2024-10-29 19:42:56The cashier was shocked. The manager was a highly respected person, and whosever he is bowing down to, must be someone of high caliber. The people who were present too, in the bank had astonished looks on their faces. He was just a delivery guy to them.
Only the Creator knew where the cashier got the courage to question the manager. "Excuse me, sir. Why show so much respect to a delivery guy?"
She received no answer from him, so she asked again.
Rather than get a response, a slap landed on her cheek. The manager had slapped her. "Do you know who this man is?"
She shook her head, telling him expressionally, that she did not know him.
He showed her his Bank ID card. She took the card from him, and gasped in realization. The ID was specifically for Senior VIP clients, who had 50 million dollars in the account. She had first thought he stole it, until she saw his picture on it. As much as she did not want to believe that a delivery guy and the owner of the ID card were one, and the same person, she had no other option, as the proof she could ask for was clearly on it.
She was perplexed as to why such a wealthy person like him will dress up as a delivery guy.
She began to panic, because she knew that she could be fired due to her actions.
"Is this how you operate? This is not right. I am not here for dramas, I will transfer all my money to another bank. Your workers are rude, and lack maaners," he said, keeping an expressionless face.
The manager knelt down, and begged him. The Fernando's had invested in their Bank for years, and they could be fired, if the Board of Directors found out about it. He needed to beg him, and try to convince him to change his mind about transferring to another bank.
"I apologise on her behalf, sir. Please, do not be offended. I am really sorry," he said.
It did not seem convincing enough, so he sort for ways to coax him.
"Please, do not withdraw from the bank, I will do anything, even if it means to fire the cashier." He added.
Immediately she heard the manager's statement the lady fell on her knees, and pleaded. She could not lose her job, as it was what she used to feed her family.
Jayden was tired of the whole drama. He had no time for them. He threw his debit card to her, and asked for a withdrawal of 200,000 dollars.
"I have no time for this drama. I need 200,000 dollars now."
"Did you not hear him? Get it done, now!" He yelled.
"Thank you so much, sir. Thank you, I really appreciate it." The manager said. He was happy that he had forgiven them, and he was able to change his mind. He could not imagine losing their biggest investor.
The cashier quickly picked up the card, and withdrew 200,000 dollars. She needed to act immediately. She tried as much as possible not to piss him off again, not after knowing who he was.
"Here you go, sir. I'm so sorry."
The people, including the security was amazed at how a rich man could disguise as a delivery guy.
He took the money, and left, after giving the cashier and the manager one last look. It was getting late, he needed to get some new clothes, before calling it a day.
He did not care about what they were going to say. He put his money inside the delivery box, and drove away.
Of course, they were going to talk. Immediately he stepped out of the bank, the manager heaved a sigh, and faced the cashier, who had looked away to avoid his gaze.
"You are lucky. Next time this happens, I will not hesitate to fire you."
"I'm sorry, sir. It won't happen again," she said.
"It better not happen again. Get back to work!" He left to his office, muttering a few words no one, except him could hear.
"Who would have thought that a guy like him was actually rich?" One of the men said.
"I know right. I wonder if that is the new trend."
"Why the disguise? Couldn't he just be real?" Another one sneered.
Soon, the murmurings waned, and they went about their businesses—transactions, help centre… till it seemed like nothing had happened.
Back in Fernando's Intl., the butler had heard from one of the guards what had transpired downstairs, and had invited the manager.
"Ms. Fiona, the boss wants to meet you." One of the men said.
Mr. Thomas was the Interim CEO, when Jayden had refused to take over. He was appointed by Mr. Fernando, Jayden's father, as Mr. Fernando's brother could not take the position, due to the tasks he had to complete.
While at it, he had tried to convince, and make Jayden see the reasons he should become CEO.
Without Jayden's knowledge, his uncle had been spying on Stephanie. He had known for a while that she was cheating on him, and never truly loved him. He did not want to tell Jayden, because he would have thought it was another plan to change his mind. He wanted him to see it for himself.
On the day Jayden had planned to propose to her, he had known Stephanie was there too, so he waited for Jayden in the Beach House, and as expected, he came.
He had everything ready for him.
He had gotten a call from his brother, Mr. Fernando. "Is everything ready?"
"All set."
"Thank you, Peter."
Mr. Thomas had been working for the Fernando's family for years, that was why he was made the Interim CEO.
"Hello, sir. You sent for me," the manager politely said.
"You know why I called you here."
"I'm really sorry, sir. I have already fired the receptionist as the CEO requested. I will get a replacement, soon."
"Good. You may leave." He said.
"Thank you, sir."
Jayden was on his way to the largest shopping mall, when he got into an accident, luckily, he was not injured.
A car had hit his scooter, making him lose control, and falling down to the floor.
He got up, and picked his scooter.
He checked himself to make sure he was not injured. He lifted up his head to see the person that knocked him down.
He saw a man come out of a luxurious car.
"Not again!"

The officer bowed his head, and apologized. "I'm sorry, sir."The thought of getting involved with The Jackson's was something he did not want to experience. He had heard of people's experience with The Jackson's, and he certainly did not want to have an experience. He turned to Jayden, and frowned."Young Man, you must pay for the damages you caused." He said."What damages? You have not confirmed if there is any damage, before asking me to pay. He was the one who hit, and knocked me down. Why should I pay for anything? By law, he is supposed to compensate me, for damaging my scooter.""You better obey, or I might arrest you.""You think I am scared of you? Are you sure you do not want to confirm the damages?" Jayden smirked."No, I won't. Are you going to pay back, or not?" The officer said. He was baffled by his boldness. Was he not afraid of him, or even the rich guy in front of him?"Are you this stubborn? I think I remember you. You were the guy from the party, who did not have

He rode his scooter to the mall. He sighed, wondering if there would be, yet, another drama. The mall was the biggest mall in Texas, and only the upper class had went there.

