With his head held high, Henry took graceful steps into the hall. All eyes were flung on him and when the audience noticed the dame beside him, tongues began to wag.

Meanwhile, Stacy’s arm was tucked right around Henry’s. She was holding onto him tightly to prove to the crowd that her relationship with him wasn’t platonic.

Murmurs began to fly through every corner of the room.

“Is that his girlfriend?”

“She’s so damn hot!”

“Where did Henry get such a beauty from?”

When Henry was approaching Benedict, the whole room fell silent. Everyone had understood that there was about to be a battle between Benedict and Henry.

Benedict broke into a dry laugh and cast a contemptuous look at Henry. Henry held up his malicious stare and reciprocated the look.

As the boys kept staring at each other with fury in their eyes, the crowd couldn’t help but compare Bella’s beauty to Stacey’s.

If Bella’s skin was as bright as the sun and her beauty was as blinding, Stacey’s skin glowed and could illumin

    Benedict straightened his hands on the table. “Look, I know you’re a poor man and a loser but I’ve always thought you were an honest man so cut the crap about paying the dame 6 million dollars.” He told Henry. “I meant what I said.” Henry maintained. Benedict broke into a laugh. He pressed his lips into a thin line and looked intensely at Henry. Was Henry making fun of him? He wondered. “How can a scavenger of all people be so arrogant?” Benedict spat with a vicious face. His voice was ringing with disgust. He couldn’t take it anymore. He pointed a finger at Henry. “What do you mean by 6 million dollars? Look, we are all coursemates here so who do you want to impress?”Henry wasn’t bothered by the fact that Benedict was turning red. He ignored his hostile face and reached for the wine in Stacey’s hand. She passed it to him. He took a sip and handed it back to her. Benedict clenched his jaw. Henry sighed and threw his back against the chair. “Look, Benedict. I’m not a good acto

    The way Henry gave orders to Nate stating that the hotel’s top staff be assembled made him seem like the owner and it pissed Benedict off. Benedict sighed and was determined not to deal with Henry just yet. He would rather wait for him to make a fool of himself. Benedict sat and Bella settled right next to him. They began to whisper while Henry was stamping his left leg patiently. Stacey was simply enjoying the drama and while some of the students had resolved to chat and dine, others were determined not to move an inch for they were determined to see the last of Henry’s games. About ten minutes later, a knock landed on the glass door. As if their gazes were guided by a magical wand, everyone turned in that direction. A dignified man in a customized suit walked in. His black hair had receded and he was about 50 years of age. The man was Mr. Cross, Star Moon’s hotel manager. Not only was Mr. Cross a dignified staff in the hotel, but he was also a respected man in Marylyn and was

    Molly, who was standing next to Bella turned to her with stars in her eyes. “Wait, Henry bought Star Moon Hotel? Can you imagine how powerful he is?”The other students began to whisper among themselves. “Did Mr. Cross just refer to Henry as president?”“Can you imagine how rich he is to have secured this hotel?”“I don’t understand. How is all this even possible?”The students went on speaking. Jared slipped behind Benedict and walked up to Markus. They began to whisper to each other.“I think it’s time we accept the fact that he’s rich. The signs are everywhere.” Markus said with his arms folded across his chest.Everyone was staring in disbelief as the staff went on to introduce themselves to Henry. “If he was this rich then why did he spend his life picking up trash? This whole thing is driving me nuts.” Jared cried out. Molly moved away from Bella and stood before her colleagues. “Seems like Henry had been playing games with us all these while. Isn’t it evident that he’s ric

    Bella’s face was covered with a shocked reaction after Henry made the response. She then joined her palms together and went on begging him. Henry was disgusted by Bella’s actions. What does she take him for? A fool? He knew she was bent on getting back with him because of his newfound money. He shook his head. “I’m not as lowly as you are.” He then walked away, leaving behind a stunned Bella. Benedict was trying to keep his temper in check and possibly free himself from the humiliating position he was in. When he saw Bella hovering over Henry like a bear at the sight of honey, he wasn’t bothered but the determined Bella went running down the lobby after Henry with tears rolling down her cheeks. The students began to point at Benedict and giggle. “Get away from him, Bella!” Benedict yelled, shooing her like a dog. Mr. Cross turned to the students. “Party is over. What are you all still doing here?”They vanished. Meanwhile, one of the guards had arrived with a camp-size bed. He

    Henry pressed his eyes against each other and slowly opened them. He felt his arms wrapped around something or someone rather. When he darted his gaze down, he saw Stacey in his arms, smiling at him. She was tucked beneath the sheets just like him. The sheets were the only covering around them. Henry’s eyes widened when the flashes of the previous night came wavering on his mind. Stacey was looking up at him with her eyes filled with desire. “Good morning, sleepy head.” “What time is it?” he quickly sat up and wiped his eyes with the edge of his left palm. Stacey stared at the wall clock. “noon on the dot.” She turned to Henry with a smile. “What a perfect time to wake up.”Henry’s brows went up in disbelief. “noon?” He then looked through the window. The sun was already up, shining brightly. “How on earth did I sleep for this long?” He cried out and lowered the sheet to his waist. Henry would always wake up at dawn to collect trash. It was the first time in 6 years that he ha

