"Dinner is here, "A waiter said coming in with a trolley, there were two more waitresses behind him.
One holding another tray while the other was holding a champagne with a glass."Yes, dinner" Nicholas moved aside to allow them to pass through.
They served the food on the dining table, there were varieties of food, fruits, and desserts. Then the other waitress with champagne popped and poured it into a glass cup."If you need anything, you should let us know using the telephone," The waiter said and bowed, the rest lowered their head as well and left."Woo!" Nicholas jumped excitedly, he danced around the room, perceiving the aroma of the food placed on the table.
Then he sat and ate like he hadn't eaten in days which is true. Nicholas has not had a decent meal for some months not to talk of a luxurious one like these.Finished eating, he ate his dessert and finished the bottle of champagne."Life is good" He belched, threw himself on the soft bed, and slept like a baby. Nicholas woke up in the middle of the night and covered himself with the duvet as the cold was too much for him. He took the air conditioner remote and tried turning it off but he didn't know how to operate the remote no matter how hard he tried.
He gave up and squeezed himself under the duvet.The next day, Nicholas woke up, and took his bath, he spent forty minutes in the bathroom as he was trying all the features of the advanced shower.
"This is fun" He pressed a button and warm water poured down on him. "Mm" He pressed another water, and the water became cold. "Aish!" He quickly pressed another button to change it.Nicholas dressed up and checked out. At the reception, people were giving him a disgusting look.
He wondered what was wrong, he took a look at himself, it was then it occurred to him that... He needed a change of clothes."To R&V" He smirked.
Nicholas took a cab to R&V Boutique, a famous and expensive boutique where newly released exclusive products are sold.
He bounced into the boutique feeling proud, the sales girl saw him and rushed towards him. "Please you should go, our manager banned people from window shopping," The salesgirl said politely. Nicholas took a look at her, he was here to buy stuff not to window shop but of course, because of his appearance, this salegirl looked down on him."I'm here to buy clothes and shoes" Nicholas, trying to go in further but the girl stopped him.
"I'm sorry sir, We don't have the clothes that you want to buy, "The salegirl said.
Nicholas laughed. "How do you know the clothes I want to buy?"He asked in assumement.
"The clothes and shoes we sell here range from $20,000, and I don't think you will be able to afford..." The girl said and paused, not completing her statement."Sir, you can go to Luice's local market, I know a place where they sell cheap clothes ranging from $50 upward like your jeans."
Nicholas felt insulted, He paced around, biting his nails, thinking. Then a thought came to him.
He will make more money and come back to buy this particular boutique, he smiled. The sales girl noticed his confidence and proud aura, someone poor wouldn't have this confidence, what if she is making a mistake? She just got this job after searching for two years, and losing it will be dreadful."Come in, I'm sure you will see the ones you like"She ushered her in with a smile.
Nicholas who was about to leave, turned back. "You said, I'm too poor to afford anything here""No sir, It's my mistake, please do come in" "Really?""Of course," She said with shivering hands. "Lucky you" Nicholas muttered under his breath. "You just save this place""Sir?" She heard him loud this time but didn't understand what he meant by that. "Never mind" He patted her shoulder.Nicholas was shown around, lots of expensive, quality and good clothes and shoes but it wasn't to his satisfaction.
The sales girl noticed his bland expression. "What's wrong sir?" She asked him. "I don't like all these"He rubbed his tempo. "I showed you mostly all our products""Yes, what about the VIP ones"The girl gasped. "The products there are very expensive""I came here on my two legs, of course, I know that before coming here" "Okay"The sales girl took him to an inner room, which led to a staircase that led to the VIP room. "This is it." Nicholas raised his hands, embracing the aura coming from the room. He looked around, picked some clothes from the racks, and went to the dressing room to try them on.There were only two customers in the VIP room, unlike the main room which had 50 people because things there are very expensive and only a few can afford it.
Nicholas bought some clothes and shoes from the VIP room, the sales girl is uneasy, what if he is only bluffing, will be able to pay for all these. If she is caught, her manager will fire her. "Sir, Installment payment is allowed but it's only for three months, are you paying..." Nicholas interrupted her before she could finished her statement. "I'm paying all now, here is my card" He handed over the card to her. The sales girl swallowed hard, she would definitely lose her job today with this crazy man.She collected the card from him and swiped it, it went once. Her eyes widened with her mouth wide open. "$6,000,000 at once!" She screamed.Quickly, she packaged his stuff and handed it over to him.
