"Sir, Good day Boss." He stumbled over his words. "Don't call me Boss, I am not your boss. Answer the fucking question if you want to keep your job.""An important man did come to the store but—"The man cut him off.The caller knew he was going to mistake who he was referring to for Benhardt so he stopped him."He came with his friends and what did you do?" The manager’s eyes widened twice their size when he heard that.If this strange man was talking about the one who had just left a few minutes ago, it should be those poor people that he had bashed about not being able to afford their exclusive services.Were they the ones this man is talking about? It couldn’t be!“Sir, there has been no important guest here today come here with his friends. I’m afraid I don’t know what you are talking about. If there were important guests, I would be informed about it, and I would have attended to them myself. I’m sorry, sir, but you made the wrong call,” the manager denied it.It was easier for
“Please, sir. I beseech you to return with me to the store.” the manager said in a pleading tone, almost going on his knees while Ric and his friends stared at him.Didn't he just send them out of the store just now? Why is he back, wailing for them to return to the store?Ric’s glance returned to the cup of coffee before him, he sipped and tapped his fingers on the table gently, ignoring the man before him.When the man sensed Ric’s ignorance, he fell to his knees, crawling to Ric side. He grabbed Ric by his feet and cried. “Master I'm sorry for being stupid earlier. I was drunk and mistakingly chased you out of the store when I wasn’t supposed to do that.”Ric raised his brow and pursed his lips into a thin line before saying. “Please let go of my legs.”The manager shook his head. “No sir, unless you follow me back to the store.” “I don't want to,” Ric replied to him.“Please forgive me, Sir. My family's survival depends on me.” he sobbed. “My daughter is sick, my father has leuke
“Hmm…” the designer breathed in heavily and looked at the manager.“Chase him out.” “He wouldn't dare!” Alessandro said.The manager seeing that he was caught in between the two young men decided to use his senses. He can't annoy Alessandro as he is from a wealthy family and his father might withdraw his membership card, on the other hand, the designer if provoked might not want to interact with their store.He might even convinced other designers not to partner with the stores so he cleared his throat.“Sir, you're our special client and so is him. If I chase him out I might lose my job. Please try to understand me and not put me in a tightened situation.”The designer became quiet as he took his phone and scribbled on it before dropping it back in his pocket.Silence engulfed the air except for the small muttering that emanated from the designer as he conversed with Ric.Not long after a new man walked in and stopped in the middle of the store introducing himself.The manager’s ear
"Please don't let them take Father, please do something. He's all the family has got, the family business would crash in his absence if they take him away for a month." Melissa, Ric's wife cried to her husband.Melissa's desperate plea tugged at Ric's heartstrings. Ric's deep love for Melissa fueled his determination to bring peace to her distressed heart. Despite enduring mistreatment as a live-in son-in-law, his commitment to their relationship remained unwavering, he had always loved her whole heartedly. "Please Ric, it's just going to be a month and you'll be granted the opportunity for bail and Dad will get you out of there, please!" Melissa sobbed even harder as she asked the impossible from Ric."In that month, Dad's campaign would be at its peak, if they take him he'd never become Mayor with the record of an Ex convict, please." Despite Melissa's earnest pleas, Ric shook his head in dejection, torn between his love for her and the weight of accepting responsibility for her f
Three hundred million dollars?!Ric was completely shocked, his eyes wide open and his mouth agape. He knew that his Father was a very wealthy man and the Maximiliano family was a very powerful family in Westmoreland county but as a kid he never really understood the concept of wealth and didn't know his father's net worth.Now he understood.If three hundred million dollars was just pocket money, then it meant that the Maximiliano family had a net worth of over three hundred Trillion dollars.Honestly, at this moment he was slightly moved. However, when he remembered his mother and the suffering she had endured with him when they were thrown out of the mansion, he knew he couldn't forgive his Father so easily.When Benhardt saw his frustration, he quickly said "Young Master, this money is yours after all, see it as compensation for all the suffering and humiliation you've had to endure.""Lord Maximiliano has said that if you would accept, he would let you inherit the Five hundred T
When Mr. Lombardi requested for Ric, the cashier immediately motioned for Ric to come to the counter while she returned to the back of the counter. However, when Mr. Lombardi saw Ric he had doubts in his mind but he was a smart man.Mr. Lombardi masked his doubts and greeted Ric in a polite manner. "Good afternoon Sir, I am Lombardi Leones."Ric was a bit embarrassed but he managed to introduce himself "Ric Mariano" Mr. Lombardi was careful to not offend Ric because the Mariano last name was not very popular in Avrilla city and he suspected that Ric may be from a very rich and wealthy family."Mr. Mariano, please how much would you like to withdraw?" The cashier asked roughly, since the card wasn't fake, she was going to humiliate Ric and prove that the card didn't really belong to Ric. "Please call me Ric, I would like to withdraw thirty thousand dollars." Ric immediately added."But the minimum withdrawal with this card is hundred thousand dollars at once" The cashier asked, her s
The Serene Resorts integrated entertainment, dining and accommodation all in one building. Ric admired the different structures as he made his way to the reception area."Sir, excuse me Sir!" Ric was stopped by a few beautiful ladies when he entered the reception area."Do you have a reservation here Sir?" One of the ladies asked immediately as she took in Ric's appearance. These ladies were responsible for handling the reception duty and they were used to receiving a lot of Elites.Even though these beautiful ladies had contempt in their look, they were still polite in their speech towards Ric.However, Ric wore very cheap and worn out clothes unlike the Rich and influential people who regularly visited."I didn't reserve a place here myself but a friend of mine did." Ric answered as he smiled.At this time he observed the beautiful ladies and observed the high standards of the Serene Resorts. He finally understood why this hotel was one of the biggest luxuries in Avrilla city.The
Ordinarily Rose would have left out the detail of the poor man who tried to feel rich but she felt like if she told Mr. Rogers about it then he would punish the man further and commend her for handling the situation. This would also give her admiration and confidence from the guests that filled the lobby at this time.However, when Ric was brought before Johnson, he was bleeding from his nose and mouth and he was barely able to stand from all the beating. Mr. Johnson was shocked to see who the man Rose was referring to was. Ric had a striking resemblance with his father and Johnson immediately recognized him.Johnson Rogers had diligently served Lord Maximilanno during his stay in Westmoreland county that when Johnson relocated to Avrilla city, Lord Maximilanno had put him in charge of most of his property in the city. That was how Johnson became a very Rich and influential man in Avrilla city."Excuse me Sir, Are you Mr. Ric Maximilanno?" Johnson asked Ric.Although Ric looked nothi
