Marcus jumped up as the sun shone in his eyes; he had forgotten where he was. Living with Lydia meant he had to wake up earlier and do the housework for the family.
He exhaled in relief, and muttered, "freedom".He groaned as he woke up, took his bath, shaved his hair, oiled it, and then wore the most outstanding clothes on his shelves: a green shirt and grey trousers. He completed the look with grey canvas shoes.As he opened the door, he was nearly startled because Kathie was already there, dressed in a black suit that suited her perfectly."Good morning, young master," she bowed."Good morning, are you here waiting for me all day?" he asked, confused."I must be the first person to greet you under normal circumstances," she gently said."Oh..okay," he stammered, then kept walking downstairs."Where is father?" he asked."Gone out, he will return by night. You are to go to the bank yourself and take the black card. Today is yours, and you have to enjoy it to the fullest," Kathie said.Marcus looked at her, lost in thought. The sudden blessing was still amazing. Just like that, he was rich overnight. The only thing on his mind was Lydia."If she did not mess up yesterday, she would be lucky today.""Sir," Kathie called him back.He blinked as he came back to life. "Uhn… okay, let me go to the bank," he said and walked out.Two bodyguards with guns wanted to accompany him, but he told them to stay. He wanted to enjoy himself today and visit Lydia.He danced out, stopped a cab, and drove away to the Diamond Bank. As he exited the car, the ladies surrounding him could not help but be amazed by his handsomeness.With an air of confidence, he walked into the luxurious, spacious, and very classical bank. He wouldn't have access to this bank if Lydia hadn't helped him, because it was only for high-status people.At first, he looked around, wondering where to go first. Then someone jumped in front of him."Hey, lowlife, what are you doing here?" Amelia said. Amelia was Lydia's best friend and was very annoying. She was one of the main reasons Lydia didn't treat Marcus well. She even planned the birthday and poisoned Lydia's mind not to tell Marcus.Marcus, knowing Amelia's nature, kindly ignored her and looked around. But Amelia persisted as she held his hand."Where do you think you are going? Wow, so this is how handsome you are. Good thing you dress nice for this interview, but they don't accept lowlifes without background," she slandered."Who told you I am here for an interview?" Marcus snapped at her.Amelia laughed, "really! Who do you want to fool? It's obvious why you are here."Marcus smirked, "so, is that what you think?""That is what I know. You must be desperate after Lydia sent you out, but no one can employ someone like you in this kind of bank. A part-time job is what suits you more," Amelia ranted.Marcus walked up straight in front of her, "you are mistaken. I am here for…"She raised her hand, "save your lies, orphan. Seeing you irritates me. I hate you from the very day I set my eyes on you. What you are here for does not concern me. You, this orphan, should have died with your mother."Marcus twisted his face in anger, "Don't you dare mention my mother again."Amelia dared him as she stepped forward, "what will you do? Your dead mother can't do anything to me."This made Marcus lose his temper. He raised his hand but controlled himself.Surprisingly, Amelia touched her cheek and cried, "oh! No, he slapped me!"Marcus chuckled because he was astounded. He didn't even touch her."My cheek is hurting," she put on crocodile tears and kept yelling. This attracted the attention of people, and two security guards immediately approached them."What is happening here?" one of them asked with a frown on his face. Amelia, a born actress, went on with her drama as she fell on the floor.She was still wailing and pointed at Marcus, "he slapped me, he stepped on me, and I told him to apologize. He refused and slapped me."The guards swiftly turned to Marcus with a cold stare."You really did that!" they both chorused.Marcus calmly replied, "she is lying."The guards were confused and looked at both of them."My cheek is hurting, isn't it obvious who is lying here?" Amelia shrieked.They turned to Marcus, "sir, you know the gravity. If you do not say the truth now and apologize, you will be arrested for assault. So please say the truth."Marcus maintained his composure, "I am telling you the truth, she is lying. You can check the CCTV," he pointed at one that was directly facing them. It surely captured it all."Oh, okay.." they said. Amelia popped out her eyes; this was not going to turn out good."What the hell is happening here?" another thick voice asked from behind. They all turned to it.It was the head of security. Amelia smirked; she had a good relationship with the man because she always tipped him whenever she came to the bank. Amelia was a regular customer.As soon as the head of security saw her, he smiled, then approached them, and asked, "ma'am, what is happening here?""This lowlife man here slapped me, and your junior is not believing me," she whimpered.The head of security turned to his juniors, "you must be crazy. Why won't you believe her when she was on the ground like this, holding her cheek?""Sir, we want to…" they wanted to explain, but he cut them off."Shut your mouth. Instead of you beating the hell out of this man and throwing him out," the man said and brought out a long baton. He wanted to impress Amelia so he could get more tips.Marcus popped out his eyes because at this stage, there was no way he could defend himself."What is happening here?" Another voice, belonging to the bank manager Mr. Smith, hauled from behind, they all turned at it. The guards immediately straightened up as he approached. His furrowed brow, he had to come down because of the commotion, he inquired again, "What's going on?".Amelia, still putting on her act, held her cheek.The head of security, his jaw clenched, gestured towards Marcus. "This man," he began, his voice heavy with accusation, "intentionally stepped on our potential customer and then refused to apologize, he even hit her."Amelia, with a smirk playing on her lips, took a step closer to Marcus, she was absolutely enjoying this.The real hate behind this, was that, when Lydia was looking for a man as a husband then, Amelia suggested her brother, but Lydia refused and chose Marcus. That was the only reason she loathed him.Manager Smith turned his gaze towards Marcus, his expression cold. "Is this true?"Amelia interjected, her voice dripping with false since
The manager's face could melt them down. "Now, recap what happened that you made me accuse someone", The manager twisted his face, and rolled his fist, he was very much on fire.Amelia frowned in confusion, "This man here…".Manager smith raised his hand, "can you please shut up, and let this incompetent security explain himself"Instantly, the security knew he was done for, he stammered not knowing what to say, "uhm…he stepped on her"."Is that true?", The manager demanded.Amelia would not back off, "yeah, and he was even caught in the camera", she stood on her lies.The manager faced the security, "is that true, anymore lies will lead to sack, you better tell the truth".The junior securities wanted to say the truth but the head of security chimed in, "yes, yes"."No, we don't", the juniors immediately spoke up.The manager turned his nager face at the head of security, "what? Is that true?".He bowed his head in disgrace, and did not find his voice."I am so disappointed in you,
Marcus emerged from the bank, the black card dazzling in his hand. He glanced at it once more. The knowledge that 10 billion was in it drove him crazy. To him, that was too much, but it was just a meager amount compared to what his father gave him."I can't spend this alone, Lydia has been there for me all these years, let me give her another chance, so we can spend the money together," he muttered to himself and took a step forward. Just then, a sleek black car stopped in front of him, shiny and expensive-looking.Two figures emerged from the car, a sexy blonde lady and a young man. They looked sharp and smart."Young master," they both bowed. Marcus was startled, wondering who they were.The lady, wearing glasses, stepped forward and introduced herself, "I am Paulina, a specialist from JK Technology. We specialize in hacking, wiretapping, programming, and breaking into systems.""This is my assistant," she said, pointing to the guy beside her.Marcus looked dumbfounded and confused.
