THE UNSTOPPABLE BOSS

Chapter 3: Millionaire in a split!

Impossible!!!

Marcus's eye widened in shock, an unbelievable look glistened in his eye which settled stagnantly on the screen.

His jaw fell leaving his mouth open like someone who swallowed the whole watermelon.

“$2 million dollars!!!”

He blurted in surprise, startling Lily who turned to him with an inquisitive gaze.

“$2 million dollars!!” She took a step closer, stretching her neck to the phone but Marcus sharply kept the phone and forced a smile to look less suspicious.

“Huh! Did I just say $2 million dollars?!” He chuckled and continued with the fabrication. “I mean..I have 2 million followers on TikTok.” He swallowed hard, his gaze meeting Lilly's whose eye grew wider.

“Wow!!! You must be a celebrity on TikTok!” Her brow arched, seemingly confused as she stared at Marcus intently as if trying to remember if he had seen him before.

“But I have never seen you on TikTok once! I know virtually all the celebrities on TikTok.”

Hearing that, Marcus swallowed hard. Obviously, Lilly is about to complicate things for him more.

Before he could speak another lie, Lilly said with a brightened expression on her face.

“I have always wished to meet a TikTok star. I'm glad I finally met one!! I'll search your username on my phone!!” She happily reached her pocket for her phone.

Marcus's heart skipped!

He didn't even have a good phone and neither did he have a TikTok app not to talk of having such terrific followers.

The fabrication is digging more trouble for him rather than saving him from Lilly's suspicion.

She looked at Marcus with an unwavering smile. “What’s your username on TikTok? He asked with traces of joy in her voice.

Marcus's heart sank! His heart accelerated like a throttled bike. What would he tell her? Should he just tell her a username which he doesn't know if it exists. Oh no! What a dilemma!

He suddenly heard Lilly grumble because she couldn't find the phone. “I can't find my phone. I think the men took it.” She said sadly.

Marcus breathed out in relief and began to Walk out of the wooden building.

“We need to leave here.” He could feel the cool evening breeze on his face as he walked on the sandy soil which leaves tracks of his feet behind.

Lily also followed him behind, grumbling about her missing phone.

Marcus shook his head as her grumbling became unbearable so he turned to her sharply.

“You’ll get another phone. You're always vibrating like one.” He said with a hint of confidence in his voice as his thoughts drifted to the money in his account. He is yet to believe it and the only way to confirm the authenticity is by spending it.

“Really!! You'll get me a phone!!?” She almost jumped on him as her river of happiness flooded heart. “I can't wait to have my TikTok account back!!”

Marcus groaned when he heard her intention. “I hope she will have forgotten about it when I get her the phone.” He said under his breath.

Still walking on the seashore, the breeze had their clothes glued to their body as they surged forward. Lilly didn't stop talking, following Marcus closely from behind, her charisma expressing how happy she is.

“I know the Best gadgets stores in cloxx city! It's smart tech and gadgets!!!”

Marcus turned to her with a mixture of surprise and confusion expressed on his face.

”Cloxx City??” He repeated strangely.

Lizzy stood before him with her forehead knotted in confusion. “You don't know we're in cloxx city or what?” She spread her hands.

Marcus didn't understand what was going on. First, he found a strange phone in his pocket and now lilly just told him he's in cloxx city which is several kilometers away from Beacon city. Furthermore, he looked at himself to see a military attire with blood stains on it on his body. He became more confused.

He swallowed hard. “Of course I know we're in cloxx city.” He began to Walk again leaving Lizzy behind.

“Weird!” she mumbled before following him.

Marcus was yet to realize he's dead and only his soul evoked and settled in the body of a powerful man who was betrayed by his men and brutally murdered at war front. It was a soul reincarnation.

They alighted from a taxi which took them to the main city. Lizzy paid with the driver with the last cash with her and happily propelled forward to the building of Smart techs and gadgets which stood in it's beauty and mighty some distance from the main road.

The building is captivating just as the latest gadgets in it are. Still outside, Lizzy could see some of the devices from the transparent glass wall of the building.

Marcus chuckled and shook his head as he followed Lizzy from behind.

“Hey Stop!! No beggars are allowed here!!” A huge guard halted her harshly, killing off her happiness instantly.

Lizzy looked up at the huge guards. She was like a David standing before a huge Goliath. Her face contorted with frown.

“Beggars!!? We're customers and we're here to purchase some items!” She explained as Marcus also joined her, standing beside her.

The huge guard scanned them from head to toe with a condescending look in his eye over their poor and filthy appearance.

He grumbled slightly before he hesitantly opened the door for them to enter.

Lizzy jumped inside happily, smiling from ear to ear as her happiness overflowed, propelling her forward. She had always wished to set her feet there even though she won't buy anything but she was just a poor girl who works as a maid for her wicked boss who treated her harshly.

She was so engrossed with the beauty of the place which had captivated all her attention that she Didn't notice a woman hurrying out of the building until she unintentionally hit her shoulder against the woman's. The bag which the woman held slipped from her hand and crashed heavily on the floor.

People who were around turned to the sound of the heavy fall. Something huge and expensive must have broken inside of the bag.

“Oh my goodness!!” The woman exclaimed, the rage in her voice undeniable. She raised her hand to slap Lizzy but Marcus was Swift to hold her hand in the air.

“Let go of me!!” She flung her hand away forcefully and glared at Lizzy. Her frown deepened. “Oh! It's you little devil!!”

Lizzy's heart raced fearfully with her eye casted downward, her head cocked slightly to one side like a criminal who had just been apprehended. Oh no! She wished the ground would open and swallow her to save her from the impending embarrassment because the woman before her is her worst nightmare!! Her boss!
