The Rise Of The Billionaire Heir

chapter 7 : Too late to cry when the head is off

Have you ever been in a situation where everyone looks down on you and no one believes you, a situation where by you then tried to redeem yourself by showing to those people looking down on you that you are capable, but right when you are about to prove yourself another obstacle comes to joepadoze your chances. This was the exact of situation Mason was in.

Allthough even with the fact that his phone had switched off due to lack of power, mason still stood tall without fear in his eyes.

As he stood there , he was already been bombarded by negative comments from the people around, he was used to this kind of treatments, he got alot of this on a daily so he wouldn't let this get to him, instead he would look for a possible way of revivng his phone so he could make the payment and get out of here.

Time passed and everyone was beginning to get pissed, expecially the sales boys and girls and even the cashier behind the counter, right now they were thinking that this had been Mason's plans all along, a strategy he had created so as not to pay for the clothing's he had bought.

At this point the insults and side talks got intense that Mason got tired of the situation, whenever he tried to speak or explain himself, their voices got even higher that it began to attract passerbys from outside the boutique.

Since he was not given a chance to speak, mason began thinking of a way out of the situation, his brain began processing a possible way out of this.

He was being put into a tight corner, and what he needed right now was to get out of it.

Of course he wasn't planning on returning the clothes back to the shelves as he knew if he did, they would even laugh at him more and also insult him for wasting their time, not like he really cared, he was used to it already.

As the commotion went on, with mockery and insults been spewed on the poor Mason, a feminine voice roar louder and some how this voice had managed to breakthrough the voices of the people.

And as it did, their voices gradually began to dwindle, and all eyes were now focused on the owner of the voice.

"I have a suggestion " the female voice said as she gracefully approached Mason.

Turning to look at this female, Mason could tell that this female had been quiet all along, she had not taken part in the scandal. Even when the whispers were going on at the early stage he had noticed that this particular person had just been standing by a corner alone.

She had long jet black hair, Rosy red lips could with a part of blue eyes. Noticing the uniform clinging tightly to her body, he could tell that she was a sales person here in the boutique.

" What suggestion do you possibly have? " The cashier said looking at the girl with a questioned look.

Looking at mason briefly before turning to look back at the cashier the sales girl spoke.

" Before jugding him, Why not allow him charge his phone here, so he can transfer the money, atleast let's give him a chance , you never can tell, he might have the money to pay." The girl said, exchanging glances between Mason and the cashier.

After she said that, the whole place went silent, and most of them could be seen nodding their heads in agreement.

Most of them were nodding because atleast they would find out if this bread delivery guy would really be able to pay or not, while others were nodding because they have already concluded that Mason won't be able to pay for the clothings and this would only bring a further reason to embarrass and humiliate him, which they really couldn't wait to do.

After pausing for a while the cashier looked at mason and then at the salesgirl who was now standing by his side, before she finally nodded in agreement.

" Fine, take his phone and do the needful" the cashier said to the girl.

The sales girl quickly turned around and Mason hastily placed his cell phone in her hands, then he watched as she walked to a nearby switch.

While waiting for the phone to charge, Mason looked at the salesgirl who had helped him, he could see she was also staring at him.

" Thank you " Mason whispered to her as she smiled and nodded in return.

He had whispered to her that he was sure no one had heard him except her.

While the phone was charging, the people had all gone back to what they were doing, those selecting wears were doing just that, while the sales girls and boys were busy attending to customers, welcoming them and also directing them on the selection of their clothings.

After a while of charging, Mason's phone had clearly been powered although not fully powered, it would still be enough for him to carry out the transaction.

As the sales girl brought the phone over to Mason,the people began leaving what they were doing and gathering up at the scene once again, ready to see what was about to happen, whether Mason would be able to pay or not, of course they knew the latter was most likely to be the case.

With all the process going on, somehow the sales girl who had helped Mason, was seen murmuring some words to herself, it was not just ordinary words as she was trying to keep a positive mind, wishing that Mason would be able to sort out his bills, and it looked like her wishes came true.

The cashier's eyes widened as she couldn't believe the digits displaying on her system. Of course Mason had just made the payment.

As soon as Mason made the payment, the whole place went silent, shock and embarrassment was the only expression on the faces of the people around except one.

Smiles could be seen on the face of the sales girl who had helped Mason, she smiled as her wishes actually came true, she had believed all along that Mason had only been treated rudely because of his appearance and she was the kind that didn't judge a book by its cover, that was why she had suggested that Mason be given a chance to charge his phone and she was glad she did.

The clothings Mason had bought where no small clothes, had purchased quality clothings and he had bought them in quantity.

It felt unbelievable to everyone that Mason who they thought was a mere delivery guy was able to pay such a huge amount of money. An amount which some of them wouldn't be able to afford. It was a big blow to them that the whole place was silent and at that moment if a pin was to drop it would create a loud noise.

Seeing the shocked and embarrassed looks on their faces,Mason didn't say a word, he gently turned to the sales girl who had helped him earlier, Mason himself subconsciously smiled as he saw that her face was also filled with smiles, this only confirmed that she had been on Mason's side all along.

" I will like you to imput your account details here " mason said to the girl as he handed his phone to her.

As confused as she was, she collected Mason's phone and gently began to punch in her account number, after she was done she handed the phone back to Mason. Mason could see the confusion on her face, but then he just smiled giving her an impression that everything was ok.

In a matter of a few seconds, the sales girl's phone vibrated, and she hesitantly took it out of her uniform pocket, she unlocked it and as she stared at the screen she almost dropped the phone in shock, her jaw dropped as she couldn't believe what was displaying on her screen.

" 10,000 dollars!!! " She screamed as her eye widened in shock.

The people around including the cashier couldn't believe it, this man who they had all looked down on, a man whom they had insulted had just sent a whopping sum of 10,000 dollars to a sales girl. It was at that moment they began to regret their actions, they began to feel bad for the way they had treated Mason. If they had known better, they would have been kind to him.

But of course as the saying may go, ' it is too late to cry when the head is off '.

" Thank you so much sir, thank you so much I really appreciate this sir, thank you sir " the sales girl repeated, she thanked Mason falling to her knees as she thanked him continuously.

" It's ok, you can stop thanking me now, you were kind to me , even without knowing who i was , people like you are rare to find these days, it was only right for me to reward you " Mason said as he helped her back up to her feet.

The sales girl then collected the clothings Mason bought and then neatly arranged them in the regular fancy nylon giving to customers after purchase, she gathered them all and put them in another big nylon making it easier for Mason to carry. Before handing it over to him.

Staring at the people around one more time, Mason turned around and without listening to whatever they had to say, he walked out of the boutique in large strides, leaving everyone at the scene stunned and dumbfounded.
