“Polaris is not for people like us.” She uttered. She could afford it, but she didn't wanna make him feel too poor. Even if he were to work for a year, he wouldn't be able to afford a fancy restaurant like Polaris.

The luxurious restaurant was for the high and mighty only.

“Just promise you'll come with me. I promise it's my treat.” He replied and they both went to bed.

In the morning, Dexter and Ashanti parted ways. She went for her presentation and he went to his work.

During lunch, Clara, Dexter's ex-girlfriend spotted him walking into the cafeteria exclusive to bank workers.

Then she quickly walked up to him. Without hesitating, she stretched and hand forward saying, “Here– you can have your phone back.”

Dexter looked down at the phone and asked why she was returning it. He had bought this as a gift for her birthday months ago.

“It's an outdated android device.” She muttered, “...and the one Lucas bought for me is the latest iPhone. Since we are no longer dating, you can have it back.” She tells him.

Dexter sighed before collecting the phone.

“But you know Lucas is a fuckboy and still chose him..”

Smack!

Clara slapped him hard on the face.

Whoa! The workers in the cafeteria turned to face them at that instant.

“How dare you insult my man, you poor good-for-nothing lowlife! My friends were right! Dating a broke bastard like you would do me no good!” She shouted.

“At least Lucas pays my bills, takes care of my needs and is even a better fucker than you are!” Her words got the girl covering their mouths with their palm in shock.

“You never even allow me to shake you, how would you know if I'm good in bed?” He frowned. Lucas' lies and affection must have blinded her.

“And that's a win for me!” She barked, taking several steps away from him, “Lucas is a better man than you'll ever be! In loving, fucking, spending and everything!” Then she walked out, leaving Dexter under the watchful gaze of the entire cafeteria.

For some reason, their gaze didn't bother him. He was used to being humiliated.

“Dexter! Come join us!”

Dexter's friends invited him over to sit at their table and have lunch with them but Madison, a rich and pretty girl, who is also Clara's friend didn't like the idea.

“Nicholas? Seriously? Why are you inviting that loser to our table?” Madison frowned, dropping her cutlery.

The drama and tension was still in the air, and Nicholas was quick to invite his friend over? To make them look stupid for hanging out with a poor loser whose girlfriend ditched?

Other workers might look down on her, and it wouldn't be good for her status in the company!

“It's not a big deal, Madi.. he's in the marketing team. And also our friend.” Nicholas stated.

Dexter joined them as he didn't wanna turn them down. Few minutes into enjoying their meals, Madison noticed the entire cafeteria looking at their table.

I mean, Clara was her friend, and seating with the enemy was an abomination to her.

Plus, she never liked Dexter's dressing and his poor personality!

“Argh! I hope you're happy for ruining my mood, Nicholas! Especially you Dexter!” Clara wiped her lips and walked away from them.

She had never felt so embarrassed in her entire life!

The sight of Dexter gives her the freaking creep! She just can’t stand his cringe personality!

Thud!

While Madison was fuming, she bumped into a well dressed young man, and his coffee poured on his white undershirt.

“Watch where you're going punk!” She barked at him.

“Miss, you bumped into me! You should apologise!” The man frowned.

“Kiss my ass!” She shouted and was about to leave when the man pulled her back like she weighed nothing. “You tiny little thing! How dare you try to leave without apologising!”

His tight grip on her hands got Madison going red with anger that she stepped on his foot, bit him and rushed out of the place.

Nicholas, Fatima and the rest of them were left in shock at the stunt Madison just pulled on the gentleman.

Just as they were about to go to her, she had stormed out of the cafeteria.

During closing hours, Nicholas and Dexter heard someone sobbing under the stairs and they decided to take a look.

“Oh my goodness! Madison, why are you crying?” They rushed to her, and luckily, most of her friends were already comforting her.

Madison didn't say anything to them as she kept crying, but one of her friends explained everything to him. “... That was Mr. James White if only she knew. He was so pissed, he used his connection in ruining everything!”

“I would never have bitten him if I knew his status in the society! If my dad finds out, he's going to disown me!” Madison cried.

Dexter remained quiet. He knew an outburst of wrath was never going to end well.

Ringing!

Just then, her phone started ringing. She wiped her tears and cleared her throat the moment she saw that it was her dad.

Before she could greet him, her father started shouting on the other end. “You good-for-nothing woman! As if getting a divorce from your mother to save myself wasn't enough, you had to add yours and ruin things for me!”

“I'll make this right, please forgive me, dad.” She cried.

“How are you going to do it?! You think Mr. James White is just anyone who works in that stupid Bank?! Did you skip your anger management class! Your foolishness is not just going to make you lose your job, it's slowly affecting my business!” He roared on the other end, breaking her heart even more.

“I curse the day your…”

“Dad, please! I'll work something out…” before she could finish, the call ended.

Madison rushed back as she spoke with teary eyes. “Nicholas, Ben, Fatima… you all have to help me… your father is also in the business world… I don't know how to contact Mr. James White, but if I can get through to him, I'll lay down my life to apologize to him… apart from the fact I'm going to get fired tomorrow…my dad's business has been affected!” She cried with so much pain.

They all didn't hesitate. They started making several phone calls. Some called their fathers, grandfather, who are highly Influential but the response they got was as good as useless to this situation.

Turns out, James White was a powerful man who came to inspect the bank. And most of the relatives they called didn't wanna get themselves involved in such a critical case.

