Nicolas went ahead to laugh at her stupidity. He brought out his cell phone from his pocket revealing the text message of debit from the bank and pasted it right on her face.
"If you need more proof that I purchased it." He finally added, getting her even more confused than she was already.
Nicolas went ahead towards her and said. "Just because you can't afford it doesn't mean other people can't." She finally said.
Her face was washed up with shame, wishing that she could bury herself right in the dust of the head.
As the sudden professionals of photography in the place took coverage of her face.
Her boss turned over to Nicolas with a sorry look on his face and he finally went ahead to apologize.
For the first time, he finally noticed the sleek texture of the card, unlike anything that he had ever felt before.
Random thoughts ran through his mind as to who this broke-looking but rich kid that was standing right before him could be.
But he didn't dare to spit out another word of inquiry from his mouth, not after what had already transpired in the hall.
"I'm sorry for everything that has happened and I promise that I am especially going to look into this case myself." The manager's voice was laced with so much respect as he spoke.
But Nicolas firmly ignored his words as he went ahead to say.
"Can I get what I purchased already?" There was an indifferent expression hovering on his face.
"Yes sir. I will get this package myself." He replied, turning suddenly towards Evelyn with a stiff smile on his face, making her shiver.
"I am going to call the security team to get me the coverage of what happened. I swear that I am going to make you pay if this was all your fault in the first place."
Evelyn's face broke out in cold sweat knowing that she was going to get into a whole lot of trouble if the manager got a hold of the coverage.
She wanted to speak but he was already walking away, as he brought out his cell phone from his pocket to make a call, making Evelyn shiver even harder with so much fear around her guts.
Soon the manager returned with the cell phone all packaged in a very exclusive taste.
Soon, a group of men dressed in security uniforms made their way into the place towards the manager.
Getting over to him, they bowed slightly, pushing a tab towards his direction.
"This is the coverage that you asked for sir." They replied, making Evelyn's feet freeze on the spot right where she was standing.
The manager took the tab swiftly from them and his eyes scanned through the evidence that laid before him with a thick frown hovering on his face.
"I can't believe this." He muttered at irregular intervals and after a while, he paused, turning over to Evelyn with a deadly glare hovering on his face.
"Do you realize what you have done? Do you realize that everyone watched you lie that he was a thief when he did no such thing and that only could discredit the company?" He was gradually blowing off with so much anger
The only thing that Evelyn could do was shiver, as she tried to make out words but nothing was forthcoming.
"I'm sorry sir. I don't know what came over me." He pleaded but there was not a single sign on the manager's face that she was going to be forgiven.
Even with her eyes already flooding with tears, she went ahead to sir.
"You will be sorry for what you have done." He growled under his breath and turned over to the security officers.
"Order her out of this place. Since she isn't ready to respect customers, she isn't fit to work here." He finally decided.
The words struck her like lightning bolts and for a while, she was transfixed in her stare. Evelyn knows how difficult it was to get a job In the city already. And with a bad report to her name, it was going to be close to impossible.
"Please, sir." She continued pleading but all her pleading fell on deaf ears.
"Take her away." Those Were the only words that the manager muttered.
[ Ding: Host gradually running out of time ] The system resounded in Nicolas's heart.
He knew that he had to leave there as soon as possible.
Nicola's head made a sudden spin throughout the hall and caught the attention of a poor man with a child in his arms.
He walked gradually towards the man and handed it over to him. "For you sir." He said.
The stranger could not believe the words as he went ahead to appreciate Nicolas. Everyone was stunned but as they stared at him with awe, he made his way gradually out of the hall.
He could still see his friends waiting for him at the far end and he went ahead to meet them.
"Great acting you pulled off over there so that we will think that you are doing something important there." They burst out in mocking laughter.
But in a calm state, Nicolas raised the package and their jaws dropped.

Chapter 57.The woman's eyes raked over Nicholas, taking in his wrinkled shirt, his worn jeans and his scuffed shoes.Her lip curled into a wicked smile. "Look at you," she said, her voice dripping with disdain. "You look like you can barely afford to eat, let alone buy pizza."Nicholas's jaw clenched. "What does that have to do with anything?""It has everything to do with it," the woman snapped at him. "People like you…" she gestured vaguely at him, "...are always looking for an easy score."Nicholas's chest tightened, heat rising in his face. "I didn't take your wallet.""Then prove it," the woman said, stepping closer. "Empty your pockets.""No," Nicholas said firmly.The woman's eyes widened. "No?""I'm not guilty," Nicholas said, his voice low and controlled. "I'm not going to let you search me like some criminal just because you lost track of your wallet."The woman's face flushed red. "You're refusing because you're hiding something.""I'm refusing because I have rights," N

