The crowd erupted in laughter, and the old man stormed out of the showroom, clearly fuming. Elijah turned back to the salesman, his smirk softening into a composed expression. “So, how much longer for the paperwork?” he asked smoothly, as if nothing had happened.The salesman adjusted his tie, clearly more respectful now after witnessing Elijah’s seamless transaction. “It’ll take about 20 more minutes to finalize everything,” he said, a polite smile replacing the earlier doubt in his eyes.“Take your time,” Elijah replied calmly, stepping aside to let them work.The staff moved quickly, organizing paperwork and confirming the transfer. When everything was ready, the salesman handed Elijah the final documents, including the keys to the BMW M5. “Congratulations, sir. Everything is complete,” he said, offering a firm handshake.Elijah accepted it with a small nod.The salesman hesitated for a moment before introducing himself. “My name is Jacob Foster. I must say, Mr. Westbrook, you’ve

Meanwhile, Sophia was lounging on her bed, scrolling through her phone lazily when a notification popped up. Her eyes darted to the screen, and a wide grin spread across her face as she saw the bank alert."Credit Alert: $20,000."Her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t help but laugh softly. It was the money Damian had promised her. Just as she was basking in the joy of the deposit, her phone began to ring. It was Damian.She answered, her tone light and playful. "Hello, Mr. Moneybags."Damian chuckled on the other end. "I just sent the money, baby. Did you get it?”"I did! Just saw the alert," she replied happily. "You’re the best. I’m going to treat myself nice today.""You see the blessings after sacking that guy?" Damian teased, his tone filled with mockery.Sophia chuckled, shaking her head. "I don’t even know where he is now. Probably walking around the streets, looking for a job or something."Damian burst into laughter. "Poor kid. Maybe he’ll find a place in a fast food jo

Some customers behind him gasped audibly, their murmurs filling the air."Did he just say $28,000?""Who even spends that on clothes in one trip?"Elijah reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and opened his banking app. Without batting an eye, he said, "Can you give me the account details? I’ll transfer it now."Brandon’s eyebrows rose. "Of course, sir. Let me pull that up for you." He handed Elijah a printed slip with the store’s payment information.As Elijah confidently tapped away on his phone, attempting to make the transfer, an unexpected message popped up: "Transaction declined: Daily spending limit exceeded."Elijah frowned, refreshing the app and trying again. The same message appeared. A wave of confusion and annoyance crept over him."That’s strange," he muttered under his breath, trying once more.The murmurs from the line behind him grew louder, their frustration mounting."What’s taking so long?" one woman asked loudly."This is ridiculous. Some of us have other

He frowned deeper. Ethan and Sophia all were using same bank so it wasn't strange that they both had arrived at same place.Sophia's car came to a halt, the driver's side door opening smoothly. She stepped out, looking as polished and confident as ever. Her sharp eyes scanned the area, only to land on Elijah.Her expression shifted from neutral to sheer surprise. "Elijah?" she said, narrowing her eyes.Elijah stared back at her, his face unreadable but his clenched jaw betraying his irritation. Although anger bubbled within him at the mere sight of Sophia, he couldn’t deny the truth staring him in the face—she was still stunning. The way her outfit hugged her figure, the subtle sheen of her perfectly styled hair catching the sunlight, and the confident sway of her steps were all enough to momentarily stall his thoughts.Sophia’s eyes trailed over Elijah’s outfit as he passed, her surprise evident. The clean-cut designer shirt, perfectly fitted jeans, and fresh sneakers didn’t match t

Her words echoed around the bank, all eyes now drawn to Elijah. Some of the onlookers seemed to chuckle, others just stared, but all of them were now watching the interaction unfold.The bank attendants at the counter looked up as Sophia and Elijah exchanged tense words, quickly stepping in to defuse the situation."No fighting here, please," the attendant said firmly, raising a hand. "Both of you, please come forward and tell us what the issue is. We’ll sort this out quickly."Sophia, still eager to make her point, walked forward and gave the attendant a bright, almost triumphant smile. "I’m here to fix my card," she said, tossing her hair back dramatically. "I’ve had some issues with it, and I need to get it sorted now.”Elijah, meanwhile, had taken a step forward, but his voice was quieter, holding back the frustration from his earlier exchange with Sophia. "I... I need to extend my bank limit," he said, keeping his words calm. "And also apply for a new card.”The attendant with

