Teacher Vivian recovered from her shock and glared at her husband. "What are you waiting for? Shouldn't you carry your own luggage?""Um..." Richard's face was turning a shade of red as he hurriedly grabbed the bags Alex was carrying."Y-You must be tired, junior brother?" Richard wanted to keep his dignity, so he was making excuses not to be obvious. Furthermore, he had no idea about Alex's identity; he was horrified inside thinking about offending someone he shouldn't have. However, would Alex not notice what Richard was thinking? So he feigned ignorance and stated it in a calm voice. "Tired? Not at all. I can carry it for you all the way."Richard was stunned then, his back broke a cold sweat as he felt like crying with no tears. Not to mention, his wife was glaring at him."I-I'll carry it from here, please." Richard uttered, and at the end of his sentence, his voice was the sound of a mosquito; it was barely audible. On the other hand, Teacher Vivian came forward and faced Alex
The guests in the Golden Paradise were stunned, and then they started to hang their heads down, terrified at this group of mafia-like men. They didn't want to get into trouble themselves, so they walked a bit further from the entrance.On the other hand, the employees were intimidated, not to mention that they had just seen the guards of the Golden Paradise outside groaning in pain. Clearly, they were beaten up.The senior manager gathered his courage. "Sir, please leave you're scaring the guests; if you don't, I'm afraid I would have to call the polic-"Before the senior manager could finish speaking, Alex cut him off. "It's alright, manager Kevin; from here, I'll handle this." Listening attentively to Alex's words, senior manager Kevin immediately bowed in Alex's direction and spoke politely. "Yes sir. Please excuse my rudeness." Alex turned his attention to this fellow, who was a member of the Crown family and must likely be his cousin...Alex never imagined meeting his cousin a
"I hate my job..." Alex mumbled while stretching his hands out. He glanced at his office laptop's time. He frowned. Here he was working late again. Seriously, he had to work his a*s off and barely make a living out of it. 'I hope my boss will be pleased with my proposal.' Alex faintly smiles while thinking positively about the future. He will soon achieve a very good result for the company! Suddenly, Alex's co-workers, not too far away from his desk area, shouted out loudly and surprisingly. They didn't hold back their voices. "Go for it! You're the man, Sir Bruce!" "You have our full support, Sir Bruce!" "They would be a perfect couple!" Alex's co-workers were worked up. They were expressing their opinion and full support. At the same time, they show their admiration while casually watching their phones with bated breath! On the side, Alex was raising his brows. What were they doing? For goodness sake, if they want to cause a commotion, they should at least do it outside,
The Lovers Dream Hotel was famous throughout the city; at the entrance, rich couples that came from prominent backgrounds could be seen going back and forth. Suddenly, a yellow-colored taxi stopped at the entrance. A young man with disheveled hair got out of the vehicle; it was Alex. He was mumbling incoherently while biting the tips of his fingers in nervousness."No, I refuse to believe it!" Alex mumbled stubbornly. He wanted to cling to the fact that Sarah wouldn't betray him.Alex didn't notice the sneer that those rich couples were giving him or their remarks about how shabby he looked. He was too busy scanning the people who were eating at their leisure at the table.Just then, Alex's eyes stopped at the two figures.Shenna was far away at the door of the dining room. She held a glass of champagne and cheered with Bruce. They looked very intimate. The moment Alex saw those two clasping hands together, he was furious; he wanted to immediately rush into the restaurant to interru
Alex stood up while patting any dust off his pants, but the man in front of him who asked the guard to "release him" was, surprisingly, Bruce, the son of the CEO. Bruce was standing in front of Alex, with a hand on Shenna's waist affectionately, while his other hand held his latest model phone, filming Alex close for the live broadcast he started on DukDuk. Alex had a broken expression that was mixed with bitterness and hate, as he glanced at his lover, Shenna, in another man's arm. She was wearing a very expensive dress—wasn't that the dress that he had bought for her?He had to break his back and work overtime, spending two months of his salary to barely pay for it, only because she said she wanted it. What kind of man would he be if he couldn't even provide a girl with a dress that she liked? Yet...'How ironic...' Alex mumbled to himself.It turned out that her lover, Shenna, simply wanted this dress to date Bruce, the son of the CEO.Alex could only smile bitterly as he watche
After Bruce got the wind knocked out of him.The expensive phone that had been aimed at Alex the whole time falls on the ground while the live feed is still turned on to record what Alex did.Alex didn’t know there were several comments on the live video, and they were anything but good, for example, using words like..."This guy is too violent!" "That's horrible! Why would he do such a thing to the son of the CEO!""How can we have such a disgusting person in our company?"Things like that went on; they were clearly adding insult to injury by questioning Alex's character and his morals and smearing dirt on his reputation.At this time, the restaurant manager came with a bunch of staff. He scowled at Alex, who was sprawled on the ground as security kept pinning him down. Not wasting his time with Alex, who was an eyesore to him, he hastily bowed toward Bruce. "S-Sir, Bruce I apologize for this rude thing, which is misconduct!" The manager profusely apologized."Hmmph, you should
Chapter 5Alex became undeterred as he gritted his teeth and called for the second time.Fortunately, his colleague answered his phone call. Alex's eyes lit up as he hurriedly explained that he would need 15,000 dollars to bail out.".... Brother Louise, please help me; I swear I'll return the money as soon as possible!" Alex desperately said through the phone; he nearly yelled at the end of his sentence."...."There was a long silence as though Brother Louise was contemplating whether to help him or not. After all, 15 grand wasn't a small amount of money that one could easily fork out. Alex felt like he was stopping on needles as he waited for Brother Louise's response. Soon, Alex heard Brother Louise's voice through his somewhat old phone."Don't call me again, and if you still dare call me again, I swear... damn it, this will get me fired!" Brother Louise's tone of voice sounded nervous as he spoke through the phone.Alex becomes devastated and desperate. He didn’t know what he c
The man who got out of the car was none other than Bruce, and as though it wasn't enough, this b*stard even brought his lackeys with him! Alex clenched his jaws; it seems that Brother Louise, his colleague, had already betrayed him...'Look at this pretentious clown acting like a hero.' Alex's brows twitched; he was incensed at this fellow's shamelessly calling Shenna his "woman".Alex shook his head as he adjusted his wild emotions—why was he even getting angry thinking of Shenna?He hated himself for still having some lingering feelings left for her!On the other hand, after receiving that punch from Alex, he had been harboring thoughts about how he was going to teach this mere "nobody" a lesson."I never thought you could get out of jail," Bruce said chillingly while narrowing his gaze. Knowing full well that Alex, who was a beggar in his eyes, didn’t have the capacity and the connection to bail out.That was the reason he let the police department issue a high fee.Yet this son o
