" I am sorry Mr. Liam Storm, but you failed the interview." The manager in charge of the job application, cleared his throat and announced with a calm look.
A document was passed to the applicant called Liam Storm, who was facing the manager.
Liam, who was all in smiles earlier, knowing there was a 100 percent chance for him, as he was sure he performed well during the interview. And to make it a plus, he was the best graduating student of the top college. So, he believed his chances were high.
But hearing the rejection coming from the manager, it felt like a big drum of cold water was poured over him. His smile died down immediately, to be replaced with a cracked face. He was in plain disbelief...
" Mr. Manager, but I did well. Didn't I? I am sure I passed all the interviews, so why this?" He shifted from his seat slightly and tried to argue politely.
He wasn't ready to let go of this opportunity.
The manager gently tapped his desk and looked away from Liam indifferently.
" This is not my order. It is an order from above."
Liam was crestfallen to hear this, as his heart skipped a beat repeatedly. He wasn't expecting this at all....
Failed the interview?
" But Mr. Manager...." He was still adamant on this and wanted to prove himself....
" Please, get out. You are rejected. Another applicant is waiting." The manager gestured to the door impatiently and called for another applicant.
Liam was dumbfounded to the extent, he couldn't move or utter anything.
This can't be true!
****
These words keeps playing in Liam's head, as he walked lazily across the street with a hopeless expression. Little tears lurked around the corner of his eyes, but he didn't let them flow down.
At this moment, he was on the verge of giving up, as he was short of what to do anymore.
He had been trying different interviews after he graduated as the best student, but unfortunately, he was always getting rejected, without a genuine concrete reason. He was seriously tired of all these. He thought being the best graduating student in the top college would bring a lots of benefits, but guess he was wrong.
Liam sighed, the hot wind blowing past him, as his head was inclined downward. This was too much for him.
" I just want to become a better person, is that too much to ask for?" He whispered to himself and shook his head, with the least amount of sorrow playing with him.
Suddenly, he recalled what today signified, and he widened his eyes immediately....
" How could I forget?" Liam halted and ruffled his hair.
He had just recollected today was his anniversary with his girlfriend.
He had been too occupied with his thought, to the extent he forgot about his dating anniversary.
" I hope Beverly doesn't get disappointed." He muttered to himself, glancing around, as he patted his pocket at the same time.
Quickly, he rushed to the mall to get something. Although, he didn't have any penny on him, except his transport fare, but he had no choice than to use the money to get a gift for his girl.
Making her happy was the only thing that could relieve him of his sorrows.
It didn't take long before Liam got out of the mall. Things were too costly, so he could only afford an anniversary cake.
Even at that, he still had mixed feelings, cause he wasn't sure how his girlfriend might react to the cake he brought.
With no choice, Liam took a deep breath and trekked to his girlfriend's house.
After thirty minutes, he got to his girlfriend's house, with a look of anxiety. His heart started beating fast, but he tried to calm himself down. He was still thinking of how his girlfriend will react to the cake he brought, as he truly love her too much. In fact, he was ready to go extra miles for her.
Recalling the face of his girlfriend was already enough to spread a smile on his face and set his beating heart on flames! Tingling feelings brewing in him, as his face started flushing gradually.
Right now, he was dying to see her again and spend some time with her....
Truly, love was a splendid feeling!
With determination, Liam took some steps forward, but when he got to the front door of his girlfriend's apartment, he abruptly halted!
*Giggles*
“Don’t touch there...”
“You’re so wild baby, I don’t know how your boyfriend would think if he saw his loving girl was so...oh...”
Unexpectedly, he overhead strange sounds coming from inside his girlfriend's apartment. He knitted his brows instantly, as his heart leaped in fright.....
" Beverly, I didn't know you can satisfy me in this way. I am so impressed!"
Again, he heard a deep man's voice, that made his brain to summersaulted! He was flabbergasted and astounded!
He didn't know why, but he became worried as his brain already processed different things going on.......
Without wasting anytime, he swiftly pushed the door open, but what he saw next, made his jaws dropped down........
He blinked his eyes repeatedly, finding it hard to process what he was seeing .........
His fingers slowly pointed to what he was seeing in a shuddering manner....
His girlfriend was..... intimate with another person????
Instantly, the cake in his hands dropped down .........
" Beverly!!" Liam yelled with shock right on top of his trembling voice. He was in despair, seeing this. At this time, Beverly and the man beside him, were startled before realizing Liam was already back. Instantly, Beverly cowered and tried to cover her face in shame, as an unknown fear surged in her heart..She wasn't anticipating Liam to be back yet. Liam just stood still like a statue and watched them like his senses had flew away. He was only quivering like a thin lost leaf. Beverly felt so damned and quickly got up from the bed, struggling to clad some parts of her body, but she avoided staring into Liam's furious eyes. " Liam, you are back? How....was..t..he job interview?" She stuttered, trying hard to find a way to explain herself, as she scratched the back of her head awkwardly. " Liam, please, I can explain. This is not what you are thinking. Just give me....a chance please." She begged worriedly, stealing glances between the two men. But compare to her, th
Beverly just ignored Liam and rolled her eyes.The man laughed out loud, his body jerking slightly as he did. He was now Beverly's new lover, Max. " You don't know anything like Beverly said!" He scoffed, " I told you, you don't know the power of wealth, and you can't know it even after you die! In fact, I am sure your past generations has never experienced what it feels like to be wealthy, influential, prominent, and powerful! And to top it all, even your future generation will never experience what wealth feels like, cause I won't give them a chance through you!" "Oh, you don't know what I am capable of doing, Liam Storm! But guess what, I don't want you to know! I am rich, extremely rich and capable!" He laughed out loud again and stood up. He turned to his left side and took out a pack of cigar. He tore it and picked out a cigar, then lit it before inhaling it. Max sighed with a smile, as he felt the feel of the cigar and let it to dangle perpetually out of his mouth.
