The moment Alexander took his first bite, he realized just how famished he was and from that moment he dug his spoon into the food, he didn’t stop until he was done. It wasn’t only because of the reading he had done but the amount at which his body had grown within the past two days had caused his body’s natural caloric consumption levels to increase significantly and anytime he had food in front of him, he just had to stuff his face until he was satiated.Unfortunately, the food he ordered wasn’t enough to do that. Looking at his almost empty plate, Alexander thought ‘No wonder I was able to finish all those many dishes Mr. Foster gave me yesterday when every experience I’ve had eating told me that it was too much.’Alexander placed his hand on his stomach and though it wasn’t as much as before because he was currently eating, he could still feel the rumblings of hunger.‘At this rate, I’m going to have to order room service just to curb this hunger’ he grimaced.Alexander clenched
The minutes, after Alexander changed into the hotel robe and kept his clothes meant for the next day, went by really fast. Just as was promised by the person he talked to when he called the room service line, his room door was knocked on.“Room service!” The person on the other side of the door said and then waited for a response. “Gimme a moment, I’ll be right there” Alexander replied then got up from the bed he had been sitting on and watching television.He fetched the television remote from his robe’s pocket and lowered the volume until it had gotten to a level where the sound of what was being shown wouldn’t interfere with his soon-to-be-had interaction with the person outside his room.He threw the remote on the bed, went to the table to grab the room’s keycard, and then went to unlock the door for the room service waiter who came to deliver his food.Instead of opening the door the moment he got to it, Alexander first looked through the peephole to see if the person who had k
As expected of the Sam’s Hotel chefs, every meal Alexander ate was very delicious and he devoured them one after the other.Because of the exam he had the next day, Alexander couldn’t drink anything with alcohol in it, and that also included wine which was unfortunate because the meals would have been elevated with the combination of a tasty glass of wine.Alexander stuck with juice and water.He finished eating in a third of the time the room service waiter had said he would come to take what was left of the order which meant that Alexander finished everything on the tray in fifteen minutes. “Now, that was delicious.” He said then patted his overly tight stomach.“I hope that was enough to replenish all the nutrients my body had used to grow this big and strong ‘cause I definitely do not want to eat like that ever again,” Alexander said then took a deep breath and sighed.Because Alexander felt extremely stuffed, he leaned back and rested on the chair then he started taking in the v
The next morning came around and instead of his alarm going off, Alexander was woken up in another and rather unusual way.[It’s time to wake up, Mr. Alexander][Mr. Alexander, it’s time to wake up][You’re going to be late if you keep sleeping]The system sent Alexander a barrage of messages which because his eyes were closed, he couldn’t see them. However, they were still effective because each message came with a special type of sound when it popped up.Now, that sound was bombarded into Alexander’s ears and mind so he had no choice but to wake up.The moment Alexander woke up, the system got rid of all the messages that it had sent to wake him up.[Good morning, Mr. Alexander]“Good morning system. What time is it?” Alexander asked, squinting and rubbing his eyes. [The time is 6:59 am]Immediately after Alexander finished reading the message, the alarm from his phone, which was on the table next to the keycard, went off.[Correction, the time is 7:00 am]Alexander groaned and the
[“Long story short, sorry for not answering when you called”] Victoria said.Alexander chuckled.“It’s no problem. Anyway, I realize that the reason why you called is to talk about the promise of donation I made yesterday, right?” Alexander asked.Suddenly, he heard Victoria laugh.[“Not at all, Mr. Alexander”]Alexander who was taken aback by being wrong jolted.“It wasn’t? I’m sorry but if that wasn’t the case then what other business could we have with one another—?” Alexander asked but she cut him off.[“The reason I called is because I wanted to wish you a wonderful goodnight and hope you sleep well”] “Oh,” Alexander grimaced “Oh. That was unexpected”[“Don’t get me wrong, I would still like to remind you of the promise you made but I trust that you will keep your word. From what you said, it wasn’t intentional that you didn’t send the money yesterday, or else you wouldn’t even have called back when you saw that you missed my call”]Victoria was right. Alexander had nothing to g
Alexander left the room with his phone, car keys, and hotel room keycard and went downstairs.From the distance, he saw Tessa in her workstation, and knowing what he had done the night before, he smirked. “Good morning Tessa” In a playful manner, he greeted the receptionist who seemed absent-minded, something that was out of character for her.“Oh, Mr. Alexander. Good morning” she greeted back.Alexander grimaced.“That’s the first time. What? You didn’t notice me coming?” Alexander asked.Tessa became embarrassed.“Sorry about that sir, I was distracted is all”Alexander raised a brow.“You? Distracted? I didn’t think that was possible” From all the multiple interactions he’d had with her, Tessa had shown herself to be very alert to her surroundings, but for a reason, she wasn’t today.“Yeah, me neither. I was able to get this job because I have a high level of focus and awareness, especially when I’m in the place of business but this time I—“ she said then paused.All of a sudden
Alexander stepped out of the hotel and was greeted by Paul and Raymond. At first, Alexander was surprised to see Raymond because the young valet was nowhere to be seen the day before when he had come out of the hotel at a very similar time, but Alexander was quick to shrug it off.“Going out very early again, sir?” Paul asked. “Yeah. I have something very important to do” Alexander said then from the pocket with which he had stuffed his hand, he brought out the car keys.“Here you go” he tossed the key to Paul.Alexander had an idea of what the deal made between both valets for who gets to drive his car was like.According to the deal, since Raymond had driven the car last, the turns would be swapped and Paul gets to be the next one to drive the car.Even if they scheduled that one person gets to park the car and the other gets to fetch it from the parking lot, the outcome remained the same as with both types of deal, Paul was the next person meant to drive Alexander’s car.“Thank y
Alexander came to a stop in front of a traffic light and just like all the other cars behind him, waited for it to turn red which was a perfect time for what he was about to do next.“Whatever the case is, it doesn’t matter to me 'cause as long as the gas is good and I can get it into my car, I don’t care what they do. That would be different if they purposely try to mess with me, but for their sake, they better not”[You don’t have time to go on any other side missions Mr. Alexander.][Not if you don’t want to miss enrolling into your new High School ‘Scholars Academy’]Alexander read the message and chuckled.“Yeah. Not in the mood of repeating all that fiasco of yesterday” Alexander said then cleared his throat.He looked at the traffic light and it had been enough seconds for it in the red that it would soon start to change to yellow and then green, but before that happened, he had just one more thing to do.“Since it’s decided that we’re going to The Ocean gas station, system, ac
