“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 two reason why a client would demand for the catolog? Of course I’ll like to get a bottle of wine.” Pharrell said provocatively.“Are you sure you are fine? Or are you drunk?” The lady asked, scanning him from head to toe.Looking at him, he was wearing a second hand ripped Jean that looked dirty and a light-coloured shirt, accompanied with a pair of convex shoes. His hair was as well shabby. What did a guy dressed in those clothes want to do with the catalog of the most expensive wines? She thought.“I’m very okay, why don’t you show me the catalog? I would like to order some.” He snapped.His initial plan was to order just for Mia. Seeing the other customers who were mocking him, he decided to command some of them. The system stated he could spend on anyone apart from him. Why not chill?“I see your type. You probably got paid and you are looking forward to hyping yourself. Well, this place is not for your kind.” The sales lady said, but Pharrell insisted on seeing the catalog and price tag. In his words ‘I won’t leave till you show me the catalog’ The crowd was now creating more tension and this triggered her to shove the catalog to him.Once he opened it, he was amazed to see that the most expensive wine was something he could command for all the dudes seated.“Serve each and everyone here a bottle of Tempranillo. I’ll endorse the bills.” Pharrell stated, his voice growing softer.“You must be mad if you think I am going to consider your request. You better get out of here, cause we don’t have time for you.”“No, please don’t let him go, he is quite entertaining. I love the fact he can dream big.” A client said in the middle of the hall.“What are you still doing there? Calculate the number of people and serve them. Give me the bills and I’ll fucking pay now.” Pharrell insisted.“Are you crazy dude, do you have an idea of how much that is going to cost?”“That is none of your business. Just calculate the price and let me know.” Pharrell hissed.While the lady took out her calculator to calculate everything, the customers were carefully watching to see what was going to happen after next.“This is your bill, Mr. man.” The lady wrote everything on paper and handed it over to him.“Alright, this is my card, deduct the money. You can collect yours too.” He said,Though she was skeptical, she managed to take the card from him. She swiped the card and to her greatest surprise, he had enough money in his card.“Payment successful.” She confirmed, making the clients wide open their eyes and mouths.The person who couldn’t believe it was Mia. She could literally put her hands into fire just to affirm that Pharrell had no money in his account. Now she looked more than stupid before him.“Serve the lady in the green gown first before the others.” He was referring to Mia.After Mia was served, Pharrell joined her table. Clicking his lips, he was waiting for her to say something.“Pharrell, I am so sorry that I didn’t believe in you. I promise to help you take your revenge on Alessia.” She said, her voice growing softer. From her approach, you could tell she was talking to some god.“I appreciate it. Do enjoy your wine.” He said, his lips curling up in a smile.“Thank you Sir,” Those were the next set of words uttered by everyone in the hall.“You are all welcome.” He coldly stated.While he watched the customers and Mia herself enjoying their wines, he received another alert from the system.[Your two hours would soon elapse and you still have some money left with you. I don’t need to remind you if you decide to play safe.]Pharrell’s eyes widened at the system’s remark. He glared at his watch and he was left with just forty-five minutes before the end of the two hours.Looking at Mia, something popped into his head. He wiped his chin with his palm then proceeded to ask.“Would you like to get some new clothes and shoes? I’m talking about shopping in one of the biggest boutiques in town.” He said and instantly, Mia’s jaws swelled up in a brilliant smile.“Yes of course. I would love to do this with you. When do you intend to take me shopping so I know when to prepare.” She asked, still smiling.“Now. I want to take you out now.” He uttered.“Oh wow. Can I finish my wine first?” She asked, but Pharrell declined. He said they were going to do this some other time.She quickly dropped what she had in hand and followed him to the fashion store. On their arrival, Pharrell was denied access. His ripped clothes made it hard for the security guards to let him slide just like that.“He has money, trust me when I say that. Pharrell, please show them what you are worth.” Mia said to the securities.“Do you think a man like him can have money to shop here? This place is damn expensive.”“Believe me when I say he has the money. He has the bucks, dear securities.” After a series of discussions, the guards finally allowed them to enter.They got to the most expensive area, and they started picking clothes. Mia did choose all the later designs in the house.As they were shopping and discussing, Pharrell started resenting a perfume in the area. He could tell that perfume belonged to someone he knew. Someone he had spent most of his time with.Out of curiosity, he made a U turn to take a look at the person wearing the perfume. Behold, he was faced with Alessia.“You again? Are you perhaps stalking me? Didn’t I tell you it was finished already?” Without waiting for Pharrell to express himself, she ridge to the counter and made the sales lady understand that there was someone stalking her.In a few minutes, she was back with the sales lady behind her.“This is him here, he is stalking me. Please ask your guards to walk him out.” Alessia burst out.“Young man, can you tell me what you are doing In our magazine?” The lady asked politely.“I am here because I want to shop.” He said but Alessia and her new boyfriend began laughing.“Lies, I know that you are here to spy on my woman. Madam, please ask him to leave or else we are going to leave for the next shop.” Alessia’s boyfriend warned.Mia was behind and could hear voices, she stepped out of the closet and began approaching. “What’s wrong here?” She asked, without seeing the faces.“You?!”“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
“I think it was Tammy who triggered that. If he didn’t put his mouth into what doesn’t concern him then maybe the lady would have pardoned me. Now look at what he created.” Pharrell tapped his legs on the bamboo floor before disdainfully explaining himself.He didn’t like the fact that he was thrown out like a commoner just because of a slight mistake he made. How was he supposed to know that the other dude wasn’t referring to money? He pondered.“Since I was kicked out of the call, I think I should go to bed now.” He slowly woke up from his desk and started approaching his bed. He forcefully climbed on it and covered himself with the duvet. In the space of some minutes, he abruptly woke up when all he could see was the lady’s image.“I have to try another chance. I hope this time around, she would have put that at the back of her mind.” He mumbled as he took his phone, and joined back again.Everything was going on smoothly and they were even playing a game when he arrived. She had t
