Ascendance Of The Talented Tycoon

Chapter 5.

"Young Master, I'm sorry, but I think I'll have to leave." Mia frowned as she looked at her watch.

"Alright," Henry nodded.

"I'll give you a call once I'm done with my work," Mia continued.

"There'll be no need, I'll give you a call once I need your help." Henry smiled as he shook his head.

"Farewell Young Master." Mia smiled as she entered the car which was waiting for her.

Henry nodded with a sigh as he looked at the car drive into the distance. Everything looked like a dream to him, in just a day, he went from a useless loser to the son of the richest man in the country.

Well, he wasn't going to think about it too much and just let nature take its cause. Besides, it was time to shake the business industry. He has a great talent, but then he had always been suppressed by Patrick.

Now that he was given another chance, he was going to make sure to cause a huge ripple in the business industry.

A smile appeared on Henry's lips as he thought about it. Well then that was it, he had other things to do.

Pushing all thoughts to the back of his mind, Henry flaged down a taxi and headed to the nearest mall. He had to change the clothes he was wearing as they were all worn out.

---

Thirty minutes later, Henry alighted from the taxi and paid the driver before heading into the mall. Looking at the rows of the luxurious clothes in his front Henry shook his head.

Even though he now had enough money, he wasn't interested in buying such expensive clothes, he still preferred to dress normally.

Sighing, he turned around and prepared to go choose some other cheap clothes.

"And who do we have here?" A mocking voice came just as Henry was about to leave.

Henry frowned as he turned around to look at the owner of the voice who had just spoken.

"What do you want, Janet?" Henry frowned as he looked at the figure in front of him.

"Well, nothing, I'm just shocked to see you here." Janet laughed as she looked at Henry, not hiding the disgust in her eyes.

"Are you also here to buy some clothes?" Janet laughed as she looked at Henry.

"Well, what I came to do at the mall is none of your business." Henry sneered as he couldn't be bothered with her.

"Well, don't get annoyed so quickly, I just saw you staring at those clothes." Janet laughed.

"And how's that your business?" Henry frowned.

"Well, it's not my business, I'm just curious as to how you would afford those clothes l." Janet laughed.

"Well, it's none of your business," Henry sneered as he was feeling too lazy to argue with her.

"Well then, don't get angry so easily, I'm just wondering how you'll afford them." Janet smiled.

Henry frowned as he decided to ignore Janet, knowing quite well she would continue to get on his nerves if he continued to listen to her.

Janet was one of his college mates who looked down on him since College and had been looking for ways to make sure she embarrassed him. He knew she was going to stop at nothing to embarrass him.

"Well, then, how about you get that cloth, I'm sure it'll look good on you." Janet smiled, ignoring the fact that Henry had refused to answer her.

Henry frowned as looked at the clothes Janet was pointing at. Even though it was just a pair of trousers, the price tag on it was 1000$ dollars which made him frown.

Even his salary was just $2000. Besides, he knew quite well that Janet knew he wouldn't be able to afford it.

"Hey come over here." Janet suddenly called out to one of the sales girls nearby even before Henry could say anything.

"Pack up that trouser," She continued.

"Ma'am, is it from you, I'm afraid...."

"Don't worry, it's not for me, but this gentleman beside me." Janet smiled as she pointed at Henry.

"Huh?" Henry froze hearing what Janet said, when the hell did he say he was going to buy the trousers?

The sales girls frowned as she looked at Henry with disgust.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Janet frowned seeing the look on the sales girl's face.

"But...."

"How dare you look down on him, do you think he won't be able to afford those clothes just because of the way he's dressed." Janet fumed, interrupting the sales girl.

"I'm sorry ma'am." The sales girl apologized as she hurriedly went ahead to pick the cloth that Janet pointed at.

"Pick that, too," Janet commanded, pointing at another cloth.

"And that!"

"And that!" Janet commanded, pointing at some other clothes.

Soon, she took over the role of shopping for Henry as she kept pointing at all the clothes she saw. Besides, all the clothes she pointed at were very expensive.

Henry frowned as he watched the scene quietly. What the hell did Janet think she was doing? She didn't even ask for his opinion before helping him to shop.

"Henry, how do you like the clothes I picked for you?" Janet smiled as she looked at Henry.

"Did I ask you to pick them from me?" Henry asked with a frown. 

"Well, then, I took it over myself to shop for you. You're such a rich dude, yet you keep dressing this way, isn't it pitiful?" Janet sighed and Henry frowned as he stared at Janet, he could feel the hint of sarcasm in her voice and was kind of annoyed.

"Ma'am here's the bill, everything you bought is $50,000." The sales girl smiled as she approached Janet.

"Give it to him, he'll pay." Janet smiled.

"But...."

"Didn't I just ask you not to look down on him? Do you know how rich he is?" Janet fumed as she interrupted the sales girl.

"His net worth is not something ordinary people like you can think about." She continued as she glared at the sales girl.

"I'm sorry ma'am." The sales girl apologized seeing that Janet was angry.

"It's not your fault, you wouldn't be like this if you knew that he could buy out this mall." Janet sneered.

"Sir, this is the bill, are you going to pay with cash or with a card?" The salesgirl smiled as she looked at Henry, the disdain in her eyes was evident.

She knew what Janet was trying to do, she was sure that Henry didn't have the money to pay for all that Janet had chosen for him, and yet he couldn't say anything.

Well, it was either he was a fool or his brain was malfunctioning, or else, he would have done something.

"I'm not interested in buying?" Henry smiled as he shook his head.

"Huh?" The sales girl froze upon hearing Henry's words.

"Instead, I'd like to buy out this mall instead." Henry's words floated in the sales girl's ears and she couldn't help but think that she heard wrongly.

Even Janet at the side was taken aback, but then a sinister smile appeared on her lips as she stared at Henry. It seemed like he didn't know his limits. She was going to make sure he suffered for bragging.

"Sir, I'm afraid that is more than my power." The sales girl muttered slowly as she looked at Henry, the disdain in her had increased.

"Well then, if that's above your power, then you get the manager here." Janet frowned as she stared at the sales girl.

"But...."

"Shut the hell up and go ahead to call the manager," Janet yelled.

"Don't you think it's inappropriate to yell at the poor girl?" Henry smiled as he looked at Janet. Even though he knew what Janet was trying to do, he decided to play along with her.

"No, she's not supposed to be let off easily, how dare she disrespect you?" Janet frowned.

"Well then, thanks for the concern, but then it won't be necessary," Henry chuckled.

"I'll be delighted to see you buy out this mall." Janet laughed as she looked at Henry.

"Well then, I'd suggest you shouldn't faint or be too shocked when I buy it out later." Henry smiled as looked at Janet 

"Well, I'd suggest you buy it first," Janet sneered.

"And you why the hell are you standing here, go and fucking get the manager over, someone wants to buy out the mall." Janet sneered as she looked at the mall.

"Did I hear someone call my name?"
