The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back!

CHAPTER 11

Jeremiah followed Anthony into his office and being used to what he, as a guest, was supposed to do, he started walking to the guest chair by the desk.

“Not that way sir,” Anthony said and Jeremiah halted, groaned then turned to him.

He wondered what Anthony meant by that and more importantly, he wondered why the manager was standing in front of another door inside the office but then he saw the truth.

“For special guests like yourself, we’ll be using this room,” Anthony said then he twisted the gold-plated knob of the door, revealing what could only be called a lounge for two and at most five people.

The place was beautiful and welcoming to anyone who saw it.

Surprised that there was such a luxurious room inside the already luxurious manager’s office, Jeremiah walked up to Anthony and both of them walked into the room.

Anthony closed the door and Jeremiah took in the premium feeling the room gave.

“This is the VIP lounge where our most important customers can sit down and relax while I provide them with the best service Polaris Bank has to offer,” Anthony said as he and Jeremiah walked deeper into the Lounge.

“Please, sir, sit there over there while I get you something to drink,” Anthony said, gesturing at one of the couches by the table then he went to the fridge to get a bottle of champagne.

Jeremiah did what the manager told him to and went to sit down on the couch which he almost sank into because of how soft and comfortable it was.

Jeremiah was surprised because he had never been on such a couch before. So soft and comfortable that it put his bed to shame.

He rubbed his palm on the material used to make the couch and although he didn’t know what type of leather it was, he could tell that it was of a very high quality.

He wouldn’t be wrong if he thought that the couch alone cost more than his yearly salary from all the jobs he worked.

“Sir, I have a bottle of Dom Perignon Rosé, Armand de Brignac Brut, and Louis Roederer Cristal 1990. Which one would you prefer?” Anthony asked Jeremiah as he held the first two options in his hands.

Jeremiah looked at the manager and he had no idea what any of the names he just called were.

It was only by seeing the bottle that he knew that they were champagnes, but at the same time, he was lost on which to pick from as he had never tasted any.

“Why don’t you pick,” Jeremiah said with a smile.

He tried to hide his beverage illiteracy from the manager who thought that as his boss he had always been rich when in truth, he had just come into his wealth less than twenty-four hours ago.

“Okay, sir. I guess we’ll go for my favorite. The Louis Roederer Cristal 1990” Anthony said then he returned the two bottles of champagne into the fridge and took out the Louis Roederer Cristal 1990.

He closed the fridge then grabbed a champagne flute glass and went to meet Jeremiah at the couches.

Anthony dropped the flute glass on the table between Jeremiah’s couch and the one he was to sit in, then he popped open the bottle of champagne and poured it into Jeremiah’s glass.

When it got about halfway to the flute being filled, Jeremiah who wasn’t one to drink alcohol, told him to stop which Anthony did and then he dropped the bottle next to the glass.

Anthony went to sit down on the couch opposite Jeremiah then he said “Please, sir, go ahead. You can drink as much as you want and let me know if you want a refill”

Jeremiah who had never drunk champagne before picked up the glass then he sniffed it to see what the aroma would be like and it was nice.

To think that his first taste of champagne was going to be one of such high quality. His life really had changed.

Jeremiah took a sip and it felt like heaven. It was the most delicious thing he had ever tasted in his entire life.

“I’m glad you like it, sir,” Anthony said and Jeremiah smiled.

Jeremiah finished the drink in his glass then he dropped the empty glass on the table.

“Do you want another glass, sir?” Anthony offered.

Jeremiah was tempted but he didn’t want to get drunk or tipsy so he nicely declined.

“I’d prefer if we got down to what brought me here in the first place,” Jeremiah said and Anthony nodded.

“Of course, sir. So, what exactly can I help you with?” Anthony asked.

“I have above fifty million dollars in my account right now and I don’t have access to any of it because it exceeds my limit.”

“So you want me to increase your limit?” Anthony said and Jeremiah nodded.

“That’s right.”

“Okay, sir. Anything else?” Anthony asked.
