There was one question in his head that needed to be answered and that was the question of the net worth of his company.
Turning around towards Anna, he could not help but open his mouth to inquire."What's the network of the company?" He finally inquired, curiosity sprinkled all over his voice.There was a sudden pause in the air as he waited patiently for a response from him."I think ten trillion dollars as at the last time I inquired from the general accountant. It might have increased." She explained to him.His eyes bulged out from his eye socket at the sound of the words almost immediately as he could not believe what he just heard.His heart was already beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through.Random thoughts ran through his mind as to how powerful he had become so suddenly."I will leave you to rest now, young master, you have a lot tomorrow." She noted with a slight bow, walking away slowly from the place.Getting into the clothes seemed way too uncomfortable for him so he just had to use the previous ones that he had already.The bed was fluffy and he could say that everything was as good as perfect. His heart beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through.The next morning, he had already been informed that he would have a lot of things to do.There was a planned meeting where he would get to be introduced to all the heirs of the city, but before then Anna already told him that they would be going to the mall to get some clothes."Would that be necessary?" He could not help it, a bit inquired staring right into Anna's eyes as she stood before him."Yes young Master, this is going to be your first meeting with the world since you were born." She finally said with so much respect in her voice but Vincent was not going to listen to the word that she had to say.All this while, he was already used to leading a low-key life, and forcing things on him now was going to make a lot more difference.Anna could see the resistance that was written all over his face and she said a way that made him pause to think for a while."You master, this list was made by your father so I don't have control over them, I am only following orders." She said once again.The words seemed to hit the core of his being, weakening him right to his bones and he let out a sigh of defeat."Okay." A finally let out a smile towered over her lips, even though she didn't spit out another word from her mouth."But. I will be going alone." He finally let out to her disappointmentShe had already prepared the best of the cars to take him to the best exclusive mall that could be found in the city.But after the time that she had spent trying to persuade him on the latter, she knew that there was nothing that she could do about it now.She let out a really deep sigh almost immediately that expressed her defeat."Okay, Young master. A reservation has already been made for you at the Jade Mall." She finally went ahead to inform him.In turn, Vincent nodded his head. He took his bath for the morning and took a cab to the mall.It intended to get clothes that were not way too flashy but after hitting through every single detail of the place, he could not get a glimpse of anything that fitted into his description."An exclusive hotel isn't it." He thought in his head.And finally, his eyes caught up with a piece of clothing that was caught up in a shoe glass.If there was any way that he could describe it, it was just what he wanted with a staggering price tag.His hands sped off towards the glass but before he could feel it, he heard a voice from behind that made him pull a sudden halt."How many more shoplifters are we going to get in a week?" He heard the voice coming to him from behind with a hiss on the lips.He made a sudden turn towards the direction of the sound to see who it was, only to notice that it was one of the sellers there.He recognized the face that was sitting next to him almost immediately. It was Marble, a girl from his varsity.Immediately their eyes crossed the paths, her face twisted into a swift frown immediately and her nostrils twitched with irritation."What do you think that you are doing here?" She scoffed after which a chuckle escaped from her mouth."After being disgraced before the whole school, do you think that this is the place for you to start seeking out consolation or something?"Well sorry to disappoint, this place is a mall so you should find somewhere else."Throughout the whole speech, Vincent kept a straight face, waiting for her to spit out all the words that she had in her head before going ahead to speak."And I was praying for potential customers as the boss already promised 40% to anyone that will be able to sell these clothes but the only thing that I keep getting are scumbags like you." She muttered under her breath but it was loud enough for him to hear."Are you done?" He shot a straight face at her and the words that he just spoke seemed to flare up again."Pardon?" She shot a deadly glare at him that was enough to throw anyone off balance but he was not moved even for a single moment."Oh too bad it seems you still have more to say. But when you feel like you are done, you