The Billionaire Forgotten Heir

Chapter four

Everyone around them were shocked at the sudden change of air in the room. One second, they were ridiculing a fraudster and the next seconds, their boss was greeting him with utmost respect. 

    " What's going on here? Is this man a big wig or something? Manager won't be like this if he doesn't recognize him. I guess we are screwed! What do we do, Sir?" One of the Security men asked the one at the front and they both shook their heads in dilemma. 

   The security men were the first to caught wind of the matter and they quickly scurried away with their tail hanging cowardly at their back!

    While the counter clerk was trying to figure out what was happening, Griffin was extremely shocked to the extent that he couldn't close his mouth and just kept looking at the man with creased brows. 

   " Please come with me. " The man said with his head still a little bowed. His face was plastered with respect, apology and admiration and not even a ounce of arrogancy could be felt in him.

   Griffin pulled himself out of his trance and his eyes twitched. " Come with you? To where?" He asked as he was cautious. He felt like the man might be deceiving him and he might have something bad planned for him but then again, why would he? Why would the man act so respectful if he wanted to hurt him or arrest him?

   It was simply not imaginable and Griffin decided to follow the man in and hear him out. 

   " He's older than I am but I should be stronger. If anything happens in there, I will fight my way out and escape from here and maybe I will run to the Edward's house and tell them to take responsibility for fooling and embarrassing me like this." He thought inwardly and groaned. 

   The man led the way while Griffin walked right behind him as they both walked toward the elevator but the man stopped right in front of the elevator and turned his head to glare at the counter clerk. He gave her the YOU ARE DONE look and the clerk was troubled but there was nothing she could do.

   " Whoaa! Seems someone is in trouble!" Griffin mocked inwardly. 

   The two went directly to the man's office and Marcus was shocked when he saw at the front of the man's office that he was the general manager of the bank! What would a general manager have to do with him?

    " Come in, please. " The man muttered when he realized Griffin was standing in front of his door without entering. 

   " Ah Yes!" Griffin quickly pulled himself together and entered the office. He walked toward the man and stood in front of him. " Why did you invite me here?" He asked impatiently as his mind wasn't settled.  What was worse? The card remained in the man's hand and he wasn't giving it back to him!

    The man smiled politely and offered him a seat " Please have your seat. I will attend to you personally. This card of yours is a high grade one and a one of a kind.  We only have very few of this and it was made for our best and richest clients. Seeing that you have one with you only means one thing and it's the fact that you ain't someone to be meddled with. I'm sorry for the clerk's rude behavior and I'm promising you that this kind of thing will never happen again.  Please, permit me to serve you today. " The man explained and Griffin was shocked!

   With the look on the man's face, Griffin Wright was sure that the man wasn't lying or making up things. The look on his face was full of respect toward Griffin and Griffin needed no one to tell him that he wasn't in trouble but in total luck!

   " Wow! For the first time in my life, I guess I really hit it big time this time around. This is beautiful!" He praised in his mind and his eyes shone with excitement. 

    Griffin's lips curved into a smile as he walked over to the seat that was prepared for him and sat on it. He crossed his legs and nodded his head. " It's okay. I was actually at fault for not explaining properly to her who I am. " He replied with an air of arrogance in his voice and the manager smiled. 

   Yes! This was what Griffin wanted from the start of his life! A life where he would be able to control things and everything would be under his control! A world where he would have enough power at his disposal and live the life he wanted to the very top!

   " I'm liking this more than I thought. "

    He smiled back at the man as the man walked over to his seat and immediately got to business.  It only took few seconds before the man revealed a satisfied smile and opened his mouth to talk. " Take Sir. " He handed the card to Griffin and his smile widened.

 " Your debt has been cleared. Your name has been added as one of our top clients and I will make sure you enjoy every good things our best clients enjoy. " The man promised and Griffin nodded his head as he collected the card from the man and stood up 

   "Can I leave now ?" He asked and the man immediately stood up too. He walked over to Griffin with his head still bowed and stretched his hand forth. 

   " It's my pleasure meeting you, Sir. My name is Damon Cruz and I'm the general manager of this bank. " He introduced and Griffin accepted his hand with respect. Being rich did not delete his sense of respect and he knew when he needed to be humble. 

   " Mine is Griffin Wright and I'm Edward Devon's son and the only heir." He replied.  He still felt awkward introducing himself that way but he figured he needed to create a place for himself in the bank and that was exactly what he was going to do.

   The general manager mouth hung open and he couldn't believe his ears. He stared dumbfoundedly at Griffin and he found it hard to even breathe. 

   " Edward's heir?! Edward's heir! The f**k is happening here? I just met Edward's heir for the very first time in my life and he patronizes my bank??!"

   Griffin seeing how shocked the man looked decided to leave on his own accord and he walked out of the office. He had not entered his car when he saw the clerk kneeling and begging but no one answered her and he knew immediately that she had been fired!

 

   So was the power of money!

   He entered his car and smiled to himself. " This life..." He wasn't able to complete his words when his phone rang and he answered it. " Hey, man!" He greeted cheerfully. He was quiet for a while as his face gradually changed " Classmate party? High school classmate party? I do not want to go but he said Lucas will be around too." He mumbled to himself and let out a deep breathe as he dropped his phone. 

   Lucas was his bestfriend in high school and it had been a while since they last met. This was a great opportunity for them to meet again and he did not want to miss it. After thinking for a while, Griffin decided to visit a place first. 

   " I should get that first"

   He drove down to a dealer shop that wasn't far away from the bank and he parked in front of the big garage before striding in. 

 " Hi!" He greeted smilingly but his eyes soon captured one of his high school female friend and saluted her but the girl sized him up and made an annoying face!
