THE HEIR AND HIS HEIRESS

⚡Chapter 1⚡

Chris POV

I walked sullenly to the restaurant looking gloomy like always. Today is just going to be like every other day where I will attend to customers, receive my pay and head back home.

The rest of the workers always make fun of me because I only have three clothes with a pair of shoes.

I can't buy clothes and shoes for myself because I have to pay my house rent and light bill.

Sometimes I just get fed up and feel like ending my life, but I remember the saying; "where there is life, there is hope" and that has kept me going till now.

I walked slowly to the restaurant and greeted my manager. After that, I went to the changing room to change my dress.

"He's here! The king is here" one of the workers said sarcastically

"Welcome Your Royal Majesty" another one greeted with a mock bow

I sighed ignoring them and started work for the day.

"Why can't you answer our greeting? Have you suddenly gone deaf and dumb?"

"I wonder why the manager hasn't even sacked him yet, he has never done anything right"

"What are you doing when you're supposed to be working?" the manager asked coming in

They scurried over to their respective duties and the work for the day began. Thank goodness the manager came in time, I really don't know why they hate me so much.

Pardon my manners, let me introduce myself! My name is Chris Rodriguez. My parents died when I was five years old and I lost my memories. At least that's what I was told, it's not like I remember a thing.

I don't even remember the face of my parents probably because I lost my memories. Ever since then, I lived in the orphanage along with other kids who had no parents or relatives.

The orphanage sponsored our education through highschool, but then something happened to the orphanage and we all left to start a new life on our own.

Enough of my boring life, I really don't like thinking about my ill fate.

We started our work as usual. Some people cook, some wash plates and we attend to customers.

After the day's work, I changed my clothes and collected my pay before heading home with the food I'm going to eat for dinner. One of the benefits of working in a restaurant!

I opened the door to my small one room apartment and went in. Dropping my food on the small table I had, I went to the bathroom and freshened up.

When I got back in, I wore my night clothes and opened my food devouring it hungrily. I only had the chance to eat once today because work was too much.

After I was done eating, I laid on my mattress waiting patiently for sleep to come. I don't have a phone and no one is willing to be friends with a pauper.

Soon enough, I drifted to sleep!

Mitchell's POV

I got into my car and drove home after closing from work. Today is just like every other day. Work, work and work till I almost can't breath anymore.

And now, I have to return to that sick mansion. Can my life ever get any worse?

I'm from a rich family but I don't even feel it. Grandma and Grandpa asked everyone in the family to have a job especially the grandchildren and that's why I'm working.

I work in our company as an accountant and it's really not easy because of how big the company is. I just hate my life!

A quick introduction of myself! I'm Mitchell Campbell, only child of my parents. My father is actually the one from Campbell family while my mom is also from another rich family.

I don't have the right to make choices or decisions for myself because my grandparents make decisions for every single person living in the mansion.

From the food we eat to the clothes we wear and even whom we associate with. Left for me, I wouldn't work in our family company but my grandparents being the dictator asked me to work there.

I've always wanted to be a model and probably a singer but my grandparents were against it so I had to study business.

No one hates his or her life like I hate mine. It will probably be better if I wasn't born into a rich family. Maybe then, I will be able to make decisions for myself.

"What the hell? Do you want to kill me?" I fired at the driver

"I'm really sorry ma'am! The bump on the road was too high and I never knew it was there. They just did it few hours ago" he explained shakily

"Well, keep your goddamn explanation to yourself because you're fired. Get lost" I screamed at him

"Please ma'am, I'm sorry" he pleaded still sitting

I angrily got down from the car and went to the driver's seat. Dragging him off, I got in and drove off.

Oh shit!! Grandma is going to kill me today. She warned me not to fire anyone no matter what happens.

I hit the steering angrily as I turned the car around and drove to the place I left him. Fortunately for me, he was still there.

I rolled my eyes and got down from the car.

"Get in" I ordered and sat at the back seat

"Thank you ma'am" he said with a smile as he got into the car and started driving

Few minutes later, we arrived home! Great! My worst nightmare is here.

"Good evening" I mumbled a greeting as I walked towards the stairs but grandma's voice stopped me

"And who do you think you're greeting that way huh? You just mumbled a greeting and walked past us, is that how a good granddaughter is supposed to behave?

I'm guessing your parents failed to teach you properly, they are always thinking of ways to become richer and nothing else" she concluded while I clenched my fist in anger

Like seriously? Are they going to keep insulting my parents every now and then? What did my parents ever do to them?

