“Natasha,Isabella, what are the two of you talking about?” Charles yelled furiously.
“Was I wrong,will this penniless waiter have the money to join the lunch party?”
“We have so many parties together as a class but have you ever seen him join one”Natasha responded while rolling her eyes.
“I'll pay for Richard if it doesn't have the money.Is it really necessary for all of you to humiliate him like this?” said Oliver who step forward. He could not stand them anymore.
“Hey Oliver,since you are so wealthy why don't you pay for me as well?”Dominic shouted with a poker face after he and heard what Oliver said.
Oliver turned to glance at Dominic. A hint of uncertainty flashed across its eyes.Even though Oliver's family was doing quite well,his family's wealth was nothing compared to Dominic who was from the Prestigious Prescott family therefore he could only shut up.
“I'll pay for Richard. We are all classmate.Was all of these necessary?”Christabel yelled with a frown.She could not stand them too.
Suddenly,Richard said confidently, “Christabel you don't have to pay for me I have the money!”
When Richard's classmates heard him say that,they were all stunned.All of them had strange expressions.
None of them expected Richard to agree to come to the lunch outing out of the blue!
Usually,Richard did not join them matter the kind of get-together that was held.There was only one reason behind it,he had no money.
When Dominic heard Richard say that he had the money,Dominic immediately laughed.”Yeah,right”.The poor waiter has the money to join a lunch party? Richard,how about this.Why don't you treat the whole class the meal"Dominic said to intimidate Richard.
“Dominic, don't joke around.If the pauper treats all of us to a meal,he will have to starve till death.I will definitely lick his shoe if that happens”.One of Richard's classmates shouted arrogantly.
Richard said nonchalantly, “Alright”.Since everyone wants me to treat the class to a meal that badly,then I will treat everyone to a meal!”
His classmate froze in shock on hearing Richard's words.Nobody expected Richard to agree to Dominic's request.
After Dominic heard Richard say that he would treat everyone to a meal,a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes.
He could not understand it. Why would a pauper like Richard,who works as a waiter to earn money,suddenly turn out to be someone ready to spend a lot of money on treating everyone to a meal?
Jane was looking at Richard in shock.However,she quickly regained her composure.Richard was definitely posing.How could he possibly have the money to treat everyone to a meal?
Otherwise,she would definitely feel so embarrassed right now.
In her eyes,Richard is a loser who did not strive to improve himself.Not only was he penniless,he was also poser!
“What's up with Richard today? Charles was also puzzled right now.
“I have no idea”.Maybe he can't get over how his girlfriend left him for someone else so to feel fulfilled he agreed”.
Oliver whispered.Then he added, “ Treating the whole class to a meal would just cost $2,000.In the worst case scenario,the two of us will foot the bill for him!”.
“Alright if you split it in half, it will be one thousand each.”
Charles noded.At that moment he felt a little sympathetic towards Richard.
“What's gotten into Richard? Not only are you joining the lunch party, but you're also treating us to a meal.Could it be that you are just talking big?” Isabella teased Richard with contempt.
“Yeah.If you're really treating us to a meal,then Kelvin would have to lick your shoe.” Lilian added.
Kelvin Stone was the classmate of Richard who said he will lick Richard's shoe if he treats everyone to a meal.
“Well,isn't it just a meal?” Richard responded indifferently.He then turned to Kelvin and said,"When will you give everyone a show of you licking my shoe.”
“If you have the guts to treat us then I have the guts to lick your shoe”
“However, you're not planning on taking us to a food court right?”Kelvin spoke to Richard disdainfully.
“Richard worked hard to treat us to a meal.How could we possibly go to a food court?It should at least be Seven Stars” Dominic jeered.
“Seven Stars?”
Richard could not help but shake his head when he heard Dominic words.
“Yes, exactly .Richard, if you treat us to a meal at Seven Stars I will lick your shoe with my mouth for everyone to see,"Melvin Added.
“Since you intend to treat everyone to a meal,Seven Star restaurant l shouldn't be a problem right?”asked Dominic with a vile smirk.
