Levi nodded.
The time has come for his revenge to begin.
He knew he would make it.
But didn't expect it to be so soon...
The next day.
In front of the branch company of Corsair Real Estate.
"Why in the world are we standing out here? I have work to do," a young lady complained.
"We all have work to do, and you don't see the rest of us complaining, do you?" A coworker replied to her.
"Well, maybe it's because your work is not as important as mine is."
"Can someone just tell me what we are doing here?"
The coworker kept quiet. She too wanted to know why she was brought out of her office so early in the morning. But she was more interested to know why the general manager, vice general manager, and five departmental managers were standing outside with them.
"We are here to welcome the newly elected president," Ella said with pride laced in her voice.
"And now do you know that?" The lady asked.
"Because the media manager told me," she said confidently.
"Who, Mr. Dustin?"
Ella turned to see the sneer on the girl's face, and she was excited. Everyone wanted Dustin because he was damn gorgeous, and now, he was all hers.
"Yes, he did."
"If you know so much, tell us. Who is the new president?"
Ella understood precisely what they were trying to do, and it was about time she marked her territory in that office.
"Well, according to my lover, the new president is a relative of Mr. Gilead, and he is very competent at what he does."
"And I bet you wouldn't hesitate to warm his bed to get promoted to a new position." There was no remorse in the young lady's face after she finished talking.
Ella moved to strike her, but before she could lay a finger on the lady, her hand was held back.
"Ella." It was Dustin.
"What?!"
"Look!"
Ella followed Dustin's pointed finger and saw Levi coming into the office.
"What the hell is he doing here?!" Ella asked as she moved angrily towards him.
"Look, if you are here to beg for her back, trust me that it is pointless. She doesn't want you." Dustin said scornfully.
"You guys really think the world revolves around you, don't you?" Levi snorted.
"Well, it doesn't revolve around you either, so get the hell out of here! Don't wait for me to call the security!"
"You are not the boss to tell me what to do," Levi said coldly, folded his arms.
"I am the manager here. And you,you're a nobody. Face it,loser!" Dustin snickered.
"On the contrary, I am somebody." Levi answered with a smirk on his face.
"And who the hell are you?"
"If you must know, I'm the person you're all waiting for."
As soon as Levi finished his sentence,an intense laughter that resonated with the entire room and even made people look at them.
"Oh, come on Levi, it's too early to be spitting out such expensive jokes," Ella said,almost laughing into tears.
"Now, if you are done, please get out. We have more important things to do, like welcoming the new president of a company that you will never even work as a cleaner for," Dustin added.
As he turned around,a luxurious car stopped in front of the gate.
"Oh, Mr. Josh," Dustin said, happy to see Mr. Gilead's secretary coming out of it
"Welcome,Mr. Josh," he turned to him immediately.
But Josh just glanced at him,kept mute.
"Mr. Josh, we are so happy to see you. We have been waiting for a long time now." The general manager said respectfully.
"Please tell us when the next president will get here."
"Yes, sir. Please tell us when he is getting here. We are eager to meet him." A staff member added.
Josh ignored the murmurs that filled the room and walked down to where Levi was standing. He took a bow and said, "Master, I'm sorry for being late."
Levi could see the confused looks on everyone's faces, and he didn't blame them. He, too was confused when his uncle first broke the news to him. "What did you just call him?" The general manager asked with a sneer on his perfectly manicured face which didn't surprise Levi. "I called him master." The secretary said again. "And why in the world would you call him that?!" He retorted. "Where is Mr. Gilead? Tell him that we need his attention right now!" "Unfortunately, Mr. Smith, my boss, will not be around for a long time. He has handed over the company to Mr. Levi over here." "What?!" The man bellowed. "This no good piece of shit gets the company. After all my hard work and dedication, he finally gives it to this no-good idiot!" All Levi could do was to raise an eyebrow."What does he even know about the company?!" "I would watch the way I speak to him if I were you!" The secretary spoke up. "He is the one in charge now!" Mr. Smith looked like a bucket of ice-cold water was p
"What? You can't do that to me!" "Josh, please call security to throw these rascals out of my company." Levi walked away after his statement, but he didn't go far before the vice general manager stopped him."Good morning, sir." The humility of his voice made Levi stop and turn. He remembered the man as the one his uncle told him had good values. "Don't be scared, sir. From today on, you will be the new general manager. My uncle wanted me to thank you for being loyal and true to the company. He said that your good deeds had not gone unnoticed," Levi said with a smile on his face"Oh my! Thank you so much sir!" The man said and almost hugged Levi out of excitement. "This promotion means so much to me and my family. Thank you very much sir!" He added joyfully.Levi smiled, patted his back and walked away with happiness in his heart. ***The afternoon's heat was one of the things that made Levi despise leaving his company, but he had to go back to school. Upon arrival, he headed st
