The Ultimate Mogul Strikes Back!

CHAPTER 12

“Yeah. I need a card with a higher limit as well. The one I have will not suffice and it’s also close to its expiration date” Jeremiah said and Anthony nodded.

“I’ll get on that right away, sir. Just give me a moment” Anthony said then he stood up from the couch and went to the landline on the wall.

He called one of the bank staff to come to the VIP lounge and ended the call before returning to sit with Jeremiah.

A couple of minutes later, a female banker with blonde hair tied in a ponytail and pink-framed glasses walked into the VIP lounge with one of the company’s laptops in her hand.

She walked up to Anthony and greeted him.

“Mister Jeremiah, this is Mercy and she’ll be the one to make the upgrades to your bank account and credit card,” Anthony said.

“Good morning, sir” Mercy greeted Jeremiah and the multimillionaire greeted her back.

“Can you please provide your banking information like your name and account number so I can make the upgrades you want?” Mercy asked as she opened her laptop and went to sit on the third couch around the table.

Jeremiah gave her all the information she needed to find his account and then she upgraded it to the highest tier imaginable.

She also requested for a new credit card for him since his old one was no longer up to par and when she was done, she left the lounge but without the laptop.

She left it for Anthony whose job was to continue the remaining process of the credit card issuance which was managerial approval after the request had been made.

Anthony went to get Jeremiah’s card from the storage and Jeremiah, who was expecting the same type of credit card he got last time, was surprised by what he got.

When Jeremiah first opened his bank account that couldn’t even receive anything above two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, he got a credit card with a spending limit of twenty thousand dollars.

That card was plastic and came in an envelope. However, what Jeremiah saw in Anthony’s hand was a palm-sized, carbon Fibre box with the bank’s branding on it.

Anthony opened the box and what Jeremiah saw inside was the shine and luster of a platinum credit card which was something he had only ever seen in movies and never in real life.

That was the highest grade of credit card a bank could issue to a customer they held in high regard and Jeremiah was about to receive one.

Anthony took the card out of the box and inserted it into a slot on the laptop. He linked the card to Jeremiah’s account and then the only thing that was left was for Jeremiah to put in his transaction pin.

Anthony gave the laptop to Jeremiah to do that and then he looked away so as not to see what number the multimillionaire would put.

Jeremiah imputed the same number as his old credit card then he returned the laptop to Anthony who finished up the remaining process and everything was finished.

Anthony pulled out the platinum credit card from the slot, placed it nicely inside the carbon fiber box it came in, and then handed it to Jeremiah.

“Is that it?” Jeremiah asked as he stared at the alluring box in his hand.

“Yes, sir, that’s everything. Oh, before I forget, here’s your booklet that shows you everything the card is used for. The benefits and features alike” Anthony said as he stretched a booklet and an envelope to Jeremiah.

Jeremiah took them both and he flipped through the booklet for less than a second before setting it to the side and unsealing the envelope to see what was inside.

It was a card with a message on it that read “Welcome to the platinum membership of Polaris Bank, dear Sir/madam. We hope for a brighter future together”

The message put a smile on Jeremiah’s face.

It was quick and endearing. Doing its job without wasting time.

Jeremiah returned the card into the envelope then he picked up the booklet from the couch and put the envelope in the middle like a bookmark.

“Thank you, Anthony” Jeremiah said and Anthony smiled.

“Don’t mention it, sir. It was my pleasure” Anthony replied.

“For the wonderful job you’ve done, I’ll talk to my father about increasing your salary. How does double sound?” Jeremiah said and Anthony’s eyes widened.

It was the greatest news he could have received from anyone that day.

The grateful manager went on his knees and bowed his head to Jeremiah.

“Thank you very much, sir! I’m eternally grateful for this” Anthony said and Jeremiah chuckled.

“It’s fine. You more than anyone deserve it” Jeremiah said and Anthony raised his head.

With that came an end to Jeremiah’s objective in the bank.

“I’ll be taking my leave now,” Jeremiah said as he stood up and Anthony joined him to stand up as well.

“Please allow me to escort you, Sir” Anthony offered and Jeremiah nodded as he saw no problem with it.

Both of them exited the VIP lounge then they headed back to the main part of the bank which on getting close enough, Jeremiah started to hear a loud voice yelling and cussing.

“Who could that be?” Anthony asked as the two men stopped and grimaced.

The voice sounded familiar to Jeremiah but he held his tongue and didn’t say anything.

“Let’s go find out, shall we” Jeremiah said then they continued walking and when they made it to where the noise was coming from, Jeremiah saw Paul yelling at one of the bankers.

“What do you mean my account has been frozen?!” Paul yelled.