“No problem seven star restaurant it is!” Richard replied nonchalantly.
Once again his classmate were stunned by his words.
All of them knew that seven star restaurant was where the top and influential individuals go to for a meal.
Treating the whole class to a meal would cost at least fifty thousand dollars.How could Richard possibly afford it?.
“Has Richard gone crazy? Why did he agree to it?”Charles gasped lowly. If they went to a normal food court,both he and oliver could afford to pay for the meal if they both each paid half.
However,if it was Seven Star restaurants the two of them would not even be able to afford it even if they sold themselves for money!
“Going to seven star restaurants isn't a problem.However I have one condition”.
At that moment Richard suddenly spoke.
What's the condition Dominic aaked while looking at Richard.
“For today's lunch party at Seven Star restaurant,you and I divide the check by fifty-fifty how does that sound?”.
“Fifty-fifty is fine by me”
Dominic sneered and said with contempt, “Not a problem.The cost for today's lunch party,we will split it fifty-fifty.
“Dominic you are a champ!”
“Wow I'm actually going to dine at seven star restaurants!”
Their classmates burst into cheers when they heard what Dominic said.
A meal at seven star restaurant with this many people would cause at least $50,000.
Even though it was only half of the check it still amounted to more than twenty thousand.
Even though this pained Dominic a little, it did not mean that he could not afford the amount.On the contrary, he feels like Richard could not shell out the amount of money.
“Richard just you wait. I will see what you will do when we pay for the check later!”
Dominic looked at Richard back and smirked.
It wasn't long, they arrived at the most famous restaurant in Willowbrook,Seven Star restaurant.The moment Richard classmate entered seven star restaurant,their eyes were wide in astonishment.Even though many in WillowbrookUniversity were from wealthy family,it did not mean that all students were very wealthy.There were student from average income families who had never been to a place like that.Meanwhile,Charles and Oliver were trailing behind Richard with anxious expressions.“Richard do you really have enough money to treat everyone to a meal?” Oliver hesitated before whispering to Richard.“Don't worry.Since I dared to come, I must have the money to foot the bill,Richard responded calmly. Just as Oliver wanted to speak further, a beautiful lady in white dress walked over Richard and everyone else with a smile.When the beautiful Lady saw Richard,a hint of contempt flashed across her eyes.She then turn to Dominic and bowed while saying, “Mr Prescott are you here for a meal?”
Everyone started eating at once after all food was served.They did not care if Richard and Dominic could pay but they just enjoy themselves as long as you were not the ones who would pay for it.Jane was sitting next to Dominic.Her expression was awful as she knew that Dominic could not afford to pay for today's meal.Even if Richard could pay for it,he will probably have to spend all his savings.Was it worth spending all his savings just to save face?Thinking about it,Jane looked at Richard with even more disdain.She felt that Richard should not have competed with a rich kid like Dominic.Even if he won this time, it would not change the fact that he was a poor guy.One hours into the feast,everyone had their fill.They all looked at Richard and Dominic starting to worry that they would not have the money to settle the bill. The beautiful lady who attended to them earlier walked up to Richard and Dominic in her high heels and she said in soft voice “The total bill is one hundred and
When Charles,Oliver and Christabel saw that Richard was leaving they hurriedly followed.“Wait for us,Richard” Charles called out as he ran out of the private room.Richard looked at Charles with smile and asked, “What's up”“Where did you get that amount of money?”Was it because Jane broke up with you?” Charles frown asked with concern.“It has nothing to do with Jane,”Richard let out a faint smile. “I won the lottery yesterday so now I have money”He did not want to reveal himself,so he made up an excuse to explain it.“No wonder” Christabel nodded and scratched her chin thoughtfully. “Since you have money now,you should look better than this.Shop for better clothes and shoes so that you can look better.You shouldn't waste it treating everyone for lunch.“I didn't think about it that much,” Richard replied to her with a smile.“No wonder you have the money to invite everyone for dinner,” said Oliver.“Is there anything else?” If not ,I will go now.Richard was afraid that his cover st
