“What the fuck is going on here? Is anyone around?” Pharrell again whirled but there was no one. Just him in the middle of the big empty road.
[Host: This is the SIMPING system. You’ll receive TEN THOUSAND dollars on your BANK account. This money is to be spent entirety.]“Oh damn, I get the voice again.” He slowly uttered.“Ten thousand dollars? Please how legit is this?” Pharrell gratefully stated, at the same time searching for the voice that was talking to him.Instantly, a screen appeared. It was showcasing his account which was as dry as an empty street. In his account, he had just 2$. He parted his lips and was about to speak.He was about to ask how the system got to know him and how it knew about his bank account. Apparently there was no time for him to speak up as his account got credited with the sum of ten thousand dollars. His eyes widened and his mouth formed an O“What?!” His mouth was left wide open.Ding!He received a message. He searched through his ripped jeans till he brought his phone out of his pocket. Opening to the message, he realized that he just got an alert from his phone. Holding onto his phone tightly, he could only smile because it was the first time his account ever got credited with that sum of money.“Thank you so much. It means the system is real. I now have enough money to pay for my bills. My house rent, foodstuff and probably open a business of my own. I won't have to work for peanuts” He said, his face covered with a thousand smiles.[Host Pharrell Crawley, excuse me to shatter your dreams, but it will be impossible for you to use the money for your purpose. If you do this then the money will be deducted from your account and you will be left with only $50.][On the other way round, you have to spend all the money in exactly two hours or else you are going to receive an affliction.]Pharrell was amazed when the system said that. This was someone who was used to managing $200 for a whole month, and the system was asking him to spend Ten thousand dollars in two hours? How was he supposed to do that? He thought.“I don’t know what I’m supposed to spend the money on. Since you said I can’t use the money for myself, I don’t know what to do with it”“If I could use it for personal stuff, then I was going to pay my landlord, buy clothes and even restock my appliances.” Pharrell pitifully stated. His head was lowered and he still couldn’t recover that he had such money with him.[I am going to direct you on what to spend on, just keep walking.]Immediately the system said, Pharrell began walking. After twenty minutes of his short journey, he finally arrived at a restaurant. He was about to cross pass the restaurant when he saw Alessia seated in there with her friend Mia.Unfortunately for him, they both did eye contact. Alessia sighed and looked away. From her looks, you could tell Pharrell was a piece of ray who was a thorn in her flesh.Though he was sad because the system denied him from using the system, he felt vulnerable when Alessia added her own share of the cake. He stood outside the restaurant and was watching the two girls through the glass windows, at the same time posing himself some delicate questions.He was busily daydreaming when the system again spoke.[Agent Pharrell, Mia is the target. You would have to spend ten thousand dollars on her!]“What?!” He screamed before retaining himself, you can’t ask me to do that. That girl happens to be…” He had not finished expressing himself when the system barged at him.[Agent Pharrell, it was not a proposal, but an order. You have to spend the money all on her. I’m sure you know what is going to happen in case you refuse to cooperate.]Every word the system uttered echoed in Pharrell’s head. He knew if he went against the system, he was not only going to lose the money but equally receive an affliction.He rearranged the collar of his shirt, tucked his hand in his pocket and then walked into the restaurant.“Good evening Mia, how is your night going?” When Pharrell approached the two ladies, he began by greeting his old time classmate. It’s quite unfortunate that she didn’t reciprocate his greetings.Alessia was enjoying her meal until Pharrell burst out. Just his scene was aching. She was forced to excused herself as she wanted nothing to do with him.“As you can see, I’m more than fine.” Mia sipped from her glass of soft drink before uttering rudely.“Can we both talk?” He questioned Mia, but then the look on her face was enough for him to hide off his face.She first glared around to be sure Pharrell was addressing her.“Speak with who? I see you have no respect for your seniors.”“Do you take me for your mate or what? What can an impoverished human being like you want to discuss with a sophisticated baby girl like me?” She scanned him from head to toe before questioning.“I want you to please help me get Alessia back. I love her so much and I can’t take that chance of losing her. Please help me.” Pharrell lowered his head before explaining himself. He was acting like a three-year-old dude who was begging for candy.