"I'm sorry I walked past you but I'm really tired and need to rest so if you'll please excuse me" I said rolling my eyes inwardly and finally took the stairs not listening to any of their calls

I fell on the bed as soon as I got to my room. Gosh! I feel so tired and my grandmother just added to it.

I'm the only granddaughter they complain about in this house and my parents are their only children they complain about too.

Most of the grandchildren in this mansion are spoilt and rude but my so-called grandparents always turn a blind eye to that.

I shouldn't even be thinking about them when I have more important things to do.

I'm just going to take a shower and sleep off. Dinner is totally out of my schedule because I don't want to face anyone else today.

Kathryn's POV

I made the last pose I had for the day and collected a napkin that was handed over to me by one of my guards.

Being a model can be really stressful but then it has its own advantages too. Like I get to have a shoot with lots of handsome guys and I also get to f**k any guy I want to because of my beauty.

Not to brag but I don't think there is anyone as beautiful as I am especially not in this America.

"Wow! She's so beautiful! If only she could go into modelling, she would definitely be Miss world within few months" I heard someone say when I was just few steps away from my car

"Can I see the picture of who you're talking about?" I asked them with a sweet smile

One of them shakily gave me the magazine and three of them ran as fast as they could.

That's me! Kathryn Eduardo! At just the mention of my name, everyone gets scared and make a run for their dear lives.

I checked the magazine and I was really surprised to see a beautiful lady. She's beautiful but she can't be compared to me in anyway.

"Who is she?" I asked my bodyguards

"She's Mitchell Campbell, daughter of the third richest family in the whole of America. She works in her grandparents company and her movement is restricted" one of them explained

"Okay, let's go" I said with a wave of dismissal and got into the car

All through the ride home, I kept thinking about Mitchell and her face seems to be stored in my memory.

She really is beautiful, I can't deny that fact. But she can't possibly be more beautiful than I am right?

"We're home ma'am" the drivers voice jolted me out of my thoughts

I stepped out of the car like the model I was and went inside my room. Tonight is going to be a long one seeing as I can't seem to get Mitchell off my mind.

*Next day*

I yawned aloud as I sat up in bed. Last night was the worst night of my life because I couldn't get a wink of sleep until late midnight.

The annoying and unfortunate thing is that I have a shoot by 9am this morning and the time is 8 o'clock already.

Why didn't I try to get that girl of my mind? She's in no way compared to me so I shouldn't stress myself.

I hurriedly took my bath and wore my clothes. By the time I was done applying my make up and other things, the time was already 8:50.

Gosh! For the first time in my life, I'm going to be late for a shoot and it's all because of Mitchell. I should have just minded by business yesterday.

"Drive as fast as you can, I'm already late as you can see" I said to the driver

"Yes ma'am" he answered politely with a bow

I took out my phone to check the time but almost immediately, the car screeched to a halt and I almost hit my head on the driver's seat. What the hell!

"Have you gone nuts?" I screamed at the driver angrily

"So you want to kill me? All these while you've been pretending to respect me, you had it in mind to kill me?" I asked with a murderous look

"It really isn't like that ma'am! The guy that was about crossing the road caused it, I had to apply the brakes instantly to avoid committing murder" he explained and that was when I looked up and indeed saw a guy on the floor just at the front of the car

"Shouldn't you watch where you are going? How dare you run into my car like that? What if something had happened to me?" I ranted immediately I got to him

"I'm really sorry, I know I'm at fault. The truth is I got lost for a few minutes, I'm so sorry" he apologized standing up

"Keep your goddamn apologies and explanation to yourself. I don't talk to paupers like you but I was really angry. The clothes you're wearing are smelling awfully and I doubt if you even wash at all.

People like you shouldn't be seen on the street, you should stay indoors for the rest of your life and live like a ghost. Dimwit!" I concluded and got back into my car

"I'm only going to say this once. If this ever repeats itself, just consider yourself fired. Do you understand?" I asked the driver sternly

"Yes ma'am" he answered shakily

Good! That's what I want! They should always shake in fear anytime I speak.

We arrived at the agency and I checked the time only to discover it was past 9 already. Goodness gracious!

I haven't signed with this company before so I just hope they're nice and not strict.

Getting down from the car, I catwalked into the company and met a receptionist.

