Lionel and Richard had gone to the same university. The most popular and highest rated university in the country. They had been friends way before they had gotten to the school. Even though the school was a school for really rich and influential people. Children of the rich basically, there was still a difference. There was the one percent of the one percent. Richard and Lionel were part of this percentage of the students at the school. Their parents were really rich. Extremely rich in fact. Lionel and Richard were part of a group of guys in the school. In fact they were part of the pioneers of the group. The name of the group was called ‘Empire’. It was a group of only boys in the boys and girls school. They were a popular group in the school. In fact, they were the most popular group. Everyone in the group was accorded the highest level of respect. ‘Empire’ was not an easy group to enter, and seeing the level of respect given to the member
So, on the day Richard and Chantelle had their first dinner together, the day Marcus waited for her to get back home to open the door of the house, was also the first time Cecelia and Lionel had dinner. Lionel was pleasantly surprised, and so was Cecelia during the dinner date. They both enjoyed themselves. From the dinner to the present, they had seen each other a few more times. Cecelia started having feelings for Lionel at a point. It was obvious to her that Lionel liked her. He liked her a lot. However, Cecelia was still doubtful. She remembered when her sister, Chantelle was engaged to Marcus. She remembered how in love Chantelle was. The love was almost intoxicating. When Chantelle brought Marcus into their parents home, she understood right away why Chantelle loved him. Marcus was a really handsome man. Tall and well built. The only problem he had was that he was not rich. However, it was still an impossible thing for Chantelle to convince her pa
“I'm very sure you just got a job here as a lowly worker because you were fired from your previous job,” Cecelia said. “You were not able to take care of my sister, your wife before. How are you going to be able to do that with the instability in your life now?” Marcus just kept on looking at Cecelia. Huncho and Stephen already asked him if he wanted them to deal with the woman ‘constituting a nuisance’ in front of him. But Marcus did not allow them to remove her. Deep inside him, there was still a little sense of guilt he felt, for how he had treated Chantelle and her family over the years. It was at this point that people had started gathering around them. Some of these people were already in the car park before them, while some were just coming out of the store. When they saw the amount of noise Cecelia was making, they were shocked. They listened in, and found out that she was insulting someone. Customers, who had just come from inside Sole Purp
Dave had just gotten back into his office when he found out that Marcus had not taken his phone. He was still debating on whether he should go and give it to him when his secretary, Mel entered. “Boss, it seems like your friend, the last visitor forgot some things he got.” “It was very likely the attendant that helped him pack it up forgot it due to how much he got.” “Do you think I should go and give it to him sir?” She asked. Mel has been struck by Marcus since she had seen him. Everything about him just seemed to attract her to him. Marcus was rich, good looking, well built and he had a very good voice. It was like how ants were attracted to sugar. She had been really happy when it got to her knowledge that he had forgotten some of the things he bought. Even though she would have loved to race out to meet him, she knew her job was also really important. She had to consult her boss, Dave, on whether she should go out to give the rest of his cloth
Marcus did not like how everything was proceeding. A lot of people, it seemed, were now getting too familiar with his face. Some might deem it paranoia, but Marcus felt his reason was still valid. The more people that got to know about him, the more he would be in the public's eye. Of course, the more he was in the public's eye, the easier it would be for Oscorp to find out more about him, and possibly attack him. “Yes,” Marcus replied. “It seems like she does not believe the clothes are mine. She thinks I'm a fraud.” “Ohh. That's weird. Do you know her then?” Dave asked. “Yes actually. She's my wife's sister,” Marcus said to the amazement of the crowd. The crowd that had been following the short discussion that was going on were surprised when they heard what Marcus had just said. It seemed like he was really familiar with this woman. So why was she accusing him if they were that close? Dave for sure already understood what was going on. Even thoug
Marcus got to his office safely. Huncho was given new orders, so he had to ensure Marcus's safety. This time around, he followed him into his building and straight to his office. Immediately he got to his office, he noticed Belle. She was looking expectantly at him. It seemed like she wanted to tell him something really important. Marcus greeted her and told her to follow him into his office. Marcus, Belle and Huncho entered the office together. Marcus went to the window overlooking the factory. He wanted to make sure the renovation of the factory was going well. Ever since the explosion happened, a lot of workers in the factory had not resumed work yet. Some of them had been injured, almost gravely in fact. The explosion was really serious. Marcus had just been lucky that it did not affect his own office. It was either luck, or the people behind it chose to intentionally leave him out of the explosion. Maybe they meant it to be a kind of thre
Marcus told Belle that he had to leave for home. After all, the day he had had was almost unbelievable. Marcus has gone from being angry at his wife this morning, to getting shot at and almost killed. He got saved by a spy in the Banks company. He had to get new clothes because his clothes were destroyed in the shootout. He already had to get new clothes normally. Wearing his work clothes he had been wearing to work for years now as the new manager was really wrong. Got to the store he decided to go, and found out his best friend who he had ‘abandoned’ for years, since he had finished his higher level education was the manager and owner of the store. Trying to explain who he had ghosted his best friend, up to catching themselves up on how they had been too Then the incident that had happened with Cecelia, his wife's sister. Marcus got angry not because she was shouting at him. In fact, he was not bothered at all at Cecelia shouting at him, rather, he got angry a bit when
Immediately Marcus decided he was done talking to Luiz, he stood up and told him he was leaving. Luiz was surprised. His boss never left before the end of the day. Today was different. He wondered what must have happened to him. However, Luiz was considerably different from when he was still in his office. Now, he was calm. He knew what he had to do, and what not to do. Marcus led the way out of his office, Huncho and Luiz also followed him out of the door. “Belle, I'm going home now. We'll see tomorrow morning,” Marcus said. “Enjoy your night boss,” she replied. Marcus started walking out of his building after that. He got out of the building, and it was time for Luiz to go back to his workplace. “Goodnight boss,” he said and bowed slightly to Marcus as he headed back. Marcus watched him go. He had thought about telling Luiz about the new developments for some reasons. Firstly, he did not believe him to be the spy of the Oscorp Corporation.
