The Boss

Robin's eyes widened in shock when he looked at himself in the mirror. His skin had turned fresher and he looked fairer than his normal self.

"Is this a dream?" He asked, himself as he touched his face, slightly. And then he noticed that his hair looked sleeker and when he touched it, it was so soft. He had never even used a hair or skin care product before and now he gets all the care, just by performing tasks.

"Are you there? Squandering System." He muttered those words as he was desperate to see what had provided him with all these. Up until this moment, he was surprised that he was now a millionaire!

[Yes, I am always here! You have successfully performed today's task and you have used up your points. Ensure to perform the next task to also gain points for your use.]

The system said in a robotic voice as a screen was before Robin's eyes. He continued to look at his balance and he couldn't even keep his eyes away from it.

"What have you been staring at, Robin?" He heard his roommate say and immediately, he snapped out of his thoughts.

"Did you say something?" Robin asked as he turned to look at his roommate, Mac. They had been living together since they started college. Like him, Mac was also a poor guy but then he couldn't be considered a church rat like how Robin used to be.

"Yes! You have been staring at the mirror..." Mac started to say but then his tone drawled out. A look of surprise and astonishment flashed across his face as he moved closer to Robin.

"Why do you look so different?" He asked and on the other hand, Robin frowned as the system screen disappeared. Mac had interrupted his moment and he was a bit irked but he didn't say anything about it.

"Do I?" Robin asked, with raised brows as he knew what Mac was talking about.

"Did you do a skincare routine? Where would you even get the money to do that? Why do you look so handsome, suddenly?" Mac asked with wide eyes as he tried to touch Robin's face but he was quick to draw back.

"What? Is there something you are not telling me?!" Mac asked, with a frown seeing the way Robin drew away from him.

"Well, I'm not hiding anything." Robin replied as he tried to think of what to say to his friend. He couldn't tell Mac the secret of the system as it was exclusive to him alone.

"I got free sessions from a skincare brand and they dolled me up." Robin answered, in one breath. Although he felt uneasy that he had to lie, he could not help it. He was a very honest person and now his life was slowly changing.

Moving on, Robin tried to avoid every other question Mac asked as he couldn't disclose his secret.

Hours had passed and Robin was starting to panic. The system had told him to squander 5 million dollars in three days but then he did not even know what to do.

"Hey, Robin. You have been staring so absentmindedly, these past few hours." Mac asked and Robin turned to look at him. He was thinking about a lot but as he saw his roommate dressed and ready to leave for school for a night class, his eyes widened.

"You are off to college, right? How do you want to get there?" Robin asked as he stood up to his feet.

"I'll take the bus. Why are you asking such a question?! You know what we do." Mac said as he looked at Robin with narrowed eyes.

On the other hand, Robin danced with joy inside him. For a long time, most students would have to travel long distances to college with high costs including him. He knew how much students suffer to get transport fares.

"Why don't we set up a logistics company?" Robin spoke up immediately with eyes filled with so much eagerness. He had the funds supplied by the system and now he was going to put it to good use.

However, Mac suddenly burst into a peal of mocking laughter. He looked down on Robin so much as he never thought he would say something like that.

"A logistics company? Where do you want to get the capital from? Do you even know what you are saying?" He asked and Robin looked back at him with a serious expression.

Robin didn't look like he was joking at all and he didn't bother to feel offended by his mocking laughter knowing that he actually had the funds. Mac just had the wrong thinking about him.

"Are you really serious about the whole logistic thing?" Mac asked with a surprised look.

"Yes!" Robin replied, with a determined look. With the help of the system, he knew he could get anything done. That was how much he trusted the Squandering System now.

___

Robin and Mac walked out of a large garage with happy smiles on their faces. They had managed to secure a location for their new company. It was an abandoned site and in days, they were able to transform it.

"This is too good to be true!" Mac screamed, with joy as he whirled around Robin. When Robin had told him about his plans, he was skeptical. Although Mac had agreed to Robin's plan in the end, he decided to watch until the plan fell through. But now, Mac had been proven wrong.

"Relax, Mac. This is just the first step!" Robin said in a calm tone although he was very excited inwardly. Over the past two days, he had learned to be calm. He didn't know if it was because of the change in him but then he thought that it was a good thing.

"Then what is the next step?" Mac asked.

"Getting the cars and we will publicize our opening on all school platforms. Our company is just to aid students in their journey to and fro from college." Robin said and Mac nodded, excitedly.

It was just one day left for him to spend the 5 million dollars and all he had to do was to get the cars and buses they would need.

A few hours later, Robin made the transaction with the car dealer. As he walked out of the building, the system screen appeared before his eyes and he smiled.

[Congratulations! Robin Claire, you have successfully squandered $5 million in three days. In fact, you did that even before the deadline!]

The system's voice rang in his head and he nodded, complacently. Even though he did not squander the money, most of his decisions were made on a whim.

[You have received $10 million and 6 squander points and as always, you can use it to enhance your looks, body, and skills. Also, you have to spend the money in three days!]

As Robin heard the system's voice in his head, he thought about what to do but he had no idea now. He decided to think about it later.

Soon, he was back home with his friend, Mac and they were about to take their next step.

On the other hand, side of the city, a post suddenly popped up in the school's forum.

OPENING IN TWO DAYS! CLAIRE'S LOGISTICS WILL BE OPENING TO ALL STUDENTS! BUSES AND CARS WILL BE AT THE DISPOSAL OF STUDENTS FROM ANY LOCATION OF YOUR CHOICE! AFFORDABLE BUS FARES FOR EVERYONE!

