“Wow!”“How comes we didn’t see this place last night?” Charles spat and began taking steps like a controlled robot toward the Bugatti. Nathan rumbled in laughter. Henry, who had a thing for Lamborghini didn’t take his eyes off the vehicle before him. He turned to Nathan with stars in his eyes. “That’s a fucking Lamborghini!”“I know right,” Nathan replied after a chuckle. Henry rushed to the Lamborghini and couldn’t wait to lay his hands on it. He went around the car with his pupils dilating and the corners of his mouth stretching with excitement. Charles, who was fascinated with the Bugatti turned to Nathan. “Is this the new Bugatti Bolide?”Nathan confirmed with a nod. “That’s it.”Charles gasped and folded his arms across his chest. “This is the latest vehicle and I heard that only a handful was made. Damn!”Nathan gave repeated nods and moved closer to him. “Only three Bugatti Bolides were shipped to Rockville city.”Charles had a dropped jaw. Nathan continued. “My dad got
Chapter 58The boys dispersed to their rooms and assembled downstairs about an hour later. “All set?” Nathan demanded after his feet landed on the last staircase. “Ready as hell!” Henry replied with a wide grin. Charles gave him a soft pat on the back. “He’s so excited about driving us. He was the first to get ready.”Nathan smiled and slipped his hand into his pocket. He pulled out the key to the Lamborghini and handed it over to Henry. “There you go Mr. Chaffeur!”Henry snatched the keys from Nathan like it was some treasure. He dashed out. The boys shook their heads and hurried after him. When Nathan and Charles got to the garage, Henry was already settled in the driver’s seat. “Hurry up guys. Stop walking like slugs. We need to go shopping.”They chuckled and settled on the back seat. “Are you guys ready?” Henry asked, his face screaming excitement. The boys slipped their seat belts around them while Henry adjusted the front mirror. “I think we are all set,” Nathan said.
Chapter 59The boys bore disappointing looks. Charles was the most disappointed and his countenance was more evident among the boys. Just when he thought he was going to look smart in that Brioni, the manager was about to end his dream of owning a designer suit. Nathan and his friends walked up to the manager. Before Nathan could speak, the manager spoke. “I’m sorry guys. You can’t have these suits.” Reiterated to the manager. “But they were on display.” Nathan countered. As far as he was concerned, outfits that were on display were not purchased ones so they had the right to own them.The manager cleared his throat loudly. “Listen! The suits are still on display because the buyer hasn’t claimed them yet. He’s not currently available but will return to pick them up.” He explained. Nathan sighed and pouted his lips in annoyance. “So you’re saying the buyer bought all our three suits?”The manager pointed at the Brioni. “Not just the ones in your possession. All five of them.”Hen
Chapter 60From the moment Nathan humiliated him at the school mall by turning the tables against him, Kelvin had vowed to make Nathan’s life miserable so when he saw him and his friends entering Hose Mario, he decided to exert one of his revenge plans. Nathan folded his arms across his chest while Kelvin was taking bold steps toward them. Kelvin put on a straight face and looked Nathan straight in the face. “Why are you guys looking gloomy like some kids that lost their chocolates?”Charles and Henry clenched their jaws. After their expectations were violated in that store by the manager, Kelvin was the last person they expected to cross paths with. Several thoughts began to waver in Nathan’s mind. What the hell was Kelvin doing at Hose Mario at such an hour? It could be a coincidence that he showed up when they arrived but the way he slipped out of that corner with that mocking dry laugh was what Nathan found suspicious. Kelvin walked closer to Nathan and stood before him with h
Chapter 61“I’ll love to check out the gym at the mansion,” Henry said, his eyes bursting with enthusiasm. Ever since Nathan spoke about the gym in his mansion, Henry couldn’t take his mind off it. “Sounds cool.” Charles agreed with a nod. “I’ll also love to check the place out and work out there.”“Well, you guys can drop me off at Ben’s gym then head back to the mansion,” Nathan said. Henry stepped on the wheels. After driving for about twenty minutes, he pulled the car to a halt in front of Ben’s gym. “You’ve got your gym stuff?” Charles demanded just when Nathan was about to alight from the vehicle. “Ben always has extra stuff,” Nathan replied and hopped down. The boys waved at him and drove away while he traced his way into the gym. Nathan walked inside the gym with a smile. He had missed out a few days from his private lessons with Ben. Ben who didn’t see Nathan step in was pulling out some squats. The clients scheduled for the morning session had already dispersed. “I
Nathan tossed from one edge of his bed to the other. He had been trying to fall asleep but it seems sleep had eluded him. He rubbed his eyes with the edge of his palms and stared at the heart-shaped gold-colored clock that hung above him. It was seven minutes past 1 pm. After his session at the gym with Ben earlier, he had called Larry to come and pick him up. By the time Nathan got to the mansion, the boys were already done with their session though Nathan wasn’t sure if they engaged in a tour at the gym or worked out. After taking their showers, Nathan and his friends settled for some Chinese rice and liver sauce. Nathan then decided to take a nap while the boys remained in the living room. It’s been thirty minutes of tossing around and Nathan barely fell asleep. He sighed and wrapped his hands behind his head, his face facing the chandelier. Nathan couldn’t help but wonder why the workers he had been encountering at his father’s company seemed rude regardless of their positi
The security officer gave his forehead a delicate scrape and turned away. Nathan arched a brow and folded his arms across his chest. “I said take me to the manager’s office right now.” He maintained, staring at the man straight in the face. The young security officer turned to Nathan with a sigh. “I don’t think. He’s….” he began to stumble on his words and at that point, Nathan knew that the man wasn’t willing to take him to the manager. “Listen to me. You either take me to the manager’s office or you risk getting fired.” Nathan confidently stated. The officer looked at Nathan. His nostrils were puffing hot air. “Come with me!” He said after a sigh and turned around. He began leading Nathan to the staircase. Nathan followed the security officer way up the staircase. They got to a hallway and the security officer pointed to the first closed door on his left. The inscription Manager was slapped on the door. There were other offices down the hallway. The security officer left.
Chapter 64Nathan darted his gaze down to the man kneeling before him. He sighed and ran his left hand through his hair.“Get up Bart!”The man was indecisive. Should he remain on his knees and continue to plead for mercy or should he stand up as Nathan requested he wondered. “Get up and return to your office,” Nathan stated. Bart stood up and turned away. He couldn’t even look Nathan in the face. Nathan watched him turn around and head back to his office. He then pulled out his phone and placed a call to Larry. “Come and meet me inside the bank at the reception downstairs.”Nathan made his way down the staircase. He marched to the security officers at the doorpost.Daylan, the security officer who had seen Bart kneeling before Nathan walked up to him. “Get two staff from the deposit counter to the customer care unit immediately. Things are getting messy in there. Tell them it’s the manager’s orders.” Nathan instructed. Daylan nodded in understanding and swung into action. W
