2024-07-09 01:30:21Fiona was shocked by the sudden outburst of the man but she still refused to come out of the car.
"If you are not here for me, then who did you come to pick?" Fiona asked stubbornly. "I came to pick up a Mr. Gerald." The man explained. Fiona on hearing Gerald's name burst into laughter. The man was surprised by her sudden laughter and could not help but wonder if something was wrong with her. "And why are you laughing?" The man asked Fiona. "I think there is a mistake somewhere because the person you are claiming that you were sent to pick up is an ex-convict! I mean he just came out of prison!" Fiona told the man. Fiona could not bring herself to believe that Gerald who just came out of prison would be picked up by a fleet of luxurious cars. The man got tired of Fiona's complaints and asked her to show him Gerald. Fiona still thinking that everything was a prank pointed at Gerald. The man walked up to Gerald who had been watching the scene with an amused face. "Good day sir, my name is John." The man introduced himself to Gerald. "Good day," Gerald replied. "I want to believe that I am speaking to Mr. Gerald," John said. "Yes, I am Gerald," Gerald answered. John bowed his head in respect to Gerald. "Please forgive me for the delay sir but Mr. Wellington asked me to bring you to him," John said. Gerald knew that the old man was Mr. Wellington because that was the name that was written on the black card. "It's okay, I understand," Gerald answered. "Please sir, come to the car with me." John stretched his hands towards the car. Gerald smiled and walked to the car. John got there to see that Fiona was still sitting inside the car with her mother and he got angry. "I asked you to leave this car! You are not the person I came to pick up." John insisted. Fiona was reluctant to accept the reality as the whole scenario was looking like a dream to her. "I insist that there must be a mistake somewhere! You need to call Mr. Wellington in my presence to confirm who he asked you to pick up." Fiona whined. "That would be a waste of time," John said. "I do not care! Don't you know who I am? I am the CEO of a listed company!" Fiona revealed. Fiona thought that revealing her identity as the CEO of a listed company would make John change his mind but the reverse was the case as John was prepared to pull her out of the car. "You are not qualified to speak with Mr. Wellington so I will advise you to get out of the car else I will pull you out myself." John threatened. He was already running out of patience and it was obvious that Fiona was not ready to relinquish her claim to the car. Fiona's face reddened with shame and humiliation. She beckoned to her mother and they both quickly came out of the car. John brought out a small towel and used it to wipe off the place where Fiona and her mother had sat down. When he was done, he respectfully beckoned on Gerald to get into the car. The reporters who had witnessed everything began to take pictures of Gerald as he entered the car. Gerald entered the car and they drove off. The people started gossiping about Fiona and discussing what had just happened. "Oh, poor lady." One of them said. "She must have thought the fleet of cars was here for her." Another said. "How embarrassing! If I were in her shoes, I would wish the ground to open and swallow me." Another person chipped in. Fiona could hardly contain her embarrassment. She was looking for a means of escape when a brand new expensive car stopped in front of her. Ivan came out of the car with excitement as he went to meet Fiona. "I just got this car and it's very expensive." He announced to her as soon as he came down from the car. The car was beautiful and expensive but it paled in comparison to the fleet of cars that just took Gerald away and that memory alone got Fiona angry. Ivan tried to hug her but she shifted backwards. "What is it, Fiona?" Ivan asked, surprised at the change in her attitude towards him. "You came late!" Fiona said. "I'm sorry about that dear, I would have arrived sooner but the fleet of cars blocked my way." He tried to explain. "I believe someone rented them." He added. Fiona bought the idea and believed that Gerald had rented the car to show off and pretend to be rich. She told Ivan what had happened and Ivan also believed that Gerald had rented the car to make Fiona jealous. "He is a sore loser!" Fiona said. Ivan noticed that Fiona was angry so he decided to look for a way to cheer her up. "Please enter the car, let me take you to the Metro Hotel for dinner to celebrate your divorce from that loser," Ivan suggested and Fiona smiled. While in the expensive car, Gerald asked John where they were going to meet Mr. Wellington. "I'm taking you to the Metro Hotel," John answered.

