Badmus voice carried both the mix of empty disappointment and false anger that was theatrical, believable. "She just showed how incompetent she is, and I'm highly disappointed at the level!" He spat, his belly shaking. "That expensive gown is the costliest in the boutique and clearly told her not to reveal the surprise until I give the cue!" "I need to report to the Manager about this act of unprofessionalism." He reached for his phone on the nightstand, Julianna held his hand gently, stopping him. She pressed her head to his bare shoulder, her arm wrapped around arm affectionately. "I'm flattered, Baby," She cooed, "you got the latest designer for me." Then she sat up and looked at him like Badmus was something treasurable. "That design cost $25,000! Limited Edition. Exactly the type I had always wanted to purchase." Her cheek flushed with excitement. "And you got it for me!" Badmus on the other hand continued to reel about how the dress got purchased. $25,000? A single pair? The

At the other end of the screen, Belinda, the young beautiful woman was setting up her set room for a scheduled live stream. The room was average size, painted in white colour with butterflies images muraled on it in black paint giving it both a warm and natural ambiance. She set her camera on the tripod standing in front of a table and sat down on a chair in front to commence the life stream, but it was at that moment a sharp knock that would unsettle the night came on the door. Her finger paused on the screen, she turned to the door, watching her mother, Mrs. Ashford, his mother walks inside the room, her hair pulled back with a faded ribbon, mixed with grey and black. "Mum, I'm about to start a live stream, can we talk later please? Moreover it's late already." "It's important, Belinda." The woman said, closing the door behind her with a gentle click and walking in further. Belinda exhaled sharply, frowning slightly because she was aware of what her mother's discussion was all a

Kane decided not to send a comment, that a gift might brighten up her face seeing that the comments were barely working to shift her forced mood. He looked through the gifting section, scrolling to the bottom to find the most expensive gift on the list. He found it. The universe. It cost $470. "Good." Kane nodded his head gently and transferred enough money to his T****k account. He clicked on the universe gift and sent it to Belinda. The universe icon rolled up on the screen. At that moment, Belinda gasped, her eyes widening in surprise and disbelief. "Kane001. Wow. Thank you for the universe gift." She gushed, her cheek flushing with excitement now. "Thank you so much for the gift, Mr. Kane." The comment section rushed with flurries of comments compared to before Kane sent the gift. "Wow. That is the Universe. It cost $470." "Mr. Kane must be rich. $470 is tangible." Belinda kept expressing her gratitude to Kane, her smile brightening even more. "Mr. Kane are you a new f

Kane clicked on the message and the text from Fredrick Hanz displayed on the screen reeking of arrogance. "Hey there, Kane. Trying to impress my babe with your cheap gift, Huh. Stay off her." Kane scoffed. Then he smiled faintly. He decided to ignore the message and closed the app. He put out the screen light and placed the phone on the side table and laid face up on the smooth bed, allowing sleep to take over his consciousness. He woken up the next morning with a scream and a slam of his door, he jerked awake on the bed to see Fred already at his bed, his pajamas unbuttoned like he was chased down by something dangerous, but the expression on his face was contrasting. "What the heck, Fred." Kane narrowed his eyes to him. Fred couldn't speak at first. His eyes fixed on the spider-webbed screen of his decade old phone, his mouth parted instinctively, still trying to process what he was seeing on the screen. "Kane..you won't believe this..you won't.." His voice trembled with mixe

When are you coming to the mansion, Master?" "When I'm done handling things over here. I'll be home." He said quickly then added. "The main reason I called you is about my friend. His name is Fred Neager. I need you to make a job arrangement for him in one of my family companies. Make the process clean. I mean make sure you find an outstanding reason to let him get employed. He's into finance. I'll push him to the opportunity. Your job is to hook him." "As you wish, Master." Jackson clipped, his voice firm and respectful. "I'll recommend Everest financial. The biggest in the country." "Good." Kane nodded with a faint smile on his lips. "Make it work." "Definitely, Master." Kane snapped the call and exhaled softly. He put back the phone into his pocket and stepped out of the bathroom to plant the job opportunity that had already been decided before Fred. Meanwhile across the city, Belinda barely slept through the night thinking about the previous night's live stream, a rare mom
