On arriving at his hostel,he discovered that everywhere was quiet and no one was left at home.He was surprised that they left for the class on time but when he tried to check his wrist watch he discovered that he had 10 minutes to make it to the class.
Mrs Harper class is a class no one dares to go late for because once she arrives before you you'll be left to wait outside the hall until she's done with the class.
Richard was very well aware of it and he hurriedly left his hostel for the class to see if you can still meet up with the class.He left with his bag and the bag containing the huge sum of money.
5 minutes later you're right at the classroom but he was still late when recharge got to the classroom entrance he felt the whole class staring at him
Mrs Harper was already in the classroom and as usual,Richard will not be allowed into the hall.
“Excuse me!” Richard called out as you stood by the door.
Mrs Harper have been focused on her teachings that she forget to notice
Mrs Harper stopped her teaching and turned to look at Richard.
“Do you have any idea what time it is now? Are you here to learn or to waste away your time”
“Come here, why are you still wearing your waiter's uniform? Are you here to serve us drinks or to take our orders” Mrs Harper ridiculed Richard.
She was aware that Richard worked as a waiter in a restaurant close to the school.It was a restaurant familiar to the students and the lecturers in the school.So everyone was aware that Richard worked as a waiter in the restaurant.
All the students in the class burst out laughing at Richard.
The two who laughed the loudest were Dominic and Jane.They were currently sitting in the last row of the classroom and flirting with each other.The sight of them made Richard feel bitter.That was because when Richard and Jane were still together,she had never sat with him before.
All of his classmate obviously knew about Jane dumping him
Richard was familiar with the Mrs Harperridicule.She will often ridicule him she usually look down on poor students like Richard but try to please the student from healthy families
“Get your miserable self out of my class this instant” Mrs Harpersaid furiously.
Richard had to stay outside the class while Mrs Harpertaught the whole class.He felt very bittered about this as he had made an effort to meet up with the class.
After Mrs Harperwas done teaching she walked towards the door and turned attention to Richard and gave him a stern warning not to come late for her class again or else he would have to repeat her class the next semester.
Richard entered the class after Mrs Harper left.
“Richard, are you alright?” Richard's roommate,Charles, asked after meeting him.
“I'm fine,” Richard replied.
“Where have you been all this while? I have really been worried about you.I have looked everywhere for you but no trace of you could be found”
“It's a long story, Charles but I'm good now,” Richard replied.
“Why were you late?By the way,I heard that you and Jane are no longer together”.
“Oliver, don't bring up something like that,” Charles said with annoyance.
Charles and Oliver often helped Richard in school and Richard was always indebted to them.
Charles and Oliver assumed Richard was in a bad mood, so they did not disturb him further.
The attention of everyone in the class was drawn to a girl who was probably in her early 20s. She was pretty and had a nice figure. Her legs were fair and long. She had a pink short dress and a pair of office shoes which made her look very attractive and beautiful. She was Christabel Wood, the class representative.
Christabel was very kind and innocent. Unlike other girls in a class that looked down on Richard for being Poor.Christabel had never looked down on Richard instead she had looked for ways to help Richard many times.
She had announced that the lecturer that was supposed to take the next class was not around so the class has been canceled.
“We can now have our get-together as a class.Let's do lunch together? ''Christabel said enthusiastically.
The whole class had been anticipating another class get-together.They had really enjoyed the last one they had.
At that moment, Charles ran to Richard and place his hands over Richard shoulder and said “Richard come join us today it's been a while since you join us for a class get together”.
“Charles why inviting that pauper how could he have the money to attend the get together” a girl on a black skirt yelled out.
Richard could not help but lift his head to look at the girl.She was Natasha Bryan,Jane best friend and roommate.
Natasha looked down Richard and often bullied him.A huge part of the reason behind Jane dumping Richard and choosing to be with Dominic was due to Natasha's instigation.
“Exactly how can a pauper like Richard afford to go to a lunch party?”Jane other friend,Isabella John added with sarcasm.
