GREASE MY PALM
"Good morning," Andrew muttered at the sight of his wife. Seeing her in a short towel around her waist brought back the memory of their few nights together. She peeked at his designer clothes and shoes, shook her head and announced, "It doesn't fit you, Andrew. The man I knew was always dressed in plain clothes and not this thousand-dollar designer." "You are right. Dressing well doesn't change your family's opinion about me." "Because we knew the source of your sudden wealth is questionable-.'. Andrea paused her speech, stepped closer to Andrew and asked in a whisper, "Why did you embarrass Stevenson at the Palace Hotel yesterday?" "I didn't. He started abusing me first." "Shh!" "Oh... He is inside. I don't care." Andrew answered with a shrug. "He said you paid for your meal with a credit card. Where did you see it?" "It's mine. Did anyone report a lost credit card to you?" "Not yet... Just remember that none of my family will stand by you when the cops come looking for you

TO BE BORN WITHOUT A SLIVER SPOON
Andrew had been to many offices during his short time hunting job, yet, the beauties in his front were peerless. The wall is as white as snow, the floor is adorned with white marble, and beautiful cushion chairs with golden covers make the office look like a palace. As for the several gadgets, they can only be seen inside the house of the super-rich. "Please sit down, Andrew." Andrew peeked at the beautiful woman in front as he sat on one of the cushion chairs, and he was mesmerised by her white, long hair that reminded him of a waterfall, her well-shaped face perfected by blue eyeballs, a straight nose, and pink lips. " I was talking to you, Andrew!" He was pulled out of his reverie when Miss Simpson called his name. "Em... Em, I am so sorry, I still don't understand what's going on." "I will explain to you, now. But before then, " Miss Simpson pressed a black button on her table, and Angela hurried inside a minute later. "You called for me, Ma." Her voice shivered when she s

A GIFT FOR THE CELEBRANT
"Here I am, Miss Simpson," Richard muttered when he stepped into the well-furnished office. "How dare you insult my visitor here?" Miss Simpson asked in anger. "I don't know he is your guest. He is my neighbour and I am used to teasing him, even before we meet here." "I don't care who he is to you, or if you have met before," Miss Simpson yelled in resentment, turned toward Andrew and asked, "What is your decision about this man?" "Terminate the contract agreement with him." "What?" "You heard him, Mr Richard. Your contract with us is terminated. You can go with you loads of vegetables." "Please, Miss Simpson. Rejection of my supply will lead to a loss for me." "What is my concern about that? Apologies to the man you insulted and not me." "Apology, Mr Andrew. I am so sorry for treating you with contempt." "You insulted me in public, and now begging me in private." "In that case, I am willing to apologise to you in public," Mr Richard bowed at Andrew, then gestured to him to

TO PAY THE DEBT
All the O'Connor family gathered around the broken vase. "How did it happen?" Danny asked his wife. "I want to put it down, and it slipped from my hand." "You are so careless. Now we have to look for the means to pay this debt." Madam Alice mumbled. "Mistakes can happen to anyone. There is no -." And who put your mouth in this affair? Leave us, Andrew. You are nothing but bad luck," Madam Alice cried out, raised her hand and waved at Andrew to go away. "Since Moana's husband is here, I suggest he should pay for this breaking vase," Timothy who just arrived at the scene announced. "Well... We are here to pick a thousand dollars gifts, and did not plan for this loss." Danny answered back with an ashen face. "I suggest you follow me to the manager's office. Mr Brian O'Connor was a well-known man in this city before his death. I am sure my boss will consider his family." The sales representative gestured to the forlorn-looking members of the O'Connor family to come along with hi

POORER THAN A CHURCH RAT
"You can go with the Cadillac and pay us whenever you have the cash," the manager muttered. "No, I insist you remove the money from my card. You are just a manager and this Mall didn't belong to you." "Yes, Mr Andrew. Nevertheless, I was wrong to seize your family car because of a mere one million dollars loss. Kindly pay back whenever it's convenient for you too." "Okay, then. Can I have the car key?" Andrew spread his hand and then smiled with contentment when the manager handed the car key to his hand. "What about the gift you are here to pick?" The manager stood up from the seat and wobbled after him. And his mind was filled with ways to make Andrew his friend.Surely, this is not a poor man if he has the purple-coloured platinum card with him. "I was thinking of buying that golden Buddha statue, but your sales attendant was so rude to me." "How dare you?.. Please forgive him, Mr Andrew. I will punish him for this grievous offence," the manager gave Steve a killing look an