Immediately, the post started to climb the charts in the school's social media forum. They knew how hard students who lived off-campus traveled from their homes and most students were elated by the news.

"Oh, I can't wait!" One of the students dropped a comment.

"I hope this is going to work!" Another student said and the others chorused as well. So many people have tried to create a logistics company for the students but they couldn't keep up.

However, a comment suddenly broke the calm, and everywhere turned rowdy.

"Guys! Attention! Do you all know that the new logistics company allegedly belongs to the school's church rat, Robin Claire? He is the Boss!" This comment caused an uproar as almost everyone knew who Robin was.

No one could believe that someone like that could create something like a company.

  • Vacation

    “Did you find anything?” Robin asked as soon as Leon came back and the old man nodded. “He is telling the truth,” Leon said simply causing Robin to look at Arti with a probing look. However, he didn't want to probe too much as what he needed to do now was to find Angie. “I think you need to go back to the underworld. They abducted her.” Arti chipped. “I hate to say this but if we don't act fast, Angie might die.” “Shit!” Robin cussed in anger and punched the air. He didn't want to go back there at all. But then the dark band was still with him and there was no way they wouldn't look out for him. “Get ready, we are leaving!” He ordered and then turned to go to his bedroom with Leon to prepare. On the other hand, Arti smirked in victory. He was the one who planned the abduction. No matter what, he wanted his previous boss, Bruce’s legacy to go on. He would do everything to get Robin back there. Arti was itching to put more bullets into the heads of people and he couldn't do that

  • Abducted

    “Are you okay?” Robin asked as he patted down on Angie’s hair. He led her into his bedroom and Angie could only smile sheepishly. “Tell me what you want to eat. I will get it for you.” Robin uttered, as he made her lay on his bed and he covered her up. He did everything with so much care that Angie was blushing continuously. “No… you don't have to do that.” She said, holding his hand. “You just got out of the police cell, you should rest.” “No, you should be the one resting. Look at me, I'm fine.” Robin put her words down and then stood up to his feet. “Wait here. I'll get you something to eat.” He quickly turned around to leave and before Angie could say something he was gone. She was left sighing on the bed and as she stared blankly at the ceiling, her heart felt full and at the same time, it was in turmoil. She didn't know if Robin was being so caring because of the recent happenings. It was likely so but then why did he have to kiss her before everyone earlier? Does he lik

  • Released

    Robin was remanded in the interrogation room which had dim lighting and two police officers sat before him. “So, where were you with Mac before he died?” They asked. “We were on a work trip,” Robin replied. His reply was vague but then that was the truth. However, it only made the officers more suspicious. “You can't just say you were on a work trip. Where exactly?” They asked. “I–” Knock!Knock!!Robin was cut off with a knock on the door and in the next second, the door opened and a police officer in uniform walked in. “Sir, Angie Hamilton appeared and is demanding to speak to the detective in charge of the case.” The police officer announced. “Angie? Angie is here?” Robin shot up to his feet with a surprised look on his face. How did she get there when she was supposed to be hospitalized? That was the thought in his head and he was about to move to go to her without thinking of anything else.“Mr. Claire, you will have to stay here.” One officer, held him by his shoulder an

  • Take Me To Robin

    Mac’s parents left the mansion in tears as Robin refused to hand over the company to them. However, they looked like they were really going to carry out their threats.“How are you going to solve this? You can't give them the company.” Leon said, walking up and down while Robin sat on the couch. He was silent as he tapped his fingers on the handrest. Claire’s Logistics was the dearest company to him. It was what he founded first and even at that, he could give it out freely for the sake of Mac. But then the moment he starts to give them whatever they wanted, they would come back and ask for more, stating the fact that he killed their son. Mac died because of him but then it didn't mean Robic killed him. He was ready to atone for his sins but with how greedy the parents were, they weren't worth the stress. “Leon…” Robin spoke up as he stood up to his feet. “Let them do their worst. I am not giving them a single penny anymore.” He declared and Leon nodded gleefully. “But if they c

  • Wicked Determination

    Two days had passed since Robin buried his mother, Mac and Bruce. Several articles had been going all over the internet speculating how Alexander was killed and who killed him. The netizens were also trying to connect his death with the deaths that happened in the underworld. Surprisingly, the police had decided to intervene in the issue. The hideouts of Kaden and his brothers were raided but they couldn't find anything leading back to Robin, he had cleared up everything. And as the bearer of the dark band, no one was willing to snitch on Robin.Also, he had made sure to move Angie to a private hospital, and as of now, though he didn't want anything to do with the underworld, the members still wanted him back and they were already proposing that he reunite every organization in there.A few seconds later, there was a knock on Robin's bedroom and he opened his eyes slowly but he could see nothing. The bedroom was dark and the windows were closed while the curtains were drawn. No amoun

  • Goodbye, Mother

    "It's done..." Robin said on the phone with a sigh through his lips. Alexander was locked up in the cell and he was back in Bruce's mansion. "Really? You have Alexander?" Leon said from the other side of the phone. His heart was filled with glee at the thought that their efforts were not in vain. "Yes, Leon. I have a few plans I would need you to carry out." Robin said and Leon answered accordingly. He was ready to do whatever Robin said and a few seconds later, Robin dished out a few instructions and Leon understood. However, before the call got disconnected, Robin revealed what had transpired, "Leon, Bruce and Mac are dead. While Angie is in a critical condition. She might not make it." He dropped the bombshell shell and directly disconnected the call. He didn't want Leon to blame him or try to comfort him. In the next second, Robin threw his phone to the other side and slipped to the floor in his bedroom. This was the time when he was alone and now, he could let it all out. Tea
