“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
Meanwhile, the staff led Benjamin into the executive room. The room was very big and beautiful with modern furnishings and a tasteful color scheme of muted tones.The centerpiece was a king-sized bed adorned with luxurious linens and plump pillows. Adjacent to the bedroom was a spacious living area. A plush sofa and elegant chairs surrounded a coffee table, creating a perfect spot for relaxation. A state-of-the-art flat-screen TV was mounted on the wall. The en-suite bathroom boasted marble accents, a deep soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Premium toiletries and fluffy towels added to the indulgent experience.A stylish mini-bar featured an assortment of beverages and snacks, complemented by a chic dining area with seating for two.Smart controls allowed guests to adjust lighting, temperature, and even request room service with the touch of a button. The room was equipped with cutting-edge technology to enhance the overall guest experience.Benjamin was satisfied; his $50,00
Immediately Benjamin stepped out, closing his door, he saw someone from the next room also emerging—it was the other lady who was ready to pay the $50,000. He was a bit shocked because he didn't expect her to get the executive room too, since he already secured the last one.She looked beautiful, and still in her night costume, she was heading back into her room. She greeted Benjamin with a simple "hi," but he didn't reply, turning around and walking away.Feeling a bit late, Benjamin quickened his pace to lessen the punishment he might receive from Cordelia. As he reached the main area where the office desk was, his eyes met someone entering – Maverick Stone.Seeing Maverick made Benjamin frown slightly. Maverick, too, wore a puzzled expression, wondering why someone like Benjamin was at their hotel.Angrily, Maverick approached Benjamin and demanded, "What do you want here?”"Oh God, I'm late, and now there's another problem?" Benjamin muttered. He tried to walk past Maverick, but h
Getting back into the class, Benjamin looked visibly exhausted, his breaths still irregular. Approaching Cordelia, he said, "Ms., I'm done."Cordelia stared at him for a moment before reaching into her bag. As she did, Benjamin noticed the necklace he gave her the previous night around her neck, bringing a subtle joy to his tired expression.Opening the bag, Cordelia pulled out a bottle of flavored water and took a sip before offering it to Benjamin and said, “Drink this to calm down.” Benjamin nodded and took the bottle and, without wasting time, drank from it directly. Cordelia's surprise was evident as he touched his lips to the bottle, creating an indirect kiss.As Cordelia handed Benjamin the bottle of water, a wave of shock rippled through the students. The guys, in particular, couldn't contain their jealousy, and hushed whispers filled the air."Seriously? Why is she giving him special treatment?""He's just a show-off. Does she have to give him water like that?""Look at him
The shock rippled through the class as Cordelia announced her generous contribution of $1500. Whispers filled the room, and eyes widened in surprise. It was unexpected, and the students couldn't believe their teacher was making such a substantial donation. Some exchanged glances, trying to comprehend the amount, while others expressed their awe in hushed tones. "Did she just say $1500?”"Is this some kind of joke?""Wow, she's really rich.""I didn't see that coming, honestly.""Imagine what we could do with that money.""Maybe she's secretly a millionaire.""Doesn't she have bills to pay like the rest of us?""That's more than I make in a month.""I guess we're lucky to have her as a teacher.”Benjamin was the only guy who didn't react when hearing the amount. Noticing Benjamin's calm expression. If it was the old Benjamin, he would have reacted shocked but now he was someone new, someone controlling billions so $1500 was just like a paper to him. Some people in the class noticed B
"Did he win the lottery overnight?""He's probably using someone else's money.""I bet it's fake, just trying to impress.""How can he afford that, it's impossible!""Maybe he stole it.”The murmurs were filled with doubt and suspicion. Cordelia repeated herself, "Didn't you guys hear what I said?" The whole class snapped back to reality and started clapping. However, questions and skeptical remarks started circulating.One student dared to ask Benjamin, "Benjamin, where did you get $3000?" To which Benjamin replied straightforwardly, "None of your business.”Irene chimed in, "Well, he's using someone's phone and sent it from there, so it's probably not his money. No need to be shocked." The doubtful murmurs continued.Another voice joined in, "Does this guy even know what it means to spend $3000 of someone else's money?""He just wanted attention; he has it now.""Haha, this guy might get in trouble today for $3000.""He's just trying to impress the whole class; leave him.”Cordeli
Daughter in law? Benjamin shook his head and said, "Mom, it's not Cordelia. Also, stop addressing her as your daughter-in-law; she's my madam, and she might be a few years older than me. Nothing like that can happen between her and me, please stop getting that into your head.”Evelyn furrowed her eyebrows and said, "Who cares if she's older than you? I just want that Cordelia of a lady as my daughter-in-law, and you must do that. Tell me, isn't she beautiful?"Benjamin sighed lightly and said, "She's beautiful, I won't deny that.""Good, then that's it. I guess she must have a kind attitude too. Whether she's rich or not doesn't matter; you must win her heart, son. Did you gift her the necklace?”Benjamin nodded and said, "Yes, I did."Evelyn nodded and said, "Good, I specially gave you that to give to her. Did she like it?"Benjamin nodded and said, "Of course, she did. Today, she wore it to campus."Evelyn clapped lightly and said, "That's all. Fate will seal you both together. Did
