Inside is not as chaotic as outside. The party has started already and gentle music is being played by a small group of violinists in a corner. Smartly dressed waiters are walking around, making sure that all the guests have drinks in their hands and are having a good time. Alice and Gray are handed drinks too and they start to move around. There are less than a hundred people in this meeting. Alice almost feels intimidated by how rich everyone around her is, but the new status of her family gives her the boost she needs. Jones takes the stage and he gently raises the glass to the air, catching the attention of everyone. “Good day, everyone. Thank you for coming to my company's quarterly party.” He says. “This quarter, we have registered more profits than any other time of the year, and that's thanks to you,my partners are associates…” Everyone claps. It's obvious that they all respect Jones. Even though he is young enough to be a son to many of them. “And also today, I am thr
After the meeting, Alice is so happy that she is playing music in the car as she drives Gray back to his estate. This is the happiest day of her life. She loves how much Gray has changed her life! Shs is driving the car with a big smile on her face. “My mother wants to invite you for dinner at our place. It's in a small town in the middle of nowhere, I told her that you won't be able to come, but she was just so happy and she had to offer,” she chuckles. “I am so happy for your family.” Gray looks out of the window. “And we owe it all to you, sir.” Alice tells him. “My family now have warehouses all over the country and even abroad. You have changed our lives forever.” If there is someone whose life deserves to go turned around for good, it's Alice…As she drives down the road, she wants to make the final turn to the house, but Gray stops her. “Can we turn to the left side of the road? I need to purchase something quickly,” he instructs her. She crooks one of her eyebrow in a
Another employee walks into the place. He has short blonde hair and he is wearing a white packet shirt and black pants. A dressing code for the junior workers. He looks smart in his work clothes, but he looks so tired that his eyes look that they are sinking into his face. He is just nineteen years of age. Freshly out of highschool and he is just trying to make a living to support his sickly mother. So, that's why he hasn't quit in this shitty place if work. That's why he swallows all the bullying that his seniors serve him on a daily basis. He puts on the best smile on his tired face and starts to walk to Alice and Gray. “Good morning, ma'am, sir, he greets. “Welcome to Grand motors. Can I know what kind of car you are seeking to buy, so that I can know what to show you.” Alice is standing behind Gray, her hands folded over each other.She thinks that Gray is here just to purchase a car for himself , but she is very wrong. “Young man, do you have a Rolls Royce La Rose Noire?”
Alice frowns when she hears the man said that they can't afford to buy the car. The other woman said that they are wasting her time and she left! Gray doesn't say anything, he is not disturbed with the embarrassing way this people are treating him. The boy, the young teenager salesman, he picks up the key and walks up to them. “Sorry for my boss, he is just tired. Come, I will show you the car!” He takes them upstairs to where the car is displayed on the another floor. The car is kept separate from the rest. It's a beautiful red car and sparkles in the white lights. Alice draws breath, because she seems to be finding it difficult to breathe in front of such a beautiful car. Tommy is smiling too. This is one of his most favorite cars in the world.“Isn't she beautiful?” He chuckles. “She is a masterpiece of design and engineering. It will interest you to know that this case is so expensive and precious, only a few has been made.” Gray turns around, observing the car too. Alice
Alice laughs as more tears drops from her eyes. This is a day that she is not going to forget in a haste. Gray now turns to the salesman and asks for the price. The smile on Tommy's face goes away. It has come to the hard part, maybe they won't want the car after hearing the hefty price. “Sir, this is a very expensive car, like I have said many times. It's forty.” He says. “Forty thousand?” Alice asks. “Million, miss. It's worth forty million dollars.” He corrects her. Alice's heart sinks to the ground immediately. What was she even thinking? This car is way above her. There is no reason for Gray to splash so much money on a car for her. She is after all, nothing but his worker. She drops her head as she sighs. “It's okay, sir, you don't have to buy this car for me. It's too expensive. I can buy a smaller one.” Alice shrugs. “I am thankful for the fact that you even offered to buy it for me.” But Gray snorts as he takes out a card from his pocket. “Nonsense. The car is your
Mister Smith is a very evil boss. He thinks that this is a chance for him to steal the naive teenager’s salary. Tommy is going to gamble with his salary and Mister Smith knows that he is going to lose. He laughs in his heart because he will take the money and buy himself a good bottle of beer at the end of the month! “You want to gamble with your salary, go on.” Mister Smith says with a grin. “Promise me that I will get the bonus if I sell the car.” Tommy begs. “I will get the bonus.” Mister Smith snorts. There is a way that this man is going to be able to afford this car. Look at their poor clothes. So, he thrusts the machine to Tommy. Tommy looks at Gray, who gives him an encouraging nod. “Go on, boy. You think that this is a good bargain? Let's see how far your faith takes you.” Tommy mutters a prayer as he swipes the card. If this doesn't work, his mother might not get the money to even buy her drugs by the end of the month. He wills this to work with all his might. His ey
Mister Smith jaw drops to the ground. He can't believe that he fumbled the biggest deal he would have made in his lifetime! He passed the deal to the clumsy teenager! Tommy is still jumping around, thanking God for giving him this great blessing. He goes to Gray and kneels down in front of him, and starts to thank him for changing his life. “Thank you! I am just nineteen years old, but this money is going to change my life!” Tommy has tears in his eyes. “Thank you! Thank you so much!” Mister Smith looks very uncomfortable. He pulls Tommy up and tells him to put himself together. He is just jealous of Tommy and his sudden success. “We are just very respectful to our customers,” Mister Smith laughs. “I taught him well. In Fact, I told him to treat you very well when he came to my office. I just had a good feeling around you.” Gary exhales because he is tired of hearing Mister Smith's bullshit. He glances at his wrist watch as he turns to Tommy. “Grab the paperwork, boy.” He ins
Jones Rodrigo has been the acting chairman for Gray group of companies and now he has announced to the workers that their boss, the richest man in the country, will be coming to visit them. They are thrown into preparation. The workers wear their best clothes and make sure that everything is sparkling clean. They have held the honour of being of the best companies in the city, and they will see the man that they have been waiting to see. Unfortunately, Gray doesn't show up that day, or the next. They are worried and contact Jones. He is not in the country, but he tells them that they should just go about their jobs, that he will show up sometimes in the week. So, everyone returns back to their normal job and slowly starts to forget about their boss that would soon return. The truth is that Gray has suddenly become very busy and had to cancel a few times. But after he has cleared his calendar, he decides to go and pay them his visit. He wants to introduce Alice as their new boss,
