In Mia’s house.Gabe went to Draco’s room and had to knock on the door many times to get the door opened.Before Gabe said anything, Draco quickly touched Gabe’s shirt and said, “Uncle, I will give you the phone tomorrow.”“You have school tomorrow, so…” Gabe put his hand forward.Twisting his mouth in many directions, Draco reluctantly gave the mobile back.“Don’t you have your own mobile?” Gabe asked, startling the kid. “I saw you playing with it before.”“U-Uh, that…” Draco didn’t know what to say and ended up saying what had actually happened. “I just lost it today.”“What?” Gabe was shocked. “Lost it? Where?” How could he lose such an expensive mobile! Gabe got so angry he wanted to smack on top of his little head.“Actually, someone in my class stole it,” Draco pitifully explained. “I don’t even know who it is, so I don’t know what to do.”“Didn’t you tell your Mom about it?” Gabe angrily asked.“I did,” Draco’s mouth turned down. “But she beat me.”Gabe controlled his anger and
Bart’s eyes popped out of his sockets as he couldn’t help but keep staring at the incredibly beautiful actresses, for they were irresistible. The actresses didn’t like the look on his face and glared at him, so he looked away.These two actresses were very famous and would charge at least a million dollars or over for a movie. How could they be sitting together with the mayor? At this point, he realized how much he underestimated the mayor’s influence.The actresses clearly didn’t like Bart’s presence, so they started dressing up. After telling the mayor to send the rest of the money to their accounts, they quickly left the room.“Don’t be too shocked,” Brendon lightly punched in Bart’s gut. “Politicians have always sought celebrities during weekends to release their stress or however you see it.” He threw a towel on his father’s crotch to cover the nudity. “Now, let’s talk business, shall we? My dad will give you the money he wants, but you’re going to have to do additional work for
Gabe ran around the whole park, carrying Mia, for almost ten minutes, and many locals saw that.While not many in the neighborhood talked about it, there were some that had taken pictures and posted it on social media. And these pictures received a lot of positive comments, though there were a few who trolled it.Mia got angry at Gabe for carrying her like that, especially when she kept telling him to put her down, but then he touched his ears and did a hundred sit-ups as an apology. After that, Mia couldn’t scold him. She was not that heartless, but she made sure to tell him to never do such a thing, or she might lose it and slap him with her sandals.Gabe promised he wouldn’t do anything that would discomfort her, but he had already promised that he wouldn’t touch her without her permission. Still, he picked her up into his arms and ran all around the park even though she kept telling him to put her down as it was quite embarrassing.To cool Mia’s temper, Gabe bought blueberries at
Draco entered the class without even taking the teacher’s permission. “I know the answer to your question, teacher.”The teacher didn’t like his tone, but she said, “Alright. Tell me the answer now. What’s a logarithm?”“It’s a mathematical function,” Draco quickly glanced down at the book in his hands before looking at the teacher again, “that tells you how dumb you really are.”“Hahaha!” almost all the students in the class started laughing very loudly.“It did tell everyone in the class how dumb you really are!” the teacher hissed. “Get out of the class!”“W-What?” Draco looked shocked. “Was my answer wrong?”The teacher didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Logarithm is the exponent to which a base must be raised to yield a given number. It’s that simple, and yet you started talking about mathematical functions when your syllabus didn’t even cover the functions yet. So how were you able to even bring up that phrase? Did you ask someone after leaving the class? Or did you check the
While Gabe had gone to the school to deal with the lost mobile, his lambo was still parked in the alley not far from his home.Systa didn’t allow Gabe to drive the car, either, so he had no choice but to walk to the school.A random kid came to Mia’s house and told Mia that some children were peeing on the luxury car.Bertha and others told Mia to bring the car to the house. Mia didn’t have the keys, so she went to Gabe’s house. The house wasn’t locked, even though nobody was inside. She entered and looked for keys. Luckily, she found them under the pillow.“He won’t mind if I park the car in front of his house, or will he?” she wondered.In the end, she went to the alley where the car was parked. She couldn’t tell where the children peed, but she saw that the mark that Cynthia left on the car was gone. “He got it fixed, huh. He’s managing the car decently, but high-class cars like these need to look clean, or they look striking.”She pressed a button and the door opened.“Mia Reyes…”
Gabe ran all the way to Tuna Waves, the five-star restaurant. His shirt was soaked in sweat. He smelled so bad he didn’t want to use his shirt to wipe the sweat off his face.[You came here without taking a bus.] Systa said. [That was an 8.5 mile sprint. It helped improve your stamina and all, but how are you going to eat here and expect to pay the bill? You aren’t planning on begging me, or are you?]“Hmph,” Gabe snorted and was about to enter the building, but the guards stopped him. They were tall and healthy. Their clothes had golden lining, making them look regal and rich.Contrarily, Gabe’s pants were covered in dirt, especially at the knees.“Excuse us, but do you have money to afford a meal in this place?” one of the guards asked.“W-What makes you think I don’t have the money?” Gabe’s heart raced.“You look like you can’t afford it,” the guard was blunt. “That’s why, I think you should choose another hotel.”“Are you kidding me? This is the Dream Zone! The busiest place in th
“Aren’t words enough for you, Mister?” The guards raised their voice against Gabe. They didn’t have batons or anything on them that they could use to intimidate, so they had to rely on their voice and tall body frame.“Calm down, handsome fellas,” Gabe tried to reason with them. “Let’s play rock, paper, scissors. If I win against you both, you let me in. What do you say?”“Against both of us?” the guards looked at each other. “Even if you win against us, you don’t have the money to pay for the meal.”Gabe took his mobile out. “This is worth over 1500 dollars.”The guards checked to see if it was a real mobile or not, but after realizing that it was a genuine high-end mobile, their expressions completely changed. “S-Sir, please forgive us for doubting you.”“It’s okay. Let’s play the game,” Gabe said.“No, no, please go inside,” the guards showed him the way.Gabe happily walked in and looked proud of himself. “You are going to pay the bill, right?”[I said I would, so yes, you can eat
Hanley, the manager, was fifty-three years old. Because he dyed his hair black, he looked younger than his actual age. Many women working in his professional and personal life tried to get closer to him because he was a successful manager who amassed a wealth of four million dollars ever since he started working in Tuna Waves about three years ago. Having said that, more than half of his amount was earned illegally.Still, Hanley managed to maintain a near-perfect image in the restaurant. He was able to enjoy the luxuries of a manager to the fullest extent possible, and so he thought everything was in his reach.With that same confidence, he had asked Nicole out on a date on the first day she joined as an intern. She looked so homely to him, and he wanted to experience her, but Nicole said no. She didn’t directly reject him but said she wouldn’t date anyone from her workplace and asked him to excuse her.He wanted to indirectly give her trouble so she’d lose her job, but to his surpri