    Benedict went on nodding like a puppet while Henry made things clear. Henry was making use of every nerve in his finger pointed at Benedict to pass the message. He wasn’t throwing cheap threats. “You can leave now,” Henry concluded and in an instant, Benedict vanished. When Henry went back to the hotel room, Stacey had already packed their bags. They dashed out. When they got to the reception, they met Mr. Cross.“We will take our leave. We had a good time.” Henry said. Mr. Cross smiled. “It’s an honor to hear that from you. Did you come with a car? I can make arrangements for a private vehicle to take you to your destination.”Henry shook his head. “That wouldn’t be necessary.”Mr. Cross walked them to the door. When they got outside, Stacey moved to the spot where she had parked her car the previous day. She stepped on the driver’s corner and after Henry got in, she drove off. “Let’s go to the hospital,” Henry said after Stacey drove past the hotel. She smiled. “Of course.”Th

    Nurse Betty shook her head. “Calm down, miss. Your father is alive.”Stacey heaved a sigh of relief. Henry caught himself smiling. “Your father is in the treatment room.” The nurse supplied. “Got it,” Stacey replied and ran toward Henry. She grabbed him by the hand and ran out. She ran straight to the treatment room. Her father was once taken there so Stacey knew exactly where the room was. It was upstairs, right on top of the ward. When they there, Stacey noticed that the door was open so she simply barged in. She was taken aback by the spectacle before her. Her poor father was the only one in the room. He was in a wheelchair, crouched in a corner breathing heavily. Stacey quickly let go of Henry’s hand. “Dad! Are you okay?”The old man slowly lifted his head. “Why are you the only one here?” She rushed to him and knelt in front of him. She began to sob. When patients are brought to the treatment room upstairs, it means they were in need of urgent care and the room is mostly

    Dr. Derrick took his head into his hands, acting like he was feeling dizzy. “Did you say 10 million?”Over the years as a doctor, Derrick had met various patient relatives. Some people sold their properties to raise the needed hospital bills and some had to take loans and ended up bankrupt but no one could give out 10 million at once. After concluding that Henry was playing games with him, Dr. Derrick fell back on his chair. He looked up at Henry. “You got so much nerve. You think 10 million is a piece of cake and even if you bring 100 million, it will change nothing. He still can’t stay here.”Henry faced Dr. Derrick. “What are you talking about? Is the hospital full or what?”“And what if I say it’s full.” Retorted Dr. Derrick. He seemed irritated. “Well, he’s already here so there has to be some space,” Henry replied. Stacey palmed her head. It was all too much for her. “The hospital is full. All the wards are taken that’s why he was transferred to the treatment room, the only

Pack your things quickly and get out of here. This is no longer your territory.”Everyone shouted at wales hoping to please Henry.Wales felt like crying.He used to be respected but these people, but now they chased him out like a dog.He wished it was a bad dream he could wake up from.Except for a few artists that were bound beca

    Immediately, the security guards brought Lenard out.When they brought him out, his face was full of bruises and he was in a lot of pain.Ben had used the excuse of him stealing the company’s confidential documents to beat him up.Ben and the others that brought Henry out did not know what had happened.Ben did not know that his superior almost jumped off the building.He said to Lenard with a sinister smile, “It seems that your boss is here. he’s really got some nerve. Wales will deal with you both today.”After saying that he dragged Lenard to the floor in front of Henry.henry saw Lenard with his swollen face and several footprints on his clothes.He couldn’t help but frown.He didn’t think Wales would do such a thing.He stared at him coldly.Lenard shouted with a crying voice, “Mr. Parker, you are finally here!”Ben did not see clearly that the situation had changed.He said proudly, “Mr. Parker, how dare you offend our boss, Mr. Wales? Don’t even think about walking out today. O

    Wales thought the security guards were all putting on an act so he kicked the hard“Get up, you fools! You can’t even take care of one person!?” He screamed angrily.The security chief held his chest and gasped.He had just been hit by the tiny Tim with his elbow but it was as if he had been hit by a car.He still felt that his head was out of oxygen.“Boss! This person is not easy to deal with. He is too strong!” the poor guy could hardly finish his statement before he slumped to the ground again.Wales sighed inwardly.He was doomed.If these guys can’t beat just one person out of all the guards Henry brought, how would he survive?What they didn’t know was if Tiny Tim actually dealt with them ruthlessly, they’d be all dead.“Trash! You all can’t even handle one tiny guy!? Why have I been paying you all these years then? You all can’t even take care of these ruffians!” Wales barked at them.The security guys felt so wrong. They felt like crying.They wished they could fight back but

