The TV crew consisted of a small team of three people who followed the stars around the prestigious part of Slough, Cipen. The stars were instructed to act natural as they strolled past buildings and chatted with each other. Elanor was determined to showcase the best of Cipen without exposing any negative aspects of the other stars.Gary noticed that Spring had suddenly changed her tune as soon as the cameras were rolling. Gary suspected that Spring and Tyson were aware that any negative comments could cost them their fans, so they decided to play it safe. Prior to filming, she had mentioned how her city had better stores and buildings, but now she was practically gushing over everything in Cipen. As expected of stars that wished to be in front of the camera for their whole life."Alright everyone," the producer said, addressing the stars and the TV crew. "As you know, this program is going to showcase the best of Slough, and since we're in Gary's hometown, I was hoping he could take
After the first woman had come over to thank Gary personally, it started a chain reaction, causing more and more of the residents to come over. All of them praised the teenager for what he had done for them. They hadn’t seen him in a while and felt like they might never get the chance to see im again.“I won’t have to be cold this winter because of you!”“My toilet finally works, it flushes properly and I don’t have to punch my crap down the toilet anymore!” Another resident shouted, with some onlookers staring toward him for sharing something a bit to personal.“Without having to worry about any rent increases in the future, I can finally put that money I had saved up to splurge a little on myself. Thank you for letting me live my life a little more stress-free.”Gary Dem, the ‘Business Tycoon of Slough’, had bought up the entire building. ‘He’ hadn’t stopped there either, as the entire area was now under his name. Learning about the fact that someone had been buying up the buildings
Elanor was truly touched by this action of Gary’s. She could see that some of the others were contemplating to follow suit. The manager wouldn’t mind, but with how much time had passed, even the stars should be aware that many of their fans might see through that it would simply be a stunt, a way to become even more popular with the people. The thing was, Gary was doing this, and he didn't even want credit for it, letting the old man deal with it all, and leaving before they would even get the gift that he had prepared for them.She would certainly come back at some point and get the others' reactions after Gary had left.Heading up the elevator that was now working and had the buttons intact, they reached the top floor. Quite a difference from the days when Gary would have to climb the whole flight of stairs every day.No amount of cleaning could get rid of the dirt that had literally become part of the walls, floor and door. One could tell that the others were a bit frightened to to
The van didn’t travel too far away from where Gary used to live, as there was a little street that he wanted to visit himself to see how it was doing. He also felt like the next place they would visit would show more information about Slough, then just showing the well developed areas. It was a row of shops that were still in the same area that had opened not too long ago, and the place where Gary wanted to visit was a bakery.“So why have you decided to bring us here, is there any special meaning to this place?” Eleanor asked. “Ah, I just wanted you to have a taste of the local food in the area, and besides if people ever visit Slough I want to let them know that this is where they want to go if they want the very best.” Gary smiled. He was sure that there would be some visitors that would come to Slough due to the programme and in turn, why not help out the local businesses. He remembered the last time he had come here he had met with a sweet young woman named Naomi, and he wante
With no protest from Gary, the group had ended up on Burnham food street. A row of mainly restaurants and bars that went on for around a mile side to side. It was compact and filled with people as it was one of the more popular places for people to hang out in the evening. It was currently just about dinner time, so it was filled with people even now, and even the others could understand why. It was one of the nicer areas of Slough, this was, of course, because it was one of the areas that used to be run by Olivia, so it was already making more wealth compared to other areas. There had only been slight improvements, getting rid of the more seedy places and replacing them, as well as investing in new equipment for the more run down restaurants.“Wow, this place is busier than I thought it would be?” Rachel said. “Yeah… I agree.” Gary replied. What he didn’t realise was, due to the new factory and other developments, there were a lot more people in Slough than there usually would ha
The group was sat down at a large oval table that was placed to the side. There was a little velvet red rope that one would have to unhook to enter the area. It was clear that it was a seating area that was meant for VIP's or those that had specially booked for it. It was also in the perfect place.The positioning was great so one could see the live band, and it wasn't too close that you wouldn't be able to have a conversation with each other without the need to shout.After carefully seating everyone down, the waiter was off, and said that they would be back soon to take their order. As quickly as one person went off, more went to the table to give complimentary bread and water, and it didn't seem like something the restaurant did, as their table was the only one that had these things on them. It was safe to say that the group had attracted a lot of attention. A lot of those that were seated had a star quality about them, they were head turners, and to top it off they had the came
Clem and Gary were sitting pretty close to each other, Clem was staring deep into his eyes after hearing the words that had come out from his mouth, trying to read him, trying to read what was behind those eyes of his. “I guess you just don’t want to tell me.” Clem sighed. “I understand, everyone has their own secrets, especially us stars, so we can’t let the media and the public know every little detail about us. I guess you will just never have to find out about my secret then.” With a little show of her tongue, Clem continued to watch Rachel as she performed and the song came to an end, She clapped greatly while cheering on her fellow colleague. Meanwhile, Gary just couldn't help but smile at her response.‘I thought this would be the case, but I guess she didn’t even believe me for a second.’ Keeping a secret was hard, and there were times where Gary just wanted others to know the truth, but he knew the reasons why the secret had to be kept, and the plan that had been set out
The group had travelled back safely to the hotel with no problems, and for the first time, they actually felt safer when they saw that there were some members of those in Black and Gold standing outside. Never did they think that they would be attacked by the general public, rather than those that referred to themselves as gang members, and it was starting to become clear that these gang members in particular were integrated into nearly every part of Slough. The small shops, the food street, and even here in Cipen in front of the luxury hotel, none of the staff were afraid of them. At times it almost seemed like if there were a problem with the general public, then they could rely on the local gang members. In some ways, they were almost like a police force, but one that was far more reliable. It was reminding them a lot of the higher tier cities. For the night, Gary and Tyson were sharing a room since they were the only two boys. They were lying down in their beds, not really spe
