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
By their feet was a half-drunk bottle of alcohol.Alexander’s eyes widened.He was already annoyed that the person’s negligence towards their job had already eating up his time and if that wasn’t enough, here they were doing this at such early hours of the day.Alexander frowned and, just then, the salesperson noticed that he wasn’t the only one there.He quickly looked In Alexander’s direction and was alarmed by the sight of Alexander whose height and body frame made him seem quite intimidating.But then, the salesperson took into consideration that Alexander was wearing a suit and looked very responsible so that calmed him down enough to not act out in a panic.“Can I help you?” the salesperson asked.Alexander looked at the name tag on his uniform vest and said “Yes, I want to fill up my tank and I can’t because it’s prepaid so can you go to your station like you’re supposed to and do your job so that I can pay and leave?”The salesperson looked at Alexander from head to toe then h
Because of the possession system, nothing of Alexander’s could be stolen. No matter how much anybody tried and is successful in doing so at first, the moment Alexander finds out, he can just call back all his money and they would appear in his account.With that said, it didn’t mean that it wouldn’t be an annoying hassle if someone tried.To eliminate any potential future stress of trying to get his money back, Alexander said “Cash” “Okay. You’re three hundred and sixty dollars please” the salesman said, stretching his hand to receive the money. Alexander who still wasn’t buying his niceness brought out one bundle from his suit, the same one he had given the room service waiter a tip from, then he counted three hundred and sixty dollars and gave it to the salesman. The salesman put the money in the cash register and created a ticket that was a token of the exact amount.“Here you go,” the salesman said as he dropped the prepaid ticket on the counter and pushed it towards Alexander.
After Alexander finished fueling his tank with gas and returned the nozzle to the machine, he threw the ticket on the ground and got into the car.He called out the system, asking it for the route to Scholar Academy.[As Mr. Alexander Curry wishes][Downloading the route to Scholar Academy into Mr. Alexander Curry’s mind][Progress: 1%… 10%… 17%… 29%… 53%… 71%… 80%… 92%… 100%][Download complete]“Got it,” Alexander said and the messages from the system vanished.He ignited the engine and then revved it a little bit, forcing more fuel to be absorbed because the tank had been on the edge of going dry when he drove into the gas station.The hand on the fuel gauge went from the red to green within seconds and it put a smirk on the young multimillionaire’s face.The lack of fuel was why Alexander didn’t choose to go to a different gas station when the system told him about the bad customer service reviews it found online about The Ocean gas station.He wasn’t sure he had enough fuel to ge
Scholar Academy was a school surrounded by a gated fence. The fence was built from bricks and the gate was a massive black cast iron ninety-degree inward swing gate that prevented any form of unauthorized access into the school.Unauthorized access also included visual access.This meant that it was more of a metallic door than anything else and there was no space, minus the joints where the edge of the gate and fence met, for someone to see inside the school.The gate was also tens of meters away from the school building and Alexander parked in front of it and honked his horn.If the gatekeeper wasn’t aware of his awareness before, he surely was now.A couple of seconds later and Alexander heard the personnel part of the gate, which is the side meant for people to walk through, get unlocked, and then he saw the gatekeeper come out.The gatekeeper paused momentarily, surprised by the sight of the Lamborghini parked in front of the gate and his surprise was warranted because that type
Alexander rolled down the passenger door window.“Excuse me!” Alexander called out and managed to grab the the gatekeeper’s attention.“Huh?” The gatekeeper hunched a little and looked at Alexander through the passenger window“Can you come closer for a moment?” Alexander gestured with one hand while the other was inside his suit’s inner pocket.The gatekeeper stood up and looked left and right with a confused expression.“I’m talking to you and no one else so please come here for a moment” Alexander said and the gatekeeper grimaced at him.He sluggishly walked up to the open passenger door window and lowered himself to be face to face with Alexander.“Yes?” The gatekeeper asked, obviously annoyed by how his interaction with Alexander had gone.“I like to apologize for how I spoke to you earlier. My behavior towards you wasn’t appropriate for someone who was just trying to do his job” Alexander said and the gatekeeper’s eyes widened.He couldn’t believe that someone like Alexander who