    It was why he could dare to say that he would jump from the building if henry could buy the whole building.One should note that the Light company was located at the twenty-first floor.If he really jumped, his neck would snap into a meat paste.“Ha! You really dared to say that. I hope you won’t back out later.” Henry said as he smiled widely.He didn’t think that Wales would make such a bet with him.June went out to make a few phone calls and found out who the owner of the building was.she walked back to report to Henry.‘Sir, the owner of this building is Troy.”Henry was stunned. But he smiled, thinking it was a good coincidence.The purchase of Cloud Haven would even be smoother.Troy had lost to him in the past.Wales thought Henry was afraid when he heard Troy’s name.Therefore, he said with a sinister smile‘Now you know! This is Mr. smith’s property. Can you afford it? I’m sure you can’t even find him.”“How do you know I can’t find Troy? Maybe he wants me to buy it.” Henry

    This matter was finally going to relieve their boredom.They couldn’t wait to see how everything would turn out.Even the trainers had snuck out to see the so-called boss Lenard called powerful and rich.When they saw Henry, they were not that impressed.Most of his guards were women.While Wales on the other hand, had hefty-looking security guards behind him.It was obvious they were prepared to teach Henry a lesson.Such an explosive scene was not something to be missed.When Wales heard Henry’s words, he let out a laugh.“Ha! You want me to let him go? Do you think that this has never happened? Who the fuck do you think you are? This is Starlight entertainment! How dare you try to scout my people?” he screamed angrily.“Lenard is my person now. I have the right to ask for him.” Henry said calmly.“Uh! You really think you and I are equal? My Light entertainment company is the biggest and the most successful. Just the staff alone is not less than a thousand people and there are over

    After all, approaching people in this manner was not something to be done in the open.But since Henry had done, he wasn’t afraid of Starlight entertainment.When he heard Wales’s question, Henry was indifferent.He said faintly, “Who are you? Do you have the right to talk to me?”“Fuck! I am the CEO of Starlight entertainment company. Do you think I’m qualified?” Wales said angrily.“I don’t care if you are the president or whatever. Lenard is my subordinate now. You better don’t touch him or else you’ll not be able to bear the consequences.” Henry warned.“Who do you think you are!? Today, I’m going to teach you and Lenard a lesson. Come and take him away if you dare.”“Alright. I’ll come over now. I hope you won’t regret it.” Henry hung up the phone after saying that.Although Lenard wasn’t able to resolve the matter properly, he had also gotten into trouble.And Henry isn’t the type to watch his people suffer.Since Lenard was already his subordinate, he could not just leave him t

My new boss is very wealthy. There will not be a situation that he would stop working and close down. He is….”Before Lenard could talk about Henry’s background, Lena interrupted him.“There’s no need. I won’t consider jumping ship anyway.” she said slyly.“If you want us to go to the top entertainment company in the industry, then it’s possible. Not some small broken company.” Anna said seriously.“Lenard! Are you trying to frame us!?” Katherine screamed at him.“C’mon, teachers! I’m not. He is…”They didn’t allow him to finish before cut him off.“Enough! You don’t have to say anything. Since we are all colleagues, we won’t report her. You can leave now.” Lena waved her han

    They were choosing girls according to June, Chelsea, Jen and the rest standards.But these standards were just too high. How could ordinary girls be compared to June or Jen?At least, they were among the top ten most beautiful girls in the Marian university.This was not for ordinary beauties.They felt even June’s beauty was just too high that no one could compare to her.When Benny and Jordan went back to the entertainment company, they got to meet Tammy and Lenard.When the two boys saw Tammy, their jaws dropped and they couldn’t stop drooling about how pretty she was.Her skin looked smooth and white like snow.Her proportions could make any man go crazy.Even her voice was enchanting.Although, she couldn’t be compared to June’s ethereal beauty, she was close.They all gave Henry a round of applause for scouting such a rare beauty.After getting acquainted with the new faces, they discussed matters on the opening of the entertainment company.“Henry, I should have registered the

    As the only five-star hotel in Marian, it was the hotel most wealthy people visited.The daily turn-up was over one million dollars.If they should postpone the reopening for a whole year, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of the hotel.Although, Henry did not care about the profits he would get from the hotel, it was still his property and it would be unreasonable to loose money.Henry instructed his driver to take them to the Eden house.That was also the location of the entertainment company.When they arrived, Lenard could not believe his eyes.“This was where the entertainment company was located?” Lenard said to himself.He thought this place looked sloppy and looked like a club house.In his heart, he began to regret that he had accepted henry’s offer to work for his entertainment company.Even though Henry was indeed a very rich young man, this entertainment company was just too shabby.He was even thinking of going back to his former company.“Boss, ehrm… is your ente
