"You know, that's the same question I would love an answer to. Who was that man?" Alex asked and turned to Damien for an answer."Right now I don't know who the man is but I can assure you that I will search for him and find him. He can't be hiding for long but I will need your help with this Natalie ""Okay, how can I help?" She asked. "Did you see anything that can help us track him down? Like can you remember his face well, the car he drove, did it have a number that you can remember?" "Umm, I'm sorry but no. I can't remember seeing any car number but I did get a pretty good look at his face and I do know what he looks like." "Okay, that great. I will get a sketch artist and we can find out who this man is." "Alright then." Damien said and walked away, leaving both of them to discuss. "You look mad? Is everything okay?" Alex asked. "It's just confusing. Why would you have all these and still decide to allow Nathan and his gang to maltreat you the way they did?" "Who said any
"Is that all?" Alex asked when the man placed his materials away."Yes sir. That is all. I have all the information I need and I will be done with the sketch in few minutes. I just need to ask you a few questions." "Okay, what sort of questions do you want to ask me?" "I wanted to ask, did you at any point see the man's face or anything that may help us recongize him?" "No, I didn't," Alex answered with his legs crossed. "He came up behind me and then before I knew anything, he placed that towel over my face and I was struggling to breath. I did not see him neither did he speak for me to hear his voice." "Alright. Thank you for your input. Just give me a few minutes and I will be done with my sketch." The man said politely. "Please carry on." Damien told him. Everyone sat still and watched as the man drew. He had a focused gaze on his paper and he looked happier than ever. It was obvious that this was something he loved doing very much. No one could deny that but Alex wanted so b
"I want you to go on a date with me and don't worry about the bills, I will take care of that. So what do you say?" Alex was honoured no doubt but knowing the kind of person Natalie was, he won't be surprised if she had other motives. Properly she wanted to ask him a lot of questions to find out the truth about who he truly was. He couldn't have that happening. "Umm, I am not sure that is a very good idea because you see I actually have a lot on my plate right now and I don't think I have the luxury of going out for dinner." "Oh come on now. You don't have so much to do. Plus, I said I was going to sponsor everything. Look, if you want me to forgive you for lying to me then you absolutely have to do this." "Alright then. I guess I have to do this then to earn your forgiveness." "Yes you do. So let's go!" Natalie said excitedly.."What now?" Alex asked. "Yes, what other time did you think would be better. We are together right now, plus i know that you haven't had something to eat
Immediately the waiter bursted out in laughter. He could barely contained his amusement at what Alex had just said. "I'm sorry. Did you just say that you are going to have me fired?" He said through laughs. "How will you, a nobody be able to achieve that. In case you don't know, I am indispensable in this organisation and no one would dare fire me " "Oh I am sure they will fire you on the grounds of incompetence. See, you have spent so much time trying to get us to leave that you have totally forgetten that you have customer that they orders have not been taken yet and I am not expert but I think that's a fault that deserves a termination letter because in my opinion, you are being highly incompetent." He said. "And who do you think cares about your opinion here? Let me tell you the honest truth, no one cares about your stupid opinion so you can take it to the streets and meet your fellow unhoused people." "Oh I think someone in authority, like your manager will care about it. So
"What exactly is going on here?" The owner asked as he walked towards them. "Manager, are you shouting at customers in the middle of my restaurant? Where other customers can see you? Have you lost your mind completely?!" He said enraged. "Sir," the manager begun to stutter. "Sir, it's not like I have lost my mind. I was just trying to explain to this man that we don't actually attend to people like that in our company. I was just trying to tell him that we are not going to attend to him and that he should leave." "And why won't you attend to him?" The owner asked."Sir?" The manager replied."Have you gone deaf? I asked why won't you attend to him? Did he say that he will not pay?" "Ah, sir. He did not have to say that he won't pay. It's already obvious that he won't pay. As a matter of fact sir, it is obvious that he cannot pay." "And what makes it obvious?" "Sir, come on. Look at the way he is dressed. I am sure he is a hooligan or some sort of criminal that just broke out fro
"No sir, I don't believe we have met before." Alex said and feared for the worse. He couldn't have remembered meeting the man but he did know that he had met a lot of people since he acquired his wealth and he prayed that this man was not one of them."No, that can't be right. I am sure that I have seen your face somewhere before." "Well till you can remember where we met, I am afraid we will be taking our leave now." "Oh no, I can't allow you to do that." The owner said."And why is that?" Alex asked."Well you came here to eat and I need to ensure that you actually eat. So you wait right there and I am going to get another waiter to serve you." "Wait," Alex said and turned to Natalie."Do you still want to eat here?" He asked her calmly. "Well I am hungry and it will take a while before we can get to the next restaurant. Plus, the food here promises to be great so I say we just eat here at once." "Alright then. If that is what you want then we will eat here." "Fantastic. I wil
Natalie sees David walking back to their table and begins to freak out. Her sweat pores open up and she can feel the banging sensation on her head. "What are we going to do? After making such a big scene about being able to afford this place and now we will not be able to pay? My goodness, it is going to be so embarrassing." Natalie complains bitterly. Her heart began pounding fast and she knew that Alex would never agree to go out with her again. She had successfully ruined the one good thing she had because of her foolishness. "Okay, Natalie calm down. You look like you are about to have a heart attack." Alex told her but the young girl paid no mind to him."I must have forgotten it in such a haste because we were rushing to leave the house. If I had just checked, we won't have to be in this problem." She continued ranting, oblivious to the fact that Alex sat calmly, not bothered by it at all. "Hello ma, I am back with our machine and the total cost of your food is $25,000." "2
"What?" Bobby asked surprised. "Yes. Exactly. Alex is the one that paid for the dinner. He is much of a man than you will ever be so if I were you, I would just walk away and stop trying to get people to believe your ridiculous lies." Natalie said happily. Finally excited that she could shut Bobby up. Bobby looked from Natalie to Alex and suddenly, he bursted out in laughter. "What's so funny?" Natalie asked angrily and Alex stood quietly, watching him become dramatic. "I said what's so funny?" Natalie asked again with so much anger. "I just can't believe that you believe his lies. I mean, I know you can be gullible but babe, come on now. Do you how expensive things in this restaurant actually are? This boy here cannot even afford a bottle of water talk less of an entire meal." Bobby said. "Call him boy one more time and you will have me to contend with," Natalie said angrily taking slow meanacing steps towards him. "Oh be serious darling. You know you can't do anything to hurt