“Hahaha… you must be mad if you think I am going to talk to my friend regarding what you just asked me.”“By the way, she just found herself a rich man who would pay the bills. I even wonder what she was doing with you. After warning her that you are an indigent person, she still went ahead to date you. Luckily she discovered you have nothing to offer. That’s why she left immediately you stepped in. In other words, you just spoiled our day.”“I am just thankful that she was able to open her eyes regarding your case. You can’t afford to take care of her, yet you want me to speak to her.”“This only shows how greedy you are, Pharrell. Why don’t you thrive on getting a better job? When you’ve made it in life, come back and I will connect you to her. For now, you still have a long way to go, so get to work. Don’t waste my time any longer .” She reprimanded.After hearing Mia pour all those words, he was hurt. He could feel his head slowly detaching from his body, but he had to be strong. If he wanted Alessia back in his life, then he had to be strong.His throat was heavy, making him swallow the heavy lump that was tight in there. He opened his mouth but then he had nothing to say. Quick, he glared at the restaurant’s menu, followed by what the system told him and then he parted his lips.“I am not here to waste your time, Mia. I promise to buy you a bottle of wine if you do that for me.” He said, waiting to hear her response.She burst into laughter hearing him say that. “Pharrell, can you hear yourself sometimes? Look at yourself, look at the type of clothes you are putting on. How can someone of your nature think you can afford the cheapest wine in this place?”“This is not your local workshop where you deliver burgers for $2. We spend big money here, okay boy?”“I am not kidding. All you have to do is accept to help me and I am going to order the most expensive wine here for you.” He had done all his possible best to keep a low tone, but the heavens weren’t fair with him. He was so pissed that he didn’t realize at what time he was screaming.The customers seated around Mia’s table turned and started making a mockery of him. Some covered their mouths with their hands when laughing while some openly mocked him.“Get the hell out of here, you are just an empty vessel who keeps making noise.” Mia said vehemently.“Do you think I am kidding? I am going to show you what stuff I am made of. Just promise me that once I get the wine you promise to help me with the revenge of Alessia?” Pharrell said, keeping his hands beneath his thighs.“You know what, you are boring. But anyway I will just give you a chance to rediculate yourself. Go to the counter and let’s see what happens.” As soon as Mia mentioned it, Pharrell left for the counter.Reaching there, the lady in charge of the restaurant was registering the company’s data in her laptop. Pharrell cleared his throat which caused the lady to stop what she was doing and glared at him.“What can I do for you, boy?” She asked, then returned to what she was doing.“I don’t think that is a good way to address your customers. Anyway, can I see the catalog for your most expensive wines?” He asked, his one leg slightly raised above the other.“And what do you want to do with our catalog?” The sales lady asked, still concentrating on her laptop.“Is there tw
“What are you doing here, Mia? Are you with this fool?” Alessia bombarded at once. She turned and stared at Pharrell maliciously then glared back at her friend.Mia went silent for two seconds before parting her lips, “And you, what are you doing here? You didn’t tell me you left…” Mia had not finished talking until she heard someone screaming Alessia’s name at the other section of the building. Without a doubt, she knew it was her boss.“Sorry for the interruption, I will get back to you later.” Alessia smiled and took her leave.Her new boyfriend wanted them to quickly shop so that they could go back home. He had some business calls to make, so spending all the time at the shop was not good for him.“Yes, darling. You called me.” Alessia replied seductively.“I thought we came here to shop? What were you still doing over there?” Donald; her new boyfriend inquired.“Sorry darling,” She kissed him, “I was discussing with a friend.”“Okay, okay. Enough of this already. Just pick what y
“You are shopping with this idiot? Do you think he can get you anything in this lucrative shop?” Alessia asked, trying to persuade her friend. “Have you forgotten that I broke up with him because he had nothing to offer? Are you willing to commit that same error, Mia?” Alessia stated, yet there was no response from Mia.She was staring at the bag until a deep and husky voice tempered with her peace. “Isn’t that the bag I asked you to deposit? What is this piece of rag doing with it? Can he even afford it?” Donald asked, raising his hand in the air.“I doubt so, hun. He can’t, I don’t know why Mia is wasting her time with him here. I don’t even know what he gave her.” Alessia placed her hands on her middle before responding.“The funniest thing is the fact that he keeps following me around. I have told him already that I no longer want to be in this f*cking relationship. He is surely using Mia to get to me.” Immediately she uttered this, Pharrell’s lips edged up in a brilliant smile. H
