It took them a while to recover from the shock that ran through the hall. Mrs. Lewis's eyes brightened.She had seen a lot of rich men streaming into the place, but someone who could afford such an amount in a blink meant that he had his network running into millions.For the first time, she recognized his face.Thoughts were already running through her mind. He had the perfect structure that could pass for a Greek god.The perfect shape and a handsome face. All those years, her stares were only directed at how well dressed he was, and she never noticed how handsome she looked.She liked him immediately.She pushed through a smile as she walked forward towards him, pushing all her features out so that he was going to notice."I wish that you really knew that I could read your thoughts." There was a dark smile behind the emotionless expression that was written all over his face."Come with me, sir; I will make things ready immediately." She said,Following her closely from behind, Chri
At first, there was silence in the place, followed by a thick outburst of laughter that flooded into the void of the night."Are you for real now?" They laughed even harder, clutching to their already aching stomachs."And who else do you think will have the potential to win this award, Mr. Know It All?" Henry inquired with a fake sense of aHe drew a really deep breath at first before he went ahead to say."It could be anyone. It could even be me." He responded swiftly.His next words sped off another round of epic laughter through the hall almost immediately."We aren't really ever going to be free from this delusional freak, are we?" Henry let out a cry of both mockery and despair."Just take a good look at yourself. Do you even feel that you are worthy enough to lick the dust of the person who won the award?" Gerald added to the words.Christopher wished that he could tell them the worth of the person that was sitting right before them, but he knew that there was no need for that.
Christopher thought about it for a while, but he knew that human life mattered more than any other task.Drawing his last breath, he shot a quick stare at the resident and back to the direction of the sound.He had already made his decision as he turned away from the building in the direction of the sound.As he walked, the way that he led seemed to go darker and steeper, sending cold chills of fear down his spine.His heart was beating so loudly that the sound of it was rising up to his ears.Finally, he got to a really deserted area and caught a lady in the company of two other men who were already losing the tie around their belts.Streams of sweat flooded from her eyes almost immediately as she continued to plead, but they would not listen to a single word that she had to say."Shut up, your bitch!" They growled at her, giving her a slap on the face.Christopher carefully assessed the situation; they were armed, but it was not too heavy. Just a dagger and a pocket knife.But he kn
Eric's face was hot red with anger, while as for Christopher, he was already fed up for the day and not ready to take any shit from anyone. Eric raised his head and took a glance at him from his head to his toe. He didn't even look like someone who had any prominent social status. Eric thought that there was certainly no way that he would be able to get the company. "You think I am here for children's play? What are you trying to do? To mock me or something." He gloated. "Can you even afford three square meals daily to talk less about acquiring a company?" He continued. "Says someone who could not manage a company and wanted to sell it off?" Christopher responded. There, hate and anger between the two of them brewed even more. Just then, a cracking sound came from the door that seemed to avert their hateful glares for a while. A lady walked through the door, and, pairing further in her direction, Christopher was hit by the sudden sense of recognition. "Sister. Where have you b
Eric rushed down to the phone and snapped it off from the hands of Rachael."What did you just say?" He inquired once again, wanting to hear the words for himself."Sir, I said we just got a transfer of about one hundred thousand dollars. Is there a problem?" Her voice seemed worried from the other end.He opened up his mouth to speak, but his words soon broke out into stutters, and he ended the call on the spot.Now his gaze was fixed on Christopher, as nobody knew what to do or say. Eric opened his mouth to speak again, but words failed him almost immediately."Now that it's been confirmed, can we go ahead with the process so that you will stop wasting my time? I don't have much of it to spare." He said that, and Eric nodded his head swiftly."We would do just that." Eric was finally able to hide the shame and embarrassment that clouded his mind.He pulled away from the point where he was standing while Rachael went ahead to entertain him.She was gradually recovering from the shock
There was no harm in making friends, so he gave her his card, after which he got into the Uber, and they blew off.It was already running late since it took a lot of time before the stuff could be prepared.The next point of call was his dorm. Even though the place seemed awkward, that was the only place that he could rest his head.He was thinking about getting a house on campus soon enough so that he was going to live a more comfortable life from now on.He decided to tear open the school's group chat and see what was going on there. As usual, Kenny was the center of attention there.They discussed the forthcoming convocation, where the prom king and queen were going to be revealed."This year is not going to be that interesting since we already know the winners of the cause."Meanwhile, a few pictures popped right before him, and looking at the person who posted them, he could already tell that they were silver.The pictures were the ones that she had taken with her new boyfriend.
The panel that only he could see appeared right before him once again.There was a sudden flinch in his facial expression as he waited patiently for the task to load.[Accept a business deal and get a new set of clothes.][ Task duration: Twenty-four hours.][ Reward for this task: Host would get a total of one VIP point and the amount used to accomplish the task would be doubled.][ System Notes: Notification would be issued once each step of the task is completed to always keep the host alert.][ System Navigation closed \\ Countdown for task begins //Twenty-three hours, fifty-nine minutes, fifty-five seconds left for the task to be accomplished ]A broad smile hovered on the face of Christopher as he read the task. He was already planning to get a new set of clothes in the first place even before the system made mention of it.As for the business partnership, even though he had mixed feelings about it, he was going to accept it anyway, at least, he was going to get some results fo
But just as he was about to spit out another word from his mouth, he heard footsteps from behind him, making him turn around slowly.A smallish sales attendant with triangle-framed glances and a broad smile walked gradually towards him.Her steps seemed disorganized as she was trying hard to maintain her professionalism. But even with all her efforts, he could see through her.She was nervous.The other sales agents behind the desk paired up, and a long hiss escaped from their mouths.Willow was a new sales agent, even though she had been there for over three months. Unlike most of the other workers who had been there for years now,.In their words, she was inexperienced and was never going to make a sale, even if she continued with her attitude.By this, they meant selling off her body to richer clients. But she has dignity, and even though she needed the money for her family, especially for her sick mother, she was not going to sell her body.Even her mother would never want her dau