"Thank you, sir, please come again sir" She bowed. "mm" Nicholas nodded his head and left the VIP room. As Nicholas was about to leave, guards surrounded the place, people panicked wondering what was happening. "Mr. Nicholas Shane stop." A voice on a megaphone is heard. Nicholas stopped and turned back with a frown. A man in a blue suit, his hair was grey, obviously, he was in his late fifties walked up to him. "Hello, I'm Jelly Kan the owner of this boutique" The man introduced himself, offering a handshake which Nicholas shook. "I hardly come to this place as I have other branches to attend to but I decided to visit today and I was notified that what you bought superseded the overall sales made today." Nicholas gave a confused look as he wasn't getting what Mr. Jelly Kan meant. "I meant, today's sales is $3,000,000 but you bought things times two of today's sales which is $6,000,000. We are forever grateful for your patronage." "Ah, okay" Nicholas slightly lowered his head. "Don't go anywhere else, whatever you need just come here. Here is our golden ticket, it is a VVIP ticket for VVIP customers."Nicholas collected the golden ticket and looked at it. "If you need any product, just tell us. If you need an update on new products, we will let you know. In fact, my direct number is on the ticket""Really""Yes, so if you need help or anything personal, call me. Thank you once again, our VVIP customer"Mr. Jelly Kan lowered his head, the guards and staff did the same. "Thank you" Nicholas bowed also and turned to the door, then he turned back. "That lady, promote her and increase her salary because she saved your business today," He said, pointing to the sales girl who attended to him and left.Me. Jelly Kan turned to her"Miss Ruth, you have been promoted to general manager"
"What!, what about me?" The manager who was beside him said. "Since you were manager you never earn more than $4,000,000 in a day but here is this lady, because of her we earned $9,000,000 and the day isn't over yet, meaning we will be expecting $10,000,000 plus in just a day. Something you couldn't do, you are fired!" Mr. Jelly Kan said and left with his bodyguard. "Thank you, thank you very much, sir, thank you" Ruth fell to her knees and thanked him in tears.Nicholas came out of the boutique smiling, he went back to the hotel and changed his clothes then he bought the house he was staying from the landlord, arranged and hired people to demolish it and build a bigger one.
He is just getting started.
At night, Nicholas was fast asleep when he heard a loud vibration, he woke up immediately, covering his ears."Agh, what's that?" He groaned. The system appeared to him. {Nicholas Shane, next task loading} it's said, beeping. "Really?" Nicholas rubbed his eyes and yawned, stretching his body. He took his phone from the drawer beside him and checked the time "1 am? This system must be kidding me"Anyway, this is the system that gave him $10,000,000, he shouldn't be an ingrate. {Nicholas Shane, get up and go to Neon Street, then he should stay there for thirty minutes}.Nicholas burst out in laughter, why would he go to Neon Street in the middle of the night just to stand for thirty minutes, it's ridiculous!"It's too late, I can't go"{You have to}."Jeez, didn't you check the time, it's 1 am, why should I go there just to stand and do nothing" {That's the task given to you today}Nicholas stood up and stood still like a statue "See, is it not standing, I'm a good stander, if the
Chapter 12 {Conversion successful} "Don't!" Nicholas heard her scream. *Bang* He felt something hard on his head, then he fell to the ground. Everywhere became a blur till he lost consciousness. It happened in a twinkle of an eye. "Ah" Nicholas groaned in pain immediately he opened his eyes, He woke up with a headache, he sat up, looking around but he had no idea where he was. The room is beautiful just like a hotel room, the sunlight flashed through his eyes. He got up and left the room. Nicholas burst into a big and beautifully decorated hallway with servants running here and there doing their chores. "Where am I?" He wondered. Just in, A male servant walked up to him, and lowered his head "Good morning sir, I have been instructed to take you to the dining room" He said. "Dining room?, okay" The mention of food brought excitement to Nicholas, he followed the servant. As they went, Nicholas couldn't stop admiring the mansion. They finally got to the dining room, it was so
*Clap, clap* some of the judges clapped as the actors and actresses performed on stage, while some nodded.After the audition was over, Nicholas was told to wait behind for the rest."Nicholas Shane?" A middle-aged man read his name from his notebook."Here" Nicholas raised his hands to signify."Come inside," The man said and left.Nicholas adjusted his suit and went in feeling nervous.Inside the room are three judges looking at his CV."Have you acted in any movie before?" The man in the middle asked, flipping the pages."Yes but as an extra""I heard you were recommended by Xandro, what makes you think you have the potential to bring Alex's role to life?"I have not acted in any lead role but I'm experienced in acting, I only need a platform to show my talent" Nicholas bowed."We thought about giving you the supporting male role, you performed well in your audition, no doubt but we already have someone else." The woman at the left said."We are sorry, you are good but like she sai
