Rex wished he could explain to Andrea everything that happened, but he decided to keep it to himself for a moment because he knew it would be doubtful news to Andrea, his friend."Not related to all this you're saying, Andrea, you know I don't steal what's not mine, so why would you conclude I stole this card? Besides, you're the one that put yourself in a confused state because I told you you'd understand everything when it's set to understand, but you keep on trying to figure it all out today," Rex replied to Andrea, taking the credit card from him.Andrea couldn't do anything but stare at Rex in disbelief.Rex told him not to worry much about him and that things were now okay with him. So Andrea agreed after all his plans to know how Rex got the credit card went fruitless and what he meant by his tense: "Don't worry about me; I'm no longer the old version of Rex everyone knew."At first, he thought Rex was referring to the fact that he now dresses well and doesn't wear faded-colored
The young, beautiful lady smiled at Rex's gaze toward her, but Rex ignored her and tried to focus on his food; he couldn't waste the energy left in him on unreasonable things like smiling back at her because he was famished. But the lady didn't give up; she stared at Rex for like every five minutes. He thought the lady recognized him; probably they had met somewhere years ago, but her gaze was more than the emotion of seeing an old friend; she was looking at him admirably. Indeed, Rex was worth admiring, even when he was broke, to talk of now he found himself in a place full of silver and gold. After he was done eating, he stood up to leave and accidentally made eye contact with the lady. At this moment, he was able to smile at her. At least he is now satisfied, no longer hungry, and he realizes she is beautiful—beautiful enough to catch any man's attention at first sight, with her adorning eyes like those of a pet cat. Indeed, she's beautiful—more than Cassandra, even. He ignored h
He unlocked his room door and entered. He arranged his cheap mattress and clung to sleep, but he wasn't drowsy.He unlocked his smartphone and started browsing social media, and he decided to browse through the macro app —the macro app that he had been avoiding all the years. He went to his app store to install it.He topped up his account after successfully installing it to avoid it exhausting early. He tried to log in but couldn't remember his account password. Because it had been a long time since he logged in to the Macro app, he created a new account and started browsing—watching reels and other exciting videos.He checked the time to know when he should go to sleep so he could wake up earlier tomorrow, but he immediately remembered that tomorrow was Sunday. However, he decided to watch as many videos as he wanted, for he had no vital place to go tomorrow.He watched different videos until he got tired and decided to turn off his phone to sleep.He memorized all the incidents that
Rex picked up the call."Hello, Jackson; what's the meaning of this? Why did you make me a subject of mockery? Why didn't you show up as you assured me earlier you were on your way, or you would have earlier told me you were not coming so I would know how to amend my schedule?" He paused and gazed at his wristwatch and continued: "This is already 1:20 p.m., since 8:30 a.m. I came here. Oh, now I get it. You used this opportunity to have fun and enjoy yourself—probably with a random girl you met on the street, right? "You lodged in a hotel just to have fun and left me here to be mocked; you chose frivolity over priority, right? Have you forgotten you can be fired right now—I mean right now by me? It seemed like you do not love this job anymore. Rex reverberated with an angry tone.Jackson tried to apologize and explain, but he didn't pay a listening ear to him—he didn't even give him a chance to talk, talk more of an explanation, and he ended the call.His rage became even worse than b
The doctor told them his grandfather had been discharged and that he was in good condition now. This made Rex come back to his normal senses."Then where is he? I should be the one to take him home if he was discharged," Jackson replied."Oh, someone else did, and Mr. Alphonsus confirmed it was his servant," the doctor replied.Rex and Jackson gazed at each other."Sir, it must be Spid," Jackson replied, noticing the worrisome looks on his master's face."And who is the spider, or whatever you called him?" Rex replied.At this point, the doctor was already confused; he thought he had handed the old man to a kidnapper, all in the name of a security guard."Sir, do you mean you don't know who took your grandfather home? Is everything alright?" The doctor questioned"You're questioning me? I should be the one asking you. Don't you know he is an older man and that you shouldn't listen to all he says? Someone brought him here, and you discharged him without the person's consent. Are you rea
He told Rex he had made arrangements to get him a private car. And Rex became highly delighted upon hearing this. "So, when will you like to visit any automobile dealer and request the car of your choice? I'll send them the money immediately after your selection, and everything you may need to be done in the car will be settled within a few days," the old man enunciated. "If possible, today!" Rex exclaimed; he couldn't believe he was about to have his car too. He knelt and appreciated the old man. The old man called Jackson to take him to the car dealership of his choice, and Jackson didn't waste any time taking Rex to the car dealership as instructed. Rex was enthralled by the cars he saw immediately after they arrived at the car dealership. "Sir, if you don't like any of these cars, we can go to the ordering center; there, you can request any car of your choice, and it'll be imported," Jackson suggested. However, Rex didn't respond to him; he was busy opening and closing
Rex paid deaf ears to them; he hadn't finished sorting out his significant problems to talk of going into banter with girls. He turned to walk straight into the lecture hall, and suddenly, a Mercedes Benz immediately passed him and stopped in front of him. His countenance changed immediately. He was still battling with the words of the disciples of his enemy a few minutes ago; what would happen now that their master had arrived? He wasn't fidgeting because of the person, but because of what he would cause them to do. As soon as the car stopped, the left side door opened, revealing a pair of charming women's shoes on the ground. Immediately, the person behind them appeared, which was Cassandra, a stunning lady. "Queen beauty!" everyone instantly hailed as she stepped down. A few seconds later, Kanye opened the car door and stepped down; Cassandra, on noticing Rex's presence, immediately walked to Kanye, and they had a passionate kiss. The students made a vast cheering sound in admi
The hand pulled him back, and he veered around and discovered it was one of the school security personnel. "Hey, boy, where are you going?" the security asked. Rex was surprised upon hearing such a question; he wondered when it became the security priority to monitor the movement of the students because he could remember students trooping out and in even when there's an ongoing lecture, most especially the rich ones; some do not even attend classes for some weeks but still perform well after the exam. This magic happens with the aid of some professors; though it's an illegal act and has a massive punishment for it, some professors and lecturers indulge in it because of the money those big boys bribe them with. "Excuse me, sir, when did it become your duty to monitor my whereabouts? Is here a secondary school or creche to be monitoring my activities?" Rex questioned. The reply he got from the security personnel was beyond his imagination; he expected the man to apologize and let