"I'm here to see the manager of this place" I said with a small smile

"Do you have an appointment with him?" the receptionist asked

"Don't you know who I am? I'm.... " I was saying but she cut me off

"Whoever you are doesn't matter to me. Are you going to answer my question or should I continue with the important works I have to do?" she asked calmly

Who the hell does she thinks she is? She should thank her stars that this is my first time here, else she would have gotten it from me.

"I have an appointment with him by 9am" I said through gritted teeth

"We strictly adhere to time here but I'm only going to allow you in because this is your first time here" she explained while I just rolled my eyes

"Come with me" she said after few minutes and led the way

I'm going to put her in her place when next I come back here. I don't take rubbish from anyone, especially not someone below my status.

⚡Chapter 2⚡

Kevin's POV

I pulled out of the bitch I was fucking for the third time and released my cum on her stomach.

I went straight to the bathroom to wash my body in a quick shower. When I returned to the room, she was still on the bed and I walked up to her after scoffing.

"Why are you still here? Weren't you told that I don't like meeting a lady I screw when I return from the bathroom?" I asked angrily

"I was told but I'm really tired and I'm feeling sore, please let me stay here for few minutes" she begged weakly

"If you love yourself and don't want to be embarrassed, then I'll advise you leave quickly because I will be calling the security to throw you out soon" I threatened and went to change my clothes after dropping her pay on the bed

By the time I returned, she was already walking out of the door. She should count herself lucky because I'm in a good mood today.

I'm Kevin Russell, CEO of one of the biggest companies in America and I have branches in major parts of the world especially Asian countries.

I f**k anything in skirt and get whatever I want at just the snap of my fingers. I saw the lady that left my room just now on the way to my company and asked her for a one night stand which she agreed to immediately.

She was happy that she'll be getting screwed by one of the richest and handsome guys in the world but I'm sure she regrets it now.

I don't go easy on the ladies I screw and she's not an exception. Even if she had refused me, I would have gotten her still.

The ringing of my phone jolted me out of my reverie and I stood up to answer the call.

"You have a meeting with KS company in the next thirty minutes sir. I've been trying to reach you but you weren't answering your calls" she quickly added

Well, I would have fired her if she hadn't said that because I always give rules to my PAs anytime they're employed. One of the major rules state that they're to inform me of anything on my schedule one hour before the actual time.

"Alright, I'll be there soon" I told her and hanged up

I took off the casual clothes I was wearing and wore something fitted for a meeting before going out of the hotel to meet my driver.

Another one of my rules! I don't take any lady to my mansion, it's always a hotel.

Kathryn's POV

As soon as we got to the manager's office, she signalled me to go in while she returned to her post.

I opened the door and went straight to the manager. I sat on a chair opposite him and waited for him to be done with whatever he was doing.

"You don't know how to knock right? And I also never ask you to sit before you did" he said strictly as he closed the file before him

"I'm really tired from yesterday's shoot, it won't happen again" I said without emotions

"You are Kathryn Eduardo right?" he asked staring directly at me making me feel uncomfortable

"Yes I am"

"The shoot was supposed to take place by what time?" he asked calmly

"It was supposed to take place by 9" I answered not liking where this is going

"What is the time now?" he asked me

"The time is 9:30. Like I said earlier, I was tired from the shoot yesterday. You can ask other companies, I've never arrived late for a shoot" I explained

"It doesn't matter! If you were late on your first day, it means it's going to continue that way. For this reason and many more, you cannot be a model for us.

Crystal Allan will arrive here any moment from now so I suggest you leave. Sorry about that though, the thing is that we strictly keep to time here" he concluded and concentrated on his work

Did I hear him clearly? They don't want me anymore and the only person they could give the contract to is my rival. This is ridiculous!

The land phone rang and he answered it immediately.

"Yes? Oh! She's here already? Send her in please" he beamed

"Crystal is here already even though we called her few minutes ago. That's what I'm talking about" he said annoying me more

She knocked on the door and waited for a "come in" before walking in like the bitch she was

"I will take my leave now, excuse me" I said eyeing the manager dangerously

I stared at Crystal hatefully when I met her on the way while she kept smiling innocently like the devil she is. I'm going to put her in her place very soon.

I left the office angrily and got into my car after collecting the keys from the driver.

"Find your way home" I said to the driver and drove off

I don't have any other shoot today so I guess I will just have fun for today. Going to a bar and getting laid in an hotel is not a bad idea.

Mitchell's POV

I sighed tiredly and yawned aloud as I stared at the documents and files before me. I'm not the only accountant in this company so why do I have to do so much work in a day?