can get me the clothes. Proper package please." He muttered the words nonchalantly.Immediately he spat out the words from his mouth, she could not hold back the astonishment that was written all over her face.And afterward, she burst out into laughter until a strand of tears escaped from her eyes."Are you for real right now?" She laughed even harder, clutching hard to her already aching stomach.Finally, she was able to get a grip of herself as she rose slowly, staring right into his eyes. Her laughter was soon replaced by a sudden snare."Seemed the public embarrassment got into that head of yours." She snared."First lying that poor Sonia is your girlfriend when she was just trying to be nice to you and what next, telling me that you want to get something that could feed you your entire life?Aren't you the biggest psycho that I have ever been?"Vincent could already feel his anger rising steeply but he clutched his hands to control it."And what makes you feel like I can't afford it?" His confidence was way too baffling to Marble.She was confused as to why he was talking in such a manner but after thinking about the way that she spoke the previous day before everyone, it was not surprising to him anymore."Guess you are good at what you do, con artist." She thought in her head."I think the question should be the other way around."She took a swift look From his head to his toe. Just take a good look at yourself and I think that you will be able to find the answer."Can you even afford to eat three square meals daily?" She wonderedVincent could feel his heart pounding on his chest but he was able to resist the urge to display his anger openly."And what if I tell you that I will be able to afford the whole mall without even a flinch in my network?" He said swiftly.Miracle couldn't phantom the words that he just spat out from his mouth, her jaws still far apart with so much shock.This time, she could not hold back the rage that was beginning to boil over right from the inner part of her.Her growl was enough to rip him into a million pieces."Have you gone mad?" She thundered with so much hatred in her voice ready to tear him apart into a million pieces.Vincent was about to give her a response but she would not allow him to spit out a word from his mouth anymore."Enough." She shot a deadly glare at him."I have heard enough of you for one day." She thundered, her voice laced with so much anger."You will have to leave this place right away." Her words spoke of the hatred that was brewing deep inside her.But if there was anything that was not going to happen, it was leaving that place without getting what he wanted."And what if I decide not to?" He glared back, already getting tired of her ranting."You know what, I should be the one angry at this point. I want to see the manager right away." He said fearlessly but she only chuckled almost immediately..."And what makes you think that I will walk over to his office and be oh sir, a great personality who is enough to buy the mall but cannot feed himself here?" She replied with every hint of mockery in her voice."Leave right away or I am going to have to make you leave me."Vincent stares right into her eyes without a single trace of fear. His stance was his stance and no one was going to change it."Make me leave," Vincent growled back and his words got him even more angry than he was already."Then I will do it with due pl
There was a tense air around as everyone didn't realize what was going on."So thoughtful of you Ms. Anna." She said with a smile on his face.Mr. Max shivered right on the spot where he was standing. He had always anticipated the day that he was going to meet with the heir.And now, it turned out that he was meeting the heir in the worst situation ever.His eyes sped over swiftly to Mirable as he could not contain his anger, swiftly hitting his lower lips and yelling in his head."Just see what you have done, fool. And I was already working my way out to getting a promotion." The thoughts clouded his mind.---"Mr. Max, as I held you were called. Here is the pass. Are you still going to consider getting the police even after seeing this?" He inquired with a nonchalant expression on his face.Ms. Anna's face flooded with so much confusion, trying to get a grasp of what she just heard.But no matter how hard she tried to wrap her head around what exactly was going on.Her heart raced m
"Was it a prank or she might have heard wrong?" Mirable was still finding it difficult as a young master."Please forgive me, young master. Please, I promise that I am going to do anything." She kept on pleading and the act got him even more confused than he was already.His eyes were farrowed and he muttered under his breath."Is there any way to do it apart from what I just did?" He inquired.Ms. Anna turned around towards him and said. "Sir Vincent, are you serious about this?" She inquired equally confused as well.Everyone expected him to change his stance and reveal his true intentions but it didn't seem as though he had any apart from what he just said.He nodded his head and her eyes bulged out from her eye sockets."But why young master? After everything that they had done?" She could not help it but inquired, still baffled at the words."She was only acting ignorant. There is no need to exert so much strength on taking revenge. It's so not Worth.""There are only three peopl
