"Can I get two cups of coffee?" Andrea asked.

"Sure, sir, sure, we'll get to you in a short time," she replied.

Andrea noticed she wasn't paying attention to him while answering. Instead, she was seriously staring at Rex in admiration, who was busy admiring the gorgeous interior of the hotel.

The receptionist looks like she has been captivated by the Prince Charming.

"Sir, what do we offer you, too?" she asked, knowing he came with Andrea. She desperately wanted to exchange even a greeting with him.

Rex turned, the question brought back his lost memory that was lost in the admiration of the hotel's interior designs.

With his hand shoved in his pocket out of shyness, like a middle school boy trying to get his first love.

"No, I came with him," he replied, pointing toward Andrea.

The way the female receptionist stared at him in admiration made him to be shy.

He rushed to Andrea, and they were escorted by an attendant who helped them to get a position where they would sit.

"Wait, so you mean as big as this hotel; there's no chance for new guests that came late, as big as it is?" Rex asked Andrea.

"That's it; we are even lucky there was a vacant place for us; if not, we would have to go back and look for a random hotel," Andrea enunciated. Just then, they saw a beautiful brown-colored lady who wore the waitress uniform with an apron and walked majestically to their table.

The Range Global JD Hotel was the most famous in Bloomsbury, where the university is located, and not everyone could afford to buy a bottle of water from it. Specifically, it is meant for celebrities.

The hotel was lovely, with a well-furnished interior and exterior. The lowest-ranked worker in the Range Global JD hotel can afford to buy a typical flat in a West African country's capital city. That is to say, the lowest-ranked worker in the Range Global JD hotel earns a minimum of what a business tycoon in Pretoria, South Africa, makes in a month, and in Nigeria, among the prominent men in Lagos, Nigeria.

As the waitress approached, she dropped the glittering cups of coffee on the table.

"Sir, is there anything else you need to request?" she asked, facing Rex's direction. Did she even think Rex was the boss while Andrea was his employee?

"Sir, I'm asking you, and pardon me if I got on your nerve," she added, staring at Rex with a cheerful expression.

"Sorry, I'm... I'm not the...

"Oh yeah, that's my boss; he doesn't like being addressed as a highly reputable person; that's why he didn't respond to you," Andrea cuts in.

"On our way here, he asked me to act as the boss in disguise while he acted like a low-profile individual," he added, he was fast enough to cover Rex who nearly exposed himself; he didn't want him to tell them he was poor here through his actions and words.

Rex was dismayed upon seeing how Andrea was addressing him. Out of shame, he couldn't stop gazing at the coffee cup he was holding.

"Oh, ok, sir, so does he need anything else?" the waitress asked.

"Yes, also get him a bottle of champagne," Andrea added.

Immediately, Rex almost gasped out of excitement.

"We have three brands, sir: Alumia Champagne, which costs $1,000.

We also have...

"It's ok! Get him Elon Musk brand," Andrea cuts in, preventing the waitress from the long talks.

"That's the most costly brand on board, sir, which costs $3,000."

"Just go in there and get me what I ordered," Andrea enunciated.

"Consider it done, sir," the waitress nodded and left to get what Andrea sent her.

Rex was paralyzed on hearing those prizes: "Just for a drink?" he wondered. He could not believe someone could fork out such an amount to get him a drink, which is an amount he barely saved in months.

"Bro, what is the meaning of what you just displayed now?"

Andrea laughed and said, "Must you embarrass yourself everywhere to be seen as humble or loyal?"

"There's this phrase that says, 'How you address yourself is how the people will treat you.' So always make it your aim to hide your identity in some places, it would not cost you anything to refer the waitress to me without any explanation. She doesn't need a f*ckin' explanation; that is not her work here," Andrea said calmly, and Rex nodded in affirmation.

The waitress appeared with the bottle of champagne, as requested by Andrea; she placed it on the table in front of Rex and left.

Rex was terrified upon seeing the champagne, it had been ages since he had taken champagne. He could remember their final day in college, a celebration was hosted by the head of the school, for all the students passing out. That was the first and last time he tasted champagne. He knew Andrea was financially stable, but he never imagined Andrea could afford to buy what those who live extravagant lifestyles buy, not even for himself or his girlfriend but for another person, being him.

Andrea was among the top-rated bestsellers in graphic designing on Upwork, with hundreds of stable clients. Andrea was not just a bossy person like Kanye West, who overrated himself as the wealthiest student at the University of London. No wonder he always supports Rex when he is urgently in need, mainly regarding food.

They were still discussing when an attendant approached them and handed Rex an envelope, which they utilized for delivering messages to their existing customers.

Andrea opened the letter and he sighed upon reading it.

Message: [Please, sir, I'm sorry for interrupting your good times, this is to inform you that your time has been exhausted. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. There are tons of our clients out there who are patiently waiting for their turn; however, you can renew your session and enjoy your moment with us.]

"What's the letter about?" Rex asked out of curiosity.

"Oh, our session has expired," Andrea replied.

