“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. He was forced to respond even though that’s not what he wanted. He intended snobbing her till they got out of there, but looking at things, it was best he defended himself.“If you think I’m still interested in this relationship then you are crazy. I am no longer interested. If you see me here, that simply means I am shopping. So can you please get off your high horse?” He said, making use of the sweetest voice possible.Hearing him speak, she mocked and clapped. “You are just a bloody liar. I saw the shock on your face when I told you it was over. You literally had tears in your eyes, so don’t tell me that rubbish.”“If you are really telling the truth of not wanting to be in a relationship, what then are you doing here? And why are you in my friend's company? Because as long as I remember, Mia has never paid attention to you.”“Hahaha…” Pharrell started laughing. “You think I am entitled to you? What makes you think you can ask silly questions as it used to be in those days? I can go anywhere I want and where I feel like visiting.” With a grin on his face, he leashed out.“Those days you kept asking to know where I was, what I was doing and with who I was. Those days are gone, do you get me? We are no longer together so you can’t ask me those questions.”“Don’t you ever ask me any question concerning my whereabouts, or what I am doing. And one last thing, I am not the same person you use to date. As you can see, there’s a clear difference now. I am now a changed person.” Pharrell added vehemently. His tone was quite aching. He had never spoken to Alessia in that manner. It was so frustrating that she glared at herself just to be sure he was speaking to her.“You are now a changed person? How can this be even possible?” She said, doubting his words. “A few hours ago you were on the point of shattering into pieces when I told you I used your money to get myself new clothes. How come you are now a changed person?”“It's funny because you’ve amassed so much money to the point of getting this bag for Mia.” Alessia mentioned.Donald placed his hand on Alessia’s shoulders before uttering, “Don’t let this man here get to you with his blind words. Do you really think he has that money he is talking about? He is just trying to impress you, nothing more. If not, he has no single penny with him.”“If you really had the money as you claim, then you would have gotten this bag. Buy this bag and prove to us that you got some cash with you.” Donald faced Pharrell and affronted him.Pharrell’s lips edged up in a smile. He parted his lips and was about to speak when he got interrupted by the system.[Host Pharrell, the engagement system is -25%. Do something about this.]“Is that how little you think of me, dear CEO?” He pockets his hands in his trousers and started laughing. “I would not only buy this bag. Because if I do, I’ll be insulting myself before you guys. “I will make sure I pay for every stuff in this shop.” Pharrell said confidently, causing a smirk to escape from Donald’s lips.“It would be my pleasure to watch you rant and do nothing.” Donald declared.Angry about his speech, Pharrell calls out on the sales lady who was attending to another client in the other ward. She left the client and rushed to him.“You called me Sir, is there anything I can do for you?” The asked.“Yes. I want you to stop proposing to all the clients here, because I am going to pay for everything in this shop.” He made his intentions know.The girl began by laughing. It was a funny and embarrassing moment for her. A struggling worker batched in and asked him to stop proposing items because he wanted to buy the whole shop.“Do you have an idea of how much all that cost, Sir? It is big money. The kind of money I doubt you’ll be able to afford.” The sales lady said.“Can you calculate all what ton have in this shop and let me know? Let me know how much they all cost. I’m willing to pay for the all.” He insisted.Shocked and devastated, the lady took some time for herself before reaching to the counter. There was no way she was going to be harsh with him. Her boss had warned her never to be rude towards a client. So she was going to do just as he requested.When she reached to the counter and started calculating all the products in the shop, Donald and Alessia were now attentive. They weren’t going to miss out on a single detail.Twenty minutes passed. The lady was now done with everything. She raised her head, and faced Pharrell. “Sir, your total cost is 9000 dollars.”“Hahaha…” Donald laughed and laughed. “Do you see him like someone who has 9000 dollars? You should be stupid for calculating everything that was in this shop. Instead of attending to your clients, you are paying full attention to this time waster.” At this time, Alessia was standing right behind him and clutched her little hand bag to her petite body.After yelling at the sales lady, Donald made a U-turn and stood in front of Pharrell. “If you make this sell, then I’m going to lick your shoes. I am going to lick them in such a manner that, they will never get dirty.”Pharell smiled and trailed away. Tucking his hand in his pocket, he brought his card and handed it to the sales lady. “This my card, you can withdraw the money from here.”Still doubting this affair, she proceeded to take the card. She swapped it and the transfer was successful.“The transfer was successful, Sir. You’ve paid for all the stuff in this shop. Thank you so much.” The lady said in joy.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
“Now?” Pharrell was amazed, “I mean, it’s late and I think you would love to have a nap now.” Pharrell pretentiously said. He was dying to have a conversation with her, but then something prompted him to play a smart game.“Hahaha…” she started laughing, then got back to her normal state. “You are right, this is the time I usually go to bed, but at least, it’s good for me to know how your voice sounds. So, should I give you a call?” Tana volunteered for the second time and he accepted.After his message was sent, she didn’t waste any further minutes to give him a call. He also replied as soon as an incoming call entered. The duo had a ten minute conversation, during which they both talked about their lives and the cities in which they live.Surprisingly, Tana and Pharell both shared the same city. They even attended the same university and were almost in the same camp.“Wow, instead of after tomorrow, I suggest we should meet tomorrow at the canteen. We can have breakfast together, an
“Do you know him?” Alessia tapped Tana by the shoulder and whispered in her ear. Tana was going to respond when Nelson cleared his throat. This action of his caused the two girls to face him.“Is there any problem, Nelson?” Alessia asked curiously.“The young man dressed in denim jeans,” Nelson turned and looked at him again, just to be sure of the person he wanted to talk about. “Isn’t that the guy you were dating?” Though his expensive clothes made him doubt, he was sure he had seen Alessia before with the dude. “Humm…” She opened her mouth but was unable to express herself. She didn’t want Nelson to be aware that she was dating Pharrell. What if he mocked her now that she was no longer with him“Nope, I have never been with him.” She pretentiously said and looked in another direction.“Do you know him,” Alessia asked Tana who woke up from her seat and was approaching Pharrell.“I will talk to you later,” Those were the words she uttered before joining Pharrell.“You are Pharrell,
