Nathan smirked and looked at the small gift bag, mocking Benjamin. "Hannah, I thought he said he was an important person to Cordelia. Look at the size of the gift. Must be something really special in there," he said sarcastically.Benjamin didn't bother avoiding his words and then took the mini cute box inside the gift bag and placed it on the table. Hannah and the other ladies exchanged glances, wondering what could be in the box. Nathan continued, "Benjamin, don't tell me you brought a keychain or a piece of candy. I mean, it's the thought that counts, right?" He chuckled, trying to belittle Benjamin's gift.Benjamin grinned and assured, "Relax, unlike your fake painting, this is genuine." Nathan's smile vanished at Benjamin's remark, bringing a sense of satisfaction to Benjamin. He proceeded to open the box, unveiling the stunning Rolex Datejust—a truly exquisite piece that captured everyone's admiration.Oh heavens!"Hannah and the ladies gasped as the elegant Rolex Datejust re
A gasp echoed through the room, breaking the silence. The revelation left everyone stunned, especially Benjamin, who now faced an unexpected turn of events.“How? How fake? It's not.” Benjamin said stunned. Nathan couldn't contain his laughter, and it erupted in the room like an unwelcome storm. His smugness reached new heights as he looked at Benjamin with a mocking gaze."Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Nathan said, his laughter filled with derision. "Benjamin, it seems your grand gift isn't as grand as you thought. A fake watch to match your fake accusations, perhaps?”The room felt heavy with tension, and the ladies exchanged uncomfortable glances. Cordelia's expression shifted from doubt to surprise, her eyes narrowing at Benjamin. The unexpected twist had turned the tables, leaving Benjamin in an awkward position.Nathan continued his mockery, relishing the moment. "Couldn't even afford a genuine Rolex, huh? Your attempt to expose me backfired spectacularly.”Benjamin
Mom." Benjamin called out happily and then spoke to her. After the call, he happily looked at them and said, "Hannah, try the Rolex Datejust again. This time, not in the normal code checker. This one wasn't bought. It was specially made for my mom as a VIP member."Gasp! They all turned to look at Benjamin; it was like he was bragging. How could the company make a watch, and even his mom is a VIP member? It felt like a lie.Nathan sneered and said, "Oh wow, a specially made watch for your VIP mom? Are you trying to impress us with a made-up story? Nice try, Benjamin, but we're not buying it."Cordelia raised an eyebrow, looking at Benjamin with a hint of doubt. She whispered, "Specially made for a VIP member? Benjamin, are you making up stories to save face?”Hannah, although initially skeptical, asked, "Where do I enter the code?"Benjamin responded confidently, "There's a special code authenticator; enter the numbers there."As everyone eagerly awaited, Hannah entered the code. The
Nathan, feeling victorious, thanked Cordelia with a smile, "Thank you, Cordelia. I appreciate it. I'll message you to finalize the details. Looking forward to our dinner.”Cordelia shook her head, "Don't worry about him; let's not talk about him."Benjamin nodded, respecting her wish not to delve into the topic.Cordelia's attention shifted to the gift box, and she inquired, "Are you delivering this gift to someone tonight? I can drive you there."Benjamin smiled lightly, "Actually, I don't even know what's inside. It was given to me by my mom.”"You don't know what's inside? Then how are you delivering it to someone?"Benjamin didn't say a word and proceeded to unwrap the gift. As the wrapping came off, he opened the box, revealing its contents.Inside the box was a stunning silver necklace adorned with a delicate pendant, catching the light in an intricate pattern that left Cordelia and Benjamin momentarily captivated.Cordelia had noticed the necklace instantly, mentioning its name
Benjamin nodded and said, "Yes, I will be able to make it."Cordelia nodded and added, "I hope you can have a good sleep. You shouldn't be late to class tomorrow; I have a class with you guys.”"What are we going to learn?" he asked."Isn't it a fraud to tell you that already?" she said.Benjamin laughed and said, "Okay, okay, no need to tell me. But will you punish me if I'm late?"Cordelia looked at him and asked, "Any doubt? Even if you are a minute late, I might punish you, and I mean it.""Okay, Ms. I'll try my best to be on campus on time to avoid getting punished by you.”"That would be good," Cordelia said and then continued driving.Looking at the time, it was late. Benjamin didn't want to go home; after all, it was very far, so he decided to get a hotel and then sleep."Uhm, we are close to the Imperial Luminary Hotel; stop when we get there," he said."Why are you getting down near the hotel? Won't you head home?" Cordelia asked.Benjamin shook his head and said, "It's very
Benjamin chuckled and said, “fine I'll leave obeying the rules but kneel and ask for forgiveness else..”The security chuckled and said, "What will you do to me? Beat me or get me fired?"Benjamin nodded and replied, "Yes, you'll be fired. Although you're doing your job, you're very rude."The security laughed mockingly, "Although you look handsome, you're very poor too. Look at your dressing, yuck! I want to puke. Do you want me to drag you outside or hit you with my stick? Which one?”You still have the last chance to kneel, and I'll let you go; otherwise, as I said, you're losing this job. Benjamin emphasized once again.The security guard laughed and retorted, "If I don't lose this job, remember I'll deal with you."Benjamin nodded and calmly stated, "Since you want to prove to be tough, I'll show you where the power lies." Without further ado, he sent a text message to Ezra, including the security guard's name which was on his uniform. The security guard, thinking Benjamin was b
“Sir, please, I'm begging you. I'll do whatever it takes to make things right. I'll apologize a thousand times if I have to. This job means everything to me. I'll change, I promise. Just give me one more chance,"Benjamin, however, was resolute. "Opportunity comes but once. You had yours, and you wasted it. Now, leave before I take further action."The security guard, looking defeated and saddened, nodded. "I understand. I'm truly sorry for everything," he said, apologizing once again. He then walked away, shoulders slouched, realizing the gravity of his mistakes. Benjamin, without a second glance, opened the glass door and walked inside the hotel.As Benjamin stepped through the revolving glass doors of the opulent seven-star hotel, he was immediately enveloped by a world of unparalleled luxury and grandeur. The vast lobby, adorned with gleaming marble floors and exquisite floral arrangements, stretched before him like a palatial scene from a dream. The air was delicately perfumed w
The beautiful lady frowned, hearing Benjamin yell, and said, "Hello, this is a hotel, not your home. Please don't yell."Benjamin didn't want to speak to her, so he ignored her and looked at the lady at the front desk, waiting for an answer.The lady at the desk sighed and said, "It's not about you being here first, sir. It's about having the ability to pay for the price, please.""What do you mean? Did I tell you I can't pay?" he asked.The lady frowned and said, "I said to acquire a black membership VIP card costs $50,000, not $50 or $500, please."Her words angered Benjamin; he felt like he was being looked down on."Who said I was thinking of $50 or $500? I'm ready to pay $50,000. It's late; please be fast and let me have a good rest. I'm really tired," he said.The lady was stunned; Benjamin seemed to be putting on quite a show. Unable to change his clothes, he claimed he could pay $50,000. She chose to disregard Benjamin and turned to the other lady, saying, "Let's proceed, plea
