Rex drove back to his apartment feeling relished; he really enjoyed the event and became more satisfied as he reminisced about how all eyes were glued on his car as he drove in."Wow, this feels so good; being rich is really good; life is sweeter when you have money," he muttered as he was munching the Kobe beef A5 Wagyu Tomahawk, which is the highest quality beef made from a specific type of cattle from a certain region of Japan, with a chilled bottle of wine he brought out from his refrigerator."Come to think of it, it's time I look for a chef, for I will not continue buying food daily. What if they plot to poison me if they eventually find out the truth about me?" he mumbled.Unexpectedly, his phone rang. Curious about who it might be, he quickly gulped the sandwich in his mouth so he could answer the call freely."Hello, yes, Rex Humphrey, yes, the grandson of Mr. Alphonsus, the CEO of Alphonsus and Co. LTD., what do you mean? Ok, I'll be there tomorrow," he concluded and ended th
Immediately, there was a group of people with a very beautiful lady accompanying them; this put Rex in dismay, as he wasn't expecting to see anyone among them."We heard what happened, and we're really sorry for what happened; thankfully, you weren't injured," the first guy stated."Rex, please next time minimize your speeding limit if you don't yet know how to drive; we're really sorry," the lady remarked with a deadpan attitude.Rex smiled as he just heard what Cassandra said— the same Cassandra that locked him up in the police station with his boyfriend and always trolled him at school. Did Cassandra really come for solace, or did she come to know if Rex was too injured for her taste?Rex knew her intention already and wasn't deceived by her game of deceptive lies. He knew deep down Cassandra wanted him dead; the hatred even increased more on the day of the charity program, when she sighted him at the charity event with the car and her mood changed, sad about Rex's development, but
Just then, his phone flashed a notification light, and he waved to Jackson to excuse him; he had been expecting the notification since the morning before he left for his company's meeting.He tapped the notification icon, and he frowned. It was his grandfather who dropped a message for him, not the person he was expecting."Hello Son, I've been calling after an hour you told me you were on your way, but couldn't reach you, it did ring but no picking up. However, I decided to drop this message and I hope you'll see it, I hope you're in a good state, concerning the meeting, it was canceled as you were absent, so I told them to cancel it, kindly reply if you've read this message, grandpa cares"Rex let out a deep breath and texted him back; at least his mind could calm down knowing that he was safe, but he decided to keep the accident topic a secret among all of them, not excluding Jackson.As soon as he sent the message, his grandfather replied instantly, showing he had been anticipating
The class representative made a disheartening announcement to them."Class, it's confirmed that the lecture we have been waiting for will no longer hold."Immediately after he remarked, there was a joyful stir from some unserious students, from which Kanye wasn't excluded; however, the class representative broke the final sad news."A report came to me just now from the school authority saying Professor Hills was hit by a car whilst coming to school today; as the car was moving at high speed, he couldn't survive the attack, which resulted in him dying instantly," he concluded.As he ended his speech, the hall was filled with deafening silence."This means no lectures throughout this week until they get us a new professor," Rex muttered, leaving the hall.He decided to visit his very good friend as he had canceled his appointment at the company. He had been planning this surprise for weeks; fortunately, the lecture was not held, which helped him achieve his surprise for Andrea. It was A
Rex went home and started preparing for the next day's meeting; his grandfather had already told him to comport himself and maintain a high reputation while conducting the staff."Hopefully I'll be bold enough to talk and maintain a CEO's attitude to them; this is my first time working in a firm; hmm, not even just working but attending as the CEO; how am I going to stand in the presence of those high-ranking, reputable men for goodness sake? This is one of the reasons I was trying to dodge this meeting, but Grandpa kept persisting with me," he mumbled."Ok, first thing, walk in, take a seat, wait for them all, and then start presenting my speech. No! Not that way; that does not sound pleasing at all. First thing, walk in, be greeted by them all, ignore them, and head to the special seat meant for me," Rex mumbled as he practiced how to maintain a CEO's appearance and attitude."Well, when the time comes, the spirit will lead," he concluded, and he started browsing his social media app
He couldn't help but ignore the message, as he had a lot still bordering him, and went to bed.Rex Woke up the next morning earlier than he usually does and hurriedly took his bath. He ate the sumptuous meal he bought at the restaurant while coming back from Andrea's birthday party. Though he had said he would not buy food from restaurants as he was afraid of being poisoned, he had no choice as he had nothing left at home to eat on that very day.He started preparing for the meeting by going through the files given to him by his grandfather. He was checking the list of shares his grandfather had under Mr. Alphonsus and Co. Ltd. without checking his phone to see if there was a new message on his media account."Thankfully, my hair is still nice and clean," he uttered while wearing the black, elegant suit he recently bought just for the meeting.He checked himself in the wall mirror after dressing, and he was pleased with how he looked. The suit was neatly ironed, and it matched the pair
The two young ladies apologized to him for coming late and explained to him why they were running."We are sorry, sir; our car broke down on the road this morning while we were coming, and we couldn't board a cab as there was no available cab at the moment, so we decided to trek to work. Rex's aura was assuaged upon hearing their honest pleading; a few minutes later, the rest came in, they apologized as well for late coming and stood up until Rex sat down, they knew how powerful Rex was as the only heir of the founder of the firm. He waved them to sit, and without much delay, the meeting started. They discussed various topics concerning the company's development and told Rex how much the company makes as profits after paying taxes and other necessary expenses, and Rex became pleased upon hearing about the company's daily revenue.Furthermore, Rex thought various things about the company and the shareholders in it, but he decided to bring up the topic in their next meeting. After ever
He wanted to accept the call, but after thinking for a while, he decided to ignore it, as he didn't know how furious Ava might be and he did not want anything to interrupt the good conversation he was having with his very good friend Andrea."I'll call you when I'm ready again; besides, I don't even know why I agreed on this date when I know I'm a very busy person," he muttered."Oh, Andrea, we should have started this conversation with a chilled wine," he remarked and stood up immediately, heading to the wine bar.Andrea tried to stop him, but he had already reached where he was going, so he had no option but to keep calm while Rex brought the wine. Rex returned with a bottle of Champaign because he knew that was Andrea's favorite drink; he did it to also remind Andrea about the Champaign he gifted him many months ago. They popped it and started drinking after cheering.After an hour passed, they were both already drowsy. Rex led Andrea to one of