UNDER ARREST
"What did you say, Alice?" Uncle Sam stepped down the podium, walked towards Alice jerked her by her right arm, and then dragged her out of earshot. "Why did you decide to embarrass your in-law publicly like that?.. I agree the gift is beyond Andrew's means, but we should at least discuss this in private and not publicly," Uncle Sam asked in a whisper. "I hate stealing with passion, and Andrew seemed to be developing from a petty thief to a burglar." Madam Alice let out in a loud voice. "Shh. Stop raising your voice... Where is Andrew?" "Over there. Send someone to call him to defend himself." Uncle Sam nodded his head, and his handsome face suddenly became cringed with worries. After Madam Alice's accusation, the guests who had previously admired Andrew and his million-dollar gift suddenly had frowns on their faces when they learned it was stolen, and most of them promptly avoided Andrew the way they avoided a lepper. "Come over here, Andrew. I have something to ask from you?

LITTLE SECRET
"What is going on over here?" Uncle Sam hurried towards the two cops with a grim look. "We are sorry for storming into your party and creating a scene," one of the two officers answered back. "Barrister Stevenson called our department and informed us that Mr Andrew O'Connor has a fake credit card and that he has been using it to swindle a lot of innocent sellers in this city," the meanest among the two officers declared openly as he jerked Andrew's by his belt and pulled him closer. "There must be a mix-up somewhere," Uncle Sam mumbled and his eyes darted around the room in search of Barrister Stevenson. "There is no mixed up anywhere," Barrister Stevenson who just appeared in an El Gujarat million dollars suit stepped into the hall, and most of the ladies in their presence gawked at him and temporarily forgot the loathsome son-in-law of the O'Connor family. "Wow. Barrister Stevenson is a terrific young man... His sense of dress always left me breathless!" A glamorous lady in a t

BEG FOR MY FOEGIVENESS
The O'Connor family sat in the cushions in front of the mayor, and they were all looking scared because they were expecting the worst from the expressionless-looking man. "Contrary to your expectations, Mr Andrew did not steal the credit card," the mayor let out, drew a breath and resumed after, "he won some money in a raffle draw and the money was paid into his account. The card with him was registered with the account. My investigations show that he is innocent of all these charges." "Thank you, mayor, for explaining this to us. I always tell my people to take it easy with Andrew, I believe that he is a lucky man and will be rich one day." "Enough of your false compliment, Moana," Madan Alice shrieked, raised her right hand and jerked it furiously at Moana, then resumed her yelling, "What will happen to all your sweet tongue and praises when he finished his sudden wealth? I bet you will go back to being his enemy!" "I knew Andrew since childhood, and I believe him when he claimed

TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS BET
Andrew drove into their car park, parked the Cadillac CTS, and was immediately out of the car. He saw Moana walking towards him and was surprised when she held his arm, looked into his, and then let out, "Thank you, Andrew, for not judging us by our past deeds. I am truly sorry for treating you like a bag of trash all this day." "It's nothing. I have learnt to be forgiven to those who err against me," Andrew answered back, then jerked his arm away from Moana's grip, and then handed the Cadillac CTS key into her hand and mumbled, "Please, have this key, and give it to Mary. I don't need your car, and you can forget about the debt." "Oh, my gosh," Moana held Andrew in a tight embrace and tears soon flowed down her pretty face. "We have committed a lot of atrocity against you, and you are very compassionate for treating me with kindness." "I have decided to let bygone to be bygone, and I have forgiven all of you," Andrew answered back when he finally freed himself from Moana's grip.

PUNISHMENT FOR NOT HAVING FAITH
A tall and huge guard in a blue and white uniform glared at the yellow-painted taxi as it parked in front of The palace gate. He stepped out of the security office that is constructed in front of the hotel fence, stormed towards the taxi, raised his left arm, pointed his finger toward a board on the wall, and then yelled out with a voice filled with anger. "Are you blind or you can't read the sign on that post?" Andrew turned towards the shivering driver and offered a smile to reassure him, then poked his head out of the car window and said in a calm voice, "So sorry, officer. I am here to see Miss, Simpson, and I am sure she won't mind if I enter with a taxi." "Damn you, lass," the guard loomed over Andrew, shakes his head in anger, turned towards the driver and yelled "Get this dirty taxi out of here before I break the glasses to pieces. "You lost, Mister," the driver whispered to Andrew as he ignited his taxi. "Not yet," Andrew muttered back and then looked into the glaring e