“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 th
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
The next day, Richard woke up feeling energetic after a long night of rest he had. He decided to go in to freshen up then he discovered that his phone was ringing, curious to know who was calling him he quickly picked up the call and found out that it was Mr James who was calling. “Hello Mr James good morning”Richard said. “Good morning young master. I trust you have a good night rest. We have heard about your victory against the Maxwell Crane Empire and your grandfather is really delighted in you and he has shown his interest to see you so that he could congratulate you personally by himself,”Mr James said. Truly Richard had done a great job in taking down Maxwell Crane who had been a difficult rival the Morgan Empire had been facing over the years. “I will come over to his place after my class this morning,”Richard replied. “That will be great. We will be waiting for your arrival and prepare very well for you,”Mr James said. Richard hung up his call and decided to continue
After the party night with his friends to celebrate their victory over Maxwell Crane. Richard decided to head home to get some rest because it has been a long day for him. After 10 minutes of driving he finally gets to his mansion but notices a familiar face. “Amelia how long have you been here?”rRichard uttered, shocked on seeing Amelia at the entrance of his mansion. “I have been waiting all day just for you to arrive so that I will clear my doubt about your identity”Amelia replied. “You should have informed me about your arrival so that I won't keep you this long waiting for me outside the entrance of my mansion”Richard said.“There is no need for that now since you're here let's just go down to business and talk about the reason why I'm here”Amelia uttered, not impressed by the concern Richard was showing. “That's all right so what brings you here?”Richard asked curiously. “Richard, are you asking what brings me here? Don't you know the answer to that question. You have bee
Richard now informs Marcus and Rachel that he had handled the men in the operating room and he was now in charge of the operating system so they have to help him out with his plan now. “Emily come over here!. I will also be needing your help”Richard called out.Emily did not hesitate and she walked forward to meet Richard. Then she handed all the information that Richards required to login to the system database. Christabel had recorded the scene when Marcel Crane had stated that he was involved in the death of Richard's parents and he wouldn't spare any rival that stood against him. This was the video Richard intended to use against Maxwell and Christabel had handed the video clip to Richard. “You play this video when the time comes in the hall for everybody to see what kind of man Maxwell crane is”Richard said while he handed the video to Emily who was operating their system with the help of Richard and Marcus giving her directive on what to do on the system. Within few minut
Maxwell Crane felt that he was all alone with his men and Richard so he could say whatever he wanted to Richard at that moment.“The Morgan Empire was competing with the Crane Empire and it was doing better than our company so I had no choice but to join forces with the Knight Consortium and take him off.” Maxwell said. Richard was very furious and he quickly tried to get close to Maxwell but he was shoved off by one of Maxwell's men. Emily tried to calm Richard down.“Richard, you can't be doing this. I know it's hurt but get a hold of yourself”Emily said as she supported him to get up.Maxwell was very furious as he realized that Richard had wanted to attack him but since the galaxy was still going on he could not create a scene.“We will handle this situation once the event is over”Maxwell uttered as he turned to his men to keep calm.Maxwell decided to take his leave why his men followed him from behind.He believed there was nothing possible that Richard was capable of since
Exactly 6pm the next day,Richard has finalized the discussion with his friends regarding what role they will each play to bring down Maxwell Crane.“Richard, are you sure this plan will work?” Christabel asked.“You don't have to be afraid,we are doing this together.You will be working together with Charles so you have nothing to worry about” Richard said reassuringly.He had communicated with other members of his workers who will be working from the office and everything looks good.Marcus and Racheal along with Mr James had taken their position ready to help Richard out whenever he needed them,all he just had to do was to just pull a call to them and they will be at his service immediately.“Lets go no Christabel,we got this and everything will surely work out as planned” Charles encouraged while he left with her.Oliver followed along from behind.He also had important work to do.Richard was left with Emily.Since this charity gala would host important guests in the country,Richard w
When Richard notices the stare on everyone's face,he still maintains his composure. There was no need to inform the others about the reason he was moving out. What was important was that he was moving out. Charles and Oliver help Richard to move his things out of the dorm. He was only moving with a few things.There was a car parked outside waiting for his arrival.“We will miss you Richard,”Oliver said. “I have told you that you can come to my place whenever you want so there will be no need for you to miss me. Whenever you feel like you are missing me then come over to my place to see me”Richard said with a smile on his face. Charles chuckled “then you'll be having more of us at your apartment”Since it was getting late Richard had to take his leave.He bid farewell to Charles and Oliver then went into the car and zoomed off.A lot of his dorm mates were watching the trio curiously. They couldn't believe that Richard, who they least expected to leave the dorm, was actually the
Soon the school bell rang indicating that their break was over and they needed to go back to the class.Richard and his friends stood up to make their way out when they were confronted by Dominic and his friends. “Richard, I see what you have become recently, you must be really proud of knowing some top individuals in the country but I still will not believe that you are someone of influence that needs to be respected.”Dominic stated.Richard had no words for him likewise his friends so they just had to leave the scene making Dominic look like an idiot.“Richard recently has been acting up, he might really have some connection with the Morgan Empire”Thomas said, turning to Dominic.“He isn't someone we should mess with. I think we should keep some distance away from him and avoid offending him unless you might have to bear the consequence of her action,”John added.The Richard she had left was quite different from the Richard she knew now.“Shut up you both! What do you know you'r
Christabel and Emily were still waiting for Richard so that he could inform them of the role they will be playing in this mission.“Christabel you will also work as a waitress, you will assist Charles in feeding me with information concerning any looming danger and you also keep watch so that nothing will go wrong”Richard said. Christabel nodded in acceptance. It was something she could do and she would also be working with Charles which was fair enough for her. Emily was the only one who was left with no role to play in this mission and she wasn't pleased with that.“Richard, how could you completely omit me from this mission? I thought we were all partners and friends. We had previously agreed that we would all give our support to you but why do you choose to leave me out of this plan”Emily asked disheartened. She wasn't the only one not pleased with this, the rest others were also surprised that Richard had completely omitted any out of the mission. They all waited for Rich
“Hello Mr James, what is so urgent that you can't wait for me to be out of school before you tell me about it?”Richard asked curiously.“I called to remind you that the charity gala that the Crane company will be holding is tomorrow. If you have a plan I need my help with anything then feel free to let me know about it and I'll be pleased to help you out”Mr James stated. He has been always helpful to Richard and was expressing his desire to still be of help to reach out whenever he was needed.“Thank you so much Mr James for everything you have helped me with. I totally appreciate your help and I don't take you for granted. If I'll be needing your help in this mission to take down the Crane Empire then you can be rest assured that I'll reach out to you immediately”Richard said. “This is your first mission Richard and I'm wishing you the very best shot. Your grandfather will be waiting to hear news about the downfall of the Crane Empire”Mr James said. “I'll do my best to make this