Chapter 56.The next morning came with soft light filtering through the recovery room window.Nicholas woke in the chair beside Rebecca's bed, his neck stiff while his back ached from another night spent sitting upright.He blinked slowly, his eyes adjusting to the light.Rebecca was awake.Her eyes were open, clearer than they'd been since the surgery, her gaze fixed on the ceiling."Becca?" Nicholas said, his voice rough from sleep.Rebecca turned her head slowly, her eyes finding his."Morning," she said.Her voice was still hoarse, but stronger now.More like herself.Nicholas sat up straighter, relief flooding through him. "How are you feeling?""Sore," Rebecca said with a faint smile. "But better."Nicholas smiled back. "You look better."Rebecca's eyes drifted around the room, taking in the monitors, the IV stand,though the IV had been removed late last night,the sterile white walls."How long have I been here?" she asked."A few days," Nicholas said. "But the surgery was two

Chapter 55.The day after surgery moved slowly.Way Too slowly for Nicholas's troubled mind. He sat beside Rebecca's bed in the recovery room, his chair pulled close while his eyes remained fixed on her face.She was awake now, but barely.Her eyes opened and closed in slow intervals, her breathing shallow but steady.The oxygen mask was gone, replaced with a nasal cannula that hissed softly.Nicholas reached out, his hand resting gently on hers."Hey," he said quietly.Rebecca's eyes fluttered open, shifting toward him.Her lips moved slightly, but no sound came out."Don't try to talk," Nicholas said quickly. "Just rest."Rebecca's fingers twitched under his, a weak attempt at a squeeze.Nicholas smiled faintly, his throat tight.A nurse came in a few minutes later, checking Rebecca's vitals, adjusting the IV."She's doing well," the nurse said, glancing at Nicholas. "Better than expected, actually."Nicholas nodded, relief flooding through him. "That's good.""She'll need help wi

Chapter 54.Agnes stepped closer, her expression softening slightly. "Nicholas, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for him to overhear…”"Stop," Nicholas said sharply, cutting her off.Agnes paused mid-step, her eyes widening slightly wondering what he meant. Nicholas turned to face her fully, his jaw tight while his hands still trembled from the confrontation with Mikey."Stop being so casual with me," he said, his voice low and hard. "You don't get to do that."Agnes's expression shifted immediately.Her features tightened, her posture straightening, the warmth draining from her face.When she spoke again, her voice was cool, professional and distant."Mr. Keiser," she said formally. "I apologize if I overstepped."Nicholas's chest rose and fell heavily. "You did.""Noted," Agnes replied, her tone clipped.Nicholas shook his head, frustration boiling over. "Just stay out of my life."Agnes's eyes narrowed. "I can't do that.""Yes, you can," Nicholas shot back. "You're my lawyer. Handle the

Nicholas turned around slowly, his eyes still locked on Agnes.He crossed the waiting room, his footsteps measured, his mind racing.When he reached her, he stopped, keeping his voice low."What are you doing here?" he asked.Agnes's expression didn't shift. "Looking for you.""How did you even know where I was?"Agnes tilted her head slightly. "I'm your lawyer, Nicholas. It's my job to know where my clients are. Especially when they go dark for days."Nicholas's jaw tightened. "I've been busy.""Busy," Agnes repeated, her tone clipped. "Several people are trying to find Mr. K. Did you know that?"Nicholas's chest tightened."People have been asking questions," Agnes continued."Making inquiries. And you haven't contacted me in days. No calls. No messages. Nothing.""I told you, I've been…”"Busy," Agnes finished. "Yes, you said that. But when my client disappears and people start sniffing around, I get worried. I thought something might have happened to you."Nicholas exhaled slowly.

The delivery came faster than Nicholas expected.He'd barely finished wiping down the last of the kitchen counters when his phone buzzed.Delivery Notification: Your order has arrived.Nicholas's heart jumped.Already?He hurried down the stairs, taking them two at a time, and pushed through the building's front entrance.A delivery truck sat at the curb, the back doors already open.Two men stood beside it, clipboards in hand."Nicholas Keiser?" one of them asked."That's me," Nicholas said, slightly breathless.The man nodded and gestured to the truck. "We've got quite a load for you."Nicholas watched as they unloaded box after box.The pastel pink comforter. The matching pillows. The white lace curtains.A bedside lamp with a soft cream shade. A plush rug. Decorative throw pillows.Even a small vase he'd added at the last minute.Nicholas signed for everything and helped carry the boxes upstairs, his arms straining under the weight.It took three trips.By the time the last box wa
