Darren and Alice were also as shocked as James, they did not expect to run into James in a place like this.Darren had taken Alice out to spoil her with expensive gifts, he had already bought them and planned to buy a few more outfits before they went home. The shock on Darren's face slowly morphed into anger.Alice became instantly irritated at the sight of her ex-husband.Darren was brimming with anger, and so was James he had not forgotten how he humiliated him, he felt like pouncing on Darren again and teaching him a big lesson but he restrained himself, the bulky security at the entrance would definitely throw him out, besides he bumped into them first, Maureen raised him to apologize whenever he was wrong."What the hell are you doing here?" Alice asked her voice laced with anger.James felt a sharp pain in his chest when he heard the tone at which Alice questioned him, he did not expect Alice to still resent him after he sent her the Tanzanite Heels, but he had forgotten to ask
"How would you be paying sir? Cash or transfer?" The sales lady asked James.James thought for a minute and decided to pay by card"I will be paying by card" James answered.He brought out his black premium card and handed it over to the sales lady, everyone watched as the sales lady took the black card from James with great anticipation.The sales lady swiped the card across the machine, and everyone waited for the light scanner on the machine to turn green, signaling that James could indeed pay for the outfits.Everyone was disappointed when the light on the machine turned red which could only mean one thing.The transaction declinedDarren and Alice burst into laughter when they heard the beeping sound of the machine as it turned red. It turned out they were right all along, James didn't have any money he was just posing as a rich man. James could never afford clothes worth $650,000.The sales lady wore a sad and disappointed look, she had believed that James could afford the outfit
The man who walked in was Bruno, the manager of the boutique, he was nearly dressed in a very expensive suit which looked like it cost at least $60,000 which showed he was no ordinary person.Bruno was a very popular man in the south district, he had a very commanding presence that made the people in the restaurant freeze as soon as they heard his voice, Bruno was a very popular and successful businessman and he managed the boutique and some other business in the district, rumor also had it that he also ran some underground businesses, which made a lot of people fear him. Bruno barely came out of his office except there was an emergency or one of the wealthiest people in the world came to shop in the boutique, he would usually take them around personally."Manager Bruno!" The sales lady and other staff exclaimed while bowing down deeply.Bruno ignored their greeting and walked up to James, Brian had earlier called him that the new Heir to the Winslow Empire was being embarrassed at his
Darren and Alice got into their car, the atmosphere was heavy with frustration. They both did not look happy because of what had just transpired back at the boutique, after the Manager had threatened to throw them out of the boutique all because of James they did all their remaining shopping in silence. Darren clenched the steering wheel tightly like it was James' neck, he wished it was he would not let go at all, all his plans to humiliate him backfired at him.Darren tried to calm himself down, stressing over someone like James was seriously not worth it."Darren, this is unbelievable!" Alice said breaking the silence."How did James manage to manipulate Bruno like that? What kind of spell did he cast on Bruno that all of a sudden he was just doing his bidding?" Alice exclaimed, her voice a mix of disbelief and frustration.Darren took a deep breath, attempting to quell his anger. "He just got lucky that the manager mistook him for someone else, next time I will make him pay!"Alic
James rode on his electric bike back home, and the cool air brushed against his face. James felt fulfilled, realizing that despite Alice and Darren's attempt to humiliate him, the tables had turned against them. After all that Alice had done it was clear to him that all Alice cared about was money, she ended three years of their marriage just to be with Darren, and from now on James wanted nothing to do with Alice, and very soon will regret leaving him when she finds out his real identity."Good evening Maureen" James greeted Maureen as he entered the house, Maureen was sitting comfortably on the couch watching TV, she seemed to be enjoying herself."Good evening my son" Maureen replied to James' greeting and hurriedly strode over to James to assist him in settling the many shopping bags. James was carrying so many bags that he struggled to close the door behind him."Don't worry, it's fine" James smiled at Maureen's gesture as she offered to help with the shopping bags, Maureen was a
A video capturing the dramatic incident at the Golden City Mall boutique went viral, causing a buzz on social media platforms. Although James' face was not clear in the video, nobody could identify him, no one would even believe that the same man who was humiliated at Cherry Garden was now being treated with respect by one of the most successful businessmen in the south district.The online community came up with different theories about the unidentified man. Many believed that he was the new head of the Winslow Empire and people wondered why he had refused to reveal himself.Alice parked her car in front of DEX LOGISTICS, the company that had delivered the Tanzanite Heels to her office a few days ago.The company building was a three storey building designed in the latest modern architecture with the name written styled boldly on the building. Today Alice was finally going to find out the mysterious person who gifted her the Tanzanite Heels.Alice exited her car and headed towards t
The receptionist glanced around cautiously before continuing, "I happen to have the phone number of the person who arranged the delivery. However, giving out such information goes against our company's policy, and I could get in trouble. If you're willing to compensate me for the risk, I might consider sharing the phone number of the person who sent the Heels with you." The receptionist knew that Alice was desperate and decided to take advantage of it. She wanted to help her but not for free.Alice's eyes widened at the unexpected proposition of the receptionist, she didn't expect such a request from someone working in a high end company like this "Are you asking for a bribe?" Alice asked with suspicion written all over her face.The receptionist relaxed back swaying left to right in her office chair wearing a smirk on her face"Let's call it a gesture of goodwill. I understand this is important to you, and a small compensation could help smooth the process."Alice thought this through
Alice was taken by surprise, yes, she was expecting someone dressed luxuriously like the man in front of her but his voice did not sound like the person she spoke with over the phone, the man she spoke with on the phone had a more husky voice, and with how rich Alice imagined him to be she was expecting him to come in a convoy of expensive cars with many bodyguards, well she knew nothing about him aside that he was very wealthy, he might prefer to live a simple and not loud life."Are you the one I was speaking with on the phone?" Alice asked him with an inquisitive look."No, that's my boss. My name is Brian and I work for Mr Winslow, he could not make it here as he had something important to attend to, so he sent me here instead"Alice looked at Brian with confusion as there were only two people Alice knew that had that surname, James and the new head of the Winslow Empire whom nobody knew his identity.But it could never be James there is no way the boss of the man who was standin
