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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Stacy did not expect for him to say yes, and so easily, she couldn't believe her ears. “Are you sure, Gray?” She chuckles nervously. “It's five million dollars, that's a lot of money.” “A whole lot of money, but not for you.” He says. “Now, do you want it in cash or cheque?

Just before two hours is done, they are done with the meeting. Gray is more than pleased with himself, he will now head back home to his wife. He glances at his wrist watch as he gets into the car and they start to drive back to the airport. “That was very quick, sir.” William smiles. “I was very time conscious. I can't break my promise to Stacy.” “She texted me because she wanted to know if I have any food that I don't care for.

Even the Generals are dumbfounded. They are so used to the Mars doing everything for them, that they don't even know how to strategize anymore. “That's a very good plan, sir.” The Generals look at each other and nod. “Bunch of morons! I give you many bonuses and you can't even come up with a good plan?!” The president shouts at them. “Stressing the richest man in the world to come up with a strategy for us?!” “Sorry, your Excellency.” They all bow. He turns to Gray and forces himself to smile. “Don't be angry, Mister Lance, were you in any way, in the army before this?” He asks. Gray just smiles. “I’ve shot a hunting gun a few times, if that counts as anything.” The president laughs again. This time around, he gestures for the soldiers to guard them as he starts to walk with Gray.

They are all laughing now, Gray laughs with them so much that they think that they have finally turned the anonymous trillionaire into their friend. William is standing behind Gray, looking back and forth in an alert manner. He has never seen a room full of more scary men. These were the men that killed his father, together with this psychopath that is running this nation. “So, you took care of him, the man that is supposed to be the greatest General in the army?” Gray asks. “Yes!” The president brags. “I killed him with my own tactics, and he fell right into my trap because he is not as smart as he thinks he is!” The Generals nod in agreement. They were all jealous of the Mars and all his prowess, so they allowed the president to use them to kill him. “Well, sounds like he had to be taken care of so I am glad for that. Now, can we move to the next topic?” Gray smiles. “Yes, yes, yes…” the president nods. “We need those weapons immediately because as you can see, these little

What?! Gray cannot be in the state capital of the country tonight! He promised his wife that he is going to return for lunch! How is he supposed to return for lunch if he has to go to the capital now? “Oh, I don't think that Mrs Lance would be happy if we went to the capital together.” William shakes his head. Alice frowns at him. She hasn't warmed up to William just yet, so she casts an unfriendly glare at him. “Who said anything about you going? You are still under probation, I don't appreciate you inserting yourself in the situation!” She snaps. William immediately looks down and apologizes. He knows that Alice doesn't like him, but he knows that he must have to win her over, if he will win her over. “I'm sorry Miss Alice, I didn't mean to jump the gun like that.” “Make the plane ready immediately.” Andrew says. “We will be using the private strip and since I can't have the entire security team with me, as that will bring up suspicion, William will go with me.” “Sir, he is