Donald was still unable to process what was going on. The scene was quite scary for him. He was the chief executive officer of a bank, but he would never get to buy a whole shop. How did a simple commoner like him get to gather lots of money? That’s the question that was running through his mind. “Are you sure he bought everything? You should check very kindly. Don’t allow this thing here dupe you.” Donald insisted.“Yes, Sir. I already checked everything. His card wired the 9000 dollars to our account.” The lady paused before continuing, “I’m sorry but I also included your luggage in the bills, since you had not yet paid for the stuff.” The sales lady struggled to speak.“Oh, that… don’t bother, let them have the things. I was only trying to prove a point to these people.” Pharrell said, his lips swelling up in smiles.Right behind Donald was Alessia who cupped her hands on her mouth. It was amazing to see him pay for quite an expensive shop. “You know, I thought you were just jock
“Woman, I don’t permit you to talk to me. I’m not part of them, so I won’t watch you use that tone on me.” Pharrell said pointedly.“To begin with, I’m called Nathalia.” She said before whirling around, “I won’t also advice you to call me a mother. Because I don’t look like the person who birth you.” She exclaimed bitterly.“Alright Nathalia, would you please allow me out of your issues, because I ain’t part of them. I’m no one’s brother. I only came here to have a good time.” Pharrell insisted.Nathalia felt hurt for talking to him making use of that tone. It didn’t cross her mind that Pharrell was on his own. Seeing him focusing on them, she lose patient and started yelling at him as if he was part of the show.“I’m sorry that I had to mix you with everything that was going on. Can you please put this at the back of your mind?” She assembled her hands together before demandingWith no response coming from Pharrell, she parted her lips and started talking again. “Okay, I do understan
Throughout the argument between Alessia, Donald and Pharrell, Mia took her leave. She knew it was going to be a difficult moment for her, should Alessia find out she was still there.Though she left the shop without telling anyone, she called another friend of hers and asked them to meet up in a restaurant, where they wined and dined. She was making sure that what she did wasn’t going to affect Alessia. After a round of talks, she finally left for her apartment.On reaching, Alessia was in the room and blow-drying her hair. Mia entered, removed her shoes. Still, she was unable to face her friend.“I searched for you but you weren’t around. What happened?” Alessia turned off the hair machine and asked.“I-I… I left with some friends.” Mia started stuttering, but did everything to arrange that.“And you, are you okay?” She faced her.“Sure, I’ll be fine.” Alessia replied coldly. Her voice was low and void of emotion.“Huh? You are always fine, is there a problem?” Mia insisted.“Well, t
“These plastics are just so heavy for me.” Pharrell whispered to himself, as he struggled to carry the plastics, “Is that how rich people suffer when they go shopping?” He struggled till he arrived in his room. He had seen his landlord and so settled his debt. He took a cold bath and tried some of the clothes he bought including the ones Nathalia got for him.“Wow, this one looks nice.” He said, as he glared at himself through the mirror.“They all look nice. I don’t know if I want to keep doing this. This is just the perfect lifestyle for me.” “I just wish the system is gonna keep sending me $10,000 every morning. If that’s the case, then I’m ready to reach the top.” He said,He checked his bank account and noticed there was still some money left with him. Quickly, an idea of what he could do with that popped in.“Let’s go to the spa. I have to discover what the feeling looks like.” He had never had the opportunity to be at a spa because it cost so much. He was just a delivery guy
“Hey handsome , I got this glass of wine for you. I’m sure it will go a long way to quench your taste.” The lady vividly smiled as she passed the glass to him.He smiled., but then managed to take it anyway. He was surprised because he found himself in a big spa. And from what he could retain was that the workers were supposed to be professional when dealing with their clients. Calling a stranger who just came in for services shouldn’t be called using those names.“Thank you.” He said. He took the glass and dropped it on the next table by his side.“When you get done with your drink, let me know so I can take care of you in the proper way.” She said, trying to seduce him.Pharrell’s face darkened as he was trying to understand what was going on. What did she mean by the words she just said? Is that how they communicated with their customers? His subconscious kept pondering.“I think I want someone else to do the services for me.” He said politely. Her brows furrowed when she heard him
