“Here you go” the bouncer returned the keycard to its rightful owner. “Thank you” Alexander replied as he kept the keycard in his pocket. He looked at the bouncer who had blocked his path when he first arrived and saw that the man was ashamed about what he did. “If you’ll excuse me,” Alexander said then walked through the group of bouncers, heading for the entrance of the hall, and finally walked in. “Woah” Alexander commented when he saw how beautiful and well decorated the place was. The sight alone let him know that whoever was getting married had put a considerable amount of money into the event which could only mean that they were insanely rich. Just renting the Sam’s Hotel hall was five hundred thousand dollars then the decorations plus the workmanship for the interior designer had to have been somewhere between three hundred and fifty thousand to four hundred thousand dollars. However, all that is chump change for Alexander who was rearing his way into billionaire stat
Once things with the system were ready, Alexander focused on the two ladies.“It’s strange you had something like that on you when coming to a wedding but I guess it was for the best because it’s coming in handy now,” Grave said, sighing in relief.She knew she couldn’t walk long distances or else risk the heel giving out, so she either had to stand still and wait for Alexander to go get the glue and return with it or she’d have to take off her shoe and walk barefoot which would be embarrassing.“So, where is the glue?” Laurel asked, just like Grace thiking that the gorilla glue was on Alexander.“It’s in my room. I’ll just go get it and return quickly.” Alexander said, disappointing both ladies who then thought that that made more sense.He was about to leave but then Laurel interrupted.“I think I should go with you,” she said and Alexander looked at her with a face that asked her why she wanted to do that.She looked at Grace for support and her friend too had the same expression a
“How long do you think your friend is going to take before he returns?” Laurel asked Grace who blushed bashfully.“He’s not my friend” she retortedLaurel rolled her eyes “I know. I know. You want him to be something more but don’t forget that you’re older than him”“I don’t think I’m that older. No matter how old he is, as long as he’s of legal age, being twenty-two myself shouldn’t be a big deal” Grace said defensively.“One day, one week, one month, or even one year, there’s no difference in my eyes. As long as I’m older than the guy, the thought of a relationship forming becomes nonexistent but whatever floats your boat I guess” Laurel said.Grace rolled her eyes and shook her head in disappointment.“Talk like that is why you’re going to end up alone with your cats. As for me, as long as the guy has a mature mindset, I don’t see anything wrong with being in a relationship. Anyway, none of what we’re talking about matters if he isn’t interested in me or he isn’t single” “Whateve
Grace blushed because seeing Alexander on one knee made it look like he was proposing to her while holding the shoe he was about to wear her made her feel like she was Cinderella.“Okay,” Grace replied then took her foot out of the flipflop and wore the shoe.She did the same for the other foot, Laurel helping out so her friend doesn’t fall and everything went back to normal.“What are we going to do about these?” Grace asked, talking about the flipflop.Alexander carried them, stood up, and stretched them to her.“You can have them”“What? I can?” Grace asked “Yeah. Even though I did as good a job as I possibly could, let’s not forget that this is a temporary fix. In case the unfortunate happens, you should have something you can wear instead of walking barefoot which as you’ve already said is very embarrassing” Grace’s eyes widened in surprise.“That’s very nice of you,” Laurel said.“Thank you” Alexander gave her a charming smile.Laurel looked at her friend who seemed frozen the
Because Alexander had packed all his clothes before attending the wedding the day before, there was nothing for him to arrange when he woke up. He had gotten back the clothes he gave the hotel’s laundry department for dry cleaning after returning from the wedding then he arranged them in his suitcase in preparation for today.Lastly, he had taken care of every loose end he had left after returning from the wedding. From contacting Laura on behalf of Gift and setting up a meeting with designer Gustav who was visiting the shop sometime in the week, to sending the money to Victoria for the orphanage. Once at the door with his suitcase and duffle bag of money, wearing the clothes he had set aside for his departure, Alexander took one last look at his room and smiled.“Thanks for being my home for the past few days,” he said then opened the door.To his surprise, he saw Grace standing in front of his room, and looked like she was just about to knock on his door.“Grace?” Alexander said.
Normally, before permanently moving from one country to another, a car owner would take their car to a moving company that’ll ship it overseas to their new address.However, because of the possession system, all Alexander needed to do was park it somewhere and call for it with the system’s retrieval feature. Once he does that, the car would vanish from wherever he left it and appear anywhere close to him.With that in mind, Alexander drove straight to the airport and parked at the parking lot.He walked into the airport with his luggage in both hands and went to the ticket area to buy a ticket to his new destination. He would have liked to fly first class, but because of how late it was when he was buying the ticket, there wasn’t any first-class ticket left. Fortunately, there was one business class ticket available and without a second thought, he got that.Once purchased, Alexander waited for when his flight was going to be boarding and got in line when it was time.It took a whil
The name of the city in which Wellstone College was located was Bay Central City and it was a very expensive city at that.Alexander’s journey involved two connecting flights before finally making it to Bay Central City in the dead of night.Once landed, all the passengers came out of the plane feeling incredibly tired and jet lagged, except for Alexander whose bodily stats were so high that he did not feel the weight of his flight.While everyone moved sluggishly, Alexander walked as he’s always done, energetically to where his luggage was and waited a couple of minutes for them to come out before picking them up.He rolled his suitcase outside the airport and was immediately surrounded by a bunch of taxi drivers who wanted to take him wherever he wanted to go.“Come this way, sir! I’ll take you to your destination quickly and you won’t even know that the car is moving.” one driver said.“No, sir, choose my service. I can see that everyone from your flight is super tired so I’ll prio
Alexander made it to the Tempest Hotel in quick time, and just like his first time lodging in the Sam’s Hotel, he was given a list of the different tiers the rooms were under. Also, just like Sam’s hotel, he chose the highest tier they had.However, unlike the Sam’s hotel, he was able to pay for his stay with his debit card and once lodged in, he took his luggage to his room by himself.He didn’t do what he did back at the Sam’s Hotel where he was first given a tour by a staff of the hotel to find a room he liked and kept his luggage there before returning to the reception to pay for lodging. He just paid once told the price and without even seeing what the room looked like.The reason for that is that the standard the system had used to find hotels he would stay in was the comfort he experienced at the Sam’s hotel, so he knew for a fact that the rooms in the tier he chose would be great.Besides, he planned on only spending the night so he didn’t have as many criteria as back at the
