“We can shop somewhere else,” Debby said softly. Not until I teach these people a lesson. Alec thought. “It's fine. We can go there as soon as I am done with then” He whispered. By this time, the manager was completely helpless. It seemed like Alec had already overpowered him. “So, would you rather try to fire him or fire yourself at this stage?” This was too impossible to be true. The manager was sure that once the owner of the store came around, she would definitely be of help to him!“Sir, you can't just fire me. We… we understand that we have offended you but then, with due respect, you are not the owner of this store and…”“But I can buy the store and fire you since you think you are mightier than me” Alec said. Everyone gasped. Debby looked at Alec in shock. What did he mean by that? Was he willing to prove to these fools that he was more than them even when it was obvious? What about management? It wasn't easy finding someone like Harrison! Debby thought in fear. “
“What? Sir” Hills said. He didn't expect that his boss would be willing to sell off his store at that moment. That would be a very good opportunity for Alec to fire him if he jumps on the offer and he was not ready for that. “Put the store on sale. Everyone can continue working based on profit”“I will buy it” Alec said and smiled. “You are willing to buy it?” The man asked, wanting to be sure. The store was a very big place and it was not very easy to manage and so, what was this man talking about?“Of course. What's your price range?”“Twenty five million dollars” The owner of the store said. The woman also looked at the store and determined that she was going to get the store at this moment. A lot of people had lost the hotel to this man and so, they were not sure if they were willing to let that happen again. “I am also interested in buying the store. In fact, I will pay you more than you want” The woman said and looked at Alec. Debby knew that she was one of the women who w
Everyone turned around to see a beautiful looking woman walked all the way from a distance. It didn't take up to five minutes before she got to where they all stood. Alec's eyes dimmed when he realized that it was Sophia. Looking at her closely, he could see how dolled up she was. What was her motive? Alec thought. “Hi, Mr JJ. Do you remember my face?” Sophia asked and smiled shortly. Of course the owner recognized her. Sophia turned out to be his brother's lover and so, they had a deal. The deal was to get intimate with her since all he wanted was her and in return, she would get the store. But now, he was trying to boycott her. Who does that? She thought and looked beside her only to see Alec. Perfect timing! If she could not also have the hotel she badly wanted to have, no problem. She could also have what he desired. Did she know that Alec would be there? No! “What are you doing here?” The owner of the store asked in anger. In fact, the most important reason was not be
“What are you doing?” Alec asked, feigning ignorance. Of course, he already knew what the manager was up to. Instantly, the man smiled and looked at Alec nervously. “Mr Alec, I did not know that you followed me up to this place actually. I was trying to be fast about the whole thing because I did not want to delay you and …”“Who prepares the resignation letter?” Alec asked instead. “It's me, sir” he said and smiled as he hurriedly switched off the computer. “But what if you are not there? Who does it instead?” Alec asked again. “My assistant manager. Louis” he replied. “Is he around?” “Yes, boss”“Take me to him and inform everyone that I want to have a brief meeting with you all.” The manager, thinking that he had already probably changed his mind about him, hurriedly rushed out of the office and gathered up all of the staff. "Our new owner is around. You all should behave yourselves because it seems like he is more strict than our previous boss" The manager had told the w
“Of course I do, sir” Debby said and smiled while she secretly looked at the other Debby with contempt. She has come to stay and not this bitch!“Well, step back because she is the new manager” Alec said. Everyone looked at Debby, seeing nothing but threat. It seemed like they were really going to have tough time. Debby, Alec's worker who did not know that the day that she would be promoted from being an ordinary hotel worker to a manager walked forward and smiled.“Good day, everyone. I'm pleased to meet with you all and also, I will be willing to work with you all. Hope we can be the best among other stores!” She said and smiled but everyone scuffed. Alec cared less about their opinion. After all, it wasn't their money he used to purchase the store. “When you see Debby, you see me and so, anything you want to talk to me about, please talk to her.” He said and turned to Debby. “It's evening already, please have all of the files of this store transferred to me virtually by to
“Mr Alec, reporters are outside waiting for an interview. The policemen are around asking for you. Don't you think this is getting out of hand?” Harrison asked in fear. At the moment, customers seemed to have drastically reduced because of the fear of being around a killer. It affected the workers who seemed to have a bit of fear within them but they still put on a fake smile. “Have you found out who started the rumors?” Alec asked even though it seemed like everything would favour him. Now, he would be popular because after everything, people would see him as a wealthy magnate!“One woman who preferred to be anonymous but I finally found out her name” Harrison replied. Of all things, he was sure that his boss was not a killer. He saw through people. *Which is?”*Just Sophia but I couldn't find out her surname. Apparently, the former owner of the store is missing and ..”Sophia? She wouldn't stop being crazy? What was so special in moving on? Wasn't she the one who rejected him?
