Tricked "What's the matter?" asked Laura, noticing the look on her sister's face. She snatched the bill from the waiter and looked shocked upon reading the final amount, her eyes widened in surprise " H… how much'.Catherine was just right in time, her jaw dropped when she heard the amount "It's a joke she said" quickly recovering her composure. " Very funny", she said sarcastically to the waiter."There are four of you, and you picked the most expensive dishes on the menu", said the waiter calmly. " You picked our finest lobster, caviar, escargot, and more. Don't forget the bottle of red wine you choose which costs hundreds of dollars alone"."No you're wrong," Catherine said bluntly. The manager gave us that, remember?" "Yes" agreed Samantha, could you call him over? Because I think there's been a misunderstanding here, how could you possibly give us that amount!".The words were barely out of her mouth when the manager walked into the room a little too quickly for Brian's liking
Second lossHelen looked at her boss with a puzzled expression on her face. "What do you mean?" "He's a nobody and I've been talking to him for a while now". Her confusion was evident, she was beginning to feel uncomfortable."I mean….. you are fired you idiot" he said, stony-faced." but….but…." Helen was dumbstruck. Natt said nothing as he continued to glare at her."Natt, are you crazy?" Helen cried, eventually finding her voice. " Do you know who I am?" I am Anderson" she shouted."Yes I know", he replied. " I know you think you're from a family of aristocrats, which is why I can't afford to keep you on my payroll". He then turned to Brian and said " "Mr. Maxwell"...." Thanks for coming to our rescue like this" Brian interrupted. " It was just a coincidence that I was able to help you recently but I really appreciate that you've just returned the favor".Natt raised an eyebrow in surprise and confusion. He looked at Brian's expression and being quick-witted, he immediately guess

The saviorAs the laughter rang out, Sandra gestured at Laura and said " I'll take the check or cash."Laura was being humiliated and her cheeks turned red in embarrassment.Sandra saw her embarrassment and felt happy. The sight of Laura's discomfort made her feel more emboldened to act superior in front of her." what? Don't you have any money?" in that case I want you to drink everything on this table" Sandra startled her with the proposition.The crowd burst into laughter, they looked at each other. And several of them thought that her actions were a little too excessive." She's going to make her drink all the wine on the table. That might be enough to kill her" someone murmured.A girl who was good friends with Sandra said: " Sandra, why didn't we order some more".Another person said," No, don't do that, it might kill her".Sandra rolled her eyes and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Just feed it to her, if one of you will make sure that she drinks it, I will give you a
Bankruptcy.He glared at Sandra more intensely " I believe we've agreed on thirty thousand dollars per Night and you ain't leaving until you pay.Sandra felt insulted "What are you saying? You are in the hospitality business, so you should have heard about the Anderson's Club business right?"" I am a member of the Anderson family and my dad gave me three credit cards and it's worth millions. Do you honestly think I won't be able to pay?".Sandra pointed at Brian and said " he's nobody, for could he afford to pay you? He is married into a family that isn't even wealthy" She then turned to the bar owner and said, "You need to ask him about the source of the money he gave you".The owner smiled and said, " Ms Anderson, are you joking? As long as he has the money he gave me I don't care how he got it, even if he stole it. You on the other hand haven't paid your bill". You promised to pay thirty thousand dollars for the rental of this place and I need that payment right now" As he said th
The new boss"I don't know what to say I'm so sorry" she responded soberly."But the money would have come from his huge property sales. I need to try my best in the future and try my best to pay the money back. I really don't wanna owe him a favor, '' she thought to herself."I don't really care about you apologizing or thanking me, that's not the problem here"."How did you get yourself in such trouble? How did it happen, what if I wasn't reachable or you had called and couldn't reach anyone".Brian threw a series of questions at her but she wasn't able to answer any.Back home, Samantha was still waiting for them in the living room when they arrived, when she discovered that Laura reeked of alcohol she immediately blamed Brian." Are you crazy?" How could you let my sister get into that state?" just what kind of a man are you?" why did you even come back, I thought I told you I didn't wanna see you any more if you left earlier"."How could you take her to go and drink with your vis
Narrow escape While Samantha was facing out with Sofia for being rude to her husband, Brian got a call and excused himself quietly "Hello Mr Maxwell, I'm your car consultant, your new vehicle consultant, your new car has arrived at the entrance of the restaurant just like you requested and all your orders have been carried out. Is there anything else I can do for you?""No there's nothing more, don't worry I'll put in a good word for you when I next see your manager".Brain didn't move too far away from them and almost everyone could hear his conversation. Noticed everyone was looking at him cautiously."Ha ha ha ha ha" Sofia laughed out loud and said "How could someone like him be putting a good word to someone's manager that's just laughable ha ha ha""Tell me, Brian, how much business did you do with the person on the phone, don't tell me it was a million dollars" Brain smiled and said casually "No it wasn't that much, it was just three hundred thousand"She laughed even harder a
Casted "Are you planning to get us killed?" Brian could take anything but there was no way he would keep quiet when his life was involved. Samantha could not utter a word as she suddenly matched the brake. Brian had to take over from his wife; she had been frustrated. When they got home Samantha ignored Brian completely."Samantha just now".......... She didn't look at him, instead, she gave a cold snort, got up, and went to her room slamming the door behind her. He was used to it, he shrugged hopelessly and went back to his room to sleep.It was already late in the night when Brian's phone rang. Apart from Samantha, there weren't many people who'd bother to call him.He picked up his phone and saw that it was a phone number without a name on it.However his expression instantly turned cold, he was familiar with the number. He had deleted the owner of the number from his contact list a long time ago.The owner of that number is called Derrick Maxwell.Brian's father had a total num
