That was Queta’s diary. All these years, she had always had the habit of keeping a diary.Xara flipped over the first page, and it was from the time before Queta met Gerald. “I became a kindergarten teacher today. I’m quite satisfied since I get to see the children being happy and cheerful every day. I’ve never had a mother since I was young after all. Maybe I won’t feel so lonely by being with this group of overjoyed, bubbly kids.” “Today, I overheard a colleague talking about me behind my back. That teacher said that I grew up in an orphanage and that I was abandoned by my parents when I was young. I pretended as if I didn’t hear it, but I was so sad and upset. I hope I can meet my parents one day, so I can ask them why they abandoned me. Why couldn’t they give me a beautiful and happy childhood? Why?” “…”“I work in a restaurant now. I made some mistakes, so I was scolded by my superior. A rich young man helped me. For some reason, I knew that he had a kind soul the moment
“Let me tell you. My car is a Mercedes-Benz too. It’s much, much more expensive than your stupid MPV! I won’t let this incident slide unless you cough up forty-five grand for me to fix my goddamn car!” “Also, forty-five thousand dollars are just the fees for repairing my car. You still need to provide compensation for the mental anguish you have caused me! I was rushing to attend a function today. Now that I’ve missed it, have you any idea how much I’ve truly lost? It’s far greater than thirty thousand dollars that’s for sure. Hmph!” That woman looked young, as young as Marven and the rest of his group. She was overreacting probably because of how rich she was.Marven and the others said nothing to refute her claims.“It was just a simple accident. Do you really have to ask for such a great amount for compensation? How are we even going to cough up that sum?” Stella asked anxiously.Seventy-five thousand dollars was no small change.Stella was rather paranoid when it came t
“Hahaha! D*mn! Get a load of this guy! Glorious Moment Villa is the most expensive property throughout Salford County. A place like that costs around twelve million dollars. Like hell the owner of that place would even consider owning a stupid little Merc!” “Ah, I see it now. Miss, I’m guessing these guys are just trying to frighten you! After all, someone who lives in Glorious Moment Villa is not to be trifled with!” The few passersby broke into laughter. The woman, of course, heard them mention Glorious Moment Villa as well. She lashed out at them angrily, “Are you out of your mind? Let me tell you. The more you waste my time, the more compensation you’re going to have to pay me for my emotional distress. How dare you even think about frightening me! My boyfriend knows some of the people who stay in Glorious Moment Villa. Who is your boss? I guess we’ll find out after I make some phone calls to ask about it!” Marven was deeply angered by her statement.However, in the next
“Hello, Mr. Crawford. I’m Xavion!” Xavion was Chairman Gordon. Gerald met him at the extravagant marketing party for the Mountain Top Villa in Howard County the other day. They had exchanged numbers during their brief interaction there.“Nice to hear from you again, Chairman Gordon. Is there anything I can help you with?” Gerald smiled and said. “Yes, there’s something I’d like to discuss. We’re organizing a banquet, and we’ve invited rich businessmen from various places to attend the event. At first, we didn't dare to invite you since we’re just mere businessmen, and it might be more of an inconvenience for you to attend our banquet. But the response we’ve received is astounding. Rich businessmen and distinguished members of Mayberry’s society have agreed to come. Those presidents said that they’re your subordinates. So, I was calling to ask if you’re free to attend our humble little feast.”Xavion said. Doing actual business and earning money were only side-quests when one
The assessors said. “Nonsense! This is an imported car. My boyfriend’s father asked his friends to buy it for them. Of course it’s not yours!” “I think you’ve misunderstood what we’re trying to say here. What I meant is that this vehicle isn’t the model that can be found in our inventory. It’s not even supposed to be sold here in Weston. Only one batch of it was ever produced, which was discontinued a long time ago. But, recently, there have been counterfeits of this model circulating around the domestic market. I’m sure you know through what method this vehicle was procured without me having to say much,” the assessor explained.“D*mn! So you’re trying to say that we smuggled this vehicle? What a load of horse crap!”Xyla sounded audibly panicked.The assessors were helpless. He could only show her the official statement they received from headquarters about these cars. In addition to that, all known counterfeited vehicles had their own reports and related files. “Get lost!
“Don’t say that Xyla! Not in front of him at least!” Vincy said. Although she too, felt that it would be rather embarrassing to arrive on nothing but an electric tricycle, her fear was whittled away by the sight of Gerald riding the vehicle unapologetically. If he himself didn’t feel embarrassed, why should she? Xyla on the other hand felt the complete opposite. “Maybe you’ve gone drunk! If you want to ride on that thing, go ahead and knock yourself out! Like hell, I’m gonna go in with you though. I’ll be waiting for you outside the venue. And you! Don’t you forget what happened today, Gerald!” After that, Xyla hailed a taxi and left for the venue in a hurry. After all, she needed to be where her boyfriend was as soon as possible. “I think it’s better if you don’t go. Listen, my little sister’s whipping up a real good meal. Why don’t you come over to my place and have a meal together? It’s on my tab!” Gerald offered.After all, Gerald and Vincy still had the kind of friendsh
The security guards, who were standing at the entrance shouted out to the businessmen who were standing out in the courtyard.The rich folks then hastily, but excitedly rushed forwards to welcome the newly-arrived guest.“D*mn! Why is there an electric tricycle parked at the entrance? What are you doing? Get lost kid!” The security guard came over and shoved Gerald aside forcefully. “Oh God, how embarrassing!” Feeling humiliated, Xyla covered her eyes. “If there’s anything you’d like to say, say it nicely. Why did you push me around? I’ll leave now, alright!?” Gerald stepped on the gas pedal and left. After the convoy rolled to a stop, a couple of middle-aged businessmen got out of the vehicles. There were their rich daughters and sons too. It quickly became clear that these were their most distinguished guests today.The other presidents lined up to welcome them. Pleasantries and greetings were exchanged.“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for giving me the honor to atte
Since there were so many people present earlier and she was already feeling so uncomfortable back then, Vincy had gotten off the electric tricycle in a hurry. She must’ve forgotten to take her bag along with her at that moment! “Oh no, how careless of you! Did you have a lot of cash in it?” asked Xyla. “Having my money stolen is the last thing I’m worried about! I just hope that Gerald eventually notices it! If it gets left behind, my cell phone, identity card, and bank cards will all be gone!” replied Vincy. “Hey! Why are you doing back here? Does this look like a car park to you?” At that moment, a commotion could be heard from the entrance. Upon closer inspection, a few security guards seemed to be trying to prevent a young man from entering the area. “My friend’s forgotten her bag! I just want to pass it to her!” The young man in question was none other than Gerald! “Have a good look at what kind of place this is! Do you think that anyone can just enter this place all
