"Thank you, Miss, baby of the house. I know you must have been enjoying the home alone," Ava responded friendly.Cecilia's face shone brighter as she heard that coming out of Ava, she had been cold since she noticed she was with Rex, unbeknownst that Ava was not really the type of person she portrayed on her last visit, and this was because Rex had made it clear to her who Cecilia was."Absolutely, ma," Cecilia responded with a smile on her lips. "I have been acting like a baby since yesterday," she said. "I watched movies last night to my satisfaction and went to bed at the time I wanted," she added."Because you have nowhere to go, that's why," Rex chimed in."Oh, absolutely not, because I don't have to wake up early to make something for the house," Cecilia stated. "I only had to make food for myself, so I woke up when I chose to," she added, winking at them.Everyone laughed, excluding the guards, who maintained their stern looks.They walked into the building, and the guards bran
At the company, Rex was in his office going through some documents when his messenger came in."Sir, you have a visitor. Should I let her in to meet you?" she questioned.Rex exhaled and raised his gaze toward the messenger, relaxing back in his chair and clutching his legs together."Who did she say she is, and what did she say she came for? Do you know her?" he inquired."She is the former accountant, sir; she said she's here to discuss some personal matters with you," the messenger responded.Rex's heart sank in his stomach as he heard this, and he sighed heavily. Has this lady come here to embarrass him again? But what Rex was worried about now was that she was going to embarrass him in front of his subordinates."Sir, is everything right?" The messenger asked. "Anything the matter?" he added, as he realized the sudden change in Rex's face at the mention of "former accountant.""Oh, yeah, I was contemplating something," Rex responded. "Anyway, let her in," he declared.At first, h
Rex couldn't help but let out a wry smile."So what do you want me to do?" he questioned her.Upon hearing this, Miriam cleared her throat in relief. To her, it seemed her nest was about to catch a bird."They demanded a sum of three million dollars for the surgery, and I don't have it," she stated, clutching her fingers and gazing at Rex with worrisome looks. From her stare, one could tell that she was scared that Rex would refuse to offer any money.However, Rex let out another chuckle. She even added an extra one million dollars to the two million she agreed with her lover.In honesty, Rex hadn't heard of or seen someone who went under the knife for medical surgery that has cost two million dollars, except for the liposuction and Brazilian butt Lift ladies do. To add to his surprise, she added an extra one million dollars to it, making it three million dollars. Indeed, Miriam is a gold digger."You need three million dollars for surgery concerning your pregnancy?" Rex asked, gazing
"Please, I'm sorry, Mr. Rex. Please, I don't have any other means of survival if you do this to me," Miriam pleaded."Whatever. Please leave my office!" Rex growled, causing an alarm that his messenger rushed in."Sir, is anything the matter?" the lady questioned as soon as she rushed into the office."Please take this lady out of my office; get the securities to take her out," Rex insisted."Alright, sir, consider it done," she affirmed, leaving the scene. A few minutes later, she returned with four strong-bodied men."That's the lady who had been disturbing the master. Please lead her out," the messenger urged the company security men."This way, please," one of the men said to Miriam with a stern gaze, which is capable of causing convulsions in newborn babies.Miriam, sluggish, stood up from the chair, walking out and staring at Rex with a pitiful countenance."Idiot. Thank God the secret was revealed," Rex blurted out. He sighed in relief and continued what he was doing.After an
"So as the phone kept beeping, I couldn't resist picking it up to mute the sound because it was disturbing me in my work," he paused, heaving his head in relief. "So as I picked it, and upon dragging down the notification bar, only for me to catch sight of a shocking message," he narrated."And what was the message about? I mean, what did the message say, and from whom was it sent?" Ava was already getting pissed off by Rex's inability to go straight to the point."It was her lover—the one who actually impregnated her. They even went as far as forging a lie to loot two million dollars from me. However, Miriam added an extra one million dollars to it, making it three million dollars." He let out a heavy breath as he was done narrating the story."Like really? All these happened today in your office."Ava questioned, and her eyes broadened in surprise."Definitely, she really wanted to frame me up and milk the hell out of me," Rex responded."You're fortunate, really fortunate! Next tim
"I just received a call from Miss Ava, and she said she had been dialing your line, but it was not reachable," she stated."Okay, what is the problem?" he questioned, rushing out of the restroom with a towel on his waist. He was so confused that he nearly ran out of the restroom naked."She said an anonymous individual just moved out a huge amount of money from the company's account, and that they had..."What!" Rex exclaimed in agony. Who could be doing this to me? No, they can't render my company down. I shall find the root of this," he growled."Don't worry, Cecilia. Thanks for the heads up; I'm going to the company right now," he said."Alright, sir, I hope this is resolved and the money is revived," Cecilia remarked and left.Rex quickly unwrapped the towel from his waist and dressed up to visit Polite Group. He wanted to know how and the exact amount of money his company had been duped of.However, he didn't even bathe anymore because of how desperate he was to visit the company.
At 2:00 p.m., Rex and Tyga were done eating and were coming out of the restaurant after he had paid. They entered the car and continued their voyage. A few minutes later, they arrived at the school, and Tyga parked the car in the parking lot and waited for Rex while he went inside to consult the school HOD. *** It was already mid-evening when Rex came out of the HOD office. However, Tyga had been worried; he was about to call Rex to find out if he was really safe in there. From Rex's countenance, Tyga could figure out that his issue had been sorted out. "Let's go now, everything is sorted," Rex told Tyga, holding an envelope. "I'm glad your problem is resolved, young master," Tyga responded. They entered the car and stormed off to the estate. However, inside the car, Rex's phone began ringing. He brought it out and discovered it was Ava. He sighed and picked up the call. "Hello, babe," he said. "Good evening, dear," she said. "I called to know if there was any update concerning
At Polite Business Group,Rex was in his office with Caroline, the accountant. They were estimating what they had lost in total from the anonymous hackers and scammers."Caroline, this is really a huge loss for the company. Do you think we can even survive this?" Rex let out a sigh as he couldn't believe what his eyes saw—he couldn't believe that the amount the scammers looted was that big.Just as he finished lamenting, his phone rang. However, he ignored the call because he wasn't in the mood to answer any calls. He was so shattered that he craved isolation. All he had in mind to do at the moment was, after the estimation with Caroline, go straight to a bar and drink himself to a stupor, then go back to his house and sleep till the next day.Meanwhile, Rex had not mentioned the issue to his grandfather. After all, he didn't want anything that would result in the old man being worried because he knew that would cause his blood pressure to escalate.After a few minutes had passed sinc