Alec instead switched on his phone to check out what was going on in the store. He had made sure to have this connected the previous day after everyone at work at left. He got to see what Debby that Debby was actually busy filling out some documents while she was working on her phone. Suddenly, the door of her office was knocked on twice. Debby looked up and released a sigh as she checked the time. She did not realize that the time was far spent. All because the old manager has done a lot of atrocities just to embezzle money, it became a toll for her. In fact, it was a double work for her. “Please come in” She said, exhausted. “Miss Debby, how are you feeling?” Two mischievous workers asked at the same time. She looked at them suspiciously. “What do you want?” She asked. “Relax! We haven't come here to fight you. You see, before you came, we all have ways of doing this here. In fact, some things were boycott just for us.”“Okay, so, why are you telling me this?” Debby asked.
"Oh me? I just got a nice job here while my girlfriend is flirting out with a big boss just because she wants to attain the position she so much desired!” Her boyfriend said. “I am not a girlfriend of a crazy man. You think I would dense enough to still be with a man like you?" Debby asked and scuffed. Definitely over her dead body!“Watch your tone, young lady. I may be forced to do what I want to do right here with you since your little husband isn't around to save you!” He said. Her heart thumped hard in fear. She knew that she was definitely in trouble and seemingly true, Alec wasn't around. “How did you know that I work here?” She managed to ask. “A lot of diggings about you proved that you would be here. Now, listen to me. If you love your life so much, desist from that crazy man or else, I will kill you!” He threatened. Debby looked at him for a while. She was scared but then, mustered the courage to lock eyes with him. “What are you?”“The man who can kill you! You be
“Babe, you can't go. I promise you that I will take care of everything outside.” Debby insisted just as Alec had dressed in an Italian tuxedo suit and had his hair styled perfectly. “I feel like if I do not not go, it will only make me a coward and I do not want that to happen and so, I have decided that I will go’ Alec replied instead. Even though he had today planned out also, the schedule the system had given him to resolve everything that happened was just a day and he could not just throw that into the mud. “At least, hold on for Harrison to call. He's your worker and he will definitely help you resolve everything” Debby said and in the end, he agreed to stay at home. Meanwhile, Debby's phone had been ringing continuously and just as when she had seen it, she was surprised to have missed a call from her grandfather and an unknown contact. “Grandfather called me. I think it has to do with this issue but I promise you that you have nothing to be worried about because I will ma
"Boss, I will come over tomorrow. I need to call some of the stubborn publishing companies” Harrison said. However, Alec scoffed lightly. He knew that this was the time that some of the publishing team would extort him. “If anyone does not want a sum of a thousand dollars to bring down whatever post about me, I suggest that you just let them do whatever they want!” Alec said firmly. “Did you say you will go face the media team?” Debby asked while he nodded and stared into space. He did not expect that the issue he never wanted to involve the cops had escalated and now, everyone thought he's a killer. Yet, he had just a week to make sure that everything was back to normal. “Of course. I should at least tell them something. If I do not say anything, it will only make me nothing but a Killer and I do not….”Debby shook her head. “You shouldn't go! If you do, it will only worsen things. You could get killed. I promise you that whatever you need, I will let you know. How about I run
I'm worried that my business may be put to stop especially now that I am trying to collaborate with some business partners to build schools as expansion of my business” Alec said almost immediately. “I don't understand why all of these are happening. Have you been doing something behind me and…”“Debby, do you trust me?” Alec asked, a bit disappointed at her. She looked at him for a while and exhaled out. Of course she trusted him but it felt like she did not know him anymore. It didn't make sense that a news would just pop up about him and he wouldn't know the source of what happened and yet, it seemed like he was not saying anything about it. “I trust you but I don't know what to believe about this matter” Debby stated while he looked at her. “Few days ago, some set of people were caught on camera and had stolen the important files of some business associates. How could I let it slide? It turned out that they were working for one Eric and I don't understand”At the mention of th
“You've been smiling all day. Is there something you didn't tell me?” Alec asked as he hugged Debby by her wrist while they watched a TV show.“I met someone that's as sweet as you are and when I seemed to be in trouble earlier, he helped me out” She said and smiled as she remembered the scene. Alec chuckled. “He swept you off your feet also? You know I did that also”Debby laughed shortly. However that was not what she meant. She had met Greg earlier at the grocery store earlier after she had an issue with a payment. However, they had talked about her best interest while they laughed it off over the coffee after shopping and now, he wanted to offer her a job.“Just like that?” Alec asked while she nodded and smiled. Somehow, that did not sit right with him but he knew he could not piss her off since she was in her best mood. “Would you rather work with me instead? I can easily promote you as the director and…”“Alec, you have your business at hand while I also have mine. I just w
