Just like at the Gustav Emporium, both men came out of the car and headed into the jewelry store. This time, however, Alexander was the one who told the driver to come with him because he didn’t want to leave the man alone and risk him driving away to avoid carrying out his part of the deal.Not that it mattered now that Alexander had been given the new clause feature in his system.Because of how powerful the system was, no matter where the driver goes to hide from taking up his side of the deal, Alexander could still take whatever possession he wanted from him. With that assurance, Alexander only told the driver once to go into the jewelry shop with him and the man did as told. The reason for this is that now that the man knew just how rich Alexander was, and money also equating to power, the driver felt powerless to challenge Alexander.Alexander had completely conquered the driver, and he didn’t even have to do much except spend his own money to buy something he wanted. The syste
Unfortunately, his antics of wanting to scare Alexander were to no avail. Instead, the young man glared back at him.“I was standing here when you three came, so either wait your turn or go somewhere else. As you can see, there are other salespeople with their eyes on you. I’m not a mind reader, but clearly they want you to go meet them”, Alexander said. Jerry placed his hand on Alexander’s shoulder, trying to assert himself. The only thing he could try and intimidate Alexander with was his muscles, as their heights were almost the same. However, because of the system, that could change with time.Jerry said “Listen here, brat. The boss doesn’t wait, especially for someone like you, so this is the second and last warning you’re ever going to get from me. Go home now, or I’ll make you regret ever standing in the boss’s way.”Alexander looked at Jerry’s hand on his shoulder, then he looked at Jerry. “Let me tell you this instead. Get your hand off me if you know what’s good for you or
Chapter 18Jerry dropped to the floor like a rag doll and everyone looked at Alexander with shock.“What the hell? Did that punk really just do that?” The gentleman said.He looked at Jerry on the floor and said “I can’t believe this bastard lost to a kid. How embarrassing.”He palmed his face.“Now, because he affiliated with me, I’ve also been embarrassed. Looks like I’ll fire the idiot when he wakes up, but I guess the time for that was coming anyway” he said, making sure Stacy heard because he wanted to impress her.He looked at Jeff and said “What are you doing just standing there? Take care of the brat and don’t disappoint me like your friend just did, or I’ll fire you too. I pay good money for your asses, but this is the nonsense I get in return. What a joke”Jeff nodded and stepped forward.“You’ve made a really big mistake, kid. Jerry went easy on you and that was an error on his part. I on the other hand, don’t care about just beating you up. I’ll make sure I send you to the
Allen grimaced.“What are you talking about? You asked me my name, and I was about to say it, but you cut me off before I could finish. You acted like you knew and were expecting me, so I thought nothing of it because this is my first time visiting my uncle, so in my mind he had told everyone about my coming”, Allen said, then looked at his uncle.“Uncle, what’s wrong with your staff? I thought she was good-looking, which is why I wanted to talk to her, but I didn’t know she was crazy”, Allen said. Stacy pulled away from Allen, saying “I’m not crazy.”She took a second to regain her bearings and come to terms with the fact that she had made a massive mistake, confusing Allen with Alexander.Once she had gotten herself, she cleared her throat.“Anyway, it doesn’t matter. What we should focus on is the fact that this bastard came into the store and caused a nuisance when we were expecting a very important customer. I was about to call the police to come pick him up, so I’ll just go ahe
“Are you really Alexander Curry?” Stacy asked Alexander, looking at him with slight doubt.Alexander was quiet for a moment then he shrugged and replied nonchalantly “What do you think?”It was then she realized, and immediately, her face became ridden with regret.“Fuck. You are him” Stacy mumbled then gulped.She looked at the manager and saw the increasing rage that loomed on his face then she looked at Alexander. “Mr. Alexander, I’m so sorry! It was an innocent mistake on my part. I didn’t know you were the Alexander Curry we’ve all been waiting for and I’ve unknowingly treated you poorly which is something you definitely do not deserve” Stacy said as she rushed to Alexander’s feet and started groveling. She looked up at Alexander’s eyes and the young man had a look of disgust.“Sir, I promise it was a simple mistake that anyone could have made. Please find it in your heart to forgive me—“ Stacy said but Alexander cut her off.“Did it matter?” He asked coldly.“Huh? Did what mat
Inside the car, the driver looked at Alexander through the rearview mirror and he was worried about how to talk to the young man. He didn’t want to upset the young multimillionaire more than he already was.Alexander noticed the stare and frowned. “What? Why do you keep looking at me?” Alexander asked.The driver’s eyes fidgeted and he gulped.“Umm, nothing. I just wanted to know what we should do next. Where am I taking you next? To the Del Monte Royale Casino straight away or home to get cleaned and changed into your new clothes?”Alexander stared at the man and tilted his head, not saying a word for a few short seconds which made the driver even more nervous.“Did I say anything wrong, sir?” The driver whose guilt was eating him up asked.Alexander chuckled then smirked and replied “I know what you’re trying to do but for your information, it won’t work” The driver cleared his throat.“And what is it I’m trying to do, sir?” He asked.“You’re trying to distract me so I forget abou
“This one. This right here is the perfect watch that’ll fit such a beautiful suit, sir” Charles said, bringing out the watch from the box and showing it to Alexander.“If you don’t mind, please give me your wrist, let’s try it on,” Charles said, unhooking the watch so that it could be worn.Alexander pulled his uniform sleeve high up his arm and then stretched his hand so that the wristwatch could be worn on him. Charles kept the wristwatch in place and Alexander slid his hand into it until it was around his wrist. Charles then helped him clip the hook and to no one surprise, it fitted Alexander perfectly.“The moment I saw the colors of this suit, I knew that nothing would fit it more perfectly than the Patek Philippe Nautilus. How do you like it, sir?” Charles who had been standing all this time asked and finally sat down, waiting on Alexander’s verdict. Alexander observed how the wristwatch looked and fit on his arm. It wasn’t too tight and it wasn’t too lax either. It was the pe
Charles laughed, drawing attention to himself. “What’s the use of being shy and embarrassed? If you want to know how much someone has, or more importantly, how they got their money then go ahead and just ask. Look at me. I was able to go from poverty to having my own jewelry business and that’s because I wasn’t shy to ask the right people the right question so don’t hold back your tongue” Charles said.The driver glared at him and said “Hey, here’s my own piece of advice and it goes like this; why don’t you mind your own business?! I mean, who even asked you for your input on my matter? As you can see, I’m doing well for myself so don’t talk to me like you know shit about my life” Surprised to get that type of response, Charles looked at Alexander and asked “What’s his problem?”Alexander chuckled and replied “Don’t mind him. He’s just angry because we made a deal and he lost” Charles furrowed his eyebrows, tilted his head, and crossed his arms.“What type of deal?” He asked.“The
