Certified card

Chapter 5

He had just entered Mr Eliott, this day definitely revealed many surprises to him.

Mr Eliott stopped his arm and looked at him for a moment, his face telling him something but he couldn't remember where he knew him from.

When he remembered, he said in a mocking tone "aren't you the slave of the Travison family? I see that you really like getting into people".

 Richard said with an emotionless face "Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't see you".

Mr. Elliot haughtily said "What's a waste like you doing in a big bank like this? Aah I see you're doing an errand for the Travison family".

"I have nothing to say to you sir, please let go of my arm I'm in a hurry" Richard said pulling his arm out of his hand.

He pulled his hand away and walked into the bank, Mr. Elliot not realizing what had just happened. How could a trash talk to him like that?

He swore angrily "What a fool, by what right does he dare speak to me like that?" He went to get into his car and left the bank in a rage.

"Hello sir can I help you?"

Richard walked in and looked left and right. A bank employee noticed him and approached him to ask him, when the employee saw that he was dressed like a tramp, she could understand that Richard was a poor man and the smile that was on his face disappeared immediately she stared at him. Richard didn't pay attention to that "please I'm here to check my account balance and to withdraw money". He says .

"Okay! Line up over there" the employee said nonchalantly and pointed at the waiting girl.

It was the end of the month and many people came to withdraw their salaries, hence the long queues.

Richard turned and looked at the long queues then turned back to the employee "I don't think I have to go line up"

The employee asked her surprised "and why is that? Are those who line up crazy?"

Richard remembered what Mr. Robert had told him and asked uncertain "As far as I know the certified card grants privileges doesn't it?"

"Yes! But given your childbirth, I don't think you have one" the employee said looking down at him.

Richard smiled and the employee was surprised, the expression on her face changed "yes if you have a certified card no need to line up. Do you have a certified card sir?"

It was not easy to have a card certified in this bank, only people who had an amount of at least 1 billion dollars in their account could, very rich people. And it was impossible for a man like Richard dressed like a tramp, a beggar to be except here he was so humble and had chosen to dress like that so as not to attract attention which was insane since the rich in these time liked to be seen with their pretty designer clothes.

When the employee was about to lead him to a room away, a laugh was heard behind them "Are you single? When you see him, can he have a certified card? What Where did he steal it? If he stole it, I'm the grandson of the Queen of England." Both turned and saw a well-dressed and elegant young man. Richard had a hard time recognizing him at first sight but staring at him, he remembered him.

He was a friend of Solomon, Hellen's little brother who had always loved Hellen, and who dreamed and continued to dream of marrying her, his name was Jonathan. But his dreams were shattered when he found out she was married and he was shocked when he found out she was married to a trash like Richard. At that moment jealousy was born in him how Hellen could be married to a waste when he was there, handsome, rich and elegant? Hellen deserved it and no one else. Sometimes with Solomon's help he hatched plans to punish Richard. But Solomon didn't know he loved Hellen, his big sister.

The employee's facial expression changed and she angrily said "sir we are not in a laugh shop here, please be serious"

"But I'm serious, if I tell you that I have a certified card, I have it. Why lie? Or do I look like I'm kidding?" Richard says a little miffed.

Hearing what he had just said, Jonathan and the other people who were in the room all burst out laughing they all thought he was crazy or insane. How could someone so badly dressed claim to have a certified card? If that wasn't madness, what was it?

The employee lost patience and became furious "sir you have exceeded the limits, how dare you talk such nonsense get out!"

When she said that, two big-arms came to stand to the left and right of Richard threatening him with a look.

Richard said annoyed "I have a certified card, I'm not lying".

Johnathan saw the anger on his face and was elated he said sarcastically "Hey! You don't judge a book by its cover, maybe he has dirty clothes and holes in it doesn't mean anything. He really can be a rich man who just wants to experience the poor life so let him prove to us that he has a certified card .

Hearing this, Richard smiled, put his hand in his panty pocket and pulled out his card. He displayed it in front of everyone, everyone was surprised and Jonathan even more so. Whispers erupted from everywhere.

"How is that possible?"

"Where did he get that card?"

"This man may be rich and playing poor."

"Maybe it's a fake card".

"Is this a real card?"

"You really shouldn't judge people just by their looks."

A man who was in the room took a closer look at Richard's card then took out his card and compared them, he noticed a small difference and said loudly "This card is a fake, compare mine and his".

At that moment many people approached to look and all saw the difference. Johnathan also pulled out his and saw that it was different from Richard's and burst out laughing, then said in a mocking tone "I was sure, that nobody has a fake card. My dear in what trash can l did you pick it up?"

The difference on his card and those of Johnathan and the gentleman in question was on the ends of the card, for Richard the ends were gold and for the others white.

Indeed Richard's card was different from these two cards because in his account he had 5 billion dollars, and also he was a member of the richest family in the city and even in the country but unfortunately the ignorant of Johnathan's class ignored him.

Richard himself was surprised to see a difference, at that moment he began to doubt his card and believed that Mr Robert had made fun of him. Then he wondered why Mr. Robert would laugh at him? Knowing more that he was going to find out and that would only amplify his hatred towards his grandfather. But he quickly pushed that idea out of his head and said serenely, "Who is it, maybe my card is better than yours."

Johnathan burst out laughing, he laughed so much that tears started to flow from his eyes "no but, that's the joke of the century. Don't be silly Richard, who are you to have a higher card than mine? You a beggar, a poor man without dignity who lives at the expense of his wife. Stop talking nonsense and instead tell us where you picked up that counterfeit card."

Richard kept smiling, which left Johnathan perplexed, he began to doubt. He turned to the bank clerk who hadn't spoken for a while, "ma'am, please tell her that her card is fake. That fool is so stubborn."

The employee took the two cards and looked at each one, she was intrigued, it was the first time she had seen a card like Richard's. She looked up at them and snapped, "I've never seen a card like this." She says showing Richard's card "but that doesn't mean it's a fake". She says this given the quality of Richard's card.

Johnathan shook his head negatively "How can you say that? Are you blind? It's obvious that his card is Contraband".

Richard said in a defiant tone "but what's going on Johnathan? You're scared? You've lost your patience? Where did your confidence go?"

Johnathan was surprised when he noticed that Richard was still smiling, he said "if you prove to me that this is a real card, I kneel before you and I apologize and if you are wrong, you kneel before me and you call me big brother.

Richard didn't want to waste his time making silly challenges, he refused his offer "sorry I won't play your ridiculous games"

"Ah! I knew it, I was right your card is wrong" Johnathan said to provoke him.

Richard angrily says "my card is not fake".

"Eh bah! Then prove it! If the rules of my game do not please you, then I will change them" Johnathan said with a mischievous smile then resumed "if you are right you ask me what you want, and if I "I'm right, you're divorcing Hellen. Deal?"

Richard thought for a moment then accepted the new rules of his little game, he had an idea of ​​what he was going to ask him after winning, Because he knew his card was true and surely above Johnathan's .

  

Johnathan asked the employee in an authoritative tone "where is the manager of this bank"

"It's me, I'm here" said a voice from the entrance of the room.

They turned around and saw a man in his late fifties, dark glasses, black suit and two bodyguards by his side. He was the manager of this bank. Seeing him, Johnathan smiled.
