"I want the exclusive of $10000 for 2 days, they will check out before then". The receptionist wanted to interrupt and was shocked when James brought out his card. The card alone had shut her up, it was a platinum black card, she has seen cards like this, only the richest men possessed such card!James was tired, he ignored every negative thing she had been doing and focused on getting a room and going out. The reception hand began to quiver, she instantly bowed and started giving James sincere respect. James, who had noticed a a change in her demeanour, puffed a breath from his nose and muttered "Thank you star that I'm tired, I have dealt with two of your kind today, I'm sure they would never look down on people in their life. She gasped in extreme shock and her jaws wanted to drop on the floor as she saw James Winslow on the platinum card she was given, she became restless more than before and could not raise her head to look at him. The manager came in and saw her shaking a
James finally got home to have a night's rest, Maureen noticed he was tired and helped him to prepare a hot water bath. "I pray you to find a better job soon, This one is draining you, look at how tired you look. "There is no better job else here ma, they look good outside until someone starts before he or she will know what it entails, nothing beats being an entrepreneur, "You are right, nothing beats being your boss, but some works require less energy than others. I don't want you to argue with me on this, if you do, you will waste your energy, go in and relax." Maureen commanded. "Yes ma," James stood up from the couch he sat determined to go inside and freshen up but Maureen who had not seen anyone to disturb kept asking questions despite being the one that asked not to was it energy? "Did you hear of your friend, Micheal?""Yes, I heard from him," James responded"How is he doing and the case you talked about.? "I didn't see him today, I was busy with work, he just called
He stepped into his car, the engine purring to life as he navigated through the familiar streets. Thoughts about Maureen's upcoming birthday the next day lingered in his mind, and he wanted to make it special for her.As he drove, memories of the challenging times they had faced together flashed before him. The surgery, the recovery, the resilience—they had weathered it all. His commitment to preserving her well-being was evident in every gesture, including the careful consideration of her health post-operation. Maureen didn't know how important the day would be in James' life, he thought she would die when he didn't get money for her operation from Alice. Arriving at Lucas's place, he found Lucas waiting outside. The two greeted each other, Lucas bowed, exchanging a few words before setting off on their plan. Lucas was someone to be trusted, despite that James had been careful in dealing with people. Humans will always be human! He could have told Lucas about Vito's properti
Lucas looked at them with annoyance"Do you have proof that I stole them?""Are you a police officer to start retrieving stolen materials?"One low-ranking officer who had been watching the drama said "Let's see what he brought and interrogate him ma" he put his hand on his head and charged straight.The officer blinked his eyes continuously before asking James what he brought. "Whose stolen properties do you retrieve?"Vito's properties " The head officer laughed sarcastically and sneered "With your appearance, I don't think you can find Vito's properties and turn it in"James looked at himself very well before he replied "What happened to my appearance? What does it have to do with what I brought?""You are not bad but you look like someone who desperately needs money, why don't you take your so-called Vito's properties and go, I'm feeling sorry for you right now, if not, I would have continued with my arrest.""What will I do with Vito's properties when it is less than what I ha
The female officer realized her fate hung in the balance. If James chose to react to the unfolding situation, it wouldn't be a mere charge for defamation; she could be locked up for instigating a crime, given that she had encouraged James to take the properties to improve his life.Her eyes widened in horror as she witnessed James retrieving his phone from his pocket. The thought crossed her mind: could he be intending to report her? Panic set in as she questioned herself – did he know whom to call?"Hello, Brian," she heard James say. Her mind calmed at the mention of Brian; none of the people from the quarter had heard of Brian. She continued eavesdropping on his conversation."I need a contact of a high-rank officer," James requested."Okay, sir. It will text you now with his name," Brian responded.The female officer began to tremble as she heard what James asked on the phone. She prayed silently to avoid getting in contact with Garvin.James's phone beeped, indicating a text mess
He knelt and held James' leg so that he would forgive him. Seeing him on the floor made Garvin notice the female force who had been on her knee before he entered, he knew she might have disrespected him also, not knowing that she was the master planner Despite bowing her head, she could feel that Garvin was gawking at her, she became drenched in sweat and her body was shaking like a leaf in the wind"Jasel," Garvin called her and said, "Were you rude to him too?""Yes, sir," she replied, stammering."What is your punishment?" Garvin asked, shooting her a dagger look.Shaking where she knelt, she stammered, "Stripping and…" She couldn't finish her statement due to embarrassment. Shame overshadowed her, and she gritted her teeth as she cried.Jasel recoiled from the stinging slap, her cheek reddening instantly. Shock and humiliation flashed across her face, her eyes widened, and for a moment, tears welled up in her eyes, she remained frozen in the where she was. The reception fell i
With the wrapped package in hand, James walked back to his car, a genuine smile of satisfaction playing on his face. The thought of his mother's upcoming birthday filled him with joy, and he couldn't wait to surprise her with the carefully chosen outfit. Eager to prepare for the celebration, he drove home, looking forward to making his mother's birthday a special and memorable occasion.He made a call to the event planner, saxophonist and everything he had paid for never to disappoint him and be early. Who dares disappoint Winslow? Arriving home, James had kept everything he bought in his car. He scurried inside after packing and found his matron, Maureen, in the living room. Excitement bubbled within him as he set his eyes on Maureen. He gathered his thoughts, cleared his throat and, with heartfelt warmth, began to sing a birthday song that Maureen always sang for him at the orphanage for Maureen. The room filled with a melody that echoed the love he had for her, Maureen stood
The engine of James' car made a rumbly noise and stopped at the front of Golden Dragon Palace.Golden Dragon Palace was the biggest Chinese restaurant in the South district, Aston Villa. The entrance was adorned with intricate golden dragons, their splendid forms welcoming customers into a realm of culinary delights. James located a car garage in the place and parked his car. He alighted and went to open the door for Maureen. Maureen was so delighted visiting that place for the first time, it was like a dream come true for her. She enjoyed watching their cooking show on TV and always practised the dishes they used for the show. They stepped inside and Maureen could not hide her joy. Inside it, the decor blended traditional and modern elements, with rich red and gold hues creating a warm and inviting environment.People started gawking at them because they didn't wear expensive dresses they dressed like ordinary people and this caught the attention of people. James had noticed al