I was about working on the next document when I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in" I said tiredly and rested my back on the chair

"I'm sorry to disturb you but the thing is, we have a meeting with KRC in thirty minutes and you are to represent us there" she said politely while I scoffed

"What rubbish are you spouting? Since when did I become the CEO or manager that represents the company in a meeting?" I asked angrily

"I....I.... It was the chairman that asked me to tell you that" she answered shakily

"The chairman? Why are you just coming to tell me that now?" I asked placing my palm on my forehead

"He just asked me to tell you now" she stuttered still trembling

"Leave!" I said and she scurried out immediately

I'm sure this is a punishment for walking out on them last night. What exactly do they want from me?

The only thing I love is modelling but I wasn't permitted to go for what I want and still, they won't let me be!

I know exactly what to do! They've bitten more than they can chew so it's time to show them what I'm capable of.

I closed the file I was working on and kept everything safely before leaving the office with my bag.

My personal secretary was already waiting for me so I threw my bag at her and walked into my car which was already opened by the driver.

Few minutes later, we arrived at KRC and I got down from the car walking elegantly into the company.

We were taken to the conference room where the meeting was to take place and I sat down quietly.

I hurriedly took out a pen and paper and drafted some things that will be important for the meeting. Thank goodness I arrived on time.

Oh goodness! What kind of CEO runs this company and how does it manage to be the top two?

I heard he sleeps around a lot and is probably busy f**king a girl somewhere right now while we are here waiting for him. It's close to an hour already and I think my patience is beginning to run out.

Just when I was about standing up to leave, the so-called CEO walked in with his hands pocketed.

He had dark shades on and was chewing a gum noisily in his mouth. As soon as he got to us, he sat down and took off his shades.

"Let's get down to business" he said cockily

What? No apologies or something? He's just asking us to get down to business? Who the hell does he think he is?

"Let's get down to business? Is this how you do things here?" I asked angrily

"How I do things here is none of your business. I have lots of important things to do so be fast with whatever you are here for" he said rudely while I scoffed

I wouldn't be in this situation if grandfather hadn't forced me here and if I fail to get the contract signed, it will be another problem for me. I will have to let this go now.

"It's fine! It's your company so you can do whatever pleases you. Let's get down to business like you said" I said with a shrug

We went through the contract and it's rules within few minutes after which I waited patiently for him to agree to sign the contract.

"I don't like these rules one bit, it's looks like you're trying to bring my company down" he said staring at the contract arrogantly

"What?!! Why will I try to bring your company down?" I asked angrily

"Well, who knows? It might be because my company is top two while yours is top three. You know? Jealousy!" he said with an arrogant smirk

"You can say whatever you want to say, it's none of my business. Are you still interested in the contract,?" I asked through gritted teeth because my patience was slowly running out

"I'm not interested in signing the contract, you can leave" he said and looked away

What the hell is he talking about? He's no longer interested in signing the contract? Oh my goodness! Grandma will kill me!

"Please, just sign the contract. The rules are a bit fair" I said letting go of my pride

"You just said please? Well, don't you think you're a little boring? Let's have a quickie, what do you think?" he asked while I stared at him in disgust

"Shouldn't you at least think before speaking? I'm not one of those random girls you f**k okay? Just sign the contract and let's get it done with" I said rolling my eyes

"Fine then, I'm not interested" he said folding his arms

"I'm leaving, you're pissing me off anyway" I said and stood up to leave with the documents but he stopped me

"I will sign the contract, but just know this. It's not over yet" he said with a deep stare and finally signed the contract

That was easier than I expected! I never knew he was going to call me back, I'm so happy.

I'm fed up with my grandparents rules and I think it's time to step up for myself. I will go into modelling whether they like it or not.

Even if they decide to throw me out of the house, I won't care anymore. I will do what I love and give my all to it.

I got into the car and the driver drove out of the company. I'm so tired, I don't think I will be able to go back to the company.

"Turn the car around, I'm going home" I said to the driver and took out my phone.

Just when we had spent about five minutes on the way, something prompted me to look up. I raised my head and saw the most handsome guy on earth.

He's even more handsome than Kevin Russell. That guy is just so full of himself and I don't ever want to have anything to do with him again.

This guy is handsome but he looks poor to me. The clothes he's wearing are kind of tattered and he's just wearing a cheap sandals.

I stared at him until he was completely out of sight. I would have fallen for him at first sight but he's poor.

I'm not interested in getting married to a poor guy. I want a man that will be able to stand against my grandparents and he's not fit for the task.

