“impossible" Muna stated.

“Oh my goodness... I'll be back!." Kelly said as she ran told her car to get the details to complete the transaction.

“It's one thing to talk it's another thing to do..." Muna said, she felt ashamed but she was ready to secure her pride till the end.

Troy smiled.

“Transaction was successful, eight hundred thousand dollars has been credited!." Kelly said as she read from her screen.

Muna was watching in terror, the man she had underrated had just payed hundreds of thousands without batting an eyelash.

“Oh no...." Muna said staring at Troy in shock, when he met her eyes, she removed her eyes sharply and she ran away from the scene, she could not stand the shame any longer.

“Thank you very much sir." Kelly said hugging Troy very tightly. He was engulfed by her sweet scent.

She released him.

“I'm sorry for hugging you without your permission I was just excited." Keely apologized.

“No need to apologize." Troy told her.

“You're very generous sir." Kelly said thanking Troy.

Troy's phone beeped in his pocket. He took it out and he read the screen, it was an unknown number calling him.

" Not again... " He said thinking it was Vivienne.

He was relieved when he saw that it was Mr Ford. He was calling to ask about the incident of Troy's uncle calling him a scammer. Mr Ford was ready to deal with the man, but Troy was worried that Mr Ford's punishment would be too unbearable, so he told Mr Ford to cease any plans.

“Sir, please can I have your attention?." Kelly asked.

Troy had completely forgot about her, he was about to leave when she spoke. He turned to her with a smile.

“You have been invited to a get together. I told my boss about your generous action and he wants to thank you." Kelly said.

She really wanted to show Troy how grateful she was, she had been working with the organization for about a year and half but her salary had been inconsistent because it was hard for her to score a deal when the other workers that have been working in the organization are better effective than her, also they have formed bonds with Influential people over the year and she was still a newbie.

Her boss had already given her the promotion over the phone, it was all due to Troy's sponsorship and her happiness knew no bounds.

“When is the get together?." Troy asked her.

" This night. It starts by eight pm." She replied.

Since Troy had nothing to do, he agreed to go for the get together, only because Kelly was the one of the only few persons that he met that didn't mind about what he looked like, she respected him either ways, whether he was poor or rich, she didn't care.

Troy got back to his house to see many clothes lined up in the closet, it was filled from top to bottom. He took one of the evening tuxedos and when he was ready, he told the driver to drive him to the place.

He spotted Kelly and he went over to where she was standing. She was looking very beautiful in a black tube dress. Troy grinned as he saw her.

“You're late sir, the party has almost ended, now they're just opening slots for people that want to fund projects." Kelly said, she was sad that he had missed most of the fun.

Troy was about to reply when a voice called his attention.

“Troy?." A guy asked coming towards Troy with a drink in his hand, Troy immediately recognized who he was.

It was Matt, Troy's highschool classmate, the person that showed him hell and tormented him through out his highschool years. The embarrassing moments and bullying flashed in Troy's mind and Immediately, Troy felt sick.

“I knew it was you." Matt said looking at Troy from head to bottom. “You look good, I heard that you got married into a rich family although that's not good news since you're just a live in son in law, did they give you this tuxedo?." Matt asked with laughter, people started turning to see what was going on, they were listening to what Matt had to say next and watching Troy's reaction.

“Matt, what are you doing here?." Troy asked Matt through gritted teeth.

“I was employed here two years ago, I'm head of accountants." Matt said with a wide grin, proud of his rank and he was very sure that Troy was just a janitor because he had heard of it. He wasn't aware of Troy's new upgrade.

“And so Troy, what are you?.... Head of janitors?." Matt asked with laughter. Some people in the crowd mumbled.

“If what Matt is saying is true, then he is really being fed and clothed by his wife's family." Someone said to another.

“His bank account must be zeros, working as a janitor." Another person said, this time out loud and a bunch of people laughed.

Immediately, an announcement came that the giveaway was commencing, the person that gave the most would receive a feature in the company's magazine with the amount they had given published for the public's eye.

Matt's lips curled up in a smile.

People started to take their places in the card stand where they would transfer the amounts and their donation would later be announced to everyone In the party.

“Troy why don't you go and transfer all of your life's savings which is probably like twenty dollars at most." Matt said and the crowd laughed again.

Kally tightened her hand on Troy's arm.

" I'm so sorry for all this, Matt is a bully and just an asshole, please I'm sorry for all of it." Kelly said to Troy.

" Kelly, you don't have to apologize." Troy reassured her and he finally took his place at the stand.

He told the clerk how much he was going to give and the clerk's eyes widened in shock.

“Are you sure?." The clerk asked Troy.

“Take this card and complete the transaction." Troy said handing his black card to the young man.

The young man rarely saw a black card, he thought that maybe Troy was just faking it. He was ready to call his boss and report Troy as a fraudster but immediately he ran the card to check it's authenticity, it wasn't just an ordinary black card, it was the kind that was produced specially for a particular customer.

The clerk's eyes widened In shock, he could barely meet Troy's gaze. The card wasn't just extraordinarily authentic, the name on the card spoke wonders.

“Ar- are you Mis- Mister Troy Winthrop?." The clerk stuttered, he knew who the Winthrops were and he was amazed that one old them was standing in front of him.

" Yes, I am." Troy replied and the clerk swallowed hard.

" Transaction completed sir, it's time for the announcement." The clerk said and he passed the list to the boss.

The boss was standing on stage with the list in his hand, when he looked at the last participant and the amount, he almost dropped the list from excitement.

" Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!." The boss announced, everybody gave their rapt attention because they wanted to know who the winner was and the amount the winner had given.

“This is the biggest donation we have ever seen since this organization started... The donor is..."
