Alec unknowingly had screamed out in bewilderment which attracted the attention of the doctor and nurses. They rushed inside and hurriedly checked his vitae but found nothing. Alec looked at them in fear. Does this mean that he was cured already? The system said something like that!“AI………okay?” He stuttered. “I'm sorry but it looked like we did not check you well and…” “How much is my bill?” He asked, obviously shocked. The medical practitioners had thought that it was because of his illness that made him go into a state of shock but they didn't understand that it was because of something more deeper. “Four thousand dollars” On a normal day, Alec would have been bothered, wondering where and how he would be able to pay for that amount of money because he never had it but now? The story had changed. “Where would I pay for it?” “Vera, please make sure he pays the bills at the counter” The doctor said and left while Vera looked at him in disgust. Vera was one of the underpaid
“How cheap! Tsk!” Alec said as he got into his car and drove out of the premises while the women looked at each other cheaply. If only Alec knew that they were willing to lay with him just to at least be in the car for a day. Meanwhile, Alec thought of what the women had said earlier. Does it mean that he wasn't fit enough to be owner of the car? Instantly, he thought of getting clothes but what if they decided to chase him out without finding out if he actually had money or not? He thought and ordered some nice clothes for himself. It didn't take up to two hours to get changed in a public toilet. Even though he didn't still seem like a really wealthy man, Alec still had some level of change within him. Just then, he noticed some commotion right beside him. Several reporters had gathered around a particular hotel while they talked about its failure. Alec shook his head at St Louis hotel right in front of him. This hotel, in fact, used to be one of the largest hotel in the cit
Meanwhile, at the other side of the hotel, Sophie was furious at Victor, her boyfriend. All she wanted was to be the owner of St Louis hotel and show that silly man that she was way better than him but now, someone already got the hotel.“Baby, I promise you that I will get more for you” Victor said, while trying to pacify her while she frowned. “More for me? What the hell are you talking about? This is what I want! You promised to get it for me and now, someone else already got it!”“The money I was expecting was…”“Forget it! Not like I am important to you anyway. I am your side chick after all!” She said in anger. Victor scuffed. Didn't she know this before she threw herself cheaply at him? He thought again..“But I am doing everything possible to make sure that you be in the spotlight as my wife. And I will always get more for you” He said and carcassed her hands softly. “I wanted to show that loser that I am doing far better than the 1 dollars he gives me every week” Sophie s
However, before Victor could control Sophie, she had walked up to him in anger. “What are you doing here?” She asked. “The same reason you are also here”“If you are here to beg me, I wouldn't take you back. I am happy in my new relationship!” Sophie said firmly. Alec laughed shortly at first and burst out laughing. Everyone thought he was really crazy. Crazy enough to think that what she said was funny. “Alec hasn't really changed a bit. He still follows Sophie like a puppy”“I can't believe that he would attend this party to ruin our mood.”“All the men here contributed money to make sure that our Queens deserves the treat here but Alec, being the loser that he is only shows up to eat. It only shows that he is nothing but a loser still”“Who gave him the card? I thought I was told that he wouldn't be able to enter because he couldn't afford ordinary transport to the venue of getting the cards?” The more Alec heard the statement, the more he laughed. He wasn't angry but he was
Alec could hear the commotion as soon as he stepped out of the elevator including Harrison but it felt strange and that was because it was not only the fact that the commotion was one thing to settle but because the voice was utterly familiar. Alec just couldn't pinpoint where exactly he heard the voice. “This way, sir” Harrison said immediately they got to the entrance of room 106 only to come in contact with Sheila and one of his staff being bullied. “Where is the owner of this hotel? I will lock it down!” Sheila threatened. But within her, she knew that she couldn't do anything. She was just an HR and besides, her company was nothing compared to Alec's five star hotel. “What's going on?” Alec asked, not caring to show if he knew Sheila in the past or not. “What are you doing here? I thought you were fired? Hold on, why are you all so bent on ruining my day? Do you think I would give you a chance to explain yourself?” Sheila asked in anger and scanned through him. He was not
“Hello” Alec excused himself towards a distance while notifying Harrison he would be back. “Alec, by this time tomorrow, I want your stuff packed away from my room. I do not want you anymore. You are a disgrace to manhood!” The old landlord said. “I also want to leave. I knew I should have called you earlier but…”“You must be crazy! You think I would let you leave without you paying everything?” He said in anger. “I will settle you later. I promise”“Later? When will it be? Next year? Just pack your load, give me my money and get out!” He said in anger and hung up. Alec smiled. In the past, he would have rushed home, wailing on his knees, telling him to give him more time and he would pay and then, he would think of explaining to Sophie that she would not get an allowance that week because his rent had to be paid but then, he would decide against it because he did not want to lose her. Surely, they would settle this later. For someone like him, that kind of place did not be
“Sir, I would not want to make you indebted because of me” Debby said. In fact, she heard that he had paid for the hotel fees in full which only meant one thing, he was probably poor right now. What if he was not even the owner of the hotel and had paid for someone in his stead?“I never said so. In fact, I am happy to do this” Alec said and smiled. After all, he wanted to be done with his task and start the next task even if it meant paying more than what her bill stated. Suddenly, he looked ahead only to see Sophie and her friend. That crazy woman. What the hell was she doing here again after everything she had caused him? Alec thought. He could fill anger rush towards him as he watched her sit on his car. She had probably found out how wealthy he was. Now, he was more than convinced that women would flock wealthy men's side all because of money! “That's your car. I think your girlfriend is waiting for you and so, I will just go back and. ..”“Debby, there's nothing to be scar
Alec did not know what to say. That would be the first time that he would receive such an offer. “A meal? Alright, I'm in for it. So, where is the venue?” Alec asked her. “About that, sir. I do not have the money to treat you to a fancy restaurant”“I will gladly go with you to any restaurant” Alec said. “How about….” Debby stopped abruptly on seeing someone coming. Then, she suddenly had a look of fright laced on her face. “Are you okay?”“Save me, please” Alec said. He turned around to see three group of men with a pictures in their hands. They looked like they came to find someone but ordinary. Alec knew this because he had once been given the opportunity to know this when he had issues with his few classmates back then in college. He held her hands instead and rushed towards a small closure. The moment they saw the both of them, they rushed towards them but lost track of them.“Who are they?”“My boyfriend's guards. He's a crazy man that is so obsessed with me and…”“We sho
