THE UNSTOPPABLE BOSS

Chapter 4: Not a worthless man.

You scoundrel!!” The fat woman growled. “You think I'll never find you!!” Her voice dripped with hatred. “Today is the dead end for you!!”

Her harsh voice startled Lizzy, sending shrills of fear through her spine.

She shivered with her eye casted downward as the woman had swore to disgrace her so she began shouting.

“This filthy sandbag just damaged the expensive gadgets I bought! She's nothing but a little rat who causes trouble around and she must pay for everything….” The fat woman continued ranting, her voice attracting more attention to them.

Customers and workers present there gathered around the scene. Whispers and murmurs of abuse polluted the once serene atmosphere.

If Lizzy was an ice, she could have melted because the embarrassment was too much for her. Each whisper cut through her heart deeply, making his heart ache bitterly. She felt tears threatening to spill from her eyes.

A droplet of tears tickled to the floor from her eye. Marcus gritted his teeth angrily when he saw her shedding tears.

“Enough!!!” His voice rang aggressively and overshadowed the murmurs, making the atmosphere fall into silence. All turned to him.

“I’ll pay the money!” He broke the silence, darting his eye on the crowd.

They all stared at him and if he had just pronounced an abominable statement. They stared at him, taking in his filthy and unpresentable appearance.

“He looks like a beggar! How the heck did he enter here!” Someone mocked.

“He’s definitely a thief! Look at his clothes!!” Another person chimed disdainfully.

Mike, the manager of Smart techs and gadgets had seen from a computer in the control room what was happening so came down to take control of whatever was going on. He is tall with an intimidating appearance.

He approached the scene in a Navy Blue three piece suit, looking rich and charming but he's rude. Following him behind were two huge bodyguards with a baton in their hand.

A deep frown knotted his forehead when he saw the crowd. “What the heck is going on here!!” He asked the female sales attendant and averted his eye to the crowd.

Before the sales attendant could say a word, the woman blurted.

“This girl here broke new gadgets I bought and she has refused to pay!! She was determined to humiliate Lizzy, knowing fully well she wouldn't be able to pay for the damages.

Mike turned to Lilly. “Is that the case?” He stared at her. “You must pay for the damages you incurred otherwise..

“I said I'll pay for it!!” Marcus chipped in confidently.

Mike stared at him with a subtle frown on his face. “And who are you sir?” He scanned him from head to toe, wondering how someone like him passed the guard at the door.

“I came to purchase some gadgets and this girl here is my sister.” He referred to Lilly.

“Good!” He turned to the sales attendant. “Come calculate the price of the damages.” He instructed her.

All eyes fell on her as she walked out from the cut -out and squatted before the bag. She opened it and started taking the price of the damaged gadgets.

“It’s $1 million dollars sir!!” She stood up and reported.

Marcus chuckled as if she just cracked a joke, his confidence unscathed.

“Just $1 million dollars?” He said as if the money was nothing.

Mike stepped closer to him with anger noticeable on his face.

“Young man, do you think this is a joke!! Do you know what trouble you just got yourself into because I believe you can't even afford the money! You should be pleading for mercy!!”

Hearing that, Lilly started a fresh tear.

Marcus snorted, his confidence in check. “Is this how you treat your customers!?” He glared at him.

“Customers?! Huh And where is the customer?” He looked around sarcastically as if Marcus was never there even though he was standing before him.

He looked at him, his upper lips shifted a bit, expressing the condescending look on his face “I see a beggar! A hungry man walking around with his poor sister!” Mike spat, his words cutting Marcus deeper.

“I’ll make you regret this!” Marcus said loudly.

Those who heard him laughed at him mockingly. He's actually threateningly the almighty manager of smart tech. Without him, smart tech is a pile because his brother owns the place.

“You should start begging now because you'll be the one to regret it when you find yourself spending the rest of your life with your poor sister in jail!” Mike said with an undeniable assurance in his voice.He could do far worse if he wanted.

“You heard her. You should pay now.” He said calmly but the sneer in his voice was obvious. He knew Marcus would definitely bite the dust.

Without saying a word, Marcus walked to the counter to make the payment. The bold movement surprised everyone even Mike so he gripped him on his shirt and glared at him ferociously saying,

“Listen, don't try to play smart with me here because I'm smarter!” He forcefully released his grip on his shirt.

Marcus dusted his clothes sarcastically even though it was already too dirty. He smiled but deep down, anger was boiling inside of him.

He gritted his teeth and approached the counter where he'll pay. The sales attendant called out the company's account number.

Tension rose in the air as Marcus operated on his phone. Lizy had almost melted with fear where she stood because she believed Marcus was only trying to prolong time to prevent her from getting embarrassed quickly.

She thought of escaping but seeing the two huge guards who stood at the door with their scary baton, she gulped hard and abolished the thought. It's a mission impossible!

Mike pulled the two guards closer and whispered into their ears. They nodded and took position at the door.

Buzz!

Mike's phone vibrated in his pocket. He glanced at Marcus to see him staring at him with a smile playing on his lips.

Dipping his hand into his pocket, he retrieved the phone, his eyes settled on the screen.

His eyes grew wide. Staring back at him is a bank alert.

A smooth transfer of $1 million dollars beaming on his phone!!!

He stared at the screen with a look of disbelief on his face. He looked at Marcus to see him smiling at him. He averted his eyes back to the screen, his confusion obvious.

Marcus Stepped closer to him and whispered to his ear. “You need to believe it.” He smiled at him mockingly and walked to Lily. He wiped her tears.

“Let’s get out of here. They're not worth our presence.” He held her hand. He heard the female attendant asking Mike if the money was transferred but he couldn't respond, rather he stood there like a statue, wallowing in deep shame.

On his way out, he heard a voice from the all- powerful system. “Congratulations host, you have completed another task.”

He smiled.

His phone buzzed at that alive and when he stared at the screen.

$300 billion dollars stared back at him on the screen.

He couldn't speak. His body trembled that even Lily felt it from his hand which gripped her.

Dave realised his life had taken a new turn. A feeling of satisfaction and confidence washed over him as he walked out of smart tech.

Mike was clearly frustrated and angered by Marcus's pride. He wouldn't let a worthless guy go Scot free after embarrassing him!

“That man must not get out of here! Seize him!” He commanded the body guards.
