Meanwhile...After Caleb departed from The Royal Palm Restaurant, he remained oblivious to the unfolding events. He had no inclination to find out; he trusted Mr. Holland to handle the situation adeptly.Standing outside a tall building, Caleb couldn't help but smile at the thought of Sophia. Marrying a woman of such unparalleled beauty was beyond his wildest expectations. However, the irony was evident to him. Despite her outward charm, she held reservations towards him. The restroom incident and Amanda's false accusations of inappropriate touches during his fall likely lingered in her mind, unfairly casting him as a pervert in her eyes."I wish our initial encounter hadn't left her with the wrong impression," he sighed, but a faint smile tugged at his lips."Anyway i still consider myself fortunate; I never expected my fiancée to be so breathtaking. I just wish there hadn't been a misunderstanding," Caleb sighed softly.Deep down, he harbored the hope that, with time, Sophia would
And what proof do you have that I can't afford to buy a house?" he challenged.The attractive manager regarded him as he posed the question, unable to resist rolling her eyes. She looked him up and down with a sneer, and some employees chuckled, finding his question amusing."Are you seriously asking this absurd question?" remarked the sneering manager.Caleb nodded, maintaining a serious expression. "Yes, I am asking, and I want an answer!""Alright, I'll entertain your questions just for amusement. Do you have any idea about the cost of these houses?" she asked with a smirk.Caleb looked at the woman and slowly shook his head "No, I don't have any idea.""You questioned how I knew you couldn't afford any of the houses. Allow me to enlighten you. The most affordable house for sale here is priced at over 2 million dollars," she stated, staring Caleb with a small smirk."2 million dollars," she repeated, emphasizing the figure with two raised fingers. "Now, can you honestly say you
Sophia returned to what she couldn't quite call home and headed straight to her brother Charlie's room. Pushing the door open, she found him engrossed in a book on his bed."Hey, Charlie...""Soph..." He beamed and swiftly got off the bed, rushing towards her for a tight embrace."You were gone for so long; I thought you had left me..." His eyes teared up.Sophia hugged him once more."I promised I'd never leave you, and I never break a promise to you, okay?" She reassured him, cupping his face in her hands with a warm smile.Charlie smiled back and nodded."Where did you go? I was looking for you." Charlie inquired, settling back against the headboard, holding a closed book in his lap."I had somewhere I needed to go, sorry it just took longer than I expected..."Charlie simply nodded, his gaze fixed on the book in his hands."Charlie...""Ummm...."Sophia observed her brother, sensing an underlying issue. She took a seat on the bed, her fingers lightly brushing the soft fabric of th
BACK AT THE SHOWROOM Miss Roberts, obedient to Mr. Williams' command, led the way to an office where various villa models were on display. The models were intricately crafted, each showcasing unique architectural features and design elements. Caleb followed behind, taking in the details.Shortly after, Mr. Williams joined them, offering a warm smile to Caleb."These are our exquisite villa models. Take your time exploring, and I'll leave you in the capable hands of Miss Roberts," he said, knowing the likelihood of Caleb making a purchase was slim. With that, Mr. Williams departed, leaving Caleb and Miss Roberts amidst the finely presented architectural representations.Angela quietly entered the office, standing near the door with a visible air of nervousness. Her eyes betrayed a sense of helplessness, aware that Miss Roberts was seething with anger. The blame for bringing Caleb into the building rested on Angela's shoulders, and she couldn't shake the anticipation of facing the c
"You want to buy a villa, like right now?" Hearing this, the manager looked at Caleb before she burst into laughter.The staff that had been lingering in the background, listening to the conversation, followed suit and started laughing too, as if Caleb had just cracked the funniest joke ever.Angela looked at everyone laughing and began to feel conscious "Sir, leave it. I'm fine let's just get out of here. Ill find another job, its no big deal"Although she was touched by his support she knew that there was no way he could be able to afford a villa for that amount of money. 6.5 million was no small amount.She thought he was just bluffing to show Miss Roberts her place. Caleb ignored her plea to leave and looked around at everyone "Are you all done laughing?" Caleb's dangerous tone cut through the room, instantly silencing everyone.The staff, once chuckling, now shifted uncomfortably as they faced the sudden change in atmosphere.Despite Angela's plea to move on, Caleb disregarded
*BEEP*TRANSACTION SUCCESSFULThe room fell into silence as onlookers stood in astonishment. A young man, dressed shabbily, had not only smoothly handled a payment of 6.5 million dollars.Slowly whispers emerged like a soft ripple through the crowd, each person grappling with the incomprehensible sight before them."I can't believe it what I'm seeing!""I never expected this...""Did you see that?""Who is he, really?""Its like a scene from a movie...""Looking at him who would have thought he had so much money...."After a few moments, the murmurs subsided, and silence engulfed the room once more. Onlookers weren't just stunned; they were in awe of Caleb's actions.Since entering the showroom, Caleb had scarcely uttered a word. Despite enduring humiliation and insults, he maintained his composure. Simply inquiring about the cost of the villa for sale, he proceeded to pay the full price with his card without delving into any additional details.Most clients would typically inquire
The drama in the showroom kept getting more intense, each moment bringing surprising twists.The room fell into silence as onlookers stood in shock. The fact that a young man, dressed shabbily, had not only smoothly handled a payment of 6.5 million dollars but was now gifting an expensive present to a girl he had just met.They attempted to grasp the true nature of the kind of man Caleb was.In the past, when wealthy clients visited the showroom, the staff easily recognized they were wealthy by the lavish clothing and high-end cars they flaunted. The women consistently showcased designer outfits, paired with matching bags and shoes, creating an unmistakable air of prosperity. Caleb's initially shabby appearance stood in stark contrast to this, making it even more surprising when he revealed he had a lot of money.No one, just moments ago, could have guessed that a man like Caleb, who had entered the showroom dressed in worn-out clothes, would turn out to be the potential owner of su
Angela felt her insides tying in knots, and her hands trembled with the adrenaline coursing through her veins. It all seemed surreal.Glancing down at the pen, she noticed her hand shaking slightly. With a faint smile, Angela turned to Caleb, seeking reassurance."Are you certain about giving the villa to me?" she asked, seeking confirmation.Caleb nodded affirmatively, saying, "Yes!"With newfound confidence, Angela leaned over the desk and signed the contract without further hesitation.The staff members observed with envy and disbelief as Angela confidently signed on the dotted line. She transformed from an ordinary girl to a millionaire in a matter of seconds, a stroke of fortune that left them all in awe.Miss Roberts, in particular, couldn't hide her bitterness. She clenched her fists at her sides, a sneer distorting her face. The room echoed with silent regrets as she realized the missed opportunity. If only she hadn't been so foolish, rude, and devoid of any humanity in dea