After hanging up, the manager turned back to Elijah with an even brighter smile. “Everything is being expedited as we speak. And once this is complete, you’ll have access to all our VIP privileges—financial advisors, exclusive investment plans, you name it. We’ll cater to every need of yours.”The manager leaned back slightly, his expression shifting to one of curiosity. He glanced at the records on his screen, his brow furrowing slightly. “If I may ask, Mr. Elijah, your account activity until recently wasn’t reflecting such large transactions. But from hours ago, your transactions seem to have jumped significantly. Is there a story behind this sudden change?”Elijah’s jaw tightened slightly, but he maintained his calm demeanor. He wasn’t about to share the details of how he got the money. Instead, he offered a vague explanation. “My trading account blew up.”The manager’s eyes widened, a mix of awe and respect spreading acros

Sierra didn’t reply, but her lips pressed into a thin line as Daniel closed the distance between them.As Daniel got closer, his confident smile widened, and he casually slid his phone into his pocket. His eyes locked onto Sierra, ignoring the buzz of whispers and stares around them."Well, well," he began smoothly, his voice rich and playful, "if it isn’t Sierra Lane, the most beautiful sight on this campus. Should I assume you’re the reason the sun is shining so brightly today?"Betty snickered, nudging Sierra slightly. "Smooth as ever," she muttered under her breath.Sierra raised an eyebrow at Daniel, crossing her arms. "Is that your opening line now, Everhart? Did the Audi come with that level of cheesiness, or are you just getting rusty?"Daniel laughed, undeterred. "Ah, you wound me, Sierra. Here I am, pulling off those drifts just to get your attention, and this is the thanks I get? No applause?

Sierra narrowed her eyes at Betty, a playful suspicion lacing her tone. "Tell me, Betty, did this guy pay you or something? You're always supporting him, no matter what."Betty gasped dramatically, clutching her chest. "Me? Paid by Daniel Everhart? Oh, Sierra, how could you accuse me of such betrayal!""Betty," Sierra said flatly, "you're literally grinning right now."Betty burst out laughing. "Okay, fine, maybe I just like seeing you squirm. It's entertaining. But hey, if he did pay me, I’d be driving that black Audi of his by now."Sierra shook her head, trying to hide her smile. "You’re impossible.”Betty wagged her finger teasingly. "No, no. I'm just here to make sure you have an epic college story to tell one day. 'Remember that time Daniel Everhart, the campus heartthrob, begged me for a dinner date at one of the most expensive restaurants in the city?' Sounds pretty good, don’t you think?"Sierra rolled her eyes but couldn't help laughing. "Yeah, sure, Betty. Next time he bri

Inside, Elijah was led into a grand, elegantly furnished living area. The bodyguard gestured toward a large, luxurious couch.“Please, have a seat. I’ll go call Ms. Valencia,” he said before turning to leave.Elijah nodded. “Alright.”As he settled into the plush couch, he let his gaze wander around the room. The décor was refined, exuding wealth and power. His eyes landed on a collection of framed photographs hanging on the wall.Most of them were of Celestine—striking, confident, and effortlessly beautiful in every shot. Some captured her at formal events, dressed in elegant gowns, while others were more casual, showcasing her poised yet commanding presence.Among them, a few stood out—photos of Celestine with her father, Marcellus Valencia. The two looked composed, their resemblance undeniable. Marcellus, with his authoritative aura, stood beside his daughter, who seemed every bit his equal in stature and presence.Elijah smirked slightly, leaning back on the couch, waiting for Cel

Elijah’s gaze flickered slightly as he spoke, “The donation? I’ll be in your office tomorrow so that we can speak about it. How about that?”“Alright, sir. I’ll expect you then,” Isla replied smoothly.With that, the call ended. Elijah lowered his phone, slipping it back into his pocket before walking back to Sierra.Elijah looked at her and asked, “So what’s the plan then?”“Should we swim?” Sierra suggested, tilting her head slightly.“Swim?” Elijah repeated before nodding. “That’s a good idea then.”“Also, tonight I’ll be going live from this side,” she added casually.Elijah nodded. “Without your equipment here, can you still?”She smiled. “Oh yeah, it’s just a normal live, not a singing live, so it’s fine. I can do it anywhere.”Elijah nodded again. “Alright then. Let me go get what I’ll use to swim.”She nodded as well and followed him inside to change.The car came to a halt in front of the police station, its doors swinging open as two officers stepped out. Damian was yanked o

Elijah raised a brow. Her house?“Your house? Tonight? What time?” he asked. He suddenly wished he had said he had plans—if he left, Sierra would be alone for the evening.“8 p.m. will be fine. Give me a call before then,” Celestine said.“Alright.” Elijah ended the call, slipping his phone back into his pocket. Then, he turned to Sierra.“I’m sorry, I might not be available for you tonight.”Sierra nodded and said, “I don’t have a problem. Are you going to meet someone?”Elijah nodded. “Yes, I didn’t expect a call, but…”“It’s fine.” Sierra smiled at him, her tone light. “I understand. Let’s just go and eat.”Elijah held her gaze for a moment before nodding. “Alright.”He then focused back on the road ahead as Sierra smoothly maneuvered the car toward a nearby restaurant. Elijah asked the drivers in the towing truck to join them as they ate together. Later they continued. Sophia reached home, her mind clouded with frustration and bitterness. As the cab pulled up to the gate, the se

