While the manager resolved to work on Henry’s transaction papers, Regina was at a corner, too shocked to speak. A few moments later, Cindy came hurrying toward Henry with a rag. She had tied an apron that Henry had seen with one of the janitors. Cindy stood before Henry with a nervous smile. “I’ve cleaned up all the stains and I can guarantee that there are no more stains.”Henry nodded and threw something at her. Cindy caught it. It was a hundred dollars. “Just a tip.” He said. “Thank you for your hard work.”Cindy couldn’t utter a word. She was completely embarrassed by Henry’s tip and when she lifted her head, she saw the way her coworkers were gawking at her. She presented the money back to Henry. “I don’t want this.”“Everyone, get back to work,” Cindy instructed the senior staff. The staff went about their duties while Regina lingered around the staircase, waiting for the manager. Henry didn’t take the money. He leaned on the counter and asked. “Then what do you want?”To
Henry mounted the driver’s seat of his new car and threw his bag pack in the back seat. He started the car and drove straight to school then he swerved down to the dormitory. When Henry drove to the front of his dormitory, the area was almost empty. Only a few people were walking around. It was past 10 pm. Henry grabbed his back, locked the car, and went to his dorm room after parking it. When Henry stepped into the room, all his roommates were asleep, he dumped his bag on the bed, took a hot bath, and retired for the night. ****Henry pressed his eyes against each other and slowly opened them. His eyes caught the ray of sunlight penetrating the room through the open window but it was not what awakened him. He was woken up by a loud noise. Berry was beside Henry’s bed. He began to use all his strength to force Henry to wake up. “Get up. You have to see something.”“Don’t push me too hard, Berry. You’re making me dizzy.” Henry cried out. He sat up and rubbed his eyes with the back
The boys made their way into the dormitory with arms around each other’s shoulders. They took their baths in a hurry, got dressed up, and came running out.“I’m sitting right next to Henry in front,” Berry said, going ahead of the group. He quickly pulled out his phone and threw it at Dalton. “I need you to take pictures of me.”Henry’s phone began to ring. He moved to a corner to respond to the call and two minutes after he left, some group of boys showed up and were hovering like flies around his car.“Why are you guys surrounding my car?” Berry cried out rudely.Some of the students who were just acquainted with the car quickly moved away on the assumption that Berry was the owner of the car while the ones who knew him were quick to mock him.“Berry, I never knew that you could act so pretentiously.” Someone said.The others laughed.“Get away from my car. I don’t want losers around my property.” Berry maintained while trying to shoo them with his hands.Jacob and Dalton exchanged
Henry drove the car outside the school perimeter and took the straight path ahead. Apart from Jean, the other girls were also analyzing the situation, wondering whether the car was Henry’s since he was behind the wheel.“Whose car is this?” Courtney asked.“It’s Henry’s car,” Berry replied proudly.“What?” the girls exclaimed except Jean.Jacob was feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart. His family had not bought him a car yet and even if they do, it won’t be a luxurious car like Henry’s. He felt more uncomfortable when he realized that Aida seemed elated.“Henry!” Aida called out. “Did you win a lottery?”Henry gave a half smile, said nothing, and took a sharp turn.Berry turned to Aida. “You think that this is lottery money? That won’t be enough. Let me tell you, Henry has tens of millions.”Henry wished he could get Berry to shut up. Perhaps, sharing the information about his identity with Berry was a bad idea.The girls looked stunned.When Aida looked at Henry from the back, sh
When Rufus pushed open the door that led into the suite he had reserved for the group, everyone felt like they had entered the Garden of Eden. The entire surrounding gave the feeling of a natural forest and the plants stood tall like a bamboo forest. Cute white rabbits were running on the grass and right in front of everyone was a lake.None of them had ever thought that there was a suite like an island in Star Moon. There was a huge table in the center of the room carved out of the finest Amazon wood. The room was surrounded by a transparent glass wall. From the lake, one could see the city because the suite was at the top of the skyscraper.It was a typical paradise on earth and everyone was shocked. After a long time, they began to cry out, exclaiming over the beauty of the suite. Rufus was pleased by the looks on their faces. His whole aim was to please Henry and his friends and it was working.Rufus then cleared his throat loudly and they all turned toward him. “The conditions h
“What are you guys talking about?” Aida asked after taking an aggressive bite from her red apple.Jean took a sip from her warm milk. “Ancient clothes.” She crossed her legs.Courtney sat by the edge of the enormous bouncy bed. “What’s so good about ancient clothes anyway?”Jean wanted to reply but Aida was already speaking.“Since there’s a lake here, I was wondering if you could come with us to have fun.” She turned in the direction of the boys and darted her gaze back to Henry with a smile. “Your friends seem to enjoying breakfast so maybe we should have fun in the lake.”Courtney took over. “Yes. Since it’s easy to get anything here, you can just have the servants bring us some bikinis.”Jean grabbed a plate of berries.Meanwhile, Dalton could hear the girls and he was irked by the fact that Aida and Courtney wanted Henry to see them in bikinis.“There’s no need. I no longer have time for the lake.” Henry smiled.Dalton let out a chuckle.Henry fixated his gaze on Jean. “I think y
“Are you crazy? Can’t you watch you’re going?”When Henry lifted his head, he saw a middle-aged man gawking at him. It was the man he had bumped into. The man’s ferocious eyes felt like sharp knives on Henry’s body.As far as Henry was concerned, the man was at fault because he left the door to the restroom open. The man began to hurl insults at Henry and when Henry tried to ignore him and walk past, the man wouldn’t move away.The middle-aged man was drunk.“Shut the fuck up. Your mouth stinks.” Henry fired back.“Fuck!” the man yelled. His eyes were bloodshot and they looked as if he had been drinking all year round.The man clenched his fist and threw a punch at Henry but unfortunately, he had been drinking so his stamina was in no way compared to Henry’s. Henry moved away and the helpless punch landed in thin air.Before the man could reinforce another punch, Henry bent his upper body and kicked the man on the tummy with his knee. The man bent over like a shrimp and tried to stret
As far as Bella knew, Coral Group is worth about 30 billion dollars. How could Henry get the CEO of such a huge company in such a cruel situation?Henry turned to the chief guard. “Seize that man and break his legs and as for that woman.” He looked at Bella with a malicious stare. She instantly fell to her knees and began to beg. “Henry, I’m so sorry. I swear to God if you let me go, I would never provoke you.”While the guards grabbed Bella’s godfather, he wouldn’t shut up. “You dared to arrest the CEO of Coral Group? Who are you?” the man was shocked and angry. The man went on shouting but the security guards did not care. Since Henry had given the orders, they swung into action. The man and his bodyguards were bundled and forced to the ground.Henry towered before the man. “You don’t deserve to know who I am. You just have to know that I’m someone you can’t mess with.” He was about to leave when he turned around with his index finger raised. “Also, tell Mathew to enjoy the last
