An Instant Zillionaire

Chapter 6: Meeting the secretary

Brad was a bit shocked. He didn't remember seeing the man before and wondered what could have happened.

The man in the suit moved aside with a curt bow and gestured towards the luxurious car.

"Who is he? And why is he speaking with Brad?"

"Does he know him? But how?"

"How can a poor guy like Brad know this rich and handsome man?"

Comments came flying from around Brad. Even his friends were shocked to their bone marrow.

Brad followed the man to the car, with eyes still staring right behind them.

"Who are you?"

"I'm sorry, boss, for not giving you the respect that you deserve," he apologised with a short bow.

Brad didn't miss the fact that the man had referred to him as 'Boss'. So, he was definitely someone that knew him very well.

"You are still yet to answer my question. Who are you?"

"I'm Pete and I'm taking you to meet your assistant. She's already waiting for you in the restaurant," he explained.

Soon enough, the car pulled into one of the popular restaurants in town.

Arctic Circle Restaurant was just like the outback steakhouse in terms that it was only rich people that patronised it. That aside, it was strictly by booking.

Pete got out of the car quickly and opened the door for Brad.

Brad hesitated, still a bit confused. He has an assistant?

Nevertheless, he got out of the car and followed Pete inside the Restaurant. 

A man stopped them at the entrance but Pete stretched out something to him and he let them enter.

They walked towards a table where a slender, yet attractive woman was. She had long black hair and she was dressed in very expensive clothes.

When Brad was near enough, she stood up and made a short bow. 

And Brad saw that she was very curvy.

"Nice to meet you in person, Mr. Harrier," she said with a smile and looked at Pete. "Get Mr Harrier something to chew on."

Pete made a short bow and walked away.

She turned to look at Brad again. "I'm Ava, your assistant," she introduced.

Brad raised skeptical brows at her. "What assistant?"

Ava saw the confusion that mirrored his face. "Please, sit sir and I will explain everything to you," she assured.

Brad nodded once and sat.

Ava sat as well. She dipped her hand into her bag and pulled out a sheet of paper. She stretched it out to Brad.

"Here's the company that I have been managing on your behalf, Mr Harrier."

Brad took the sheet and perused it.

"StreamRoll?" Brad muttered aloud.

StreamRoll was a live-streaming platform that has recently become popular among students in Brad's school as well as other universities.

Ava nodded once, with a smile. "You own StreamRoll, Mr Harrier," she affirmed

Brad couldn't believe his ears. Then, realisation dawned on him. "Wait? Have you been crediting my account? 

Ava nodded once. "Yes, boss. We have been crediting your account for three years now. Though, StreamRoll isn't the only thing you own. The necessary information is on that sheet," she explained.

Brad looked down at the sheet again, and this time, he assessed it fully.

He has two companies which include StreamRoll and Fast-tech which initially belonged to his father.

Brad released an exasperated sigh and looked up at Ava. "Does this mean that my father is giving me full control of Fast-tech?"

Ava nodded once. "Yes, boss. This means that Fast-tech and StreamRoll are now yours," she affirmed.

This was the reason why he had so much money and assets to his name.

"Your father, Mr Harrier has made you the heir and so, everything is now yours. Also, some well-known people in the city would like to meet you. Everyone wants to know who the heir of Fast-tech is. So, a welcome party will be hosted," she explained.

Brad released a sigh. Everything was moving so fast.

At this time, Pete returned with the waiter carrying a lot of side dishes.

Pete bowed slightly. "I'm unable to decide which wine you would like, sir."

"Just give us one of your most expensive wines?" Ava said before Brad would say anything.

The waiter bowed slightly before he walked away while Pete adjusted and stood right behind Brad.

"If there is anything you want me to do, sir, I will gladly do it. I'm yours to control."

Brad looked at Ava for a moment. A beautiful lady was his assistant. 

"So, you've been operating StreamRoll alone?"

"Yes boss but it's time for you to take over. Oh, lest I forget," she smiled and delved into her bag again. She brought out a necklace. "I got this David Webb for you at Miller May yesterday. It looks like the last of its kind. It's my first gift to you, sir."

Brad stared down at the chain that he desperately worked for several days back so he could afford it for his girlfriend's birthday.

Though Brad doesn't feel it's useful anymore, he decides to accept it because of Ava's pure intention.

"Thank you, Ava."

Ava smiled, showing a set of white teeth. "We should discuss the welcome party instead."

Brad nodded once. "I will get back to you later concerning it. How about that?"

Ava nodded once. "You should have your lunch so I can drive you back to school."

Brad shook his head briefly. "Don't you worry? I will find my way out," he muttered and dived into the food.

The meal tasted nice and Brad could have sworn that he had never tasted something so delicious since his seven years as a poor guy.

"Also, I got this for you," Ava said suddenly, cutting into Brad's thoughts. She pulled out the latest iPhone and placed it beside Brad. "My contact is there In case you need to call me. Besides, we also need to meet again to discuss the welcome party. This phone should be your official one," she explained.

When Brad left the restaurant, it was getting very late. He was full already, so he went straight to his dorm.

"Brad!" Kevin yelled suddenly, just as he stepped inside. He hurried to him. "Where have you been?"

"We thought something bad had happened to you. We've been trying your number but it wasn't available," David complained.

Brad released a sigh. "My phone has a flat battery. I'm sorry for disturbing you."

David nodded once. "But what happened? Why did that man come to get you? How did you know him?"

Brad hesitated, he didn't want to tell them the truth just yet, even though they had been good friends to him since his freshman year.

Well, he had yet to process how he wanted everything to be. When he was done, he would decide how to do everything.

"I won the lottery," he announced, with a smile.

"Seriously?" Kevin's eyes widened in surprise.

Brad nodded with a smile.

The men jubilated!

"Really! I'm so happy for you! Who would have thought? So, that was why the man came to get you in such a luxurious car?"

Brad nodded briefly. "Have you had dinner? We could go grab something for you to eat, even though I've eaten."

Kevin and Daniel smiled, feeling satisfied.

"Yes, let's do that!"

"Brad! Get the fuck out here!" A voice yelled suddenly, in anger.

They all turned towards the door.

Who could that be?

Kevin released a sigh. "The students have been waiting for you. They all thought you ran away."

"Yes, they want you to go to the outback steakhouse because of what Mick said. What will you do?"
