"Ten thousand dollars?" Sean furrowed his brows, looking confused by the situation before his eyes.William pointed at Albert. "That man said that if you meet me, I'll get the money." William, explained the situation that was going on."Mr. Anderson, what does this mean?" asked Sean, still unable to understand what was going on. He felt like he had just been caught up in a situation he didn't understand.William pulled the corners of his lips, forming a sardonic smile. "It's nothing. Just a small bet because we were waiting for you," he said, as if this was a normal thing.William then continued his words in a half-joking tone. "It's a good thing you came soon, otherwise I would have been recruited as Master Albert's slave."Hearing William's words, Sean looked shocked. He felt ashamed and angry at Albert's treatment of him. Without thinking, he turned to face Albert."How dare you say that, to Lucas Anderson's grandson!" snapped Sean, showing his anger and disappointment. He felt off
William tried to refuse as politely as possible. "Vera, you shouldn't. You don't need to bother delivering food for me," William said, hoping Vera would understand and not insist anymore. However, Vera seemed unwilling to be rejected so easily. She felt that she had to take responsibility for not wrapping the food for William. She thought William might just be embarrassed to tell her the address of his apartment."Just tell me where the address is, I'll come to your place," Vera said. She convinced William to tell her the address.William was silent for a moment, trying to figure out the best solution to this situation. He couldn't tell Vera his real address, but he also didn't want her to feel disappointed or disrespected. He had to think fast."I'm on Oakwood Street. I think we should meet nearby, if you go to my apartment, I'm afraid you'll be too far away," William said."I know that street. It's only fifteen minutes from my house," Vera replied, sounding pleased. "In that case, j
William was shocked by the situation. Vera was still trying to protect him, but he felt the need to take appropriate action.The bodyguards looked at William sharply, they saw the sign William gave from behind Vera. The bodyguard understood that he had to follow William's orders. He remained vigilant, but did not take any action.William continued signaling to them, for them to leave the place. He understood there was a misunderstanding and William would resolve it himself."Then, if you'll excuse us," the bodyguard said politely when he saw William. They all rushed into the car waiting nearby.After they left, the situation became quieter. Vera could breathe a sigh of relief. She took a moment to gather her thoughts to ask William about what happened.A moment later, Vera ruffled her loins emphatically."You suck!" she exclaimed in a rather high tone.William was still confused by Vera's reaction."Vera, what's going on?" asked William in a surprised tone.Vera, turned to look at Wil
William was on his way home, and it seemed that for this trip, he was still followed by his bodyguards. Arriving at a place that was somewhat quiet and safe from William's friends, they stopped the road and handed him a cell phone that was connected to his grandfather's personal assistant's call."Sir, prepare to join the servants we have prepared, your grandfather would like to invite you to dinner right now," said his grandfather's personal assistant.What! William was quite surprised to receive the news. He had just gotten food from Vera and it hadn't been touched at all!"Sir, come in. We will escort you to one of the boutiques here and there will also be stylists who will take care of the look or this evening to make it perfect for Mr. Lucas Anderson," said William's bodyguard."Oh my! What about this food?" William asked himself. There's no way his stomach can handle two menus at once!Ah, he might as well keep it. At least if he microwaves it, it'll be good for tomorrow morning
Vera launches her car through the streets of Chicago towards William's apartment. In the car, in the back seat, Sarah sits with a glum face. She mumbles to herself about William not having enough money to even pay for a taxi to go to the karaoke place. She was clearly frustrated with the situation.Vera heard Sarah's mumbling and felt the need to drown out her cousin's voice. With a quick movement, she grabbed a piece of gum from her bag and gave it to Sarah, hoping to shut her up.William was waiting out front and the man got into the car. Vera welcomed him and they drove straight to the karaoke place.The car then drove at a fairly high speed, passing through the city streets that were starting to get crowded on a weekend afternoon. The city is alive with people strolling on the sidewalks, the sound of music from bars and clubs, and the occasional honking of cars, until they arrive at "Harmony Echoes", a luxurious and prominent karaoke place in the city center.Vera parked her car i
"Oh, no thanks," William said, declining Vera's offer. He didn't want to burden Vera or anyone else there.Robert smiled with satisfaction. He really didn't want to treat William. For Robert, his money was too valuable to be used to treat William."I'll just have a burger afterwards," William said, trying to ease the tension."It's okay, Will," Vera said, still offering to treat William. "I'll treat you with my money.""Vera!" exclaimed Sarah. She didn't want Vera spending money to buy William food. Moreover, the man had no money to come here at all."What do you want too?" asked Vera to Sarah, still offering to buy. "I'll buy it for you."Sarah refused. "I'm here to protect you from him," Sarah said, insinuating William."Then take it easy. I still have enough money in my pocket," Vera said, trying to calm things down.Sarah could only roll her eyes. She felt frustrated by Vera's overly kind attitude."Never mind, don't worry," Robert said, trying to act like a hero. He saw this as a
The people who followed William turned out to be waiters who brought premium food for them. They seemed to be carrying a wide variety of delicacies that appeared to be very expensive.Sarah looked frozen, seemingly unable to believe what she was seeing. Vera looked shocked, she didn't expect that William could get this kind of luxurious service.Neil and George were also surprised. Robert had said that William was just an orphaned hobo, so how could he get this kind of luxurious service?The servants left wordlessly, leaving them all in a curious state. They were curious about how William could get this kind of service.William was already inside and he pulled Robert's hand. "Let go of Vera!" said William, trying to protect Vera."What, huh!" said Robert, incredulous. He pushed William to the ground. "So, after begging, you want to fight me?"The atmosphere in the room changed drastically. What had been full of laughter and singing was now tense and silent. George and Neil, who were u
Inside the toilet, William quickly picked up his cell phone and checked the contacts. He found Sean's name and immediately pressed the call. After a few rings, Sean's voice was heard on the other end of the line. William quickly explained what had happened and asked for Sean's help to take care of all this.Sean understood the situation William described. He promised that he would solve it immediately. "I'll take care of it, don't worry," Sean said in a calm voice. This way the business was done.William could not return to the room. If he went back, his friends would ask a lot of questions and he didn't want to answer all those questions. So, William decided to leave and let them think for themselves about how to solve this problem.Meanwhile, in the karaoke room, Ben suddenly received a call."What!" Ben rounded his eyes, apparently very surprised by what he had just heard.William's four friends could only wait with anxious hearts. They looked very worried and scared of what would
