me to be thrown out of your mall, right? But here you are, running an errand that you could have easily asked one of your staff to carry out,” he continued. “I am very sorry for what happened back then. I was just trying to be very careful of thieves,” the manager said. “That does not give you the right to judge a book by its cover,” Aiden insisted. The manager did not know what to do anymore to appease Aiden. He knew that if he secured Aiden, the CEO of Vuitton Co, his business would hit the roof. He fell to his knees immediately and clasped his hands together in a kind of submission. “What are you doing?” Aiden asked him, taken by surprise. “I know that I have offended you, but please, don't let my offense stop you from doing business with me,” the manager pleaded. Aiden looked at him intently for a while, as though h
Aiden was not too enthusiastic to go to school the next day because of all the judgments that he had been receiving lately. He wished he could just stay home and be in bed all day, but he needed the degree to rub his company better. As he stepped down from the cab, an unfamiliar voice hollered at him. He turned around immediately to see who it was, and it was as though his gloomy day was brightened up in a second. He had never seen anyone as beautiful as the girl who was waving at him right now. She was fair with delicate facial features that looked like she was created on a special day. Her hair ran in long full waves that settled below her waist and she had a curvy frame that was outlined by the small dress that she wore. He stopped walking and waited for her to walk towards him. She had some books on the crook of her arm, and when she walked, her hair bounced behind her, making her movement beautiful to watch. He had not seen her before around campus and he wondered if she was a
Brandy went silent immediately at his request. Dakota was with him as well, and they did not seem to understand why he would want to take such a drastic measure against those companies. “Are you sure about this sir?” Brandy asked him and Dakota was listening as well. “The immediate action that you are requesting will ruin a lot of things for them.”“I don't care,” Aiden said ruthlessly. “As long as no life is going to be lost in this process, I want you to do all that you can to ensure that they are ruined. I want them to begin to beg for survival, and I want it to be done immediately,” he insisted. “If this is about something that they did, we can fix it without having to go this far,” Dakota chipped in. “Brandy,” Aiden called out. “You have never questioned me since you started working for me, so don't start now.”“Your wish is my command,” Brandy finally said. “Good. Now, arrange for the board of directors meeting, and send me that driver so that I can be there in fifteen minut
The board members still sat in the boardroom as they thought about what had just happened. They could not believe that they were almost on the verge of losing their jobs. Even President Maxwell had never threatened them with their jobs before. They knew that their new chairman, despite being a young boy, was going to be dangerous as well.“I think we all need to come up with a solution to salvage this situation because our new boss is not one to take any nonsense,” Mr. Adams, who was the most outspoken man among them, decided to break the ice after the long silence. “There is nothing to do here, but for us to sit up, and start putting in our best for this company,” Mr Henry, a stout man in his mid-fifties, said. “I agree with you,” Mrs Floyd, a rather attractive woman for the age of fifty-two, concurred. “I mean, we have been working in this company for so many years, receiving fat salaries, but have been doing the least work. This should be an eye-opener for us to under that we oug
They continued with their meal and were still involved in their little argument when the restaurant door slid open. The restaurant was soon filled with noisy chatters as some boys walked in. Aiden was the first to look up, and he could not believe his eyes when he saw Jason and Melvin. He would have picked up his bag and slid out of the restaurant immediately, but Melvin had seen him already. Melvin was surprised to see him among so many girls as he did not think that Aiden was one to have the attention of all the ladies he was sitting with. He was particularly annoyed, because May, the most beautiful girl in college, was seated with him. All the guys admired her, and she was the cynosure of all eyes. Even her fellow female students thought that she was breathtaking. For the longest time, he had been trying to ask her to be his girlfriend, but she had refused all his advances and gestures. She even went ahead to call him a jerk. He had not given up so easily. He had even bought he
Aiden took one more glance at the man who sat in the backseat through the rearview mirror of his car. He seemed wealthy, like one who owned a Fintech or biotech company. He had a three-piece crisply ironed suit on, and Aiden thought that a review from him would help.He needed every single cash he could get to pay his rent and university tuition. A five-star rating could give him extra bucks, and he was determined to get it from all his customers."I would love it if you could drop a five-star rating for me sir," Aiden said with an enthusiastic smile as his eyes went from the rearview mirror to the road before him. Jason, who all along stuck to going through his phone, finally took a glance at the rearview mirror locking eyes with Aiden projecting a dead stare, but then he looked away without a word. Aiden was disappointed, but he was not discouraged. "It's easy. Log in to the app and then click on the five-star rating." Aiden implored with a persistent tone. "And what does a fiv
"What am I doing here, or why are you following me? Is this what our relationship is about? So now you don't trust me, but you choose to stalk me." Alice fired back trying to sound innocent without seeming embarrassed."What the hell are you talking about? I'm here for a client and now I find you in the same place on this…" he pointed at the towel."Why I'm here, and what I came here for is none of your business Aiden, if you truly value what we have, then you wouldn't stalk me."Aiden was dumbstruck, he wasn't a toddler who could be fooled, seeing Alice in a towel in another man's house meant nothing more than she cheated on him. His heart melted."Why did you come here Aiden? Why are you stalking me?" Alice fired again."He did not follow you here babe," Jason chuckled aloud from behind, walking towards the door. "I sent him here on purpose to see how I can have my way with his so-called girlfriend," he continued, the smirk never leaving his face. "So, how does it feel to drive a m
