Chapter 12For a moment, everywhere fell silent before Scott finally broke the silence."You heard me, Rhoda. Isn't that obvious?" he whispered, keeping his head lowered toward the table."A–alright... Thank you very much, S Scott," she stammered, struggling to say his name naturally.Scott immediately looked up in surprise."Did you just call me Mister?"He had been close to her for quite some time now and had repeatedly told her to simply call him Scott. Yet somehow, "Mr. Scott" still slipped out of her mouth every single time."I'm so sorry, Scott. It wasn't intentional," she apologized with an embarrassed smile before hesitating for a second. "But... Can you really pay half of the money for me?"Without the slightest hesitation, Scott answered calmly,"I'll see what I can do for you, Rhoda. We'll sort it out after we leave here today."For the first time since they had been talking, a bright smile appeared on Rhoda's face. The heavy burden weighing on her heart seemed to ease a li

Chapter 11“My company suffered a significant financial loss within a six-month period, and I have been unable to determine how the funds disappeared.”“With the account statement, money left the company's accounts but there were no records, no traceable transactions, nothing done was enough to recover the money.”“On that note, as the general manager, I was instructed to recover at least half of that amount within one month, or I would lose my job with immediate effect.”Scott looked at her closely, folding his arms across his chest.“How much money was lost exactly?” he asked.“It was approximately five hundred thousand dollars,” Rhoda replied quietly. “That was the estimate given by the financial department based on the little information they managed to recover.”“And I have to generate sales worth half of that amount just to keep my position. After that, I have roughly another month to recover the remaining loss,” she added.Scott let out a faint chuckle as he studied her face.

Then he heard his name outside the phone call “Scott!. What is the issue”He turned back seeing Rhoda's expression, He waved his hand expressing everything was fine with a faint smile on his face. He then ended the call “Umm.. Rhoda it's nothing serious but I have to leave now, I'll get back to you soon”.He opened the door leaving the room hurriedly. On his way he signal Spike to start the car immediately as he hopped in.“Drive Spike!”Spike nodded in agreement as he drove out of the premise seeing his expression, he obviously noticed something was wrong he then gather some courage to ask“Is everything alright boss?”“Just drive Spike no time for questions right now” h

The guards were staring at them when a lady walked to the curved golden gate, with a beautiful lustre.“What's the problem Mr. Scott? I believed you're the person that called a few minutes.”“Yes ma'am. This men restricted us from coming in.”“I'm deeply sorry Mr. Scott, I'll handle this matter later. But please come in.”They both moved in when the security men were looking at them.

The lady said, walking ahead of him.“I want a Red Lamborghini Veneno Roadster. The exact car on the Banner advert”“Thanks Mr. Scott but unfortunately we don't sell our advert cars, except you'll buy with a high price. Because of that reason, no one could afford it.”At first, Scott was di

They all sat around a table cooling off when Scott stood.“I'll be back mom and Richard”, he said, leaving them in the cafe as he took his leave.He boarded a cab heading to the restaurant he first entered after gaining an unknown super powerful system.Moving along the decorated roads with digital billboards all over the walls, videos were displayed on the wall screen.

“What happens if I tell any person?”“You'll be assassinated by the unknown,” Richard said as he stood in front of Scott and his mother.“W-who are the unknown?” Mrs. Kate and Scott asked, looking curious. “That's the reason I called you here Scott”“Alright. Go on! Richard”.“I was poisoned by a man I worked for. He was my boss but he later turned out to be my worst enemy. “Why?” Scott asked.“Because he wanted me dead!”“Why was your boss after your life?” Mrs. Kate chipped in after a long moment of silence.“There was a missing item he was looking for. It was a drive with a lot of leaked video including crimes, murder drugs and others.”“He accused me I stoled the drive, but I deneid he then ordered I should be poisoned. That's was how you met me Scott.” Richard said as he took a sip of his whine.“Richard!Why did you stole his drive”?Scott said, his face could tell he had begun to loose trust in Richard.“It's not what you think man”“My father was drowning in debt and he met
