"What do you mean, sir?" Henry questioned.

"I can't tell you my reasons for doing so right now, but I wish to elevate you by giving you a decent job in my company, Henry." Luther informed me with a smile.

Henry's eyes lit up in shock and disbelief.

"Really, sir? But why? You don't even know me." Henry questioned with joy surging through his body.

"Trust me, I know enough." Luther responded. "So, what do you say? Do you agree?" 

"Of course? Why won't I agree? I have lived in poverty and suffering my whole life, this is a great opportunity for me." Henry remarked.

"That's good." Luther spoke, placing his hand on Henry's shoulder. "The nurse said you are okay to leave. I will send a little amount of money to your account right now. Use the money to get things for yourself and also get a decent suit cause you will be resuming work soon." Luther added as he rose up from where he sat and began to exit the room.

Seconds after Luther left, Henry's phone chimed on the table causing him to pick it up to see what message he had received.

Catching a glimpse of the message, Henry's eyes and mouth widened instantly in shock.

"1 million dollars? He sent me 1 million dollars?" Henry mumbled in disbelief and he rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. "Just who is this Luther guy?"

Henry had no idea why Luther was being so kind to him, but he decided to worry about that later and just enjoy at least. He has gone through enough and couldn't afford to lose it all with questions.

"Just when I had plans to take my own life. Thank you, Luther." Henry muttered under his breath with a big smile evident on his face.

Later that day...

Henry was discharged by the nurse and one of Luther's drivers took him home in a luxurious black Rolls Royce.

Henry walked into the place, expecting it to be messy due to the party and comotion last night, but instead it was sparkling clean.

"Odd." Henry commented with a slight look of confusion before getting upstairs to have a quick shower before heading out to the mall to get a few things for himself.

In less than 30 minutes, Henry walked out of the house now dressed in his usual worn out clothes.

Henry took a public transport that drove him to the biggest mall in the city. The mall was a gigantic building filled with lots of people doing their own thing.

Walking into the mall, the people who spotted Henry began to glare at him in disgust and disdain. But unlike before, Henry wasn't affected by them.

He knew all that would change soon.

Henry took the elevator that took him to the top floor where expensive outfits were sold.

 He stepped out of the elevator and went straight to the section that had expensive designer clothes and shoes.

"There are so many I can't even pick." Henry spoke with greed in his eyes as he walked around examining the designer outfits in displays.

While Henry was busy searching for the one that suited his taste, two individuals began to approach him from behind.

"You, bastard. What do you think you are doing here?" A familiar voice was heard from behind, and Henry recognized the voice instantly.

It was Danny.

Henry turned around slowly and could see Danny and Elena holding hands.

"What do you mean? I am here to buy stuff." Henry responded in indifference.

"You? Buy stuff? In a mall like this? Don't make me laugh." Elena retorted with a slight chuckle.

"What's wrong if i came here to buy something? It has nothing to do with you guys." Henry sounded in a cold tone as he turned around and resumed his search for a nice outfit.

Danny clenched his fist tightly, irritated by Henry's attitude. He was now regretting the fact that his boys didn't kill Henry last night. The direct order he gave them was to kill Henry, but for some reason they just couldn't.

"You think I do not know you are stalking me?" Elena voiced in a high pitched tone, catching the attention of everyone present there.

That was her plan, to direct all attention to herself so everyone can watch how she ridicules Henry.

Henry paused what he was doing and turned around slowly.

"Why would I want to stalk you, Elena?" Henry questioned.

"I do not know..you tell me." Elena rolled her eyes.

"Or maybe you are the one actually stalking me. You finally realized how disgusting this carmel is and now you want me back?" Henry teased, causing Danny's face to light up bright red in anger.

"You little garbage!" Danny clenched his fist and was about to go in for an attack, but Elena stopped him.

"Since you claim you are not here to stalk me, why don't you buy a single outfit here? If you are able to pay I will believe you, Henry." Elena  proposed with a smirk.

Each item in this section of the mall worths above $80,000, so there was no way in hell that a trash like Henry would be able to afford one.

"Haha, are you kidding me? I can't buy one." Henry chuckled.

The whole crowd including Elena and Dannt bursted out in laughter.

"I can't buy one cause I came here to buy ten." Henry added, and their laughter ceased instantly.

"What did you just say?" Elena questioned, trying to get things straight.

"I told you I came here to shop, not to buy a single outfit." Henry responded.

"Haha, you are very funny, Henry. You make a good comedian." Elena laughed scornfully. "A trash like you wants to purchase ten outfits in a grand mall like this?"

"Well, yeah. If you do not believe me, why don't we make a deal? If i am able to pay for the items i pick, you two are to get the fuck out of here immediately, and if i fail, i will be the one leaving." Henry sounded with a smirk.

    The next day Jackson walked into Henry’s office with a cup of coffee. He saw that henry was on the phone and the TV was tuned on. The TV volume boomed a little too high but Henry didn’t seem disturbed. Jackson squinted. He looked around the office and found the remote, as he dropped the cup beside henry’s arm. Henry nodded in gratitude as he continued speaking.Jackson tried to put off the TV but Henry raised a hand. It didn’t take long, Henry got off the phone.“I was watching the news” he said.Jackson smiled. “You see anything interesting?” Henry shrugged, “the same old jargon. All they do is talk but they never act.” He sighed. “Now you can put it off. Just as Jackson moved to do so, he stopped.“Boss is that not Danny?”Henry looked up from his work. The headline was a picture of Danny’s father and the news. It read; GLANCH GROUP OF COMPANIES HAS BEEN DECLARED BANKRUPT.

    Danny raised an eyebrow. What the hell was Henry talking about.“Yeah whatever” Danny scoffed. “ I am out of here” He began to walk out the door when Henry stopped him.“Don’t you want to know what treacherous thing I have done? “ Henry smirked.“ I do not want to know and I don’t care” Danny snorted.” As if you can do anything. You can take your treachery and shove it up your ass”And with that he exited the room. Jackson turned immediately to find Henry smiling.“Boss what did you do?” He asked.Henry turned to him, his smile widening. “ I guess we have to wait for him to come back to know what”Jackson was still confused. That was not an answer though but he decided not to ask more questions.*************Danny walked with his shoulders high to his car. In His head, he had succeeded in Making a fool out of Henry.