“Fortunately for us, grandfather is getting better and I was told that he would be on his feet soon. That only means one thing, the party may hold!” Debby said in excitement the moment she entered Alec's mansion. Alec however did not have his mind settled on what she said but her beauty. Every day, it seemed like she was getting more beautiful!“You're cute, do you know that?” He suddenly asked as he swooped her in his arms and gave her a peck while she blushed. However, Alec's phone beeped slightly. Ignoring it and wanting to spend more time with the woman he loved the most, he pecked her again. “I love you so much, Debby. Promise me that you will never leave me even if you find out something terrible about me* Alec said. Debby smiled and looked at him. “Why on earth will I want to leave you? You mean so much to me and I am definitely not leaving you!” She told him. At this moment, his phone would not stop ringing continuously.“Check out your phone”“I just want to spend time
“It's really nice to meet with you, Mr Greg” Alec said and smiled as he shook hands with Greg who would not stop talking randomly. “Ah, yeah. I have always been anticipating meeting you and that was why I decided to make it a surprise visit and moreover, would you like to have a gift?” Greg asked as he brought forward a beautiful bunny while Alec smiled. For some reason, it seemed weird because they were meeting over some business meeting. However, Alec still decided to collect the bag. “Thank you, Mr Greg. Are you perhaps leaving soon? We should still do some business' together because it is evident that you are more of a pro in this industry than I am”Alec concluded. If he was able to meet up with several investors like him, it would make him richer and so, he could take the woman he loved places which wouldn't be a problem for him. {Kill him. I hate seeing my rival with another system and you know this} The dark system said within Greg but Greg smiled. Now was probably not t
Finally, after ten minutes, Helen and the director were able to enter the mansion while she gasped in shock. For a while, she had forgotten that she was with her husband and so, needed to maintain her balance. It made her wonder how handsome the owner of the estate would be if his house was this beautiful. “Darling, be on your knees!” Her husband had said but she was too stunned to kneel. If fact, she was dazed. The fact that this had always been the kind of setting she wanted in a living room got her wondering if it was a god living there. He definitely spent millions of dollars. Few minutes later, Alec walked downstairs coldly while he held a cup of coffee, his gaze fixed on the woman who had her eyes fixed on the scenery of the living room while her husband tried to control her. “Enjoying the view?” He asked suddenly while they both looked at him. He could see the shock laced on their face while they gasped. “Alec, what are you doing here?” Helen asked in surprise. “Didn't yo
“Let's just get this done if you know you want to hold the party” Helen's husband said as they passed through a short path and was finally able to get Alec's mansion correctly. “Wow. His mansion is way bigger than ours. Is that why he seemed so crazy earlier?” Helen said and scuffed while her husband tapped her. You definitely want to spend the rest of the day here, in cold since you don't want to cooperate. “What do you mean by that? Are you not both here because we want to see him?” She asked. Just then, they walked up to some armed guards while Helen stared at the guards. Somehow, this was the kind of life she also wished for but when she could not even get that kind of lifestyle, she decided to settle for plan B. At that moment, the snow had started to make the weather become so unbearable while Helen embraced herself.“We want to see your boss. He is expecting us”Meanwhile, in his room, Alec, dressed in his bathrobe stared at the tv screen that was connected to what was goi
“We cancelled the order. Can we have our money back?” Helen said in panic as she checked her phone again only to see that her friends were already at the estate. "Hey, I can't just let you make me be on the loss part. This is how I feed my family!" The baker yelled but the couple did not give her a listening hear instead. “Tom, what do I do?” She asked in panic as an incoming call came in. Have you tried speaking with the estate owner? I can't go down like this”She said again. “What about me? What should I do to the cake you ordered? Do you realize that I am here at all?"“Just hand over our money! We are trying to save for a better apartment and we need money. Please do whatever you can to help us and we promise you that we will pay back in whatever way” Helen said in desperation. "You should have thought about that before you ordered for cake. If you want me to hand over the money, you will go to the cops with me. Whosoever wins has the money and it's obviously me because you
