“Huh?” Anthony tried to pretend. “Know that? No, I don't,” he stuttered. “Was just trying to ask as it's a normal thing expected.” He managed to steady his voice a bit. “Or ain't they give you upfront payment?” He asked. Sarah was hesitant. She felt something odd after Anthony asked her the question. His voice was unwavering, but now he stuttered. However, she finally replied. “They just did after you left. Five million dollars.” “Wow, that's huge!” Anthony faked surprise. “You're such a big lady now.” Sarah's smile was measured. “It’s all because of you,” Sarah said, her voice a note of emotion. “Thank you, Anthony. Can you, please, relay your account details, so I can send something to you at least?” She asked.But there was no response. At that time, Anthony's eyelids had already grown heavy and he began to drift off to sleep, unconscious of Sarah's last statement. Soon, he slept off, his phone dropping out of his hand, sinking onto the bed. “Have you slept off already, lit

About an hour later, a sleek Honda Fit pulled into the compound. It drove to the parking space and then its engine stopped. The driver's door opened and Charlotte stepped out of the car. She slammed the door softly, briefly glanced around, then found her way inside.She became the centre of attention as everyone in the lobby started to look at her—some with admiration and some with jealousy. Charlotte noticed their stares, but she didn't exchange any glances with them. “Good morning, ma’am,” the receptionist quickly greeted her, bowing her head slightly. “How may we help you today?” She asked, respect in her voice.Unarguably, Charlotte was looking stunning that morning and her appearance commanded respect. Charlotte adjusted her sunglasses slightly. “I need to speak with the chairman,” she responded, her voice calm but firm. The receptionist shook her head slightly, her voice shaking as she replied. “I'm sorry, but you can't see him.” “Why?” Charlotte pulled out her sunglasses,

Anthony bit his lips, trying to come up with a response. “Just need something comfortable, spacious, and modernized. And for my budget,” he started, “don't actually know how property is being sold here, but let's just say I'm not limited.”His voice wasn't quivering at all. Joseph winked, slightly taken aback by his confidence. He looked completely serious and showed no sign of incapability. “Okay,” Joseph shifted slightly, “I can see you're ready for this. You will have to come with me to my office, let's see things, so you can choose your preference.”Anthony nodded, his demeanor composed. As they entered the spacious, luxurious office, Joseph pulled out a chair for Anthony and said.“Right here. Please, sit down,” he said respectfully.“Thank you,” Anthony settled down, taking in the elegantly furnished office. He could see different framed certificates on the table, etc, and even a large screen showing pictures of beautiful villas.His face brightened with interest immediately.

As they got to the counter, a lady, the attendant, professional and neatly dressed, stopped what she was doing. She looked up at them. Joseph briefly narrated. “He just selected one of our villas, and he's here to make payment to finalize everything.” The attendant nodded, glancing at Anthony, impressed. He leaned lightly against the desk, his expression calm.“Thank you for considering our company, sir,” the attendant said. “But how much is the villa worth that he's making payment for?”“Five hundred thousand dollars,” Anthony responded, his voice casual. “Five hundred thou—what?” She tried to repeat, but her breath caught in her throat. Her eyes widened in shock as they swept over Anthony completely. He was still a young man.How, then, is it possible he wants to purchase a villa worth such an amount? She muttered to herself, still looking at him.Her once impressed expression changed to an unimpressed one. “Young man,” she snapped, her voice in a way that wasn't offensive. “Are

Not long enough, a man dressed in a perfect crisp white suit came into view. He stepped forward to where Joseph was standing with someone whose face he could barely register. Seeing him, Joseph briefly introduced them to each other. “Mr. Anthony, this is Edward,” he said, “he'll be taking you to the estate to show everything you need to see or know about the villa.”Turning to Edward, Joseph added. “And Edward, this is Mr. Anthony, our most potential client. He just purchased a villa—number 10 in the Coral Tide Section. Take him there, guide him through everything, and stop at nothing until he's satisfied.” Edward nodded his head. “Sure, sir. I will do just that.” He turned to Anthony and uttered politely. “Mr. Anthony, if you're ready, we can proceed to see the villa.” “Of course,” Anthony said. “Let's go.”As they took off on their heels to leave, Joseph couldn't help but stand in a place, staring at Anthony, his mouth slightly open. Even after Anthony's figure disappeared into