I wonder what I'm going to meet when I return home now. I really wish grandma and grandpa will be in their rooms by the time I return home.

⚡Chapter 3⚡

Kathryn's POV

*Next day*

I woke up with a loud bang in my head and held it with my two hands as I tried to sit properly.

I drank a lot last night so this must be the effect. Goodness! I will be having a shoot this afternoon but this annoying migraine won't even let me think straight. I wonder what the time is now.

I managed to get water from the kitchen and took a drug to reduce the migraine. After that, I picked up my phone and checked the time.

I have just an hour left to prepare for the shoot, it looks like I will have to stop drinking. I can't always go late to a shoot.

"Drive as fast as you can, I can't be late today" I said to my driver as soon as I got into the car

"Yes ma'am" he answered politely and the journey to the company soon began

"Do you have to arrive late all the time?" my manager asked immediately I got there

"Really? Why didn't you come over? Isn't that the job of my manager?" I asked with a scoff

"Let's just go" he said and started walking in while I rolled my eyes and walked behind him

I changed my dress and got ready for the shoot. The pictures were taken in no time and I heaved a sigh of relief when we were done.

I changed back to the clothes I wore before and proceeded to leave the company. I had almost gotten to the parking lot when I saw a lady walking towards me.

She looks kind of familiar but I can't seem to remember her clearly. Ohh! Now I know, she was that lady I saw in a magazine.

She's really beautiful just like they said and her skin is so flawless. She catwalked inside the company ignoring me completely while I stared at her until she was out of sight.

What is she doing here? Don't tell me she's here to apply for modelling (gasps)! No, that can't be!

If she decides to become a model, then she will become the number one. I can't let that happen!

No matter what, I have to stop her from becoming a model at all costs if I still want to remain at the top.

I turned around immediately and went back inside the company. I need to know why she's here!

"Where is the girl that came in just now?" I asked a staff I came across

"You mean Miss Campbell? She's with the manager in his office" the staff answered with a smile

With the manager? Is it really what I'm thinking? First, it was Crystal and now her? Just why won't they stop getting on my nerves?

Well, it doesn't matter! I just have to show them who the boss is. No matter what happens, Mitchell Campbell will never rise to the top and Crystal won't go any higher than she already is.

I'm going to be the worst nightmare of both of them. In their next life, they will learn to know their limits and not cross the line.

Mitchell's POV

Saying I'm nervous right now is an understatement. I decided to apply for modelling in one of the biggest companies here but I'm beginning to doubt myself now.

Am I really doing the right thing? My grandparents have pushed me to the wall and I don't think I will take things lightly with them anymore.

My dream has always been to become a model but because my life is controlled by two annoying people, I had to do something else.

I'm going to pursue my dreams from now on and no one can stop me this time around.

After the interview with the manager of the company, I was told to wait outside for a few minutes until the result of my interview is out.

"Miss Campbell, the manager seeks your presence" a lady said to me bowing slightly and I hurriedly stood up

"Have a seat" the manager said as soon as I got in and I sat down gently

"We've gone through your interview and I'm glad to announce to you that you've been hired by our company" the manager said

I placed my palm over my lips to avoid me from screaming down the building. I can finally become a model?

My goodness! This is so great! I can't believe this, it feels like a dream but I know it's not! I'm going to be a model!

"You will undergo a training for six months and then you can start your job as a model. These are the contracts you need to sign, go through them carefully and sign them. You can submit them within three days, we'll be waiting" the manager said with a smile

"Thank you so much sir, I will get back to you soon" I said with a wide smile, shook hands with him and left the office

I'm going to become a model at last, I just can't wait to complete my training within six months.

I got into my car and drove back to the company still in my happy mood. I didn't bring my driver along because it seems like he always reports everything to my grandparents at the end of the day.

I don't blame him though. He has to do that if he wants to get paid.

I parked my car in the driveway and went into my office but I was surprised to meet Hazel seated on my chair.

Hazel is also a granddaughter in the family just like I am but she's extremely spoilt. She's a top actress who gets everything at just the snap of her fingers.

I don't know why she despises me so much but I don't think I care. I also don't like her one bit so we are even.