Words were short from Liam's mouth, cause it took him a while before his brain could process what he was seeing. He pointed to the person and parted his lips but didn't say anything. The person, who came out from the first limousine was an old man, who was familiar to Liam. The latter was flabbergasted because he definitely knew the old man, but what he couldn't get was, why was the old man here? And why was he in a limousine? It was hard for Liam to understand, because the old man was his former neighbor, who he had knew for years, but he wasn't rich like this. In fact, sometimes he struggled to eat once in a day, so how on earth could he afford a limousine, not to talk of ten fucking expensive cars! This was so impossible! Liam couldn't comprehend what happened to his former neighbor. At the same time, as he was thinking, the old man turned to the other cars and gave some instructions to the people inside the car, before facing Liam. He adjusted his tailor made suit
Liam was godsmacked! The last person he was expecting to see, was the person he was facing currently. He was astonished, simply because he knew the person waiting for him. It was totally unbelievable, and he frowned!A deep laughter resounded out, but it only brought pressure to the butler and the guards present. " Are you astonished to see me or the other way?" A familiar man, sitting calmly on the couch, with a noble look, his body radiating of nothing but grace! Liam looked back at the old man and glared at him but didn't utter anything. The familiar person was none other than Liam's father, Bruce Will. " Nah, now don't look at the butler like that. He means well." Bruce smiled, as he pointed to the old man, who brought Liam to the mansion. Liam took a deep breath to suppressed the inner turmoil and the brewing anger in him! Obviously, he wasn't pleased to see his father, and he pondered on why his father wanted to see him. Ever since his father had left him in his youn
Liam couldn't believe what he heard again from his father! Before he could say a word or reply, his father had vanished with the rest. The mansion suddenly became lonely, and he exhaled, rubbing his face. He took a seat, and his mind flew to everything that had happened today. It was all too fast and unbelievable. Who would have imagined such a thing? He checked the black golden card again and shook his head. Later in the evening, Liam decided to show up at the party, which was going to take place at one of the biggest bar in the city. There was no exotic car for him now, so he decided to take a cab to the party. During the drive, he shut his eyes slightly, reminiscing about what his father said earlier. He couldn't just stop thinking about it. 1 million for a day at the party?! How was he supposed to spend that?! He got unbalanced again and squeezed his face in discomfort. He just believed that was impossible, but he had to try because of the next thing coming for him.
The bartender's mouth went wide like it just got hit by a frog! " 100 bottles?!" He screamed in his mind and quickly rushed forward to meet Liam again. In this way, he pushed Sarah, the timid bar assistant, away and faced Liam with a polite look. Sarah, who was moved aside swiftly, ended up pulling her brows together as a small squirm escaped from her mouth, out of shock. " Mr. Graceful, I am back. I don't have any other things to do again, so I will serve you now. You want 100 bottles right? For that, you will get an extra free drink." He unhurriedly said, respectfully attending to Liam, who narrowed his eyes with a displeased look." That's how we treat our good customers. And you know what? The 100 bottles aren't available at once now, but I will made a quick order now, and it shall be delivered before you know it." The bartender added to his words, without minding Liam's displeased look. What he was inwardly calculating was the bonus and profit he was going to get f
Liam didn't feel disappointed anymore. He was slowly getting used to this, and at this point, it only dawned on him the kind of person his ex was. He sighed and finally decided to take a seat to put all his thoughts together. As he sat down calmly, he seized himself up and down but actually, he was satisfied with his look. He believed he didn't have to show a flashy look, before his worth could be revealed. Just then, as he was thinking, the bar door clicked open and his coursemates in the college, started walking in, filling the bar at the same time. From their looks, it was evident they were all doing well, and appearing graceful and honorable as ever!They stormed in, with their expensive outfits, shoes, bags, watch, looks, and so on, with satisfied cool look all plastered on their faces. Some of them even came with their lovers. But as expected, none of them talked to Liam or even greeted him. They all ignored him like he didn't exist and just focused on others. Evidentl
What followed his statement, was nothing, but a hall engulfed in absolute silence! But soon after, a loud burst of laughter resounded, as everyone instantly regained their senses. They all made a derisive laughter and pointed their fingers at him. " Did you just hear that? A worthless idiot want to buy the most expensive drink here?" " He can't even afford an ordinary buns, not to talk of bread, worst of all, an expensive drink! Oh, he must be kidding!" " Kidding? This is far from that! He is just bragging, trying to make us know he is also not ordinary!" " He must be a fool to think like that! Who does he wants to impress? Us? What can a poverty sicken dog like him do to impress us? This is absolutely unworthy and just depict how dump he is!" " I agree! Even if he has the money to buy a drink, I suggest he should use it to improve his life, especially his condition of living. Just look at the ordinary cloth he is putting on, even my cleaner's salary can afford his cloth