After about an hour of driving, Anthony arrived at the gate of Luxoria Homes.A big sleek black iron gate stood tall at the entrance. The high walls surrounding the estate were lined with lush greenery. The estate's name, ‘Luxoria Homes,’ was boldly displayed above the gate.As the car approached further, Anthony could see security guards at the gate entrance. He nodded to himself, impressed.Edward, who had been studying him, then said, “This is just one of the benefits of choosing to get properties from us. Tight security. You're highly safe in here,” he said, but Anthony didn't respond or even look at him.The unified security guard flagged down the car. “Who are you?” He asked after Anthony rolled down the glass. “He’s with me,” Edward pulled out himself as he responded over Anthony's shoulder, ensuring the security guard could read the badge on his cloth.The guard glanced at it very well and seeing it was one of the company staff members, he shifted aside. “Please, carry on,”

His eyes remained wide with surprise and disbelief. “I would have doubted it if someone had told me I would own a place like this,” he muttered again, his eyes never stopping to glance around. Feeling relaxed in his acquired villa, Anthony leaned forward, grabbed the remote from the table, and turned on the large TV mounted on the wall. The light from the TV shone bright inside the room, flickering into Anthony's eyes, causing him to blink slightly. Two figures appeared on the screen; their size was large as if they were right there in the room with Anthony. It was a K-drama movie.Anthony leaned back, crossing his legs, relaxed. His eyes were fixed on the movie as he watched the tall, handsome guy grab the beautiful lady to himself, his grip soft. Her hand pressed against his chest, his lip moving close to hers.Right when he was about to pick up interest in the romance scene of the movie, his mind shifted, a thought striking in.His eyes were still on the TV screen, but his mind

As Charlotte observed their panic growing, she immediately laughed out loud, causing them to look at each other in surprise. “Don't panic,” Charlotte said happily. “We're getting the deal soon.” Aria furrowed an eyebrow. “What do you mean?” She asked. “That's because Liam said so,” Charlotte responded.“Seriously?” Harry stepped in. He hastily took a seat beside Charlotte. “He really said that?” He asked, skepticism in his eyes. Charlotte nodded her head in confirmation, clearing his doubt. “Yes, he did.” Aria's jaw dropped in shock. She could sense the genuineness in Charlotte's voice. Besides, she wouldn't joke about things as serious as this. She believed her. “Wow!” She shouted in excitement. “This is worth celebrating.” “Definitely!” Harry supported, his tone with joy. He turned to Charlotte. “Please, tell us how it got to this.” “Yes, Charlotte. Harry's right. We need to know how this is possible. Because I don't believe this is actually happening.” She immediately took

There was a pause from the other end before Sarah finally responded. “Well, I asked you to send your account details. You know you've really been supportive; it won't be bad if it's reciprocated,” she uttered, her voice sincere.There was a brief moment of silence on the line, as if it were the most surprising thing to ask. Anthony felt his face flushed with slight embarrassment although Sarah meant not to sound any bit out of place. He ended up chuckling softly to himself. “Huh? My account number? You want to reciprocate my support for you by sending me money?” He asked as if he didn't hear anything she said at first. “I think that's the most absurd thing I've heard today.” Sarah's face blushed with shame. “Why do you say that?” She asked, a hint of frustration in her voice. “You really made it sound like I don't have anything I'm doing,” Anthony sighed. “Anyway, it's fine. I appreciate your kind gesture but it would be nice if you used the money for yourself. It'll go a long way

Harry set his phone down and hurried to her almost immediately. “What is it?” He asked, panic in his voice. “What's the matter?” He repeated, sincerely worried, his heart beating without cause. Charlotte's face went pale as she jumped out of the bed, the earlier smile on her face nowhere to be seen. She turned to look at Harry to explain, but her throat dried, completely out of words. She couldn't form any words. “Talk to me,” Harry pressed on, his patience wearing thin. “What did you see?” Charlotte’s finger trembled as she pointed at her laptop. “T—that,” she mumbled, her lips shaking with disbelief. “They pulled out. We lost them. Investors.” She managed to stammer out her words. Harry's gaze followed her finger and it landed on the screen. He leaned forward, taking a full look at the screen. His eyes widened also, his head almost exploding in shock. He tried to ask, “What happened to the previous chart?” but he couldn't, feeling a lump in his throat. “They no lo