They waited patiently for his answer. Mr. Thomas was confused, he did not understand why he had the smirk on his face. He had thought Jayden would return to his father, after visiting the mall, but his reply made him feel disappointed. "Take me to the beach house." Mr. Thomas faced him, ready to convince him; but he raised his hand up, indicating that he was not ready for the conversation. The butler could only sigh. "How could he embarrass me that way? In front of all those poor puppets!" Jane yelled, immediately she entered the car. Her friend ran to her, to calm her down. "I will make him pay!" "Calm down. I told you not to talk to him, but you still insisted." Jane glared at her, and she kept quiet. "What are you waiting for? Drive me home!" Back inside the mall, the ladies were still shocked by the scenario that just occured right in front of them. "What did you do to the man that made him give you such an amount of money?"

Fiona knew it would be hard for Carina to believe her. She moved closer to her, and showed her a mark."I know you won't believe me, but here," she bent her head, "the mark you left me, after hitting my forehead with a stone."Carina shook her head, not wanting to believe her. "It cannot be.""It is true, Marina."That name sent shivers down her spine. It was the combination of Margaret, and Carina. It was given to them in school, after they paired to write a project."It's really you!" She could not hold it anymore, she ran into her embrace. They stayed in each other's arms for what seemed to be till eternity."I was saved by Mr. Fernando, the owner of Fernando's Intl.

Carina had been with her mother for years, but she had never seen her drinking alcohol."Mother."The woman turned, and stared at them with wide eyes. She did not expect to see Carina, neither did she think she would drink much. From a sip to a few glasses."Ca… Carina, you are home! Is it already closing hours?" She said, hiding the bottle behind her back."It is almost 10pm, mother!" She walked in, looking around the house, as if there was someone else in, "is this what you do when I'm away? Everyday, I work my ass out, just to provide the bills for you to get well. When did you even start drinking?" Carina half yelled. "I… I am sorry, my child. It was never intent

"You know, I'm supposed to be the heir to all your properties. After all, I am the eldest."He walked around in circles, making weird sounds. His hair was looking unkempt, giving him the exact look of a mentally unstable person."Jayden is my legal son, and by right, he owns my properties. I already gave you what you asked for, whatever Jayden has belongs to him," Fernando asserted, his voice falling flat, his aura, intimidating."I worked with you in that company, so that I can take over and manage the company once you retire. This brat did nothing other than go on an unsuccessful adventure of finding true love. After his failed attempt, you handed over the company to him. Just like that!"

Rage burned down Jayden's heart, as he saw the ripped part of the dress, which revealed her thighs."You will do no such thing!"

All that was on his mind now was to save Carina from his hands.There was only concern on his face, he could not imagine what she went through as a rape victim.

There was a flash of surprise on his face. How could he be his brother? Someone who once worked for him? Someone who cheated the company?It was ridiculous, and if he were ever in any position to make a guess, he would never mention Nathan's name.How could a psycho be his brother? That was absurd! Jayden looked at his father, pain and hatred were visible in his eyes."That explains it, then. You should have thrown me out into the streets, and taken in Nathan, rather than treat me like I was the cause of your own problems! I can't even stand you, you don't deserve to be my father," Jayden thundered, his voice deepening in anger."Jayden, I—""You, Carina…all of you! There is nothing that differentiates you all.

He stepped down, slowly walking towards Carina.Each step he took closer to her made her feel like she was meeting her doom. She glanced at the envelope in his hand, it looked like the same envelope she saw yesterday when she met Nathan."Jay, please, I can explain," she muttered, trying hard to calm him down, but the rage in his eyes didn't seem to become tender.Rather, it seemed like her plea made him more furious. Just a couple of steps away from her, he stopped. His eyes never left her, as though she was going to disappear if he even blinked an eye."You suddenly want to explain now, hm?" He started, "Explain what, exactly? That you are not a virgin? That you lied to me? Or, that you had an ugly past which you hid from me in the guise of being a good woman!" He hu

Stephanie had planned to step out when she saw Alex and Sonia hiding behind the door. She let go of a mischievous smile and went back in. She phoned Nathan and reported her findings to him.

Sonia had gotten a call from Alex last night, inquiring about their discussion. She hated to lie to Alex, and she knew that she sucked a lot at lying.Since it was over a phone call, she was able to lie to him, because she didn't have to look at his face.He didn't believe her, so he said he would meet her at CR Restaurant, so they could talk. It didn't make sense to him that what he heard that night kept leading him on to what Jayden told him.Sonia took out her phone and called Alex. She was panicking, seeing that Carina was a few miles away from her, talking to a stranger."Hello, where are you?" She said, immediately he answered the phone."I'm at the parking—""Don't park the car, drive out now. I'll meet you in front of the restaurant," she replied sharply, rushing out of the restaurant to wait for Alex.She kept her eyes on Carina, and she was about to enter the vehicle, following the stranger.Alex stopped right in front of Sonia, who jumped in immediately, without a care to

Carina stared at Alex with widened eyes. This was what she was afraid of. Definitely, Alex would tell Jayden about it, and that meant everything was over.Alex walked closer to them, sitting down on the seat he sat on before he left."Oh! We..uh, we have something we wanted to do; more like content, so I was trying to tell her what to say," Sonia chipped in, covering up the whole thing.Alex knew when Sonia was lying and when she was not. He could tell it by looking into her eyes. There was just something about her statement that he could not believe. Even if he wanted to, it didn't just seem real.First, Carina was not a social media person, and creating content about a rape case was too sensitive. "Yes, yes. She is right, I was…I couldn't recall my part, so I was asking her to help me out," Carina supported, hoping that Alex would believe their lie.He didn't say anything.
