CHAPTER 92Jude stood in his tracks as he looked at the woman in shock, unable to believe her warm gestures, he looked behind him to see if there was someone else who was walking into the store or if he was the only one at the front of the entrance door.However, the woman shot him a warm smile, assuring him that he was the one she gestured to.He stepped into the store and the chill breeze coming from the well-positioned air condition welcomed him, drying off the sweat that had formed multiple beads on his forehead. The woman kept up her smile and asked him politely if he cared for any drink or just water.He was speechless at her question as that was the last thing he was expecting from her or anyone in that line due to his previous experience. Jude collected a bottle of water and gulped it as fast as he could. However, he could notice the managers and salespersons from the other store staring at them in amazement. They were mocking the woman for accepting him into her store, the
Chapter 93Pov_“Here is my card, I am paying with this” he said stretching forth his hand to the manager.“Alright, I will make the payment now, come with me” the manager replied as she led the way to the office but on their way two cars caught his attention and he moved closer to see what brand of car they were.“I love this car, they look unique and I trust they are comfortable to ride in” he said and she looked at him a little bit doubtful due to the price of each car.“So what are you saying?” She asked and he looked through the window into the car before turning to her.“I will take these two” he replied pointing to one Range Rover and a Rolls royce.She swallowed her spit nervously before talking. “What about the ones you picked out?” “I will pass on that, they look too burgeoning,” he responded.“I should charge it from this card right or do you have another means of paying?” She asked and he shaked his head negatively. “Alright, come with me” She walked to an office, she ga
Chapter 94They all waited with so much anticipation hoping to see Jude chased out of the store but unfortunately they saw a car being driven out of the store, so they all rushed into the store and started asking questions based on their curiosity.“Where is the man?” Someone among the group of people that rushed into the store asked, while the staff were trying to keep them calm and answer their questions the manager came out due to the noise and they all went quiet a little bit.“What is going on here?” She asked and they all turned towards her and looked so earnest to hear what she had to say.”Why are they all here? She asked.“They’re–” Helen, one of the sales representatives, tried to explain what was happening but someone among the crowd interrupted her.“Where is jude ?” A woman in her early 40s asked as she waited patiently for an answer.“He just left with his car” she replied but they all seemed to have doubts.“He is broke, how was he able to afford it?” Someone asked and s
Chapter 95POV_After they had all confirmed that Jude wasn't poor but rather rich, they started regretting why they had chased him away instead of welcoming him.“You caused all these, if you hadn't told me he was poor, I won't have chased him out of my store” one woman said to another woman who immediately turned to the man beside her.“Me? I passed information I heard to you from him, he told me how poor the guy was and I was trying to save you from that, how is that my fault?” She fired back and the man did same thing by turning to a woman beside him.“She told me about the information she got, I just did what was necessary at that time” he said calmly without rushing.This went on for five minutes till the whole matter landed on a woman who happened to had started the rumor of Jude being a pauper and how unfortunate it would have been having him in their stores.“I didn't do anything wrong, I just told her what Mrs Jackson said about the man being very poor, it's her fault we los
Chapter 96Pov_She looked at her locker as she picked out her home wear and pull out the uniform, the other workers had left the room.“I hope he or she gets fired for doing that” one of the ladies said as they both walked out of the room. The lady became angry at everyone blaming her for passing across an information she heard.“Why am I to be blamed for doing my job right? I didn't do anything wrong so why am I getting fired?” She said to herself as another worker walked in and overheard her saying that.“So you were the one who started the rumor about him being poor” the staff confronted her and she became speechless at first.“I…I am” she stuttered and the other lady said.“I am glad you're getting fired, it'd be so nice not having to see you everyday” she said and as she was about to walk away, the lady fired back.“What is so wrong with me saying this gs I heard? How is it also my fault that I didn't know he was rich? It wasn't fault he looked so poor.” She said defensively.“J
Chapter 97The moment Jude approached the company, the sun had already risen slowly from the horizon, casting long shadowy patterns over the city.He had some things that he wanted to take care of at the company before he visited Samantha. The moment he entered the bustling environment of the company, he walked with a very fast pace, nodding his head to the greetings he got from the staff and made his way up to the elevator.The moment he got upstairs, he went straight into his office. Secretary Kim was scribbling some things on her note when she saw her boss walk into his office. He seemed to be in a hurry as he didn't even hear her greet him.The moment she saw him go into his office, she stood up from her chair and went straight after him because she knew he was going to demand her presence any moment from now."Thank God, I'm done with my tasks today." She muttered under breath and raised her hand to hit the door.She knocked lightly on the door and entered after she had heard h
Chapter 98POV_Samantha hearing that she had a package became surprised and also confused, she looked over to Jude who was sipping his coffee and also has a confused look on his face. “Did you plan any of this?” She asked looking straight into his eyes but not knowing if it was the car he had bought for her, he nodded negatively.“No, I have no idea what it is about, maybe you should go take a look at it” he said and she looked at him for a while before standing up and followed the security who had come to inform her about the package.“Let's go'' she said as the man led the way outside of the company through the front door with jude following her by the side.When they got outside, a young but yet old man approached her immediately the security guard pointed towards him as the delivery guy.“Good morning, are you Ms Samantha?” He asked and she nodded.“Yes, I am… how can I help you?” She said and asked.The man stretched forth a car key to her and she collected it.“What is this fo
Chapter 99.They both walked back into the company with Samantha folding her arms and tapping her leg continuously as Jude walked up to her.“I am returning this first thing after work” she said, still tapping her leg on the floor.“You don't have to return it back, I did it because I love you, it's a token of my love to you Samantha” the same man who had claimed the gift said and they both looked at him.“I appreciate the kind gesture but I can't accept this, I'm sorry.. here is your car key” she said as she stretched forth her hand towards him but he refused to collect it.“You already signed the papers which indicates you're the new owner of the car, I have no say to that and I can't take it away from you, it's a gift I got for you.. you should use it well” he said in a little bit loud tone and the crowd which had despaired gathered again.“I signed that because I was trying to avoid drama but now thinking about it, I don't feel right about collecting a gift from an unknown person”
