"Does it mean she had left me here and gone home?" he wondered.He brought out his phone to dial her number, and just then, someone emerged from his back."I'm here, dear. I'm sorry if I got you worried," she apologized.Rex exhaled a heavy breath. "Why would you prank me on such a thing?" he complained."I'm really sorry, sir," she pleaded. She called him "Sir" because she knew Rex was seriously annoyed by her action."It wasn't a prank, sir; my stomach was disturbing, which led me to go to the restroom; I really purged hard," she explained."Oh, I'm really sorry you experienced that, dear. I hope you're better now." Rex responded with a pitiful tone."Yes, I'm way better now. Honestly, all the while you were making payments, I wasn't the one with you because of this; my mind was focused on how to ease myself," she replied. "I guess it was because of the porridge beans I ate; I don't eat beans frequently at home, but I managed to because you were eating them," she added."Well, the m
They entered and started ascending to the second floor, which was where Rex was living. However, as they arrived at the entrance, Rex noticed the door was locked too. He sighed because he never thought Cecilia would lock it, even when the major security door had been locked.He pressed the bell as well; nonetheless, they stayed at the entrance for over five minutes, waiting for her to come and unlock the door for them.At last, Cecilia showed up and opened the door for them; however, as she saw Ava, her countenance frowned, and Ava was shocked too upon seeing her.They walked past each other without greeting.As Rex noticed the uncomfortable look on Cecilia's face, he decided to introduce Ava to her. "Dear, meet my manager; she's so nice and a productive person," he remarked."Oh, welcome to our home," Cecilia said to Ava.Ava murmured in response to Ava. In honesty, if not, it was already dark; one could get depressed by merely looking at Ava's face because of how disappointed she fe
"Oh my goodness, who told you that?" Rex exclaimed."Who's the lady at your house, then?" she persisted.Rex laughed sarcastically upon realizing the reason Ava had been moody toward him and Cecilia—she actually thought Cecilia was his wife!"Oh my goodness, I can't believe you think such of me. I mean, why?" He teased her."What are you trying to insinuate? That I'm wrong or what?" Ava questioned.Rex was silent for a few seconds, smiling, as he still could not believe that was the reason for all the attitude Ava had been giving him and Cecelia."She was actually right," he remarked."Who... What do you mean?" Ava cuts in. "Was I wrong at first?" she retorted."Not that you're totally wrong, but you're wrong in some ways," he replied."I mean, the lady was right on what she told me," he said. She isn't my wife. How would I get married without you being present?" he questioned, steering the car to the route that leads to Ava's district."So who's she then?" Ava became relieved as she h
Rex arrived home and went straight to his room to sleep. He had planned to sleep for the rest of the day till night, when he would come out to eat dinner and then go back to sleep. This was because he was feeling lightheaded because of too much stress, from school issues to companies to home and friend affairs.***The next day, which was Tuesday, Rex woke up energetically and started practicing his martial skills. He had planned to use the day to visit his friend Andrea and know how he had been doing because their exam for the day was canceled and was postponed to Wednesday.Ever since Rex lost his phone, he has had issues logging into his Google account, which is where all his important contacts are saved. So he wasn't able to connect with Andrea unless he visits him, and he was always too busy to easily create time for that. Fortunately, today the opportunity has created itself to visit Andrea.After a few minutes of practicing, he took his bath, ate his breakfast, and then left th
"Alright, I'm listening, sir," she remarked, and she listened attentively to him."I may not return today or tomorrow, so I want to remind you of the reason you came to this house." He paused, glaring at Cecilia's face, making sure she understood every bit of his words."Focus on your work, and don't mess with those security guards of mine, especially the one called Tyler; he's so corrupt and could make wonders happen, so do not be deceived, or you'll lose your job," he finalized."Did I sound coherent, or should I repeat?" he asked."Of course, sir, you're sounding coherent. Why would I make such a mistake?" Cecilia responded."Great, so..." he was interrupted by the ringing of his phone. He brought it, and upon glancing at the screen, he discovered it was Oliver. "My pilot is already here, so I'll be leaving. Take care!" He hurried and left the building to meet Oliver at the estate field.As he arrived at the field, he discovered many of the estate residents had their eyes fixed on
They all sauntered in, and Andrea offered them a seat."Please, what could I get for you?" he asked Rex."I'm not in the mood to eat anything now; my chef just overdosed me with food before coming here; maybe ask my pilot, he might be hungry," Rex replied."So your chef feeding you has given you the impetus to reject my food? No, that would not happen here, Rex; you have to take something from me," Andrea said."I'm okay, Andrea; reserve your food for those who need it," Rex insisted."C'mon, man, could you just hear what you are saying? You're refusing to eat in my house; how does that sound?" Andrea rebuked Hum."Well, if you insist, just get me a chilled exotic drink; I'm dehydrated," he requested."After refusing to eat my food, you're demanding exotic drinks; leave exotic for those who will eat," Andrea said jokingly."And are you sure if there is even anyone going to eat?" Rex responded"Of course, Mr. Gentle will, he will definitely eat." He turned to Oliver."I would have reje
"You know it wouldn't cost you anything if you had calmed down and asked me this question. Yes, for real! It wouldn't harm you if you'd calmed down and asked me this," Andrea responded."Alright, I'm sorry for my harsh attitude toward you earlier," he apologized."It's okay, I understood your frustration; that's why I didn't retaliate," Andrea responded."So what do I do now?" Rex questioned. "I would have said let me download it online, but you know it's copyrighted and was only permitted to be published locally. I don't know why my department doesn't like moving forward like other departments—I mean, in this digital era.""Like I told you earlier, don't worry much about it, for in any problem there's a solution," Andrea reminded him."Alright, I'm worrying no more, but what do we do? What's the remedy?"Good! That's a good question," he smiled. "Now, this is the remedy; I have a business study textbook—sorry, I mean textbooks—that I bought when I thought I would enroll in the course
They entered the plane and flew to the school.***At midday, the exam was done, and students were seen popping wine in celebration, mostly the final-year students like Rex. They were celebrating because they were done with the school and hoping their result would be good.However, Rex wasn't left behind; he was full of joy too because he participated all day despite the predicaments that nearly made him miss two days' exams (the first day and the last day).Nonetheless, Rex wasn't popping any wine or champagne; to him, it was not over yet as the result hadn't been released."There's no need to celebrate and cry later, so let me reserve my celebration till I get my result," he mumbled.He parked all his valuables from his desk drawer and left for the spot where Oliver was. They didn't land in the school field in the morning because of what Rex noticed the first day he came with Jet.However, he even warned Oliver to stop landing inside the school if there was any possibility he would
