"Why is the manager crying on the floor?" Harry directed his question to Morris who was still stupefied. "I'm asking you Morris, what is going on here?"Morris was still lost for the right words to explain what was going on. He was still trying to comprehend things. He has just been offered the position of the manager by Arthur, his ex colleague who was sacked the previous day. How come? What really happened?Ignoring the men, Arthur repeated what he said to Morris. "You are yet to answer my question Morris. Would you like to be the new manager?"Morris nodded his head. "Yes, Sir." It felt so stupid and awkward. What if Arthur was not in his right sense? No, It's not possible. He was here and witnessed what happened even though he was still confused. He saw when Arthur made a call and Frank received another that made him fall to Arthur's feet and started pleading.It couldn't possibly be a joke.Harry, who has had enough of the drama, yelled at the men. "What is going on here?" "You
Arthur quickly made for the dressing room where he changed into his uniform. He had just been dropped off by the previous night's taxi driver. Arthur had to keep a close contact with the man whom he had just made his undercover taxi driver.Getting the man to make a promise of keeping his identity was easy. He just threw a few wads of cash to silence him after somewhat threatening to make his life difficult if he were to ever blow his cover. However, the taxi driver made a promise on his own grave to be discreet about Arthur's identity."I'd be stupid to go against you by revealing your identity to the world." The man had said. Although, the identity he meant was that Arthur was a rich man pretending to be poor. He was yet to learn how he was related to Carl Ramon, the quadrillionaire businessman."Good." Arthur had responded and they both parted ways. Why would he want to disobey the man's order after earning some undeserved amount of Euros. An amount he couldn't possibly earn in a m
Jesse directed her question to Louis who paused in his tracks. "M… Ma'am, I'm going back to my duty post." He stuttered in his words. However, Jesse kept glaring at him with her brows arched. "I went to get something from the dressing room." He continued and Jesse could not help but sneer at him.Arthur just stood there without a word. He was wondering why Jesse was acting so unfriendly towards Louis. Jesse started towards Louis, stopping right before him. "You."Louis bowed his head, refusing to have any eyes contact with the lady before him who looked infuriated."I've heard so much complaints of your misconduct from your colleagues. I didn't want to believe it because I believe in a fair trial. I wanted to be sure that they weren't all lying against you. However, I've seen with my own eyes that all they say about you is the truth. You are indeed a brat and a bully. Take this as your last warning. If I hear anymore mishaps that you are involved in, then, I'll have no choice but to
Arthur's heart skipped as the man brought out his phone. His thoughts reverted to the incident at the hotel. Has his identity been revealed?Hastily, Arthur snatched the phone from Nick's hands causing the man to cast him a confusing look. Is he ok?Paying no heed to Nick, Arthur watched a video of two men running after a young man and pleading that he gave them another chance. The men who were pleading seemed to have been sacked and was asking a poorly dressed man to forgive them.Arthur recognized the men. They were Frank and Harry while it was him hurrying away with a newspaper concealing his face. It was a newspaper that he took at the reception area where he sat before he was approached by Frank and Harry. He was happy to be in possession of the paper as it helped shield his face from those cameras.Tilting the phone so Nick could see the video again, Arthur asked. "Ummm… Why do you think I should have a look? I don't really understand what was going on there."Arthur feigned ign
Arthur was stunned at the response of the taxi driver. Really? How could he just ditch the man when he needed his services? To think that the man had become part of his undercover mission. Letting out a chuckle, he replied. "I'm waiting for you at the mall. Remember our agreement. No one must know about this. If you keep your end of the deal and not run your mouth, you'd be duly compensated.""Right Sir. I got your point clearly and can assure you that your secret is very safe with me.""Good."Arthur ended the call and made towards the exit door. His shift normally ends at 3pm and another security guard takes his place. Arthur was very ok with the morning shift. It meant that he'll have the rest of the day to do his other businesses. He has to keep an eye at the hotel and make sure Morris does a good job.The guy had been good to him for the two years they had worked together. It was why he gave him that huge responsibility. However, he needed to be sure that Morris was capable and t
Swiftly, Arthur took out his phone and made a call across to the hotel's CEO, Mr Mike. It was Axel who gave the man Arthur's real identity. The man had come in the previous night and came to work that day. However, he never parades himself around the hotel. That was the job of the manager. To supervise the activities of all the staff members.That was a huge responsibility. The CEO was mostly in his office watching what was going on in the place through the CCTV camera. As soon as he got the call from Arthur, he hastily summoned the staff members who converged at the conference hall. However, not all the staff had to leave their duty post since they had guests to attend to. A few stayed behind and would be learning about what transpired from those who had attended the emergency meeting.While Arthur made his way to the CEO's office to watch the show from there. The man stood before the staff members and addressed them."Good evening everyone. I'm sorry to have disrupted you from your
That was the moment Arthur wanted to see. It was interesting to see the downtrodden person lifted above everyone else. That was his case by that time two days ago, when he just learned about his mother's family. He was at his lowest and all of a sudden, he was made the highest.That feeling was out of the world. He could imagine how it was for Morris.He saw Mike beckon on him to come address the other staff who were still stunned where they stood. His job was done so he left the CEO's office and started towards the manager's office where he waited for the new manager.Not long after, the door was flung open and Morris walked into it. Upon seeing Arthur seated at the manager's swivel chair, Morris fell on his feet and thanked Arthur."Thank you so much Sir for this great opportunity you have given to me. I promise to put in my best. I know it's all new to me. However, I'll never let you down."Arthur didn't say a word. He just stood up from the chair and helped Morris up. "I believe I
Gregg yelled at the top of his voice and got the partying fellas on their heels. With the way the man screamed at them, they feared for their life. He sounded like a growling wild beast and they all left the place in a haste. Including Bryan and Janet.With the way the man flared up, the staff of the house ran out and found Gregg on the floor. He was crying and all they felt for him was pity. Imagine what such a great man had been reduced to because he married a bad wife who tore the house apart with her irresponsible son. Gregg was crying like a baby when his butler, Oscar pulled him up with the help of the other staff. They helped him to his room and let him lie on the bed while Oscar called the doctor.After some time, the doctor came around and examined Gregg"So doctor, what is the problem with my boss? He sat on the floor and was crying like a child after yelling at his son who was having a party in the sitting room. I've never seen him so helpless like this before." Oscar inqui