A month later, the movie came out and it was a success. Sarah had been discharged by then, He took her to his new house.He had his old house demolished and build a mansion. Sarah was so glad about the change in her son life, She always prayed for him. Sarah brought Karen with her so she won't feel lonely in the house.The atmosphere between Karen and Nicholas was still cold, Nicholas talked to her and he tried to get close to her several times but Karen always push him away. He let go. Nicholas mansion was a six bedroom duplet, it has a swimming pool, a garden, a gym and a big gate hiding the details of the building. He hired three maids, four chefs, a gateman and two drivers. He took Sarah and Karen shopping very weekends, and he got his mum a bentley car. It was Karen birthday, after the small family celebration, Nicholas retired to his bedroom while Karen and Sarah are in the kitchen washing the dishes. "What do you think about him?" Sarah asked Karen as she arranged the pl
She rushed to SLlm entertainment agency to tell Kim Orme, Kim Orme was on a meeting with his artists manager, immediately Camella rushed in, he dismissed them."What is it?, Why are you here by this time?" He asked, sitted on his chair."I saw…I saw him…" Camella stammered."Woo, calm down,you saw who?" He offered her a cup of water to drink.Camella gulped down the water and relaxed."Nicholas" She said.Kim Orme raised a brow "I told you not to mention that name again""I know, but I saw him,""Where?""On the tv""Mm?""I'm real, Nicholas was on the tv being interviewed with the famous entertainment media channel. He was different,""Don't be ridiculous, Nicholas is dead!, We killed him ourselves " Kim Orme took a document from the table and went through it."Did we see his body? We didn't!, What if he didn't die, what if he…""Stop!" Kim Orme hit his hand on the table and Çamella kept quiet."Are you drunk?How can a human survive from that jump? Do you remember how high the mounta
"Hurry,let's go!" Camella screamed, holding Kim Orme tightly, running through the back door.Kim Orme picked a stick from the floor Incase Nicholas would come after them.Breathing heavily, they entered their car."What the heck!"Kim Orme yelled, hitting the steering wheel.Camella drank a bottle of water to cool herself and faced Kim Orme "I told you he was alive you didn't listen, look , do you see what you caused now?" She grabbed his shirt by it's collar."He was supposed to be dead!,""But he came to his funeral!, The person we are doing funeral for came to his funeral, does it make sense!" She screamed at him in annoyance."You should have done something when I told you I saw him on the tv but you said he wasn't the one, now look" She held onto it more violently."This isn't my fault," Kim Orme jerked himself from Camella grib."There is no way that bastard would survive the fall, unless…"He suddenly kept quiet, looking at Camella in a suspicious way."What?" She asked."Did you
The next day, Camella's mind was so disturbed that she couldn't sleep last night. She decided to go see Nicholas in the small flat house they once lived in. She had to confirm something. Locating the house wasn't easy but with the help of the neighbors she got the place.She stood at the front of a big mansion,instead of the small,old, rugged flat.She was confused. She thought she made a mistake and asked around, she was told that the house had been brought, demolished and turned into a mansion.Camella wasn't sure of what to do, she roamed round the gate as she was about to go back, She heard a car horn.She turned back to see Nicholas coming out of the mansion entering a luxurious Ferrari car.Her jaw dropped.She couldn't believe it, Nicholas drove outside and stopped seeing Camella."What are you doing here?"He asked, drowning his face.Camella moved to his window "Hi" She nervously said,raising her hand."What do you want?""Mmm,I…I…I just came to say hello. Wait,is this real, ho
At the party, Karen hadn't seen Nicholas since he left to the restroom, it's been more than an hour.She searched everywhere but couldn't find him."Have you seen Nicholas?" She asked Sarah; Nicholas' foster mum.Sarah was drunk, she belched out loudly" I don't know…maybe he is in the bedroom" She jokingly said."Don't I look pretty?" Sarah asked, staggering.Karen ignored her and went to the bedroom in the hotel."Baby" She excitedly opened the door but was disappointed to see no one there. She called his number but it was switched off.'Where could he be in this time of celebration 'She thought, She sat on the floor sad.She had a surprise for him which she wanted to share with him.Deep in thoughts,she sat off on the full unknowingly.The next morning, She was woken up by Sarah, immediately she woke up,she looked for Nicholas but he wasn't here.They decided to go home.At home, Karen saw a female necklace on the floor "Is this for you?" She asked Sarah."Damn this must cost millio
