As Christopher lay stretched out on his bed, his hands crossed behind his head and his eyes staring wondrously at the ceiling, the sound returned. He was not startled, he was far too used to the system that he serves by now. Another interface is about to occur and another task is yet to be rolled out and assigned to him.[Ding]"What's up this time?"Christopher muttered below his breath, turning reluctantly over to his right side and swallowing as if it enhanced his readiness for the system.[Attention, there's a need for the host to listen carefully]. Christopher adjusts his body just when he hears this, once more as though a personal contribution for attention to the already calm atmosphere.[Host has two other new tasks to complete][Host is required to click two options rather than one option this time]Christopher pays rapt attention to the system's instructions. As usual, he knew he would have to click on the dark mysterious button, but this time, two buttons at a time as he had
“Chris! Chris!” A male voice is calling out after him. Gerald runs at full speed after Christopher, who is already way out of sight towards the school hall.Catching up with Christopher, Gerald gallops to a halt and calls out again. "Chris!, wait!" We need to get a cab to the site. "We were out for a meal with Kelly and his girlfriend when the thugs came. I have no idea where they came from.""So, where are they now?" Christopher asks with more concern, and his left eye twitches. Looking down his left arm for a moment, he clenches his left fist to reveal his muscular arm. "I've no idea," Gerald responds blankly."I was only out with the duo to have my share of friendship, and in a millisecond, they were bundled up into a white Ferrari, and in another flash, it had already sped off."What could have been the reason for the embarrassing abduction of someone of Kelly's successful pseudo-calibre? Christopher wonders, lifting his head, trying to think out a solution fast to bring Silver, e
At home, Silver is sobbing hard in her bathroom."Oh goodness gracious, I believed Kelly would be my everything; how dare he allow those stinky rogues to lay their forbidden hands on me?" Arrrrrrrr” Silver lets out another big scream while replaying how the thugs mishandled her in batches of flashes through her head.In a very disgusted state, Silver tries to remove her scattered hair from her face. She turns to peer into the mirror to see the greatest shock of her life. She lets out another scream, and fresh tears start to pour again."I can't believe that Kelly is good for nothing, asshole; his immunity and power in the town are false; he cannot protect himself, let alone his girlfriend." I trusted him with my whole self, Silver said stupidly. Silver cannot bear the weight of shame that her boyfriend's carelessness has brought upon her. "How shameful; that was a disgrace!" Silver says, almost bursting into another scream."I must call Clara and tell her.Silver grunts amid sobs. The
"Silver ?""Yes, handsome?" Silver responds with a seductive voice, trying to be alluring with her smile as much as possible.Silver is dressed in a thigh-length, hot red mini-sleeveless gown, exposing her shapely, sumptuous legs and curves. A silver necklace hangs on her neck, and this draws attention to her models like collar bone and full blossom. Her long, black, lush hair partly covers her face, and she makes a feminine effort to dress it aside. She wears magenta lipstick, and the dangerously seductive fragrance of her perfume quickly hit Christopher's nostrils once she walked in. She walks slowly towards Christopher in six-inch shiny silver heels, in the most torturous way a woman could be. Each meander towards Christopher made his eyes dazzle. She's sexy; he cannot deny the fact.Even though Christopher is moved by his ex-girlfriend's sexiness, he is still firm in his discretion."What brings you here? Why do you barge into my room without knocking first?" Christopher questions
"Tell me what this business proposal is about."[System receiving host's question][System processing host question][Host question interpreted][The proposal is a business idea pitch, which the host must partake in.][There will be an evaluation team that will decide the validity of the host business idea.][Hosts should look for hints for success and grab opportunities once sighted.]The three huge dots now appear before Christopher knows what to do.[The host should select an option and save us time.][Whatever the host selects will determine the complexity of the assignment.]Christopher braces up and clicks on the first black square dot.[Congratulations! The host has just selected a sophisticated proposal option.][The host will be pitching a great idea to people of high social ranks.][The host has five business days to complete the project submission.][Interface over][Host retreating to space][Ding!]"People of high caliber?" "Okay". Christopher shrugs. He continues with hi
“You see, there's an upcoming mega proposal pitching event that had been in the government's plan for months ago now.The plan is to invite business-minded individuals to pitch their ideas and get endorsements from investors and other forms of funding. However,there are selected niches that will be qualified for funding and investment, and any participant that pitches an idea from unincluded industries will not be qualified.”"How did you know so much about the business proposal event, Dad?“Have you forgotten that the rich must look for sustainable ways to get richer, my son? You seem to really underrate my influence and capacity," Mr. Frank said in a bass voice, and his bold laugh sounded rather like croaking."I know so many powerful officials in government; don't forget. I would have even bought the plan and saved myself the stress of guessing what the winning industries would be this year, but the secretary to the office lamented that the present governor is a no-nonsense man who
"You?" Lawrence squealed, pointing a finger at Frank, after they had both submitted their confused proposals."What are you doing here?" A loud bass laugh escapes from Frank's throat."I'm here for just the same reason as you are, boy.” He said with his voice, even more thickened by disdain."What more can you do, Hun? I got my son back, but your men had injured him. That was not our agreement, and you broke the oath. You should steer clear of me and my son; otherwise, I will have to expose you and your dirty deeds to the world. I will tell the authorities how you were a human trafficker, with plausible proof. You are tall for nothing, coward!""How dare you call me a coward?” Then a ridiculous thought strikes Lawrence."But you know I have done better than a woman would have, scaring you out of your wits and dealing ruthlessly with your boy, yeah? A smile akin to venom mixed with ridicule hangs on Lawrence's face.Christopher walks into the premises, and Frank makes rubbish of Lawren
"Hello, young lady." Lorraine welcomes Stella, who is about her son Kelly's age. "How do you do?"."I am well, ma'am.".The two ladies quickly get acquainted with each other and cooperate to care for the ill Kelly.“Mr. Frank has employed me as his personal assistant since you traveled."."Oh, I see," Lorraine stated with confirmation of her ex-husband's dependent attitude in her mind."He can't do things by himself; he has to always call on another human being; even a crucial skill such as nourishing one's self is left in his case in the hands of someone else!" All these Lorraine said under her breath, keeping a serious facial expression, and loud enough for both her father and personal assistant to hear. Kelly and Frank can instantly decode Lorraine's communication, while Stella is left to wonder for minutes what the side comment was.Kelly is done clearing a plate of garnished chicken soup and leisurely eating an apple when Dr.Bernard returns into the room to give Kelly his last do
