Chapter 112They carefully mapped out the route to the nearest laptop store, a place promising the gateway to a world of possibilities.As they stepped into the store, they were greeted by a vast array of sleek machines, each whispering tales of innovation. The storekeeper, a grizzled character with a knack for salesmanship, eyed Lucas with a hint of scepticism because of the common clothes he put on. Undeterred, Lucas approached the counter, ready to make his selection. However, the storekeeper, in an unexpected turn of events, seemed to revel in a moment of humiliation. With a sly grin, he questioned Lucas's tech knowledge, attempting to belittle him in the realm of gigabytes and processors.He directed him to where he could get his size in terms of his budget and quality preferences. Sheila frowned at this, she disagreed to let Lucas leave the spot. "Ma'am, this man can't afford any laptop here, let him go to where he can get a used or scrap one" he said as he arched his thick b
Chapter 113.Fear engulfed his features immediately his boss abruptly ended the call. He knew his boss whenever he was angry and no one dared to go against his decision at that moment. He went on his knees facing Sheila and Lucas, he began to beg them for mercy, he said his eyes were paining him which was why he could not see her clearly Saun and his girlfriend whom he had given the laptop to were brought in by security, and the manager landed a slap on Saun's face that he was a thief for collecting the laptop from him. If he was that important, why was he and his girlfriend not shown on the television that they should open their eyes and see Sheila on the television?

Chapter 114Sheila didn't want to go further because of Lucas's facial expressions, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on his mind."I don't know your chairman, so if you lose your job so be it" she sneered"I'm sorry ma, he said you are powerful and can stop supply into his store, his decision is final, only you can talk to him. Please, have mercy on me. I do not deserve your forgiveness " "Then stop begging,"She gestured to Lucas and they prepared to leave the store. The manager quickly grabbed Lucas by his leg and continued begging. "Please, help me beg your wife sir" he was drenched in sweat and became disoriented. Lucas was embarrassed and his gaze met Sheila's gaze. Why would he refer to them as husband and wife? He was not deaf when Saun was saying what Sheila told him 7 years ago, he thought they might have probably tied the knot. Lucas violently shook his leg from his grip and he fell on the floor. "I will forgive you because of your wife who is battling cancer"

"It's a bit far, don't worry about the transport, I'm managing the $5000 you gave me recently""Tomorrow is Saturday, will you be free?
