The Billionaire Gardener

"Move that piece of shit away from there!" The voice roared. Andre Summers! The Bully! Ralph instinctively recognized it as Andre's. He didn't need to turn around to confirm; the disdain in Andre's words was unmistakable.Although Ralph had initially parked at that spot which was his normal parking spot, he opted to avoid a confrontation. Even if he parked there, Andre would still have enough room to park his Rovers Classic, a luxury car from Rovers Motors. A bicycle does not require that much space! But, Andre always looked for his trouble. "Not today," he muttered under his breath. Calmly, he hopped back on his bicycle and rode it down to another location.As Ralph pedaled away, Andre continued honking loudly, attracting the curious glances of nearby Summers workers who peeked out to see what was happening. Immediately they saw it was Andre, they hid themselves and watched from their hidings. No one liked to get into his bad books. He might ask Lady Margarita to lay them off. Soo

The most influential figure in Rovers County, after whom the County was named, had just suddenly passed away, and everyone was curious to know who his successor would be since he had no living family. The Summers family was not left out. Lady Margarita Summers was keenly interested in Mr. Rovers’ successor. Summers Luxury Automobiles, the major family business of the Summers, was almost dependent on Rovers Motors which was one of the many companies owned by the deceased Billionaire.With a sense of urgency, Lady Margarita convened an emergency meeting of the Summers family to discuss and speculate on the identity of the next owner of Rovers Group of companies. The family recognized the need to establish favorable relations with the successor, considering the late Mr. Rovers' approval of their dealership contract, though he had remained elusive since the tragic incident that claimed his family."Even though Mr. Rovers managed his companies from his Villa and didn't meet with us much

Victor Sterling thought the weekend would never be over, but he was glad it finally was.“Today is the day I will be announced as the successor of Mr. Rovers. Make sure everything is in place for the celebration later in the evening,” he said to his secretary as he stepped down from his Rovers Bugatti, a luxurious masterpiece from Rovers Motors. As the Executive Director of Rovers Group of companies, all other directors reported to him, and he reported to the deceased Mr. Rovers.“Yes, Mr. Sterling. Everything is in order. I will put the finishing touches. Let me know if there is anything else you need me to do.” Sabrina Rolls, a gorgeous secretary, seemed to harbor a secret admiration for her boss, Victor. She wished he could be hers.“Nothing for now. I will get myself ready for the Attorney’s arrival. You can go and tidy things up.”They were on the premises of the headquarters of Rovers Group of Companies.“One moment, sir,” and Sabrina pretended to brush off a non-existing speck

It stood as the grandest among all Rovers hotels, exclusively frequented by the crème de la crème.It marked a departure from their usual business meetings at Rovers Group. While Victor had represented Mr. Rovers’s interests in numerous business dealings, Andre, as a representative of Summers Luxury Automobiles, had never interacted with him beyond the professional realm. This casual meeting was the first time they connected on a more personal level. Although Andre sought the meeting for genuine conversation, Victor was more in need of someone to talk to than a personal interest in Andre.Andre and Victor were meeting casually for the first time. It had always been business meetings at Rovers Group. Victor had represented Mr. Rovers’s interests in many business meetings of which Andre was part as a representative of Summers Luxury Automobiles. None knew the other beyond the b

She didn’t know what Ralph had ticked on the menu but was sure they were the cheapest of the items. But Ralph had gone ahead to order the most expensive wine, food, and dessert!The waiters placed the order in front of Ralph and Diana. The first waiter brought a card reader out.“You have to pay now!” He instructed.“Now, I’m sure he will soon be thrown out. How can he even afford all of those?” Andre said confidently while Victor and Stuart nodded in agreement.Ralph dipped his hand in his pocket and brought out his Elite Reserve Card. The two waiters were stunned to see the cheap-looking man holding the prestigious card. Stuart had seen it before. He only wanted to confirm if it was original. Andre and Victor were surprised yet again. How could a common gardener have such a card that they did not have?“I am sure that is fake. Get ready to