His eyes paired down and he noticed that it was the stunning lady that had been standing right before Vincent, Jane.She brought down his hand and collected the glass of wine from him, putting it back on the table.“How dare you speak to the heir in such a manner? Have you no respect?” “You could’ve been put behind bars if you you had spilled as little as a drop of that drink on his suit” Jane said calmly with a very serious look on her face“By the way that suit you just called fake, is worth all the cars in your Father’s garage combined”“How da…Do not interfere!” Elizabeth was about to speak before she was aburptly interrupted by Jane.Suddenly Richard burst out into an uncontrollably loud laughter as everyone else followed suit.He continued to laugh out loud for a while, holding his belly until the effect of Jane’s words slowly died down.“Being the heir to the janitor's closet is certainly not a position you should be flaunting around in such vicinity” he said sarcastically.“An
He let it ring the first time thinking that the caller might have made a mistake and would not resend the call.After a short while, it rang again and this time he picked it up furiously wondering who it might have been that was bent on disturbing his sleep that very early in the morning.As soon as he got a hold of his phone, he hissed and rolled his eyes upon realising that it was just his alarm.A few days before Anna rescued him from being crippled by Richard’s bodyguards, his routine for the past few years had required him to wake up very early in the mornings for deliveries.He took up the mid-morning shift and the day shift at the delivery services due to the fact that he was desperate to make ends meet.He dismissed the alarm and sat up, realising that he couldn't fall asleep anymore.“Man, this delivery job has really messed up my sleeping routine” He thought to himself as he scratched the back of his head, yawning with his mouth wide open.Now that he was fully awake and he
This brought her back to her senses upon realising that it was her phone’s ringtone.As she picked up her phone while staring at the screen, the look on her face suddenly changed into a serious one.Before picking the call, she composed himself and cleared her throat.“Good morn…. There's absolutely nothing good about the morning, keep that to yourself because you're fired!”Ms. Jefferson froze with her eyes widened in shock as she began to sweat profusely in the air condition filled room.Immediately she realised what she had done to herself, she was so furious that she had stabbed herself with her own knife as all her actions backfired.Without thinking twice, she got down on both knees and began pleading with Vincent, not minding her ego or her reputation if anyone were to mistakenly walk in.After she had genuinely apologised and pleaded for a while, he took pity on her and placed a call across to the boss asking him to give her back her job.She eventually retrieved her job but s
"Vincent" The voice called out as he slowly turned back thinking of where he might have heard this voice before.Upon realising who it turned out to be, Vincent’s face suddenly became puzzled with surprise.“Jane, what are you doing here?” Vincent asked, still seeming surprised at their coincidental meeting.“Nothing much, I came to have coffee at my favourite place” Looking away in the direction of The Coffee House right across the street Jane responded trying to avoid gazing off into his eyes.Jane’s mother had always wanted her and Vincent to be together because of the grand life she had imagined for her daughter.In the past, Jane didn’t seem to notice anything intriguing or fascinating about him but she didn’t complain either because all her life she had only ever been taught to follow her mothers others. She was made to believe that her mother knew what was best for her; maybe she actually did this time.Over the past few days she realised that she had slowly started to fall for
“Hey man, come on in'' Richard said to Alex as he gave him a one sided bro hug and locked the door behind them.“What took you forever to answer the door '' Alex hissed with his brows knitted in anger.“I was having a really good time” Turning around with the glass of wine in his right hand, Richard replied smiling devilishly.Alex immediately understood the message that Richard was trying to convey as he was putting on nothing but a bathrobe. He definitely had someone entertaining him in his room.“What's up? Why the sour look on your face?” Richard asked as he dropped his glass of wine on the table and sat on the chair opposite Alex.Alex heaved a heavy sigh of frustration before he replied “The worst has happened!”Hearing that, Richard’s face twisted with confusion written all over it as both his brows knitted into a curious frown while he unconsciously leaned forward towards Alex.Alex went ahead to narrate every single thing that had transpired in detail. From Vincebt’s disrespec
