CHAPTER 17: He Outbid Them
The crowd murmured. "Who is that? He is willing to pay seven million for a necklace?" Ryan froze when he saw it was Allen. Katherine covered her mouth with her palms. "Sit down boy. We know you don't have such huge amount of money so don't ruin the evening for the rest of us," Ryan grinned. "I still stand on my word. Seven million dollars!" Murmurs and whispers filled the room. Allen loved the attention he was getting. "Don't worry sweetheart," Katherine said, patting Ryan's back. "Allow him to embarrass himself." Allen scoffed. They didn't know what was coming. "Since you want to play this game. I'll play it with you," Ryan said laughing. "Eight million dollars!" Ryan added, laughing even louder. Karina joined him. "Nine million dollars!" Allen announced. The couple stood pale. Everyone else was shocked. Ryan especially was confused that Allen didn't budge. "Ten million dollars!" Ryan called out, thinking he'd won. "We have a price. The Mirage Royale will b
CHAPTER 16: The Mirage Royale
The two turned, to see Karina boiling with anger. "Karina, long time no see," Jose said, smiling clumsily. "Don't you dare say that. I don't want people here to know I know you two. It's embarrassing," She exclaimed, warning Jose sternly. "You walked up to us first but we don't want any trouble so move along," Allen pushed, sipping his drink. "You're drinking a cocktail? I'm sure you stole the money. You're a thief," she accused. "Maybe you've forgotten what happened the last time. This time, say goodbye to your job permanently," Allen stood, arranging his clothes. "Who do you think you are?" She laughed. "Just because you wore borrowed clothes, and bought drinks with stolen money you feel like a god right?" Karina scoffed. "The guard who let you in must be blind. I can smell your poverty under those expensive clothes," she added. Allen's blood boiled. Karina was begging to be taught a lesson way worse than the last one. "And what are you even doing here? Where is yo
CHAPTER 15: Olivia's Desire
"I finally got to meet you, Allen," the lady said reaching for a handshake and Allen obliged. "You grandmother has told me so much about you," she added with a giggle. "You're a fine young man, Allen. So respectful and I know our collaboration would only bring good results," the old man's coarse voice rang in the hall. "I've heard how much of a fast learner you are. You've achieved so much in such a short time. " "Thank you, Mr Hayfield," Allen said bowing, with his lips curved into a smile. "I also come bearing gifts, both sent by my grandmother," he added bringing the packages out of their box. Mr Hayfield's eyes widened the moment he saw the bottle. "My favorite wine? I knew I didn't make a mistake agreeing to this collaboration," his face lit up with excitement. "And for miss Olivia, a jade bracelet," Allen said, handing the second box to Olivia. She beamed as she collected the box. "I—I can't believe it. This isn't any jade, it's the imperial seal jade!" Allen didn't e
CHAPTER 14: Meeting Olivia
Allen stared up at the man in front of him. He wasn't wrong. He had heard too much about him in a few hours. "You're Drey Friedrich," Allen blurted out adjusting his clothes with his head held high. "The man whose name is on every lip." Drey's eyebrows furrowed, his breath rasp in the silence. Allen's was rough, eyes widened with an awkward tension between them. "I believe you know what I am here for," Drey said, walking closer. Allen's mind rang, thinking of a thousand things. "You're my business rival and I don't take it easy on my rivals. To me, the game is not fair but forcefully won. Which means, I will do everything to win this so watch your back!" Drey warned. "Are you threatening me?" Allen growled. "Will you really stoop so low?" "I am Drey Friedrich, everyone knows what I am capable of," Drey said with a smirk. Allen's mind traced back to what those men said when they were having dinner. He was starting to think Drey was as dangerous as they said he was. "So wh
CHAPTER 13: Drey Friedrich
"Meeting, 9am at the Hayfield residence" was what was on the paper. "Phew," a relieved sigh escaped his lips. It was nothing much, just a letter stating the address and the contents of the meeting. After Philip left, Jose continued. "I heard about Miss Olivia of Hayfield industries. She's the latest catch now. Hot, beautiful and every man's dream," Jose said with a chuckle. "I can't believe you're meeting her in person." Just then, Louisa walked in with a package in her hand. "I noticed you didn't leave the office again so I brought food for you," she said, with a smile. "Oh Louisa you shouldn't have. Jose and I were just about to grab lunch," Allen said smiling, his eyes locked deeply on Louisa. Jose noticed something between the two and cleared his throat. "Eh-em? Am I interrupting something here?" "Sir, sir! we have a problem" Philip said, running back in with a magazine in hand. Allen, Louisa and Jose all paid attention to him. "Drey Friedrich is back and he is a
CHAPTER 12: The Ex-boyfriend
He couldn't see the man’s face properly but he perceived danger. However, Louisa seemed to know this man. The man approached Louisa and for a moment, it seemed like they were in a heated argument. Allen watched closely but the next thing shocked him. The man slapped Louisa, making her lose balance. Allen couldn't believe it, he stormed out of his car heading for where they were standing. “You must be shameless to hit a woman!” Allen exclaimed, grabbing the man’s collar. “How dare you!” Louisa sobbed seriously at the other side. The man who was identified as Dan perceived Allen to be a rich man and immediately knew he was in so much trouble but stood his ground. “It's none of your business what I do to her,” Dan blurted out, holding Allen's collar. “Who is this, Louisa? The new man you're sleeping with?!” Allen was infuriated and gave him a resounding punch and he fell to the ground. Dan groaned in pain. Knowing that he had lost, he got up fiercely. “I’ll get back at you no m