“I'll keep trying.”

“My mum said there's nothing she can do.”

“My dad doesn't wanna get involved, not even my aunt.”

Madison felt shattered.

“Dexter… how about you?” Nicholas asked him.

Dexter shrugged. “Alright I'll help her. Just stop crying.”

“I don't need your fucking help!” Madison shouted, and it took Nicholas stopping her from acting irrational for her not to hit Dexter. Maybe her father was right… She does need anger management class.

“Relax mady.. Dexter was only trying to help.” Nicholas stated.

“I never asked for his stupid help! All this is his fault! If you never called him over to the table, then maybe I wouldn't have stormed out the way I did! And maybe this harsh reality would have never happened!” She barked breathlessly, her eyes filled with coldness.

“At least he promised to help..”

“Where is he going to get the help from? The sky? I said I don't want it! Get out, Dexter! I don't need you here, neither do I need your help!” She shouted, pushing him away from her as she cried.

She knows he's a nobody, how could he possibly help her situation?

    Polaris was the most Luxurious restaurant in Chicago. It is an exclusive, ultra-luxurious restaurant nestled in a private area of the city and reserved for the elite. Its marble floors, crystal chandeliers, and handcrafted gold-leaf detailing gave it a luxurious look. Each table is set in its own Polaris-curtained alcove for maximum privacy. The menu is a rotating selection of rare, globally sourced delicacies—think bluefin tuna flown in from Japan, truffle-infused wagyu, and vintage wines from private estates. Entry is by membership only, and reservations can take months—unless you’re on the billionaire list! Not even an average man could afford such a place. Though people at work were rich, none of them were rich enough to afford such an expensive restaurant. First global bank employs the rich kids. Their roles were either manager, consultant, head of the team, who have little to no work to engage in… so Lucas, Clara, Madi, Sarah and 98% of them were just trying to get experience

    Nicholas rushed to Dexter and pleaded on Madison's behalf. “Please understand her pain… I know she can be a hard nut to crack, but she's a sweet girl.” Dexter nods. She was right. It was his fault. And her anger wouldn't stop him from helping her. “Just tell her to stop crying. I'll handle it all.” Was all Dexter said as he stepped out of the place.He retrieved his phone, and immediately called Ivan, his assistant. “Hello? Ivan?”“Yes, boss… good afternoon, sir.” “What do you know about James White?”“He's the chairman of a popular team, sir.” Ivan replied.“You must have heard the rumour flying around. Make sure Mr. White calls off all orders he gave against Madison Bryan and her father's company..” He instructed, his voice firm.“Getting to Mr. White wouldn't be easy, but I'll take care of it.” Ivan replied, his voice a bit skeptical.“Thank you.” Then he ended the call.Beep!{Come to the resort, son, it's important.}Dexter read the text from his uncle.

    Hearing this, Dexter smiled inwardly. Truly, people like her deserve this kind of punishment! “I beg you, sir… don't do this… I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson, I didn't mean to… uh… please don't fire me, I'm begging you… have mercy on me..” She cried out, while everyone who supported her earlier went mute. They weren't sure, but they could tell that Mr. Wilson as they call him is one of those wealthy tycoons that dress casually in order to keep attentions off their backs. Sadly, all her cries fell on deaf ears as the security dragged her out like a ragdoll while she cried, still pleading like it will change the manager's mind. The card was given back to Dexter then he walked out of the bank, not as Dexter the poor loser, but as Dexter the multimillionaire. - Vector dropped his cup on the table as he let out his dissatisfaction and pain to Mr. Fred and the rest of his family members. “....I wasn't even allowed in!” He explained painfully. “We need a second option!” Mr. Fred uttered, scan

    The chairman got involved, and as Dexter tried to defend himself, Sarah had enough proof, even when he suggested they checked the CCTV camera. The way he scanned the purse for minutes, convinced them that he had the intention of stealing. Dexter shook his head. He knew he should have never thought of Clara when he saw that purse. These rich people always find a way to treat him less of a person. Lucky for him, he was too useful at times like this to be fired. His knowledge came in handy on what most of them couldn't handle, so he was pardoned by the chairman. “You might have been lucky this time, I'm not sure about next time!” Sarah spat and stormed off. But Dexter has had enough! When he was done with work, he grabbed his jacket and went straight to Funds Banks. “Good day, ma'am, I'd love to speak with the manager. I don't have a bank card, so I wanna get one.” He uttered politely, but the calm smile on the lady's face was replaced with a frown as she scanned Dexter's old cloth

    Nobody regarded him, he was dragged like a ragdoll and thrown out the gate like a mad man. Dexter's will to live came crumbling down the ground. All his life he had been used, humiliated, insulted, and defrauded. Perhaps if he dies, it will all come to an end. Meanwhile, Mr. Bill stormed into the ward and Vivian immediately lowered her head, “Sir… you should be resting.” “Where is the young man who donated his blood for me?!” Mr. Bill demanded immediately, his tone firm. “Uh…” Vivian swallowed hard, sensing the old man must have heard of her scheme. “Please forgive me, sir… I'll refund it all to him if you want… I haven't touched it yet.” She fell to her knees in tears. She knew how powerful the Wilson family is, and one would have a death wish lying and going against them. “What are you talking about? Where is my grandson!” Bill barked, his aura dark. Dexter, who was about to take a cab to the biggest ocean in Greenville was stopped by several bodyguards and security officer