Christabel had earlier told Richard to use the money he has to take care of himself.Richard noticed that he needed to change his outfit for a start so that he could be looking much better.Richard has just finished spending on an expensive phone but it will be nice if he also gets more decent clothes for himself.As he walked down, he noticed a mall. It was a famous shopping mall around the country.Crystal spring mall was only used by the top and influential people in the country but since Richard has a lot of morning now he strongly believes that he could afford any items in the mall.As he stepped to the mall,he was stopped by the security men.“What will a peasant like you be doing in such a prestigious mall as this” the security man said as he cast his gaze at Richard looking at the shabby clothed guy.“I'm here to get some clothings for myself so it will be nice if you would allow me in” Richard replied still composed.“Look here boy this is a luxurious mall that I think an ave
The security man regretted that he had looked down on Richard.“Sir, you can enter the mall now,” the security man said, his voice cracking with emotion.“Sir!”Richard was surprised,why the sudden change of behavior towards him perhaps James had reached out to the manager and related his agony.Richard thought to himself.“Is there any way I can help you sir”the security man said, trying to get back into Richard's good book.Definitely he doesn't want a powerful man like Richard to still remain angry with him.The security man knew that for Richard to have such an influence to reach his manager then it's possible he also has influence to make his manager fire him from work.“I'm sorry for looking down on you. I don't normally behave like this, I'm just affected by the family issue I'm currently facing. Please find a way in your heart to forgive me.” The security man pleaded with sincerity.“All right, I've heard all that you said. You can stop now. I have pardoned you but don't make t
As the manager came close to the scene where the customers were gathered he noticed a strange face. It was just like they have described Richard to be. A simple young man with a mid clothing and gentle look.The manager knew that it wasn't comfortable for him to review the true identity of Richard Morgan in front of everyone.His true identity was still hidden from the others; only managers of businesses under the Morgan Empire knew that Richard was their new chairman and the new chairman of the whole Morgan Empire.The manager was surprised that people were gathered together but that wasn't his problem for now.His major concern was Richard and how to gain favor from him.He went straight up to Richard and slightly bowed to him.“Mr Richard sorry for wasting your time, I immediately started coming on hearing your present at the Mall.”the manager said politely.Everyone watching and gathering at the scene was struck with confusion.“Why would the manager of this Prestigious Mall bowed
Richard was laid out by James and the hefty bodied men he came along with.“I did not expect to see you here,”Richard said with surprise.He never expected James to leave whatever he was doing and come all the way down to the mall just to prevent him from being humiliated.“I have to come the moment you told me that you weren't allowed into the Crystal Spring Mall all”James replied firmly.“It wasn't really a big deal. You shouldn't have bothered yourself coming but I still appreciate that you came around”Richard said with a warm smile on his face.“Can I drop you at your place?”James asked.“You know I wouldn't be able to follow you because this area is close to my school and my hostel and I wouldn't want anybody to notice us together” Richard uttered.“If that is what you want then I don't have a problem with that” James said.“I also want to inform you that if you are in any trouble you could reach out to my son Nicholas.” James said.Richard was confused because he knew of many Ni
Richard had placed a call on Nicholas.Christopher, who had maltreated them by beating them up, decided to wait patiently for whoever Richard was going to call.Christopher was confident that Richard wasn't going to call anyone that would be able to beat him up.Christopher was no doubt very strong and he also had men around him. He was known as the school bully and normally loans out money to students who don't have enough then ask them back for the money with interest on it.Richard has just finished paying Christopher what they owe him with an interest on it but now Christopher was asking for too much.Christopher couldn't wait anymore and as he was about to tell his name to continue beating Richard and his friends they heard a sound. It was the sound of footsteps approaching the room.They had to stop to see who it was. Suddenly the room door was wide open and everyone's eyes widened in anticipation to see who it was.Then Nicholas wood,a multi awarded martial art students came in
