2024-10-29 19:42:56Alec 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 on his usual clothes and shoes. Then, she thought: Ohh, he must have come here to beg me in new shoes. Sheila laughed at that thought. This man was really silly!“Listen, I have nothing to do with you again. You do not deserve a second chance and so, I will never give you anymore!’“And who said I am here for that?” Alec asked, completely annoyed. Harrison didn't understand what was going on but one thing he knew was that his boss probably knew whom this woman was.“How dare you talk to me that way? Do you know that I can sue you for this?” Alec released a sigh. He wouldn't want anyone to get on his bad side. After all, having so much money can also make you do the unthinkable.“I heard you want to meet the owner of the hotel?” Alec said indifferently. Sheila looked at him and frowned, wondering what he was talking about.“Have you gone to hire these people while you go ahead to tell claims saying you are the owner? Alec, come on, we both knew how much you earned while you were under me. Nothing less than a thousand dollars.” She said and continued,“It was barely enough to settle your medical bills and you never even spent much. Just a cloth and shoes and now, you claim you are the owner of this hotel? If you are the owner of the hotel, I am the owner of the city!” Sheila said firmly.“Here am I, the CEO of this hotel. I'm sorry for what may have happened between my staff and I”He said and stared at his staff who seemed sad. She was not sad because of what happened however but sad because she thought that her boss may be a man of perfection and therefore, may want to fire her based on what happened. But Alec was not staring at her because of that. He stared at her bruises. Sheila was an hot tempered woman. She would never agree to whatever anyone said and believed she was always right. Was that one of the many reasons that her husband had moved on with his girlfriend? Alec thought.“You must be kidding. If you do not show me whom your CEO is, I will sue this hotel”“Sheila?” Alec called out. Sheila looked at him in shock. How dare he call her by her name? Only people with high class did that. He was not on the same level with this man!“Did you just call me by my name?” She asked, wanting to be sure.“In as much as you have offended me greatly in the past, I would never take an offense to that. But what I will not agree to is you hitting my staff anyhow!” He said authoratively. Harrison looked at him in shock. Wasn't this man supposed to be begging this woman who threatened to report his hotel?“We both know that your company isn't up to this hotel and cut the crap of you trying to threaten me! If you ever hit any of my staff, I will sue you!” Sheila looked at him for a while and sneered. Did that loser just talk to her that way?“And you, are you okay?” Alec asked his injured staff. He felt she needed to treat her wound. It was pretty obvious and never would he let any of his staff be treated unjustly just the same way he was.“I'll be fine, sir” she said. Alec looked through her collar and saw her name, Debby Green.“Debby, would you like to go out to cool your head and tend your wound?” He asked. Debby felt it was too much for her boss. In fact, She was one of those people that felt that Alec was probably not the owner of the hotel. What if he was sent by someone to buy the hotel in his stead? Nevertheless, she was grateful that this man stood up for her. However, while he was about to say something else, his phone rang. He knew at once that it was his landlord. After all, the man had a specific time he made call to him. Alec didn't blame the man after all. He was 4 months behind on his rent. Seeing his call made Alec remembered those days whereby whenever he came back from work late at night, he would have to sneak into the poor compound. He didn't want anyone embarasing him because he had not paid. It wasn't that he didn't have the money to pay but he had to do everything he could to save his relationship with Sophie back then. But now, he would make sure to give that man double of what he owed him since he seemed a bit patient with him even though he was usually harsh towards Alec while being nice at other neighbours.

“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

“Father, you shouldn't talk this way. We all know about the economic situation of things in the country. Obviously, Mr Alec is trying his best” Hadiza had said in anger when she saw her father pacing, as he checked the time on the old grandfather's watch. Her father was Alec's landlord but then, she seemed to like everything about Alec. He was humble and easygoing despite the fact that he was poor. Her father, being a wise man knew all of these. He had thought that as soon as Hadiza was back from college, she would find someone better and settle with him but Alec, that poor man still being in his house did not make her reason things. That was why he had decided to throw him out of his compound this time around. “Are you crazy? Situation of things? He's behind rent for many months now. If the other tenants do not pay, how on earth do you want me to send you to school?” Hadiza fisted her hands instead. “Not like the house is in good condition either. It is poorly constructed and

It didn't take long before Alec thought of getting registered on Ciber app as a taxi driver. Few minutes later, he had received his first order who had turned out to be from a nearby subway station. Waiting patiently, Alec was surprised to see that it was Sheila. At least, she was beautiful even if she was not much of a baddie. He was pretty sure that he would be able to get extra rewards. Sheila didn't know the Bugatti La Voiture Noir she stood beside was for Alec. In fact, for a while, she admired it so much that she did not know it ever belonged to Alec. She had plans of getting something like this even if it meant through fraud. Everyone had desires after all and seeing the car fulled her desire more. After a while, her phone rang while she walked away for a while and picked up the call. In anger, she called the number Alec had dropped on the app, not knowing that it was him. “Where the hell are you? I paid for this and I would still give a tip, you idiot!” She screamed

“We are sorry about that, ma'am. Mr Jeffery wanted his name there at the dine minute” A worker said politely. Meanwhile, Alec was surprised by the reaction he was seeing on everyone's faces. They all had a mixture of pity on their faces as he walked alongside Jeffery. “We knew that you worked hard at the company and did not have so much, we also know how much you are suffering that you could barely feed yourself and…”“What?”Who was feeding them this nonsense? Alec thought in amusement. He left the company for good and people still thought of gossiping right behind him? So, what if they knew his real identity? The gossip would definitely get trippled! Even if he didn't work for his money, he did tasks and he was rich. "Alec, I also tried to check if Sheila could offer you your job back but it looks like she is hellbent on seeing that you will never end up in the company again." "Not like I'm interested in coming back in the first instance" Alec said and smiled. “Alec, we are

“What did you just call it?” One of Alec's ex-colleague said in surprise as he stared at everyone. In fact, they all seemed to have a look of superise on their faces as they stared at each other. No one had the money to buy something like that and even Jeffery whom they adored so much did not even have that kind of stolen money to get something like that. In the end, it dawned on just one person who did not seem to have their time. Alec. “No, it can't be him” Jeffery muttered as he stared at the man who seemed so focused on his phone as if nothing else mattered to him. “Is Alec perhaps the owner of the car?” Someone asked again. “You really think that is possible for someone like him to own this? He left our company barely a month ago and he is jobless.” Another person replied him. Jeffery, still shocked at the fact that someone else had a car better than him became angry. Why was anyone not saying anything and how come he did not take note of the fact that someone had such a

“Oh this?” The lady said as she touched his laps more intensely. Alec had never felt that way before. He knew he was being seduced but it was not what he wanted to experience for the first time especially from a stranger. Hurriedly, he jerked off her hands off his laps. “I am Khadija and I love what I am seeing” The lady said and gave Alec a seductive look. Alec hurriedly had the car packed as he thought of how best to handle the situation at hand. One thing was sure: Khadija could implicate him if he did not do what she wanted him to do. After all, women seemed to have upper hands than men. “I can't do it. Get out of my car” Alec said in anger. Khadija seemed like she had just seen a big fish and wasn't ready to let go of him instead continued to seduce him. “Have you forgotten? I paid for my tfare and so, you have no right to chase me away. I like you. You have the money I want. How about a tip for the night?” Khadija asked and winked her eyes. Then, Alec understood what sh

“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.

"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'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.

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.

“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.
