Chapter 5 .

The waiter arrives with our order, I wait for her to try the first bite.

- What is this spectacular food, it's delicious!

-I knew you would like it and I want you to learn to cook to that level, no matter what it takes.

-For that you would have to go to a prestigious cooking school and it would be at least a year of study.

-The necessary time, and I'll cover the expenses, but enjoy it, let's leave business aside.

She was happy at that moment, I could see that she still didn't believe everything I was telling her, but I wanted to help her and this way I would also have someone I could trust working for me; we finished eating, I paid the bill and we left, when we were outside I asked her.

- How much money do you have?

-I was hoping for today's payment, but I don't think that's going to happen.

-Come with me.

I took her with me to an ATM and withdrew $2,000.

-Take this as your first fortnight's salary.

-But I haven't done anything yet.

-You are mistaken, you have just accepted a deal with me and I am only giving you an advance.

-But it's double what I earn, it can't be an advance.

-Take it as you wish, I have to go.

If I didn't leave, he would keep questioning me and I don't want him to regret it.

My phone is ringing!

-Good afternoon Maximo.

-Good afternoon Mr. Santos, I would like to notify you that tomorrow afternoon your checkbook and card will be ready, when you meet at the bank ask for me directly.

-I'll be at the bank at 3pm.

-When I receive your money, both will be active, in the meantime you will continue with the provisional card, tell me, do you need more funds, the bank has no problem giving you more credit.

-I still have enough funds, I've barely used $10,000.

-Perfect, I'll expect it tomorrow.

I go shopping for clothes, I don't think I can walk around in these same clothes anymore, but I'm not going to look for expensive clothes yes, I prefer to keep a low profile; I bought some formal clothes, but nothing extravagant I hope it will be enough.

The next day I report to the bank at 3 o'clock.

-Good afternoon, miss, I was looking for Mr. Maximo on behalf of Mr. Javier Santos.

-Good afternoon Mr. Santos, Mr. Maximo is waiting for you in the VIP area.

I go to the VIP area and Maximo appears.

- Mr. Santos, I've been notified of your arrival, come this way.

Let's go to your office.

-You have considered my proposal to invest your money, if you want, you can only invest half of it.

-At the moment I'm going to make investments, but outside the bank, when I receive all my money, then I'll invest it in the bank, I don't need the immediate availability of all my funds.

- When you consider it appropriate just locate me, right now we will proceed to activate your card, additionally in your checkbook there is a contact number for the bank, if someone comes to reject the validation of the check you can contact that number for validation of the funds.

I receive a text message.

Message 1/4 - Your card has been successfully activated.

Message 2/4 - You have received a transfer of $100 Million USD

Message 3/4 - Your provisional card has been deactivated

Message 4/4 - $12,340 has been deducted from your account for provisional card consumption.

-According to these messages, I have already received the first part.

- Let me check.

He begins to check his computer, it takes a moment..

-The mega lottery did indeed pay out the prize today so you can now have your own funds.

-Well, that's very nice to hear.

-What I would ask is that you let me have the temporary card, we have to destroy it right now.

-Here it is.

I see him taking out a pair of scissors and cutting the card into several pieces.

-I have to go, I'll be in touch with you.

-I'll see you soon, Mr. Santos.

I leave the bank and look at the new card, all golden with a bank insignia and small letters saying VIP. I feel like testing the power of this card, I will do it in a luxury hotel.

I arrive at the hotel and a bellboy opens the door for me.

-Welcome gentleman.

He arrives at the front desk.

-Good morning, I would like the presidential suite.

The receptionist just stares at me.

-I'm sorry, sir, that is a room exclusively for elite clients, could I offer you another room.

-Never mind the cost, I want that room," I show her my card.

She changes her expression when she sees it.

-Excuse me, Mr. Santos, this is the first time you visit us, I hope the suite is to your liking, how long do you plan to stay?

-Just for this evening.

-The bellboy will accompany you to your suite.

I follow the bellboy and we go to the 16th floor.

-The key, please.

Without the key the elevator would not open, the moment that door disappeared I could appreciate the wonder of the room, it was a whole floor with several rooms and the main one with a huge jacuzzi, I tipped the bellboy; as soon as I entered I called room service and ordered a big dinner, I wanted this not to end, but if it goes on like this I will spend all the money quickly and I don't want that, heard how the elevator door opened and a waiter with a cart came in, he prepares everything for me to just enjoy it.

-Everything is ready, bon appetit.

He extends his hand, and what else can it be I give him a $50 tip, I still don't know if it's the right amount; I like this dinner, I go out to the balcony and I can admire the whole city and I have different perspectives, this seems like a dream and I don't want to wake up from it.

I lay down on the bed and fall asleep so fast that I felt that only a few seconds had passed, but actually it was 9 o'clock, I feel like new, but it's time to leave this world where I don't belong, I take a shower and I only had the change I was wearing with nothing to do, I put it on again, I get to the reception and give the key, a few seconds later I get a message.

Message 1/1 - $12,650 fee at the imperial hotel.

Wow they are fast here, but it was worth it to spend so much money, I feel very relaxed, maybe I will come here from time to time to relax.
