10. The Black Card

Chapter Ten

“The car is not a major problem for now.I will look into it when I am done with what is in front of me, there is something important I need you to do for me if you don’t mind Miss Kim” said Xander to his secretary

“I’m all ears young master Kings” she said ,her iPads in hand ready to pen down her young masters orders.

“Call me Xander please “ he insisted because he was not used to people calling him a young master,it sounded foreign to his ears.

“I can’t call you by your name young master Kings, that will sound very disrespectful and I don’t think that-the grandmaster Kings will tolerate that kind of behavior” said secretary Kim

“Never mind, please contact the number and email on this business card. I just bought Royal Castle and I need you to handle the paperwork for me and I don’t want any mistakes to happen, call me if you need any form of clarification and make sure the ownership documents are legal and authentic “instructed Xander in a serious business man tone.

“Alright young master,what about the bodyguards ??grandmaster Kings said that security should be assigned to you because he doesn’t want anything to happen to you “Asked Miss Kim

“It’s going to be so awkward for them to be following me around all of a sudden, everything is so new to me and I am still adapting to this new identity of mine”complained Xander to Miss Kim who seems to always have a solution for a situation.

“It’s alright, they don’t have to follow you toe to toe when they can do their job from afar off ,they just need to be vigilant and attentive“ suggested Miss Kim and the idea was okay by Xander.

“Thank you Miss Kim,we will take these one step at a time.Go and do what I instructed you to do,I don’t need you for the meantime” Xander dismissed Miss Kim and went into Zion's apartment to get a shower.

“You’re rich overnight and you are all of a sudden surrounded by beautiful ladies …your lifestyle is a vibe” teased Zion when he saw how beautiful Secretary Kim,she still looks pretty even in her medicated glasses.

“You guys are back?” Asked Erik looking shocked the moment we entered the living room

“Yes, you thought we were going to get arrested and you abandoned us ,that was not a cool move bro”replied Zion with an accusing voice

“What did you want me to do ? It’s not my fault that Xander was acting way above his means and class and I’m not ready to ruin my reputation and go to prison over something silly and because Of his stupid decision” said Erik,he wasn’t even looking remorseful at all and that was when Xander decided to make up his mind and remove Erik from the list of his friends, Zion is the only loyal and faithful friend he has.

“Well the jokes are all in your Erik, you can’t imagine the crazy drama that went down when you left us and oh for the records , Xander now owns the damn restaurant “ said Zion looking into Erik’s shocked face with a triumphant smile.

“You guys are just capping, that’s a lie.Royal Castle is the most expensive restaurant in this city and it will definitely cost millions of dollars.Even if Xander sells is kidneys and heart , he can’t afford that” said Erik in disbelief

“Show him the black card, young master Kings “ said Zion. but Xander looked away while running his hand through his hair , he is not used to this lifestyle and he doesn’t want to seem like he is bragging about his new identity and position.

“Hey, it’s alright Zion. Don’t bother him anymore. I need to shower and go shopping for some new clothes” said Xander dismissing the topic concerning Erik

“Make sure you look dapper, you know that the Ice Queen Anastasia is a fashion icon and her date is supposed to look hot too” said Zion as Erik kept staring at the two young men , looking all confused but he didn’t speak a word.

Erik ignored them and thought that Xander and Zion were just pranking him because he couldn’t believe the poor Xander is now a young master and already going out with the untouchable Anastasia, Erik is one of the men on campus that desire Anastasia in secret because they know that they can’t keep up to her standard.

“This must be some kind of joke” Erik muttered to himself as he went back to playing his game shaking his head in disbelief.

Xander took his time to shower , wore his only pair of clothes , picked his black card and head out to the big shopping mall which was the closest to the Princeton university , Xander took the train and it was when he paid his transport fare with his black card that he remembered that his secretary Kim asked him of his preferred choice of car.

“This is so funny, I keep forgetting that I am now rich” whispered Xander to himself as he chuckled in disbelief.

Xander Kings kept his mind busy on his way to the mall, he was thinking hard about his next business investment …what can he invest in that will yield him money and a good amount of profit ? He thought but his mind suddenly wandered to Anastasia, the beautiful goddess seemed so nice and polite towards him and he doesn’t know whether she wants him as a friend or something more. Xander knows that a lot of girls will soon start flocking around him because of his money and he needs to be careful about who he gives his heart to.

Xander entered the shopping mall, went directly to the Mens clothing session and bought a simple blue shirt and a chinos trousers with matching timberland shoes, he has never attend any Rich or Elite gathering so he wasn’t so sure on what kind of outfits to buy so he stuck to the basic to avoid being extra

“Even my grandmaster Kings was dressing casually when I met him” thought Xander when he finished picking up the clothing items and perfume he needed. Xander also bought a pen and a hardcover journal where he will be writing down all the business ideas that popped to his brain.

“Excuse me, can you please cash this for me?” Xander asked the mall attendant politely

“That will be 1200 dollars in total “ she said and Xander nodded his head and brought out his black card to give her , her hands stopped midway when she saw what was in his hands.

“Is this what I think it is ! Hope you didn’t steal someone’s card?!””She said looking so surprised as she kept looking at Xander from head to toe with a judgemental look.

“It’s mine, I will put the pin so that you will know it’s mine” said Xander feeling pissed and offended , no one has ever called him a thief and even when he was poor and at the brink of death…he never stole anything because he is a young man of integrity.

“Wait a minute, I will be right back” said the mall attendant as she went back towards the office section of the mall.

“Being a rich person can be so tiring especially when no one believes you ”whispered Xander as he patiently waits for the mall attendant to come back.

“would have gone back but I need the clothes' ' thought Xander and that’s when an idea hit his head! Clothes are essentials and so are food and some daily provisions and groceries. The items and goods might not cost a large amount of money but when a large number of people buy it, the little amount of dollars adds up to a huge amount of money.

“I’m going to buy this mall and add it to my chain of investment “ thought Xander Kings feeling really pleasant and satisfied with his decision.

“Grandfather will be so proud of me when he finds out that I have already owned two large investments which are also landed assets in my name and I am grateful for the capital and the black card which makes my business ideas financially feasible ” thought Xander Kings.

“Yes, that’s the guy I am telling you about. I don’t trust him ,no one has ever come to buy anything with a black card in this mall and it’s suspicious, look at the way he looks, check out his shabby hair for goodness sakes and his clothes are tattered!” said the mall attendant pointing towards me with some few other attendants behind her and there was one that had the tag called “Manager “.