"JUST DRIVE!" she snapped, her voice sharp and filled with frustration.The driver flinched, glancing at her through the mirror. "Uh, okay…" he muttered, clearly taken aback by her outburst.Meanwhile, in her luxurious office at Valencia Group, Celestine Valencia sat poised in front of her computer, immersed in drafting an important email.Her office was pristine, modern, and bathed in natural light from the towering windows behind her. Her dark brown hair was styled into a sleek, low ponytail, complementing the elegant yet powerful aura she exuded.Today, she wore a cream-colored silk blouse tucked into a fitted charcoal-gray pencil skirt that hugged her curves. A pair of diamond studs adorned her ears, subtle yet undeniably expensive.Even though she looked busy, there was one name ringing in her head. “Elijah.”The mere thought of his name sent an unexplainable tension through her body.And then, the memories came rushing back.His strong hands gripping her waist.The warmth of his

Outside, Elijah’s two newly purchased vehicles were already loaded onto a large towing truck, ready to follow them home. The sight of them neatly secured made Jacob even more pleased, knowing he had just closed a significant deal with a high-profile customer.Sierra twirled her Audi Q8 key in her fingers before unlocking the car and getting in. She adjusted her seat and buckled up while Elijah slid into the passenger seat, his usual composed demeanor in place.Just as Sierra placed her hands on the steering wheel, about to drive out, Elijah stopped her.“Wait,” he said, his voice smooth but firm. “Won’t you take some pictures?”Sierra blinked, caught off guard, before chuckling softly. “Oh… right! I should.” She stepped out of the car and pulled out her phone, taking a few pictures of herself standing beside her new Audi Q8. She made sure to capture different angles—some with the car door open, others with her hand on the wheel, and even a short video of the interior.Elijah leaned c

Elijah nodded. “If you love it, of course. Why not?” He then turned to Jacob. “How much is it?”Jacob smiled. “The 2024 Audi Q8 is priced at $78,000 for this fully loaded version. But since it’s you, young boss, I can offer a special deal—$75,000 with all the necessary paperwork handled immediately.”Sierra’s eyes widened slightly at the price, but she remained quiet, looking at Elijah to see his reaction.Elijah turned to Sierra. “Are you okay with the price?”Sierra looked at the car again, her fingers brushing over its sleek surface before nodding. “Yeah, I can afford it.”Jacob smiled. “Perfect!”As Sierra finalized her choice, Elijah continued strolling through the garage, his sharp eyes scanning the variety of luxury vehicles. He wasn’t in a rush, simply taking in the selection.Then, his gaze landed on a striking 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado—rugged yet refined, built for both city drives and tough terrains. The sleek midnight black exterior gleamed under the soft lighting of

Elijah watched as more people excitedly approached Sierra, some even trying to get closer for more pictures and videos. He could see that Sierra, though polite, was starting to look overwhelmed.Stepping forward, he raised his hand slightly, his expression firm but composed. "Alright, that's enough," he said in a calm yet authoritative tone. "She's here for business, not a fan meeting. Let her be."His presence alone was enough to make some people hesitate. A few lingered, reluctant to leave, but Elijah’s sharp gaze swept over them. "You’ve had your pictures, now move along," he added.Slowly, the crowd dispersed, some whispering among themselves about how protective Elijah seemed over Sierra. As the last few people walked away, Elijah turned to Sierra. "Don’t let it bother you. Just focus on what you came here for," he said, his voice gentler now.Sierra exhaled, giving him a small smile. "Thanks."Elijah simply nodded, keeping his attention ahead as they waited for Jacob.Meanwhile,

The director looked at Laura, her expression firm yet approving. "You'll resume the role of the assistant now, taking Sophia’s position. Train yourself well, and after a month, you’ll take the role as the head of the department."Laura's eyes widened in disbelief. "W-what?" she gasped, covering her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes.The entire office erupted in applause.Overwhelmed with emotion, Laura dropped to her knees in front of the director. "Thank you so much, ma’am! I won’t let you down!”The director gave a small nod before turning and walking back into her office, leaving the employees buzzing with excitement.Laura’s colleagues rushed to her, hugging and congratulating her."You did it, Laura! You exposed him and now look!""Head of department in a month? That’s insane!""You deserve it!"Laura couldn’t stop smiling, happiness radiating from her. At that moment, she felt an immense wave of gratitude—not just for the opportunity but for the one person who had encouraged
