A thief

Hearing the bill of the food they just ate,Tory's mouth became wide open. Even if the bill wasn't so expensive,it was expensive for a guy like Scott.

But to her greatest surprise,Scott passed his smartphone to the waiter and instructed him to input the account derails without even breaking a sweat.

After inputing the account details,Scott completed the transfer and also ordered for take outs for him and Tory.

The take outs was brought and the duo retrieved it and made their way outside the restaurant. Due to how much they had to eat,the duo's movement were slow and sluggish.

"How did you manage to pay,though?" Tory inquired,still a bit surprised by how Scott was able to pay without even breaking a sweat.

"Come on,don't be dramatic,Tory. The bills wasn't that high." Scott replied,scratching his curly black hair. "Besides,do you have any idea who my fiance is?" Scott asked with a proud look and a smirk.

He chose to pretend that his fiance,Caroline,was the one who gave him tge money to treat her to dinner. Scott wasn't ready to inform anyone of his true identity and it was better to still lay low and play along.

"I knew it." Tory blurtted out. "I guess i should also look for a rich guy that would give me the good things i want." Said Tory while making their way to the bus station.

"You will find one,don't worry." Scott replied.

The duo finally arrived at the bus station and Scott made sure Tory entered a bus that would take her home before making his way back to the main road to get a cab.

Tory's house was located in a whole new destination from where Scott's apartment was.

Scott finally arrived home and placed the take outs into his small fridge before collapsing on his bed to have a goodnight rest.

BEEP*

A notification sound was heard in Scott's phone,glancing at the screen,Scott saw a new text message from Caroline.

-(CAROLINE) HI.

-(SCOTT) HEY.

-(CAROLINE) SORRY ABOUT EARLIER.

-(SCOTT) NAH,DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

-(CAROLINE) YOU GOT PLANS TOMORROW?

-(SCOTT) TOMORROW IS SATURDAY,I WON'T BE GOING ANYWHERE. WHY?

-(CAROLINE) SHOULD WE HANG OUT?

-(SCOTT) SURE,I WILL PICK YOU UP TOMORROW.

Delivering the last text,Scott placed his phone on his drawer,his ecpression mixed with excitement and anticipation as he closed his eyes to sleep.

Back in the Fernando residence, Four individual could be seen having a secret conversation in a room that was located upstairs. Based on how they spoke quietly,it was obvious they did not want anyone to hear what they were talking about.

"I wonder what charm that bastard placed on my daughter's head that makes her not want to leave him." Mrs Sheila blurtted with looks of disdain as she remembers Scott's face from earlier.

"I mean,did you even see the guy?" Louis uttered. "He's very disgusting. I can't allow him enter into this family."

"I am not sure if we can do anything about that since your father already approved their wedding." Mrs. Sheila responded. "The only thing we can do now is make his life a living hell when he comes into this house. We'll frustrate him until he leaves."

"I don't think that would be necessary." Aunt Zaya who has been on the phone with someone for a while now finally ended the call and stated.

"What do you mean?" Louis questioned,confused by Aunt Zaya's words.

"Pedro called me earlier that he has a plan to make that riff raff not step into this house. And now he called me saying his plan was a success and all we had to do was wait till tomorrow." Aunt Zaya explained with a mischievious smirk as she grabs a glass of red wine and sips it.

"What do you mean? What plan?" Mrs Sheila asked hastily.

"We will just have to wait and see what Pedro is up to." Aunt Zaya replied.

The morning sun rose up and shone brightly into the eyes of Scott,and slowly he began to wake up from his slumber. Today was saturday,a weekend to do what he wanted.

Scott's initial plan for his weekend was to just lie down on his bed and rest after such a stressful week at work. But after Caroline's invite,he knew he had to change his plan and spend the whole of the day with her.

Scott rose up from his bed and let out a loud yawn while stretching his body. After making sure he was fully awake,Scott headed inside his bathroom to take a shower.

Few minutes later,Scott walked out of the Shower and headed straight to his fridge and brought out the takeouts from last night's dinner. He placed the food into the microwave and sat down patientiely,waiting for it to heat up.

DING*

Scott took out the hot plate and began to dig in and eat. While Scott was eating,he was scrolling through TikTok to pass time while watching funny videos online.

While Scott was scrolling through his phone,a message entered. Scott glanced at the message and was surprised by who the sender was.

"Why does boss wants me in the company right now? Isn't it my day off?" Scott couldn't quite understand what was going on. It was a weekend,why then was he being called by his boss?

After thinking about it for too long,Scott decided it would be best if he just go and see what the problem could be. Quickly dressing up in his hoodie,Scott dashed out of his apartment and headed straight to the company.

***

The company was already crowded with every single person who worked there. They were asked to arrange themselves in a straight line while they await the boss.

Few minutes later,the boss,Pedro Louis walked in,dressed in black suit and trousers.

Pedro stood infront of the workers and glanced at each and everyone of their faces like he was searching for a paeticular person.

Just when he was about to ask where the person was,Scott rushed into the company and was surprised by who was standing infront of him.

The same man that humiliated him yesterday at the Fernando's residence.

"Oh,He's here." Pedro voiced. "Now the reason why i called this meeting is because the company's property went missing overnight. And the property is worth $3,000,000,000."
