Gaston stood in front of the main entrance of the Hopkins Mall.Wearing blue matched suits, black necktie and shiny black leather shoes, he looked at the giant building he now owns.His eyes focused at the building and the entrance of it, and then he felt the burning sensation in his throat.‘This building is mine,’ reminding himself with these thoughts, he traversed forward the entrance of the company.Beside him, there are 10 guards walking side by side. The employees of the mall lined up to meet the new CEO of the company.When the saleslady saw the new CEO walking at the center with a confident look in his face, they were awed.He’s a total catch. Their mouths opened widely, followed by unstoppable blushing of their cheeks.Gaston has a face that will make every woman in the world show their affection for him.“Is that the Chairman’s son? He’s a total p*nty stripper,” a saleslady whispered to her friend.“Hey. Watch your mouth. Do you want to get fired?”“But still, he’s really my
Gaston studied in a prestigious school not because he was sponsored by Chairman Harold, but also because he’s intelligent. He always excelled in his academic grades. That’s why Chairman Harold wanted his youngest grandson, Jules, to follow Gaston’s steps. Because of this, Gaston became the thorn in Jules’ eyes. He became the center of the bully, thanks to Jules. The bullies hid his shoes. Put garbage in his locker or threw erasers on his head. As time passed by, things got worse. It is because Gaston didn’t fight back and he kept this a secret to the Chairman. One day, they brought Gaston to the back of the Senior building of the school. “Ugh!” Gaston winced as they pushed him on the ground. A tingling pain spread on Gaston’s palms. When he checked his hands, he saw scratches and blood from the wounds. He looked back at the three rich boys, who resembled their friend, Jules. They are the kind of people who enjoy stomping over the weak. “What are you looking at? Stand up!” Ma
The female employees of the department store in Hopkins mall were gathered in one room. “Why did we gather here?” “I don’t know. The Manager just told us to come.” “What if the CEO has complaints after visiting yesterday?” “That might be right! Is he going to fire us?” “This many? And we haven’t done anything against Hopkins mall.” “Let’s not jump into conclusion. Maybe this is just some, you know, announcement for things that the CEO wanted to do in the future. Or he’ll give us words of encouragement.” Jillian only listened to her co-workers while standing in the corner of the room. Everyone was anxious about this sudden meeting. But Jillian was excited. ‘I didn’t have the chance to check if the CEO was really the Gaston I knew. If I see him again, I think I can figure it out,’ she thought. “The CEO is here!” the manager told everyone. The employees put their hands behind their backs and stood straight. Then, a handsome man in a blue suit entered the room. All eyes follow
After standing up against the new CEO, Jillian accepted that she will be brought in the committee. But right now, she’s inside the CEO’s office, while having a cup of brewed coffee with her childhood friend. “Oh my gosh. I can’t believe that it was really you,” Jillian told Gaston. “Who would have thought that a friend of mine is the son of a multi-billionaire? And that you are the new CEO of this mall?” Chuckling, Gaston replied, “Were you happy that you were kind to me when we were young?” “Of course! Grandma is right. You should be kind to all people you meet, because the deity of goodness is watching and waiting to give you a prize.” “And this is your prize?” Gaston asked while pointing the coffee in her hands. “Having a coffee like this and keeping my job even after shouting like that are indeed my prize. But, I haven’t taken any money. So, I will make sure to remember to grab one envelope and sign too.” Gaston’s expression plummeted. He placed the cup back on the table and
The Xtreme Company released their new Xtreme 601 jeep car with overhauled technical package including a flagship 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6, a bold new exterior and a flashing high-tech interior. Everyone anticipated this new model and many lined up to buy it as soon as it was released. After attending the launching event, Sonny returned home and saw the invitation on his desk. [“Invitation for John Hopkins party.”] The sender was none other than Gaston. Seeing the invitation, Sonny laughed throatily. “You finally realized your mistakes, Gaston,” Sonny uttered. Thanks to Xtreme Company and Sonny, Protix failed to launch their new vehicle. They manipulated the venue and brought the guests and reporters out of the Protix press conference. Because of that, the Protix were forced to reschedule their launching date, or maybe, they wouldn’t be able to make it out. What will happen to Hamington Architecture Company? “I pity you, my nephew. But you shouldn’t dream big,” Sonny sai
The party was held at the mansion’s garden. The huge outdoor space was decorated with lighting string lights, Votive candles and fragrant flowers. Foods in the buffet area were also set. For the music, they hired musicians to play mellow or jazz instrumental soft music during the event, that will complement the dinner setting and that people can keep a conversation going even with background music. With everything on set, the party started. The guests of the party, who are usually busy people, took the special time to come to the party. Who won’t be interested to see the only son of the multi-billionaire and successful man, John Hopkins? As time passed by, the garden was filled with guests with different skin color, and some with different language. While the guests were waiting for the final event to start, cocktails and appetizers were served by the waiters and the staff. The high level of service made everyone feel good and cosy. Holding their drinks in a refined way, guests
Gaston checked his phone. But there was no text from someone he expected to see here. “Is he really not coming?” Chairman Harold was invited to the party. But he couldn’t attend because he had to go to New York and attend a meeting. However, there was one more person who Gaston waited for. It is his business partner, Griffti. “He’s serious when he said that he would not come,” Gaston murmured then looked back at his partner, Jillian. She looked so tired. Well, they walked around the party and met a lot of people. They all asked the same question; ‘Is she your girlfriend?’ It was tiring to deny their relationship and receive flattering words at the same time. “Are you fine?” Gaston asked Jillian. “Me? Oh sure. I am. Just a bit awkward. Attending parties like this isn’t my forte.” Gaston chuckled. “Ahhh, I saw Jurgen before somewhere. But now he’s gone,” Jillian said. Gaston narrowed his eyes to her. “You said you don’t like him?” “It’s not like that! Hey.” “Just kidding.
[“Vehicles that once seemed like the far-distant future were becoming more tangible every year. And now, the era of the hoverbike is finally at hand! The Protix company launched their Protix 100 prism hoverbike this Thursday, which shook the whole world. Protix 100 prism hoverbike is equipped with a conventional engine and four battery-powered motors and promises to fly for 40 minutes at up to 100 kph. Thhis black and red hoverbike consists of a motorcycle-like body on top of propellers. As Hopkins invested with this project, many already purchased half a million dollar vehicles, which means you’ll have to be well-heeled to join it. Recently, the Protix Company announced that it would begin deliveries of its long-anticipated flying motorcycle in the first half of 2022. No license is needed to fly the carbon-fiber craft, but it is not yet legally allowed to fly on the busy pack streets. However, the Hamington Architecture Company released a statement that the track for the hoverbike is
