“We’re here, Miss.”Dorian turned to look at his dazed and amazed passenger. He felt some pride flowing through him at the look on her face, because sincerely, who wouldn’t?He was riding a Maybach!“Ca.., can I get your number so you can become my Uber driver?”Dorian felt himself perking up at the sound of that. He did this yesterday, right? This was a sign that he was a good driver, yet Dorian felt doubt creep into his heart the more he thought of it. He took a good look at his passenger and inspected the smile on her face.She was young, about his age, but people always said he had an old soul, so maybe that was why he was able to spot this female wasn’t taking his number because the ride was smooth? No, it was something more than that. Dorian watched as she squirmed under his watch and darted her eyes away each time they met his. If she really wanted his number just because of the ride, then she wouldn’t be feeling so nervous.That or he was just paranoid now that he had a Mayb
Dorian groaned under his breath at his latest passenger. The male’s obnoxious voice droned on continually as he continued rambling to his fans on his livestream.“And guys, to make it in life, you’ve gotta make sacrifices. I mean look at me, I'm just thirty four. I have a million dollar house, I drive a million dollar car, I've taken lots of risks in my life.”Dorian cleared his throat lightly for lack of a better thing to do. This guy was obviously lying.“I’m being driven in a Maybach as we speak now, guys. Most of you will never experience this in your life. You don’t take risks.”Dorian felt the need to explode at this meathead overcome him. If any of his fans had any sense they’d be asking him what risks exactly he had taken.What were the things he did to get his million-dollar house and his million-dollar car, that’s if they even existed?Dorian pulled into the driveway and directed a look at his latest troublemaker “We’ve arrived at your destination sir.”The guy totally ignor
“H…h..hey” hiccup “how much did you get this car boy?” Dorian gritted his teeth and tried not to let his frustration get the best of him. This was just one of those things he’d have to endure right? As a self-employed driver, there would always be the chance that he’d get some unsavory clients. He had dealt with his fair share of them today, but none of them made him woozy with the stench of their breath and the alcohol oozing off them. Did this man bathe in liquor? A loud belch rang through the car and Dorian felt like someone had sent an electric shock through his spine. His passenger chuckled and patted his slightly protruding belly lightly, “Sorry for that…. Uh, my stomach doesn’t know when to stop speaking.” The system chuckled in Dorian’s head and Dorian gave it a mental glare. The system laughed even more and gave a snide comment “At least this guy’s funny.” Dorian cleared his throat and glanced at his passenger, “No problem. Your stop is right around the corner.” A surpr
“You set a quest for me, and you didn’t even inform me!”Dorian fumed as he marched through the path that led to his home. He had forty-eight hours to raise 5,000$.Forty-eight hours to raise money he didn’t even know how or where he’d be able to get it from! The system’s ball of light appeared and floated around Dorian’s head, pulsating lightly to catch his attention but Dorian ignored it.The system was crazy. It and every other thing in the world that just seemed set on making his life a living hell.~You know I don’t control the quests, don’t you Dorian?”Dorian glared at the ball of light only he could see and he scoffed as he walked into the compound of his rundown home. “I’m sorry if I don’t believe that after you intentionally didn’t tell me about it and tried to kill me.”~I didn’t try to kill you. I’d have informed you before the timer went out anyway, I just wanted you to be more conscious of the notifications tab, that’s all. Yesterday you got a Maybach but you were too lo
“Excuse me, did you see a Maybach pass this way today?”The lady Dorian was speaking to stared a him strangely before shaking her head. She walked off before Dorian could ask another question and Dorian dug his fingers into his hair, letting out a loud groan as he threw his head back.Life was determined to frustrate him. It was clear now.Dorian stopped the next person he saw and as stared at them imploringly, “Please did you happen to see a Maybach pass this route today? It rounded this block twice.”The person sneered at him and scoffed, “Do i look like i spend my day watching the streets for what cars may have passed and which have not? Get out of my way before I hit you!”Dorian stepped out of the burly man’s path and let him go on his way.He had been elated when he figured out the system was pointing him in the direction of the drunkard he had picked up, but when he checked his cheap phone, he felt life bite him in the leg like a rabid dog.His phone had automatically cleared a
“I need your help.”The moment the stock broker stepped into the car Dorian found those words tumbling from his lips. There was no time to waste really, and if he didn’t ask now then when would he ask?The stock broker was the same from last time, except he was a little different now. Instead of the black and white getup he had been dressed in the other day, he wore a striped shirt and green pants today. His stomach still seemed intent on bulging out, but it was clear there was a clearness to his eyes today. He wasn’t as intoxicated as the rest of his friends.A loud groan came from outside the door and the car rocked slightly as someone was pushed into it. A man landed on the seats, half awake and half passed out, his eyes already lidded with sleep.Another male got into the car and Dorian felt his chance begin to slip him by. The stockbroker man chuckled and jabbed his sleeping friend in the ribs.“Stay on your side ya big oaf. I didn’t ask you to drink half your life out.”The man
The next day, Dorian woke up early and caught a bus to the stock broker's office. They finally had a formal introduction in which the man introduced himself as Mr. Horace Walt, “But you can call me Walt, or Horace, whichever one is fine by you.”Dorian nodded and tried to keep his shoulders from shaking too much as different emotions coursed through him.Someone had searched his apartment while he was gone last night.Dorian felt the image of his room flash past in his mind again and he took a deep breath, because last night he got back home to meet his place trashed. His clothes were on the floor, his books were scattered all around, everything he had was in complete disarray, and someone had taken the money he was keeping so he could take it to the bank when he had the time.Horace Walt the stockbroker spoke at length about how they operated in the firm he worked in but all the while Dorian felt like the stockbroker's voice was just background noise.Whoever searched his things had
Dorian rushed to the policeman and exclaimed with a worried look on his face.“Hey, hey, excuse me sir. What’s happening here?”The police officer currently chaining a small barricade together around Dorian’s Maybach looked up at him and adjusted his belt as he rose, “Who are you?”Dorian felt his impatience trying to rise but he decided not to let it. “I’m the owner of the Maybach, and i have a ticket for parking here. Have I done anything wrong?”The police officer cleared his throat lightly and removed his glasses to stare at Dorian with heavy brown eyes, “This car has been seized. The young lady here phoned the police this morning to report a theft. She says this car has been stolen, so we’re investigating how true that is.”Dorian felt like he wasn’t hearing correctly, “Excuse me?”Amelia butted in with an irritated spiteful tone, “Oh stop with the pretense Dorian. We both know you stole this car. How could someone like you afford a car like this?”Dorian felt his brain stutter f
