Levi walked through a small crowd who stood amazed at what had happened. Everyone knew who Roberto was. Everyone knew that he was not the type of person one messess with but Levi had the audacity to talk to him in a very condescending manner. Everyone was eager to know who he truly was. "Who exactly is this guy?" Most of them asked, eager to make acquittance with the one person that could talk down to Roberto and he didn't move to do anything. "I know right. I also want to know who he is. I mean, for him to talk to a whole Roberto in that manner, then he must be someone very influential and very, very rich and dangerous." "But how come we have never heard of him. If he is all these, then we should have seen or heard about him at some point." The audience was in disarray. Everyone wanted to know more about Levi Strauss but no one did. They all couldn't still believe that he was the one talking. "So who the actual hell is this man?" They all asked."I know who he is." Finally someo
"Levi?" Davina called out, dumbfounded to see him. McCall did not give her any time to soak in what she saw, he held her hand and dragged her to the bar. "Levi, what are you doing here?" She asked again. Levi saw the look in her eyes and knew that she was having a difficult time accepting who he was. He wasn't deaf, he could hear the gossip that went about. He knew that almost everyone knew who he truly was."Well, I believe I am here because of the auction. You look beautiful by the way," he commented. "Thank you. Wait, are you telling me that it's true?""I'm afraid I don't know what you are talking about." "Well, everyone is saying that you are the president of Cosair Real Estate. Is that true?" "Yes. That's true." "Oh God," McCall gasped. "It's such a pleasure to meet you sir. I have looked forward to this day for ages," he took hold of Levi's hand and shaked rigoursly. "Wait a minute, how could you be the president? Last time I checked, you don't even have a car? How then
"We are done with jewelries. Now it's time we started bidding for lands. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a beautiful collection of land in amazing location today. We will start the first one with this land at the government road. Few years ago, it was rumoured that natural resources were gotten from this land and most people believe it till date.""Five hundred thousand dollars." "Do we have another price?" "One million dollars.""Five million dollars," Roberto said from the back and Levi smiled. "And so it begins." He said under his breath. "Ten million dollars!" Levi said and the crowd gasped. "Fifteen million dollars!" Roberto said. Levi couldn't help but notice the pattern he was trying to follow. He couldn't fully get how much the man came with but he knew the range to which he had. "Twenty million dollars," a man from the crowd said. Levi turned to look at who was speaking and he noticed a grey haired man staring back at him with so much contempt. He could tell that the man
The smile on Levi's face was evident. He couldn't believe that his devious plan actually worked. He was expecting Roberto to have caught up with his twisted plan by then. But the fool had played right into his trick and all he had to do now was sit back and win the next land without any stress. Life couldn't get better!Roberto couldn't stop sneering in Levi's direction. The boy was small but he had a cunny mind. He hadn't met an opposition like him before. He wasn't afraid to play dirty. "We can take solace in the fact that we have one land, at least," his assistant said, trying to make lemons from lemonade. "We are not taking solace in such disgusting fact. I came here to win and embarrass that boy and I will do just that." "How do you plan on doing that? We don't have enough money to go up against him and I am sure he still has tons packed in his account for this. How will you possibly win?" His assistant stroke a very good question. Roberto stared at the back hair of Levi thi
Levi almost gasped when he heard the amount being placed on the land. He turned to look at the moderator and he saw a smile on his face. He knew that the land was less expensive than they were bidding but his excessive need to win did not allow him to stop bidding with Roberto. He kept the battle up, desperate to be declared the winner after everything. "Five hundred million dollars!" Levi said. "Finally, we are getting started!" Roberto said, sounding very cocky. His statement brought a wave of fear to Levi. The man was just getting started. Maybe he was more deceptive than Levi has thought him out to be. "Six hundred million dollars!" Levi said and his face twisted. Roberto was more than pleased to see the look of worry plastered all over his face. It could only mean that he was getting ready to exhaust all his money. He was confident that Levi would not stop till he won. After all, his ego would never allow him to lose twice in a row. "What exactly am I doing?" Levi said to
Levi could not clearly see the man because his eyes were fixated at the pictures of the land as they were being showed. But Steven who scanned the room, could see the man clearly. He had on a white suit and his eyes widen when he saw the huge interest Levi had on the land. "I think you might have some competition over there," Steven said and drew Levi's attention to the man. "What are you talking...?" Levi said as he turned and his words got stuck in his throat when he saw the man that Steven was pointing at. "That's an odd looking man right there," he said. "Uh huh. And the smile on his face is more creepy," Steven added. "Well, I'm sure we don't have anything to worry about. After all, he may just be interested because of the size of the land." "Don't be delusional. Everyone knows the truth about this land, no one will be interested in it. He is only interested because you are. You have made a name for yourself here." "I don't want to believe that. Look, just allow me to do
"What?" Nothing made Levi happier than seeing the look of shock on Roberto's face. He did not believe what he had just heard."That's a big fat lie. There is no way that land has been issued to the public by the government," he resorted. "Oh is that so?" Levi said and brought out the document. After scanning through the document, Roberto got more angry. The angrier he got, the more excited Levi became. "This is fake. This document is fake. You did this by yourself." No one listened to him anymore. Everyone was shocked shocked and amazed at Levi's intelligence. He did more research than they did."Wow, this is amazing. You are really smart and good at what you do," they said.But Levi wasn't completely fooled. He knew that not everyone in the room liked him. After all, not everyone liked a smarty pants but he couldn't care less what they thought. He watched them as they discussed amongst themselves, shocked at the young boys behavior. The amount of attention and accolades that Le
Gilead came out from the bathroom, a white towel tied around his waist and a small white one hanging from his neck. He was busy whistling his favorite tune, Canon De Major. He kept whistling as he rubbed his body with lotion and got dressed for his evening stroll. His doctor had told him that he had to do everything he could to keep his heart beating properly. Gilead knew he was getting old but he didn't blame his heart condition on that. He blamed it on the fact that he had spent his entire life building a multi million dollars company. But whenever he sits down and thinks about what he earned from it, he couldn't help but be grateful. His eyes lit up as he heard the door ringing. He smiled because he could tell that report was coming his way. "Hello sir," Stephanie walked in."Yes, Stephanie. How are you?" "I'm very well sir, how are you?" "About to go for my evening stroll. Is everything alright?" "Actually yes. But you have a guest downstairs and he says it's urgent." "Al