"Where is my sister coming from? Were you given a day off?" she asked mockingly

"I've been here for close to an hour now and you are just returning to the company. I asked your workers and they said you didn't go for any meeting that concerns the company so where were you?" she asked staring directly at me

"Where was I? Who do you think you are to ask me that question? Wherever I went to is none of your business. I will advise you to stay away from me if you don't want me to do something awful. Get lost!" I said sternly

"I should get lost? You aren't even scared about what I will tell Grandma?" she asked tauntingly

"To hell with whatever you want to tell her, I don't care. Leave my office now!" I screamed at her

"Really? Fine then! I'm going to tell them you went out with a guy, just wait and see" she threatened

"Is it a crime to go out with a guy? I'm no longer a baby, I'm more than old enough to get married so get your silly self out of this office else I will call the security to throw you out. I'm sure you won't like that" I said with a smirk

"Hmmph!! I'm leaving" she said and left

Oh goodness! I'm fed up already! For how long do I have to endure this? I might just end my life soon!

Chris POV

I sat quietly in the parking lot and just stared at nothing in particular. We are currently on a short break because we worked overtime yesterday.

Ever since that lady insulted me yesterday, I haven't been myself. She called me a pauper and said I smell awful.

Am I really that bad? It's not my fault that my parents left me at a young age or is it? I don't even remember what they look like and I'm still striving to survive.

Should I just commit suicide and end everything? I'm tired already. As a guy, there are many things I'm supposed to do but I can't even afford three square meals daily so how am I to accomplish my dreams?

If only I was from an average home and my parents didn't die, I won't end up becoming a mockery like this.

"Time up! Time up! Return to the restaurant and resume your duties, we don't have much time" the manager announced and I felt like strangling him

We shouldn't have been given a break from the start. This doesn't seem like a break to me,.I doubt if we were even given ten minutes to rest.

We worked non stop until it was time to go home and I heaved a sigh of relief. I collected my pay for the day and also took dinner with me before leaving the restaurant.

I hadn't gone far when some guys suddenly double crossed me. They were looking dangerous with tattoos and piercings all over and I gulped hard.

I don't know who they are so why are they standing in front of me? Have I don't something wrong?

"Where is the money you received today?" one of them asked and puffed out smoke

They all had cigarettes in their mouth and they puffed out smoke at my face.

"I don't like repeating myself so I'll suggest you answer me before I loose it" the guy said again

"I.... please, let me go! The pay I received isn't even much and I've been working non stop since morning. I have to pay my house rent else my landlord will throw me out" I pleaded

"Who asked for your explanation? Just give us the money before we do something you won't like" they threatened

"Please.... I.." I was still stuttering when a punch landed on my face

They searched my body and finally found the pay I just received. No, this is not happening!

"For stressing us this much, we are going to teach you an unforgettable lesson" they said and was about beating me up when a car suddenly flashed it's lights

They took to their heels and left me lying helplessly on the floor.

"Young man, are you okay?" the man who drove the car asked me after he got down from his car

"I'm fine sir, thank you" I said and stood up

"Are you sure you are fine?" he asked with concern and all I did was nod my head

"Let's go to a restaurant nearby" he offered and drove me to a restaurant different from ours

"So will you mind telling me what happened?" he asked after ordering for food and drinks

I explained everything that happened to him and when I was done, I saw him staring at me pitifully.

"I'm so sorry about that, how much is the money?" he asked gently

"It was $50 but don't worry, I will go to work tomorrow and earn another one" I said avoiding his gaze

My eyes are teary as it is and the tears might just drop anytime soon, I don't want to look weak before anyone.

"Let's eat before the food gets cold" he gestured and I nodded my head and picked my spoon

As soon as the food went into my mouth, I closed my eyes in ecstasy and savoured the taste for a few seconds.

This feels ....... heavenly! We only eat leftovers so I've not had this kind of meal before. I opened my eyes and started eating hurriedly without giving myself a breathing space.

"Slow down! The food is not going anywhere and you might choke at this rate" the man said worriedly while I bowed my head in embarrassment

I gulped down the whole glass of wine and refilled the glass. Never have I ever tasted such sweet wine!

So this is what it feels like to be rich? I get to eat delicious food and drink sweet wine? It's like paradise on earth.

"I'm Williams Campbell and this is my business card, you can always call me whenever you need anything. I have to leave now!

Take this as a gift from me to you. I've paid for the food already so just go home and rest okay? See you soon" the man said and left

So there are still good people like Mr Williams on this earth? I pray he continues to prosper, God bless him for me.

I took the money he put on the table and was surprised to see $5000. Wtf! Did he think I said $5000?

I will have to keep this money until when next we meet, he must have made a mistake.

I kept the money properly and poured the rest of the wine into a bottle before leaving.

Home! Sweet home! Here I come!
