“Wow, you should have brought that earlier, sir," the rude bank teller said as he walked up to Aiden with a sudden smile. He tossed the silver card back to Micheal as he moved without looking back."Are you saying that you will regard me only because I have a diamond bank card?" Aiden asked, after he was approached by the teller."Of course not," he replied, his voice climbing to an octave. "Sir, I will make your transaction swift and fast, please let me have your card.""So you do have a way of treating top clients, especially in the queue, right?""That's the rules sir. Our top customers are a priority," the bank teller wanted to put up a defense. "They have a special room where they are attended to, but if they choose to be in the queue, they must be treated like other customers," Aiden stated. The bank teller was surprised that he knew so much about the bank rules, and he was embarrassed to the core. Aiden then turned to the female bank teller who had been polite to him and s
"How much are we talking about here?" Aiden asked after a deep thought. He could not imagine Lena being assaulted because of money that he hoped he could pay. "I don't think you can pay," the lead thug growled. "How much?" Aiden asked more firmly this time. "Five hundred thousand dollars," he finally replied. Aiden was very surprised at the amount of money. It was not because he could not pay the amount. It was because he wondered what Lena used such an amount of money to do. They both lived in the same house and their rent was not up to that amount. It was probably her lifestyle. "I will give you the money," he blurted out. Lena looked up at him, the shock in her eyes was obvious. "What did you say?" Another thug asked him. He was the one who was ready to have his way with Lena first. It looked like he was more concerned about that than getting his money. Lena could only wonder where he intended to get such an amount of money to pay such a ridiculous debt. "I said I will give
Aiden rolled his eyes with a slight sigh upon sighting Melvin. He wished he could roll back the hands of time by not coming to the restaurant, as Melvin was the last person that he expected to see at that moment. As the son of a very influential billionaire in the country, and with his father making huge donations to the school that they attended, Melvin was a spoiled bully. He picked on students in school, and no one dared to say a word to him including their teachers. They were all afraid of losing their jobs, and thus, he always went scot-free with whatever wrong he did. Aiden did not say a word to him but looked at the table that Melvin had come from. Some of his classmates were having dinner, one that Aiden was not invited to as usual. He was not surprised. They hated him. Melvin looked at Lena and when he saw how beautiful and curvy she was, a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of his lips. "I'm surprised a beautiful girl like you would have dinner with a wretched bas
Melvin smiled when Lena agreed to join him at his table. He put forth his hand and she put her hand in his as she stood up and followed him to the table next to where Aiden sat. Aiden was disappointed when she agreed, but she winked at him, reassuring him that she had a plan to deal with him. He was calm after that and watched how the entire drama would unfold, almost giddy with excitement."So, what do you have for me tonight?" Lena asked Melvin as she sat at the table with him. "I want you to have whatever you want tonight, so long as I have you in my bed tonight," he said to her audaciously, to the hearing of Aiden, so he could humiliate him further. Melvin was used to getting what he wanted so long as he had enough money to throw around. Little did he know that they planned to deal with him tonight. "Alright then," Lena said to him as she reached out to touch his hand flirtatiously, pushing out her chest a little to enhance her cleavage. She was so convincing that Aiden though
Lena intended to make the whole thing more interesting. She signaled the other classmates who were having dinner to come join their table. They all gladly did as they had been looking at the amount of food left on their table. They were intent on eating their fill because Melvin, as they thought, was capable of footing the bill. Melvin smiled uncomfortably as they all came to join the table. If he could make all of them disappear at that instant, he would have done so immediately. "Are you not going to eat?" Lena asked him as he watched the other students gobble down the platter before them. "I ate before coming for dinner. I am full already," he lied with a feigned smile. His appetite had disappeared the moment he saw the amount of food that he ordered. All that was on his mind at the moment was what the bill would look like. "Have I told you of how much of a generous person that you are?" Lena asked him with a pout as she touched his arm lightly. "Wait until you see the huge d
The waiter signaled his colleague to go ahead and present Aiden's bill to him. Everyone looked in anticipation, and Aiden was aware of their stares. He took the bill and opened it up. It was just twenty-five thousand dollars. He remained unhinged as he looked at the bill and they were all surprised that there was no shocking reaction from him. "How do you intend to pay, Sir?" The waiter asked him politely. "How do you accept payment?" He asked the waiter. "You can use a card and you can give us some cash as well," the waiter explained. Aiden thought about it for a while. He would have used a card, but he thought that if he did, they would not know the amount that he was paying. "I think I will give you some cash," he finally said with a smile. He then dipped his hand into his bag and took out three wads of cash, each of them containing ten thousand dollars. There was a slight gasp from the students on Melvin's table. They were all surprised, and they started whispering wildly t
Everyone at the table went mute immediately after the suggestion was made as none of them had that amount of money to pay for just a meal. Even though they were all from influential families, they did not have the luxury of spending such an amount of money for dinner. "I'm sorry but my parents did not give me some money for this month's allowance," one of the students said, breaking the ice. As though drawing confidence from this student's excuse, the other students began to speak up."My allowance for six months cannot foot the bill," one of them said. "I would have helped but I have put the money in my savings and I can't access it now," another student said. "Can you all just keep shut?!" Melvin growled in a fit of rage. The room fell silent again as everyone turned to look at him. Melvin turned around but there was the waiter, right in front of him, and smiling back at him. "Please sir, I think that it is time to make your payment. Just a swipe of your card or some wads of
They soon flagged down a taxi, and Aiden opened the door for Lena, so she could get in before he did. They soon left the restaurant premises, and as they sat in the car, Lena was still finding it hard to wrap her head around the fact that the guy whom she had shared an apartment with for years was very rich. "So, how did you manage to get the money that you have used for all of these expenses?" She finally asked him. Aiden smiled before he spoke. "I had some money saved up, so I decided to make use of it," he replied casually. Lena was not going to buy that story and he knew it. "Come on, Aiden. We both know that driving an Uber and working in a restaurant as a waiter cannot fetch you a million dollars, just for you to spend it all up in a single day," she said. "Alright, fine," he said amidst chuckles. "I'll tell you."Aiden remembered the deal that he had made with his managers. It was not time for him to reveal his identity. He had to keep it under wraps until after a year of
