Chapter 56: Charlie Meets Jake
Chapter 56Charlie turned his head toward the right—where he had heard his name—and he squinted at the figure, his eyebrows furrowing. Then suddenly, recognition flickered in his eyes.“Jake Anthony?” Charlie reciprocated, a smile forming on his lips. The young man with a child-like facial expression, around the age of thirty, older than Charlie, was no other than Jake Anthony, Charlie's colleague at the bar where he was working before resigning on his own after a significant turnaround in his life. He was dressed in a white cloth and slightly torn black trousers. “Hey Jake," Charlie walked up to him, giving him a handshake, “how are you doing?" “I'm not good, man," Jake responded, a faint smile on his face as he looked closely at Charlie. “You look good, man. What's the way forward? And yeah, you haven't been coming to serve at the bar lately. Did you inform Boss about it, or have you gotten a new job? You can link me up.”Charlie smiled. "I haven't. I just couldn't cope with the
Chapter 54: The Cashier's Mistake
Chapter 55The manager glared at her. “What the hell are you talking about?" The cashier smirked. “You don't have to worry yourself. The thing here knows what I'm talking about." The manager clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white. His lips parted as if he was going to say, but before he could, the cashier had already turned to Charlie and was saying.“You think that that replica you're putting around your neck is going to work on me?" Her voice was filled with ridicule. "You might have ended up deceiving my boss with it, but you can't do it to me. I'm familiar with all these useless tricks.” Charlie's face didn't twist with anger. He just folded his arms, staring at her, amused. “I would advise you apologize before it's too late. I might be kind enough to show you some mercy, who knows?” The cashier scoffed. “Apologize to you so you could show me mercy?” She laughed, clearly finding Charlie's words funny. "I think you're the one at my mercy. Maybe you should start begging
Chapter 54: The Cashier Lash at Charlie
Chapter 54“They deserve more than that, Sir," the manager replied, his voice dripping with disappointment as he continued. “You won't believe there's always staff training conducted here, yet no, they still behave like animals.” He sighed. “That's why I want to assist you personally. Just come with me, and I'll show you the best nes." He led Charlie to the showcase, pointing at various types of phones that were neatly arranged there. “Yes, you'll definitely love this one," the manager said, retrieving one of the phones from the showcase. “This is an iPhone made by Apple Inc. It's one of the latest smartphones. Once you have this, you immediately attract respect for yourself.”"Ladies will flock around you,” he smirked, "You can have a look." Charlie collected it and began to turn it around, carefully scrutinizing it. It was a sleek, titanium-framed smartphone with a nearly bezel-less edge-to-edge display. It featured Apple’s most powerful A19 Bionic chip, an upgraded AI-driven c
Chapter 53: The Gadgets
Chapter 53“Alright, thank you," Charlie appreciated.“You're welcome, master. Anything for you." As the call ended, Charlie walked back to the scene, keeping a composed appearance, his hands tucked casually into his pockets. The crowd was still gathered there, whispering among themselves as they listened to the security guard still running his mouth. “Oh, you're finally back," the security guard started, “you said I was digging my own grave, but I can't —”He didn't finish his words when the sound of running footsteps interjected suddenly, causing him to pause and turn around.His eyes swung open as he spotted the manager rushing outside, his heart panting heavily as if being chased by a dog. The security guard nodded firmly as he turned to Charlie, his expression getting dark. “You're finished now! The manager is here." But Charlie didn't utter a word to him. He remained calm, his hands stayed tucked in his pockets.Turning back again, the security guard said to the manager, wh
Chapter 52: Free Gadgets
Chapter 52He felt disgusted at Charlie's presence.Charlie raised an eyebrow and sighed. He wasn't in for this today, and if this security guard doesn't act professionally, he might be forced to take unexpected action.Maybe he may lose his job.“I'm here to get myself a smartphone," Charlie replied, his face twisting into a slight frown. The security guard chuckled, amused. "So you mean I can walk up to Mr. Donald Trump’s, the President of the United States of America, gate and tell his security guard that I want to talk with him?” Charlie looked at him, confused. "What's that supposed to mean?” He deepened his frown, glaring at the security guard.The latter didn't flinch. “No, look at yourself. I mean look at yourself very well, do you look like someone who can afford the least phone in this place? Be honest with yourself." Charlie didn't say anything. His nose flared with rage.The security guard smirked at his silence and he foolishly carried on without knowing who he was tal
Chapter 51: The Security Guard Blocks Charlie's Path
Chapter 51A hint of surprise flashed through Charlie's eyes as he took in the figure. It was the old woman whom he had handed over Paul's apartment to, and after paying double the supposed rent.She was standing there with a small yet dusty square box. “What's that?" Charlie asked. “Please, come inside," he quickly added, stepping aside, letting the old woman slowly enter.“Please, sit down.”Charlie quickly dressed the bed, gesturing for her to sit down.“Thank you." Once seated, the woman held the box up, “Please, take it. It was given to me by my late mother,” she said, a small smile curling at the corners of her lips. Charlie took it and opened it, revealing a delicate string of multicolored glass beads. It shimmered under the light subtly, suggesting age and craftsmanship.“This? This is…..” Charlie's eyes went wide as he took out the necklace, observing it.“Yes, it's a Bajang pendant,” the old woman nodded, "it's a symbol of protection and fertility. My late mother handed