Lydia stood up, "who is there", she asked approaching the door."It is me", the voice replied which she immediately ruled out that it was Marcus. She frowned her face and wide opened the door. Marcus stood humbly in front of her, theirr faces liceked to each other. They stood there for some seconds before Marcus spoke up, "Can I enter and talk".Lydia was about to say yes when Amelia appeared behind her, "Where do you think you want to enter, Lydia, hope you are not allowing this lion in sheep clothing in".Marcus' forehead made a line as he was confused of what Amelia was trying to say, he ignored her and faced Lydia, "let talk this out Lydia, I know you were drunk yesterday, you can explain yourself and I will try to understand".Lydia hushed him up, "I don't owe you any explanation, you pretend to be cool and nice while you are a wicked soul"."Lydia", Marcus uttered."Yes, I made a good choice yesterday, you this poor man, you have never done anything to my life other than embarr
(The next day)As sunlight bathed Dynamite Company, news of the new president, Mr. Thonk's son, spread among the employees and staff. They eagerly awaited his arrival all morning, but he failed to show up.Upon learning that the president wouldn't be coming that day, the employees returned to their respective duties.Meanwhile, a few miles away from the company, in an expensive BMW, sat Ms. Kathie, clad in a short black gown with her long hair styled in a ponytail, as sexy as ever."Can we go in now?" she asked impatiently, with Marcus nervously seated beside her."Okay, okay. Can you remind me what I'm supposed to say?" Marcus sought reassurance yet again. Kathie sighed in frustration; they had been waiting for some time, and Marcus seemed anxious about entering and kept seeking guidance for a speech."Listen, you're the president. You don't need to say anything. Just go in; you control and own them. You don't owe them any speeches," she advised."Okay, is that what it means to be t
The arrogant lady made a call to someone, then hung up and faced Marcus back, “the earlier, the better, just apologize now, and I will let everything go”. The old woman held his suit, “please, don’t let me be the cause of you not securing this job, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity”. Marcus did not even answer and waited for the person he called to arrive. Just then, the elevator binged, then appeared a huge man, dressed in worn shorts and has a rough, scary face.“Oh no!” the woman exclaimed. “Who is that?’’ Marcus asked. “He is the COO of this company, and currently the one heading it at the moment, anything he says is the final say,” the woman told him. The huge man approached them as the lady flung to her and hugged him tightly. “Darling, who is that bastard disturbing you,” he asked, his brow furrowed. The lady pointed at Marcus, “it is this new employee, he dares me”. “Do you know who she is?” the guy asked, walking closer to Thomas and nearly covered him.Marcus
Marcus, now dressed in the janitor dress, a mop in his hand and basket. As he entered the office, the old woman saw him and was very delighted; she rushed towards him."You are back…" the man then scanned his dress and murmured, "I am sorry, you became a janitor because of me, by your way of dressing then, I am sure you are here for a higher post."Marcus laughed it off, "this is actually what I am here for, all that was just for packaging."The woman laughed out very hard, "wow, so you dress that nice as a janitor?"Meanwhile, behind them was the arrogant lady, who saw the interaction and their laughter; she smirked and walked towards them."So... instead of working, this is what you are doing," she said, and this caught their attention. They turned to her. As soon as the woman saw her, she immediately bowed."We are sorry," she pleaded.The lady, with an air of authority, folded her arms. "You, if only you could have knelt down and begged me, you wouldn't end up as a janitor."Marcu
Mr. thonks on the rooftop of the tallest building In Belgium, he brought out a cigarette and his personal bodyguards lit the smoke for him, he puffed the smoke into the air and exhaled loudly.The bodyguard get a burnt scar in his eyes walked closer towards him and murmured, “I think is not yet time to leave Marcus on his own, he doesn’t know what ahead of him yet, and about the death of his mother, I am sure the opposites will be targeting him”.Mr. thonks scoffed, “I have no more time to live, he must know and learn how to live on his own, he will survive, and spread his empire and moreover, he just start this life, let him enjoy”.The bodyguards nodded, “yeah, okay sir, I heard he is pretending to be a janitor in the company”.“yeah, let him do that, there is a lot of weeds to root out in the company, I want to see what he is capable of", he said and smiled at himself.****Hales and Lydia walked inside the company holding each other's hand, they went straight to the receptionist a