The fleet of cars stopped at the Metro Hotel and John quickly rushed down to open the car door for Gerald. "We are here sir," John announced to Gerald as he opened the door. Gerald came out of the car and stood in awe of the magnificent Hotel. Metro Hotel was the top Hotel in the city. It was a thing of pride to tell someone that you went to the Metro Hotel for dinner not to talk about lodging there. "Please come with me, sir," John said. Gerald followed John and they both entered the hotel. John told Gerald that Mr. Wellington was in the VIP section of the Hotel. Gerald followed John to the VIP section but John stopped at the lobby. "I'm afraid this is the limit I can go," John explained. "I don't understand what you mean," Gerald said with a confused look on his face. "The thing is, I am not qualified to enter the VIP section of the hotel," John explained. "Okay, so how do I get to see Mr. Wellington?" Gerald asked still confused. "A designated receptionist would com

The woman asked, standing up. Gerald was mad at her for calling him a thug but he decided to control his anger out of respect to the old man. "With all due respect sir, I do not appreciate your granddaughter calling me a thug! It's an insult to my person." Gerald complained. "Oh please cut the crap!" The woman shouted at Gerald. "You are not just a thug, but a pervert also!" Gerald became angry. He could not understand why the woman kept insisting that he was a pervert when everything was just a mistake. He regretted his good intentions to help her. He would have just allowed her to fall down and maybe then she would not have been insulting him right now. The old man saw that things were beginning to escalate between Gerald and his granddaughter. So he decided to stop the matter from escalating. "Grace.

As far as she knew, her grandfather had only told her that he had found a doctor who could cure him. Mr. Wellington looked at Gerald and then at Grace. "I called you here because I wish you could marry my granddaughter, Grace." The old man said. Gerald and Grace were both surprised. Gerald wondered why the old man would want him to marry his granddaughter while Grace was also surprised at why her grandfather would want her to marry a stranger. Gerald was thinking if the old man did not trust him enough to heal him, and wanted to use his granddaughter as leverage, because if he get married to a member of his family, he would have no choice but to treat him well. Gerald knew that he was not ready to remarry again, not after the recent betrayal he just experienced from his ex-wife, Fion

She e greeted coldly. "I can see that you arrived quite early and on time." She said. Gerald smiled and ignored a cold attitude, and then he said, "How are you?

He moved towards Gerald again and tried to punch him, but Gerald overpowered him and kicked him in the chin, and he fell down on the floor again. He could not believe that Gerald was stronger than him."How come? How come you are stronger than me? I am the disciple of a master." Ivan said to Gerald. Gerald ignored Evan's question and looked at him contemptuously. He walked towards him to where he was and stepped on his chest. "Now, you must apologize. Who is useless? Who is the useless one among the both of us?" Gerald asked him.Ivan refused to back down, he refused to accept defeat, and instead he continued to threaten Gerald.

Gerald scoffed at Henry. He believed that if only Henry knew that he was invited by Grace to come work there, he would not be talking to him the way he was doing.Gerald believed that Henry would have been addressing him with respect if he knew the connection he had with Grace and her grandfather."How dare you scoff at me?" Henry asked in anger. "You bloody ex-convict!" Gerald did not want to get angry with Henry because of Grace, so he kept quiet while Henry called him names.Henry on the other hand became more angry with the silent treatment Gerald was giving him.He could not stomach the fact that someone who he believed was beneath his status would keep silent as he was talking to him."You have the guts to ignore me when I'm talking to you?

Henry and the security were both stunned to hear what Gerald said. The security quickly stood up and he became scared not knowing if he had offended someone higher than Henry unknowingly to him. Henry quickly let go of his shock and his face turned into a sneer. "You are not just a criminal, but also a pathological liar!" Henry shouted. "What?" Gerald said. Henry burst into a mocking laughter before he answered Gerald. "You must think that I'm a fool to believe that my boss would stoop low as to date a low-life criminal like you!" Henry jeered. The security nodded his head in agreement with what Henry said. He thought about it and he realized that it was unrealistic for their boss to date someone like Gerald. He began to curse himself for getting scared easily. "That is true!" The security blurted out. "There is no way our boss would date someone like you!"

He knew she was too inquisitive to let the situation pass without her knowing what exactly was wrong which was why he did not explain to her on the phone."Sir, I knew this criminal here was just wasting our time, allow me to teach him a lesson." The security said."You are right." Henry agreed with security.He called in two extra security guards and they came."Drag him out of here and let's teach him a lesson," Henry instructed the security guards.
