Levi stood at the balcony of his new apartment and overlooked the city. He's in a good mood and decided to invite Jake for dinner to share his joy.The answer was a yes without any hesitation. "Should I come pick you up?" He smiled"Yep. I don't have the strength to use a public transport system when I have a millionaire as a best friend.". Levi laughed and ended the call. It didn't take long before he was at Jake's door. Jake came out wearing blue jeans and a white polo that showed his muscular body and they drove off to the restaurant. "I think I want to start with something light," Levi said as he went through the menu. "I'll just get whatever it is you're getting." "You know, you will have to start learning how to order meals," Levi said as he was going through the menu. "Yeah, I will learn that later." Levi ordered their food and it didn't take long for the waiters to bring it to them. "Okay, come on. Spill it," Levi said as he was halfway through his meal. "What
"Excuse me ma'am," the waiter drew the woman's attention. "Yes," she responded. "Did you really say that you will pay for this young man's bill? It's a lot of ma," he tried to warn her. The woman turned fully towards the waiter to look at him. "Take a good look at me, young man. Do I look like a woman who cannot afford this bill?" "No ma'am, you don't," the waiter said fearfully. "How much is it?" She asked "It's $2,000 ma'am." The woman brought out her phone and Levi watched in amazement as she quickly transferred the money with the bill for hers to the restaurant. "Have you gotten it now?" She asked the waiter. She did not care much for him and it showed on her face. She could tell that he doubted if she would be able to pay for the bill because she was a lady and it made her so angry. "Yes ma'am, I have." "Okay, you can leave now," she said and watched happily as the waiter walked away with his head held low and then she turned to face Levi. "Thank you so much
"Watch where you are going old man!" While walking around with his nose up in the air, Richard bumped into a man and his documents fell to the ground. He immediately shouted at him. "Oh it's even you!" Richard added. "You know, you shouldn't be here. This is not a place for people like you. Your company will never amount to anything, so if I were you, I would just leave and never come back." "And who do you think you are to talk to my father like that?!" A young man said. It was Ivy. "And why won't I talk to him like that? Oh, do you really think that he is worthy of being here? Your company is pointless and you can never be among the likes of us. So just leave." "It is your own company that has no worth..." Ivy was about to fire him back with words when the father held her back. "Ivy, come on. This one isn't worth our time. Let's go," the father said and dragged her away. "Yeah, you better leave and don't come back. Stupid people!" He exclaimed. "Dad, do you know them?
Richard looked at his son with pride. He couldn't believe that he raised such a strategic and fierce young man. "You know what son? I say, let's go for it. What's the worst that could possibly happen? At the end of the day, we may even get the contract." "Exactly. All we need to do is keep our head low and wait for him to come down. I'm sure he is going to give a speech. Then after the speech, we can reach out to him and try again. Trust me dad, that proposal is too good to be ignored by him. We will surely get that contract today." "I know, son. Here, let's get some drinks to celebrate our victory," Richard said and together with his son, they went to go get drinks. Unknown to them that Steven still had his eyes on them. His eyes only left when he heard his phone buzzing. Picking it up, he realized that it was Levi. He picked immediately. "Come to my room," was all Levi said before ending the call. "Steven," Levi called out once the young man entered his room. "Yes sir." "
Levi stepped back into the hotel with anger brewing in his eyes. His friend was maltreated because of him. He knew what it felt like to be maltreated and he never wanted any of his friends to go through that but Jake had just endured that cross and it was all his fault. "Levi, you need to calm down," Jake said when he noticed how angry Levi was. "I just hate the fact that you had to go through this." "I know." "Let's get you cleaned up," Levi said and they headed to his room. Mr. Steven saw the anger in Levi's eyes and he shivered. Turning to the guards, he yelled, "You! Blondie," he said and walked closer to the man. "I want you to pack your bags and get out of this place. You are fired. If I come back outside to see you here, trust me, I will ensure that no company ever hires you again. Now get lost!" He shouted and went back inside. His actions did not stop him from shivering. Levi was not in a good mood and he knew it. It would be disastrous if he did anything that woul
"If I may ask, what is the name of your company?" Levi asked, curious to know more. "It's Landmark Realty Group," Ivy answered. "Landmark..." Levi's hand found his chin as he paced around, thinking. "I don't think I have ever heard of a company like yours," Levi said and continued thinking of when he could have said no to their company. "Well we are a new company in the market and that is why we are trying to get this contract with Corsair Real Estate. It will go a long way in helping our company to scale up." Levi saw reason with them and he smiled. "Maybe I can help you out," he said softly, causing David to burst out in laughter. "That is very nice of you young man but I don't think you can help us here. We need the president to sign this document." "I understand, what I am saying is..." Levi did not have a chance to complete his sentence because he was rudely interrupted by a dark haired man in a navy three piece suit. He looked like trouble, smelt like trouble and s
How could it be him?!" The drink that Ethan held fell to the ground. He couldn't believe his eyes. Susan gasped as she saw Levi mount the stage. Her mouth could not close as shivers ran down her spine. "What? Do you know the new president?", His father looked at her weirdly." The new president is your friend?" He asked with joy."Uhh,I..."Susan mumbled. She didn't know how to tell her father that the thing was just on the contrary of what he thought...Ivy stood up as she saw Levi mounting the stage. "Father..." She turned to David,who's also looking at the stage with his eyes wide open. That young man is the new president! That means their company would survive!His hands were shaking uncontrollably,with tears in his eyes. And Carlos, as he looked in astonishment as the young man took his seat,the first thing he wanted to do was running away at once. Never in his wildest dreams could he believe that the poor boy he saw could be a big shot.He's screwed... "If you can all ha
"Susan, look at him. Now!" Her father all but commanded. Maybe if he knew what Susan did it would help her to better understand why her daughter was behaving in such a way but he had no idea about the terrible things she said to Levi at the bar and he couldn't relate to why she was so embarrassed. When her father realized that it was a fruitless battle, he turned to Levi and said, "I am so sorry about this. I wanted you to meet her..." "Why?" Levi interrupted. "Is she beautiful?" "She is gorgeous!" Her father said without hesitating. "Well then I want to see her. Raise your face young lady," he spoke. "Come on now Susan, Mr. Strauss wants to see your face." Susan's heart was overjoyed. Maybe she hadn't totally ruined her chances with him. Maybe she still stood a chance to make him hers. With a soft blush on her face and a cute smile, she raised her face to look at him. Levi sighed when he looked at her. "Huh, I am disappointed in you, sir. You told me she was gorgeous but f