"So what do we do now, I told you I wasn't comfortable here at first, now see what you led us into" Rex panicked

""Relax, man, chill yourself; we can renew that. You know, I've been planning for a day like this, but my schedule was too tight especially the school; being a freelance graphic designer and a student at the same time is really not easy,"

"I understand, it's not easy, the stressful projects, the assignments, and attending lectures. It's really stressful, bro," Rex responded.

Just then, a police siren was heard and they paused to know if everything was alright in the hotel.

Immediately, Rex saw cops with pistols in their hands, followed by Kanye West.

The police officers didn't waste any time, and they followed the order commanded by the celebrity student. They cuffed Rex and dragged him to their van. One of the hotel attendants blocked the corps from moving, demanding to know the reason for arresting one of their clients."Excuse me, Mr., but this is a violation, and we don't allow that here to talk more about doing that to our customers; therefore, you have ten seconds to dilute the violations you are causing or else face the company's action.""Get out of the way, or you face my wrath now," Kanye poke-nosed."We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by us; we are the police officers, trying to bring justice to th

    Rex adjusted his pants to his waist, making sure they did not slip down when he got inside. His pants have been too big for him because of the hunger he experienced at the police station. Kanye West made sure he starved that day by telling the police not to offer Rex anything. Rex stayed in detention for twenty-four hours, which was against the rule of the country, but who is Rex to defend his rights, being a wretched nobody? He managed to hold his pants firmly on his waist and returned to Jackson."Are we good to go?" Jackson asks Rex."We can go now " Rex answered politely. They entered the building, and Rex nearly ran out immediately. The adorning chandelier hanging on the ceiling and other decorative lights lit up the parlor; he never imagined the interior would be that fascinating.

The bathtub, which was designed in silver, and the wall mirror, which was carved in a rectangular shape to show the full human contour and be more visible,He went back to the room after the amazing shower; he could not recall ever showering in such a beautiful bath in his life. He opened the window and gazed out to fully observe how beautiful the building was, as he could not observe it last night."Yes! Thank God today I'm off from the semester so I could admire and observe everything about and inside this building," he uttered and let out a grin.'Knock!–Knock!–Knock!'

    As instructed by his boss, Jack toured Rex around the building, showing him everything in the compound, before bringing him back so he could have a crucial conversation with his grandfather. "So, Rex, my son, if I may ask, how much do you have in your bank account currently?" Mr. Alphonsus inquired. Rex smiled and gazed down at the floor. He found it funny that his grandfather still refers to him as someone who left a penny at home to talk more of the bank. "Sir, uh, sorry, Father, my account had been deactivated five months ago as the result of being dormant, and I haven't saved anything again to open a new account," he replied. "This is disheartening," he uttered, waving his head with a pitiful expression. "Well, Jack will take you out to Polite Shopping Mall now, for better shopping, this...

    Rex hissed and signaled Jackson to leave Cassandra so they could continue where they were going. Cassandra stood there with her mouth wide open, she did not expect Rex to react that way; she expected he would prove he was now rich or he was faking. They reached the Polite shopping mall, and Rex stared and admired every beautiful thing in the building. He was only admiring the beauty of it, he had not even walked inside, where he would shop for what he wanted. Jack waited patiently as Rex turned his head left and right, adorning the building. He walks beside him with his black spectacles, which cover every inch of his eyes. The spectacles are capable of scaring anyone close to him, adding to his unsmiling face; indeed, his job as a bodyguard fits him. They stepped inside where Rex would shop for what he wanted, and he got excited about how intriguing the inside looked, which caused him to gasp. He had been fascinated by the world of business.

    Rex doubted what he just heard; he wondered how he could be the reason why different prominent men were dragged out of the mall. "Jackson, it's obvious you don't know my type of person. Well, I do not blame you for that, because we just met yesterday, but let this be the last time you prank me and talk more about doing it in public," he clarified with a serious expression. Kanye West burst out laughing on hearing Rex; he seemed to be enjoying the drama that was about to happen between Rex and Jackson, not minding that he was in an organized and big place. "He is even cautioning the person that brought him here; I said that he would surely embarrass this man here, poor Rex; he has even forgotten he is doing that in public; he doesn't know how here works; before evening, I know their news will circulate the internet." He let out a chuckle and continued: "He doesn't know how bloggers penetrate here to make secret videos of events happening here to talk more about this shameful drama th

    Inside the manager's office, he was excited to see Rex, whom he thought would be angry after the assault with a broad face."You see, Mr. Rex, you're the most tolerant person I've ever come across in my life; after a while of embarrassment, you still have a broad look on your face. I'm much happier to see you happy," Mr. Darius uttered."It's nothing, sir; after all, they are humans, so they are capable of misbehaving at times," Rex replied."Thank you once again for your understanding. Uhm, anyway, the reason why I called you for this office talk was to inform you about a deal our company has arranged lately. We've been looking for a partnership as our shareholder's percentage is dropping, and seeing your attitude here shows you're worthy of being trusted. I don't know if you'd be interested in a partnership with us.

Hence, the gate didn't recognize the car immediately when it arrived to open. The car was directed to a parking slot by the hotel attendant. Meanwhile, at an empty table, a lady was sea
