Lorenzo Rossi- The Quadbillonaire

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

  

Lorenzo looked at the man in suit’s clothing again, and he noticed the gold wristwatch on his wrist, he was hundred percent sure that the watch cost him a fortune, same for his shoes plus all other body accessories he was putting on.

He was rich, the rich always bullied the less privileged and this man was no different, he was being judged because of the way he was dressed.

"Now that you have added Rossi to your name, you expect me to believe you and usher you in, please be smarter next time." The man in suit said angrily. "If you are a Rossi then I own this building." he added spitefully.

He knew how beggars liked to lurk around the Rossi’s Palace and disturb them, so he thought Lorenzo was also a beggar that has motives to beg.

"I should have told you my name first." Lorenzo palmed his face in disappointment. "I am not lying." He insisted.

"You are lying, I'm sure you are one of those beggars that want something. Security!" The man shouted and a security man came running.

"Mr. Giovanni, good morning." The security man greeted the man in the suit. He used a clean handkerchief to wipe the invisible speck of dust on Mr. Giovanni's shoes.

"This idiot would like this man's ass." Lorenzo thought in his head           

Mr. Giovanni pointed at Lorenzo, "He says he is a Rossi, how true is that?"

The security man looked into Lorenzo’s face and he saw a striking resemblance with the Rossis, but Lorenzo's dress ticked the security man off and assured him that he wasn't a Rossi.

The security man cleared his throat as both Mr. Giovannni and Lorenzo looked at him in anticipation to hear what he would say.

"I have not seen this face here all my life, I bet I have seen all the Rossis but you are not one of them. They don't even wear poor-looking and tattered clothes like this." The security man said, and Lorenzo’s Jaw dropped.

He thought the security man had recognized him because of the way he was looking at him, Lorenzo's face fell when he realized the man said in favor of the man in suit.

At first, he didn't believe that he was in the right place but as soon as they mentioned that the Palace belonged to the Rossis, he was sure that his father gave him the right address.

"My father gave him this address," Lorenzo informed him

"You are lying, no son of this family has this kind of terrible clothing that you are wearing. I, their security personnel, don't wear this kind of Bullshit you are putting on." The security man analyzed him. 

"Why do you keep insisting that I'm lying? You can take me in and confirm my identity to satisfy your curiosity." Lorenzo faced the security man.

"I can't do that, it's against my working policy. How do I explain the reason why I'm bringing a haggard-looking beggar in?" The security man barked at him.

Pangs of embarrassment washed through Lorenzo as the security man kept insulting him. He loved the clothes he was putting on, they were old but they were the best of his clothes.

"Young man, you have not shown us any proof that you are a Rossi and we see no reason why you are a member of this family, people like you are begging by the roadside, go and join them and stop acting like a lazy opportunist." Mr. Giovanni adjusted his suit.

"You have come to beg for money and we know it.  Please go and get a job. You can come to my office, I may give you a job as a cleaner." Mr. Giovanni brought out his business card and handed it to Lorenzo.

Lorenzo thought about the transport fare he spent while he was coming, it was too expensive to go back home without seeing his dad. "But I need to see my dad," He begged the security man and Mr. Giovanni.

He didn't have any money to fix his phone or get a new one so there was no way he could contact his dad.

"Okay let's agree this is your dad's place, have you ever been here? The security man asked him.

"No, my dad called to come to see me yesterday and he gave me this address through a text and your friend broke my phone."

"He is my boss's friend." The security man corrected Lorenzo. "I don't think you are at the right place, Mr?"

"Lorenzo Rossi." 

"You are not a Rossi, you are saying Rossi because I mentioned it earlier." Mr. Giovanni said. "Just throw him out." He ordered the security man.

The security man shoved Lorenzo, pushing him out of the gate. Lorenzo stood his ground and resisted the push from the security man.

"Don't push me. I won't leave here with my phone unfixed." Lorenzo yelled with all seriousness.

He didn't want to be cheated. If his father had given him the wrong address he still needed to get his phone in a good shape.

"Stop yelling, you are disturbing the people inside." The security man warned him but he didn't stop.

"What's going on?" A feminine voice called as she walked outside.

Mr. Giovanni adjusted his tie and his suit, because of the beautiful lady that came. She was putting on one of the latest styles in vogue and a pair of expensive heels to match.

Her makeup made her look more attractive and graceful.

"Miss Leonora, you look beautiful today." Mr. Giovanni commented.

"Thank you Mr. Giovannni." She thanked him without sparing him a glance. "What's going on there Roberto?" She said in a thick Italian accent.

"I'm trying to kick out an intruder ma'am." Roberto faced his boss and bowed before her.

"An intruder?" She asked as walked towards them.

"This young man is here to look for the Rossi's corporation and I told him, he's not the man for it." Mr. Giovanni said proudly.

Leonora ignored him and moved closer to Lorenzo.

"Sister!" Lorenzo called, making Mr. Giovanni and Roberto's Jaws drop in surprise.
