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
It was really a bad omen to see the Lecturer walk in just when he wanted to start his reading. He had no option but to fling the book back into his bag and pay attention to what the Lecturer had to say or offer.The man standing on the whiteboard wasted no time and spread the sheet paper for the exam and the question paper; the exam had just started.It was the hardest course Rex had been taking as he had just started it; he was admitted because of his grandfather, making it two courses of study he was partaking in at a time."Few more minutes to submit your scripts!" the professor yelled after gazing at his wristwatch.They all submitted their scripts with dissatisfied expressions; one could say they didn't know what they wrote, as sadness was written all over their faces. Indeed, the exam was really tough. However, Rex came out of the hall with a broad face. Although he was not fully prepared for the exam, he was nonetheless confident in what he wrote.After they had all submitted t
He walked into his bedroom when he realized he forgot to get permission from the school authority for the Polite Shopping Mall appointment he had. He thought of what to do but couldn't, and he concluded he would be absent from school on that day so he could attend the meeting. The meeting was so important to him because he knew how much he earns monthly by doing nothing but being part of the team as a shareholder. [Polite Shopping Mall] Different exotic cars were seen parked at the parking slot when Rex drove in with his car. He was excited to see such cars, almost equivalent to the ones his grandfather's staff uses. He thought it was only his grandfather's firm that could pay its high-ranking staff a heavy amount of money, which they would just deduct a little from and purchase the car, but he was wrong. The polite shopping mall was established by a famous English man who came into the business world probably a decade before Mr. Alphonsus came to the limelight. He strived very ha
He discussed this with the Manager and agreed to bring the buyer. Unbeknownst to the manager, Rex is about to achieve what he never expected."When will you like me to bring the buyer?" he asked."Uhm, if you could please make it to bring him next week, it would be great. Hopefully, he buys it at the estimated rate," he uttered and sighed."Alright, sir, consider it done," he uttered, shaking hands with the manager before departing from the office. However, as he departed from the manager's office and found himself in the manager's secretary's office, he removed the black pair of spectacles that covered his eyes, made a last glance at her, and smirked, causing the lady to fret; probably she was thinking Rex had just reported her to her boss.After some seconds of staring, he swung the spectacles back toward his eyes before departing from the office.Upon stepping down the staircase, he was full of joy; happiness could be seen written all over his face; he had just acquired a new proper
"Exactly, you heard me well," he replied, grinning.The man thanked him wholesomely. He did just as Rex instructed and gave him his credit card back. Rex brought his phone to check his balance, but he was amazed that the remaining amount was still huge; it seemed as if nothing had been withdrawn from it.They headed outside after the man was done withdrawing the money."I hope you'll like this one?" he asked."No, the exterior is good, but the interior is not that luxurious," Rex replied, rejecting the brand-new imported car the manager showed him."What about that over there?" Rex asked, pointing to another car."It's available also; do you like it?""Sure," he replied.It was a Rolls Royce Boat Tail, which is the one he asked for during their phone conversation.The man handed him the car keys as he had already paid for them, though the amount he paid was two times bigger than what the car was worth; indeed, the man really cashed out big from Rex.Also, he went inside his office and
He arrived at the school and realized the lecture had not even started yet. He sighed and headed to his seat. It didn't take up to two minutes after he arrived that the lecturer walked in.As the professor walked in, his first statement got the students curious."Who is Rex Humphrey here?" he questioned.Many of the students glared in Rex's direction, and some were left with negative thoughts as they thought the person the lecturer asked had committed something unimaginable."Kindly stand up if you are the one, please," he added.Rex stood up with his legs trembling. He was also curious why he became the first topic the lecturer discussed at the beginning of the lecture.However, the students were left stunned as the lecturer made a remark they never expected; it was nothing but the same remark that annoys them."I must commend you for being an amazing student; you really deserved an award," the lecturer declared, causing a massive stir among the students. They hate being among those
Rex made his way home with his new car. Today was quite different because no rumor was circulated. He concluded that it was because they never knew he was the owner of the brand-new Rolls – Royce Boat Tail. The week was hectic for Rex; he had been trying to catch up on two things at a time. He drove into his building, parked in his garage, and headed upstairs— to his room. He started going through his business documents; he was searching for other firms to visit – firms under the Alphonsus consortium. "Still many uncompleted tasks," he sighed as he realized he hadn't even visited half of his father's firms. "What am I even doing to myself? Yes, I know school is important, but I should assemble my properties first before proceeding with my studies; what if I don't get a high-paying job after school?" he thought. "Only his firms; I never even knew all of them, much less his acquisitions," he thought, glaring at the last document he was holding and sighing heavily. However, he deci
He woke up the next morning, preparing to accomplish his planned routine for the day.He piled up the documents concerning Macro Firm in his suitcase and stormed off to the company. He left early today because he had another appointment he had to accomplish.As he drove into the company, he was astounded by what he noticed.The security men honored him like an army general; their kind gesture baffled him so much that he smiled and waved at them.Upon stepping into the hall where the meeting he would be having with the executives of the staff – the upper echelons of the macro firm—would be held, he met them already there waiting for him."Wow, these people look and act more respectful than those on BOD Gas Company; I guess it's because of the money they're making there that makes them lack principle. I think it's time to decrease their salary," a monologue echoed in his mind."Despite being way older than me, they all gave me this kind and warm welcome," Rex muttered as he stared at th
