The burly guy replied scornfully, pointing at Victor who struggled to get ready for the surprise that was able to knock him off his feet.Patricia turned to him, and at once his heart melted. The beautiful girl that he had spent months day dreaming about, was hooking up with another guy, who apparently was rich, and well to do. "Patricia." He hissed in disbelief. "What are you…what are you doing?""Oh Victor, it is you." She scratched her hair, looking less bothered, however she refused to make an eye contact with him. "What is it you want?"He struggled to speak but words could not come out of his mouth. "I - I just -""Hey Patricia, who is this guy and why is he getting so emotional upon seeing you?" The muscular man asked, looking pissed off."Do not worry Steffen, just go back inside I will be with you shortly eh."

"She is a primary school teacher, earning a thousand dollars per month.""And you are a delivery guy earning just a thousand dollars per month and two hundred dollars per delivery?""Yes daddy."Mr Jarrod then motioned to Keegan. "Keegan give me my phone." With Mr Jarrod's phone now in within his grasp, he requested for Victor's account number, and within four minutes he was done with the transaction."Jesus Christ, twenty five million dollars!" Victor hissed in disbelief. "Daddy this is too much, what would I do with twenty five million dollars?""That is just a fraction of what I am going to do, just to make you happy." Mr Jarrod said."But dad, this is too much, thank you very much." Victor said. "Now my mother would be able to pay off the heavy debts, she has accumulated over the years." Victor said satisfactorily."How much does your mother owe?""About a hundred thousand dollars." "Wow, what is your mom doing that she owes the bank a hundred thousand dollars?""She borrowed tha

Undeterred by the lingering disdainful glances and the embarassing encounter with the security personnels, Victor and his mother began to explore the lavish offerings of Elysium Elegance.They navigated through the racks of designer clothing with Victor carefully selecting outfits that caught his eye and showing them to his mother.Each dress he showed to his mother seemed to transform her into a vision of elegance as she smiled and admired herself in the grand mirrors.Victor watched as his mother's face lit up with delight. Her eyes sparkled with newfound confidence in each outfit she tried on. It was a heartwarming sight, a moment of pure joy for both of them amidst the sea of judgement.As he glanced around the boutique while waiting for his mother to put on another dress, Victor noticed a particular attendant who seemed more modest, approachable, and humble than the others.She was dressed in a tasteful, understated uniform that contrasted with the ostentatious attire of her coll

The onslaught of insults and mockery from the first two ladies had left Victor feeling deeply embarrassed and a simmering anger building within him. He had walked into the electronics store with the hope of a straightforward phone upgrade, but instead, he found himself subjected to unwarranted ridicule.As he stood there, trying to maintain his composure in the face of their hurtful words, he couldn't help but wish he could disappear or that the ground would swallow him whole.In this moment of vulnerability, he noticed a faint smile on the face of the phone attendant who had been observing the interaction. Her smile, while not overt, held a hint of understanding, as if she had witnessed similar situations before.Maintaining her professionalism, she approached Victor and, in a calm and respectful tone, said, "Welcome to the Tech Haven Plaza.

After sending those comforting messages to Michael, Victor quickly made a few clicks on his phone to browse for new practice gear online. He was determined to upgrade his attire to avoid any further ridicule in the locker room. Satisfied with his selections, he placed an order and then headed back to the locker room.When he returned, most of his teammates were in the process of kitting up. Some had already changed into their jerseys, and a few were beginning to stretch and warm up.As Victor entered, he couldn't help but sense an air of anticipation mixed with lingering laughter from the earlier teasing. He knew he had to hold his head high and focus on preparing for practice.However, just as he was about to start changing into his practice gear, Rodriguez, who had made fun of Victor, couldn't resist another opportunity for mockery.With a mockingly dramatic tone, Rodriguez said, "Oh, here comes the vintage man, he's back already."Sections of the locker room burst into laughter
