Chapter 03

Xavier's - [P.O.V]

I was carrying another brick to add to the the layer which I had just started with, going back forth getting bricks, I noticed the managers eyes on me, he was staring with all seriousness.

I had no idea why he just disliked me from the get go but I really didn't care much, all I needed was the money. I had already been working for about an hour.

Suddenly I noticed everyone get on their feet and stopped to look at a man who had just arrived at the scene. But I wasn't focused on what was happening. My mind was far too dug into what I was doing.

"Young man?" I suddenly heard as I was about to add another layer of brick. I turned to answer, not sure who was being called but noticed it was another luxurious looking man, his eyes still on me.

"Yes sir." I replied.

"Come here" he said sternly.

I dropped the brick and went to him, I was sweating badly and I could feel the burn of the hot sun.

I should remember to apply sunscreen next time.

"What's your name?" The man asked rubbing his chin, staring at me with so much thoughts in his eyes.

"My name is Xavier Stage sir." I greeted and he smiled as he looks at my hands.

"I see you have a talent at this... It's incredible how you build those foundations, mixing the cement and using your skills to swiftly place the blocks like it's nothing, but you know what surprises me mosts?" He asked as I looked at him with a light blush.

"The fact that YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WORKING ON THIS SITE!!".

He was the Original Contractor of the Construction Project and it seemed like everyone forgot he was using this project as a program to find workers for bigger projects, well! My focus was on Money.

"You right there! Why is only this young man doing all the work?" He asked.

"The manager asked him to do it alone because he broke a brick sir, he saids its his punishment Sir." An obvious fan amongst the worker replied to the old man.

"Mr. Bernardino! Greetings sir!" The manager rushed in with Food on his lips to Mr. Bernardino who dashes him a slap!

"Are you insane? How can you punish a worker to work for hours while other people rests? Is this project meant for your jealousy?..Is he the only one who has broken a brick?.... isn't it normal for bricks to break at a construction site?..answer me immediately!?" Mr. Bernardino asked like a demon.

"No sir, this idiot came here late and started acting like he's some top pro to insult me, as I result I asked he continued with his skills cause I knew he will obviously be a disappointment." The manager replied.

"A disappointment? Look behind you... There is his accomplishments." Mr. Bernardino said pointing behind him and as the manager turned his eyes widened in shock and disbelief of what I built.

"Grandpa! I am sure not only this young man worked today, the other men were probably resting from a long day of work, and our manager asked him to work more since he came late." The pretty damsel standing next to her grandpa added.

I looked at her beautiful Eyes and lips, her curves and ass were as set as Ever.

She looked at me but the gaze didn't last long, she had long blonde silky and shiny hair, her lips were pick and softly shaped, they looked soft too. She was a true beauty and she obviously wasn't wearing any make up.

This grandpa had such a beautiful grand daughter and with the way she looked at me... It felt like she was already thinking what I was thinking of her as well.

Our eyes were soon to lock and I turned mine away because hers was too Charming for me to maintain eye contact with.

And why would she even like a poor Construction worker who's skills is causing the most uproar at the site.

"You will regret this." The manager whispers to me as he continued.

"Yes Mr. Bernardino, our men have been working all day, before this filth came here trying to prove himself to be some hero... Follow me... I will show you the second part we have built." The manager said.

"Well I would want to assume he is a show off because he is amazing at what he does, if so that's how he truly works..." Mr. Bernardino said as he signalled for me to follow him and his grand daughter to the second building where the manager continued to boast about the work.

"What do you think?" Mr. Bernardino asked me... Woah did he just ask me for a review... The manager is probably going to kill me on what I wish not to say but have to tell the old man.

"Sir. The building is weak, it was rushed, the windy weather can bring this down." I said and everyone turned to look at me shocked that I dared to condemn their work, hence this only made the old man fascinated as he looked at me.

"Pow!" I received a slap from the manager.

"How dare you lie to Mr. Bernardino about a successful work you know nothing about, are you mad? Or are you trying to say his old and dumb?" The manager slapped me as Mr. Bernardino walked towards the building to touch it, judging from my words.

"Sir, I wouldn't advise you do that..." I said as he touched the wall.

"Oh yes Prophet! The walls of Jericho fell down flat!" The manager sang mockingly as the rest men laughed hard pointing at me.

"I told you Mr. Bernardino, this newbie idiot knows nothing about construction, I am very sure his talented foundation is another dumb work to begin with, what do you say we do with him?" The manager asked.

"I insist! The building is weak!" I added causing the men laughing to get annoyed in return.

"What does this loser know about building?" One asked.

"Yeah what's his problem anyway?" Another asked in annoyance.

"He's probably doing this just get Mr Bernardino's attention and Favor, that's so cheap".

"Ugh.." one scoffed "what a joke" he added.

"Sir I assure you, the layout of the building is the very problem, look at the foundation, it's not sturdy." I said as I kicked the bottom of the building, and some pieces of rock fell out.

"Oh please, it's just a few rocks, what are you saying? I've been working with these men for a while and they have always been really good, how can a nobody like you just come and join and claim they did a bad work, who do you think you are" The manager was getting even angrier, it seemed he would slap me again pretty soon.

"Look at this..." The manager said to me as he kicked the building hard "You see that?" He added kicking it harder and faster.