The president looked at Levi,smiling.Levi smiled with contentment."Thank you sir. I knew I could trust you to do the right thing." "Of course and please next time, don't hesitate to come to me if you have any problems." "Oh trust me, sir. I won't." Levi smiled, took a bow and left the president's office with happiness in his heart. He walked slowly back into the classroom and took his seat in the middle of the classroom. "Hey Levi, I can't believe you are here. Didn't Mr. Robin give you a punishment?" Jake asked as he brushed his dirty blonde hair out of his chiseled face so that he could see clearly with his blue eyes. He was Levi's best friend in school, always the concerned one. "Yes, I saw him talking to you after the end of the last class and you left very angry. What punishment did he give to you?" Claire asked. Levi looked at her and he still couldn't understand why she would decide to have red hair, especially since her dark brown eyes and her skin tone didn't go with i
"You throw me out?! Really, Levi I..."Before he could complete his sentence, the president's personal assistant came into the classroom. "Mr. Robin," he called out. "What is it?!" Mr. Robin screamed. "The president asked me to come tell you to evacuate the premises." "What?!" He asked and turned to look at him. "What the hell do you mean by that?" "The president fired you this afternoon and he asked me to come and throw you out of the school." "What?!" Mr. Robin asked, shocked. "I will go nowhere! I have worked in this school for years, you cannot kick me out like that." He kept screaming."Security, please come in and take this rascal out of here," the personal assistant said and Mr. Robin was dragged out of the premises. Levi looked at the scene with so much satisfaction. He turned to the class and the look of shock on their faces gave words to what they struggled to say. "Did Levi Strauss really get Mr. Robin fired from his job?" "What just happened?!" Levi's course mat
By this time, Levi was livid and he had gotten fed up with everything that Ethan was doing. "You know what Ethan, you have some nerves to talk to my friend in that manner?! Have you no respect at all?""You know Levi, if I were you, I would shut the hell up." Ethan sneered at him. Levi dug into his pocket, removed $5,000 and threw it at Ethan's face. Ethan looked at the money that fell to the ground and back to Levi's face. "What happened now?! Cat caught your town you little brat?!" Levi shouted. "I'm just wondering when you became a thief. I am also perplexed about who would be dumb enough to allow you to steal from them?" "That's enough!" A tiny voice screamed. It belongs to Brittany, the most beautiful girl in the class. "Ethan, we have all stood here and watched you humiliate everyone here and that's enough. I think you need to apologize to them." "Really?" Ethan's eyes widened in disbelief. "And who is going to make me?! You this Barbie doll?!"Brittany gasped. "Oh were
"Don't you think this place is too expensive? I mean, just look at the surroundings. It's...""It's exactly the kind of place we should be dining in. Can you please stop worrying?" Levi added and watched as Jake gave out a sigh. "Waiter," Levi beckoned on one of the staff. "Good evening sir." "Good evening, fine man. We are ready to order." "Okay, here is the menu," he said and handed the menu over to Levi. Levi took a glance at it and said, "I will get the Tomato Bruschetta on your starter pack. And my friend will get Caesar Salad. After the starter pack, I will have Grilled Salmon with Dill Sauce and please, can that come with a piece of lime?" He paused to ask the waiter. "Yes sir. I can tell the chef to include that.""Alright, that will be perfect. So I will get the Grilled Salmon for the main course of the meal and my friend will have Roast Beef with Vegetables. And for desserts, just bring us your Lemon Meringue Pie. Please bring a nice bottle of white wine. You look like
"I asked a question. Who are you and what do you want from us?" Still no one responded. "Who are you people working for?!" He asked again and still, no one responded. "I said...?" Before he could finish talking, one of the men, blessed with dirty blonde hair, slapped him across the face with the back of his gun. "Shut the fuck up!" He screamed and watched with no remorse as Levi coughed out blood. "Look," Levi spoke as his face was on the ground. "Whatever you are being paid, I will double it. Just tell me who your employer is."Again, he got no reply but the blonde haired man went back to his seat and Levi managed to get back to a sitting position. "Okay, I'll triple it," he said and saw as a man with dark black hair looked at him with interest in his eyes. He immediately knew that he had to ride on that. "Quadruple." "Are you serious about that?" The man asked. "Of course I am. Just tell me who your employer is and I will do the transfer.""We are being paid in dollars, yo
"It's not a blind date. I have seen her before and she is just lovely." "Is she?" Levi asked. To be honest,he’s not interested in dating a new girl now,but he didn’t want to disappoint his friend either,so he just nodded. "Okay. I will join you later," As they walked past, a few students gathered together, discussing something excitedly. "I heard that a mysterious student donated a huge amount of money to the school." "Really? How much?" The other student asked shocked "I heard it was about two million dollars." "Holy! That is a lot of money! I wonder who it could be?" “Hell,Levi. You heard that? Two million?! Why’s there no one who’d like to donate some money to me?” Jake widened his eyes and sighed,shaking his head.Levi smiled as he walked past them. He wondered what they’d say if they found he was that mysterious guy.***The evening breeze proved that it was a cold night. The type of night that he loved."Shit!" Levi exclaimed when he looked at the time. It was eight o'cl
