"Wa – what's going on here?" Rex stuttered.He was surprised to see someone who seemed to be Mr. Darius, twin brother."Mr. Darius, who is this?" he managed to utter."Oh, he is my twin brother; I'm the oldest among us; we look identical, right?" Mr. Darius let out a grin.The young man was dressed in thuggish, rugged jeans with a black singlet and a handkerchief tied on his forehead. He walked past them and gave Rex a disdainful glance as if he had had a problem with him previously; however, he did not even utter a single word to them, talk more of greeting them.Rex's eyes were glued on him, and his jaw dropped as he watched the young man walk over to the gate."Mr. Rex, I'm really sorry for his mischievous acts; that's how he behaves; don't put that in mind, please." Darius gulped and apologized after he saw the shocked expression on Rex's countenance."Oh, that's fine; I was just admiring his features." Rex lied; he didn't want his friend to realize what he was thinking."He looks
"But sir, aren't you supposed to visit first so you can put your policy in place and let us know what you think of Polite? If we just continue, it can cause trouble between us," Mr. Darius from the other end said."Alright, I've heard you, Darius, but a day's function of the company can't bring misunderstanding between us; I have a lot to do, and my visit there could only be possible next week," Rex explained."Alright, sir, no problem," Mr. Darius from the other end of the call agreed.Rex hung up the phone and headed inside the majestic building; however, it was already 9 a.m."Grandpa, aren't you attending the appointment anymore? Rex asked upon seeing his grandfather sitting on his relaxation sofa chair while watching a movie."Well, I expected us to return before 8:00 a.m., but look at the time now; remember I earlier told you that I was supposed to attend the appointment before 9:00 a.m., so I decided to leave it instead of going late," his grandfather enunciated.Rex sighed. He
"Rex, to be honest, I'm really short on words, and your action still baffles me.""It's nothing, sir. It's within my reach, so I have to give it out," Rex replied humbly."Well, you can witness how beautiful our school premises are looking now, making it more beautiful than any other university in this U.K.; I'm really delighted," the Chancellor retorted."I'm more delighted, sir," Rex replied."Hold on," the school Chancellor replied, calling his messenger.He sent the messenger to assemble a few of the upper echelons of the school.Within a few minutes, they convened."I think it's yet time to make what we concluded known to Rex and also make it official to all the students; at least, it would motivate some of them to be hospitable."They made a brief clap in unison before he continued."Rex, you have been awarded the most influential student; here is your bronze award," he stated, stretching his hand to hand Rex the neatly designed medal.As soon as Rex stretched his hand and recei
Rex was still sitting on his sundeck, receiving the fresh morning breeze.It was Saturday morning, so no lecture for the day. However, Rex decided not to partake in any business activity for the day; he wanted to rest to the fullest on this day because he had been choked with work for the last week.As he crossed his legs, gently sipping his wine, suddenly his phone beeped."This early morning?" he snorted.He ignored the call, hoping the caller would end it after ringing for a while without picking up; however, the caller persisted.Rex nonchalantly picked up the call without gazing at the screen to know the identity of the caller.He placed the phone on his ear and waited for the caller to speak first."Good day. What can I do for you? Rex replied to the voice on the other end of the call."Please forgive me; I'm really sorry," the voice replied.At this point, Rex glanced at the name on the screen to see if he had done anything with the caller."Bruce? I can't remember doing any bu
"But I never requested that Grandpa," Rex said in a weak tone."But you need it, so you need to be guided," the old man replied.Rex sighed and slumped on the sofa chair."That was just all I needed to let you know; they will go with you immediately when you're leaving. Don't worry about their salary; I'll handle that."Moreover, I also employed detectives to delve further into investigating who really came to attack you on that night; everything will be revealed later; however, be mindful of how you make friends," his grandfather said, standing up and heading to his room while holding his cup of coffee.Rex let out a heavy breath and gazed at the bouncers before summoning a speech."I'm sorry for how I may have sounded. You all are welcome; are you ready to go with me?"Of course, sir, anytime, anywhere," they chorused."Hold on!" Rex told them, and he went after his grandfather."We're leaving. Don't be angry about how I responded to you over your effort to get me secured; it's just
At Polite Shopping Mall, Darius drove in with his car and quickly opened the door. He hastened to his office. The call he just answered worsened his mood.As he reached the second floor where his office was located, his heart began racing as he wondered what resulted in his assistant calling him and requesting his presence urgently and ending the call without letting him know what was happening or the need for his presence."Sir, the new boss came here and asked about you; I told him you had come to work and gone somewhere," the assistant said."Damn it! Why would you do that? Darius yelled."You should have told him I haven't come yet," he added."But sir, I thought that's what you told me to be telling the boss," the assistant retorted."That's for the old boss, man!" he replied."I'm sorry, sir," the assistant apologized.Darius walked over to his office and settled in. Just as he was about to bring out the files and arrange for what was needed in the company, his messenger knocked.
"It's okay; you all should go back to your duty posts," Rex replied, letting out a grin.He doesn't have time for unnecessary attention. By the way, he believes in the phrase "customers are always right." So he doesn't want to do anything that would make Miss Leo feel embarrassed.Immediately, he stormed off from their midst while they all still stood with their mouths wide open."It seemed you all were not happy about how the boss refrained from sacking you. Darius reverberated.The security men quickly rushed back to their duty posts.Miss Leo was still standing as the crowd began assembling. The incident that just happened still looked like a dream to her. She couldn't tell how everything happened; she was still lost in thought when the manager brought her back to reality."Miss Leo, please, I appreciate the fact you're among our top customers, but please don't get us the workers into trouble," Darius remarked and turned to leave for his office without giving her a chance to say any
"You all should go on your knees; anything you do or say shall be used against you in the law court," a policeman yelled.Rex gulped in shock. He didn't expect that to happen; he had counted himself to be in a risky situation the moment the company security men rushed to attack him.Just as he was gazing toward the policemen, Ava alighted from the car, smiling. She walked over to Rex and gave him a heartwarming hug."Thank you for saving me," Rex let out. From her expression, he realized she was the one who called the corps.The corps walked over to the spot where Mr. Thomas was lying and handcuffed him before helping him get up from the ground.He stood and shamelessly followed the corps that held him. The rest of the corps pointed their guns toward the company's security guards as they surrendered. They led them to their van while the special agent for Mr. Thomas was arrested and handcuffed as well.The corps drove off from the company, leaving Rex, Ava, and the onlookers, who were t
