The Young Master

Richard smirked at his question. How dare he ask him such stupid question? Well, maybe he was already ashamed.

"Why can't you make a bigger offer if you are ashamed?" Richard asked, taking Phillip's hand off his shirt.

"Fuck! I know you stole the money! The money isn't yours? How would you get such a huge amount of money when your life savings wasn't up to a thousand dollars? If you give him the room, I'm sure that the cops siren will wake you up tomorrow morning, to arrest this nuisance of theft!" Phillip kept screaming, sweating despite the ventilation in the room.

"Well, if that's what you think, then I think you should let the cops arrive and take me away. Won't you like to see them handcuffing my hands? Jeez! I think you should wake up and realize that nobody is spending illegal money like you" Richard gave back the insult in a double dose.

"What!" Phillip exclaimed and wanted to punch Richard but he was quick enough to dodge it and the punch landed on the receptionist table, making him groan in pain.

"You! I'll make sure to deal with you! I promise, I'll deal with you for embarrassing me!" Phillip made a promise, panting heavily like he just finished a three hundred meter race.

"Shall we go ahead with the payment? I'm tired and need to rest for tonight" Richard said, bringing out a black card, which was designed to have some golden color at the edge.

"A black card?" The receptionist yelled.

They all knew that the card was less than ten in the country. It was given to Richard at the bank after he was welcomed as part of their VIP customer.

"Is there something wrong with that?" He questioned her.

Upon hearing the black card, Philip, who was about to leave, took a pause and turned back to see the card.

"W-wh-where did you get this?" He walked to Richard and immediately snapped the card from him.

"Richard Dixon?" He called the name that was printed on the card out loudly.

"Yes, that's me," Richard proudly Answered him.

"Richard Dixon, Richard Dixon?" He kept muttering, due to the shock.

"What happened to Richard Dixon?" Chloe stepped in. 

She actually came at the right time.

"Dixon? Using black card? Do you mean Dixon group of company?" The hotel manager further questioned, astonished with the looks of Richard, who carried a black card and with the card, seemed like an heir to the multi billionaire Company.

"Who is Richard Dixon? What happened to him? Wait, don't tell me that you are thinking this poor guy is an heir to the Dixon company? Hell no! It's not possible!" Chloe started trembling, repeating the same statement over and over again.

"My card, please" Richard collected the card back from the receptionist, who returned it humbly along with the key to the room.

"Kindly follow me sir" the receptionist lead the way to the room while Richard tailed behind her.

"Are you sure Richard is the Dixon's heir?" Chloe asked Phillip for the fifth time, still confused about what she just heard.

"I don't know, okay? Maybe you should go and ask him" Phillip snapped at her, feeling furious.

At that moment, he regretted calling Chloe to meet him at the hotel. He only did that to entice her by spending a night outside her home.

"But who will come? When did he become part of the Dixon? How did the last name not be Dixon? Or did he hide his identity from me?" She kept asking no one in particular.

"Why are you asking that? Isn't that enough of your chit chatting? Don't tell me that you are planning to go back to him!" He yelled at her again, venting out all his anger on her.

"Going back to him? Isn't that a better thing?" Chloe thought.

……

Waking up the following day, feeling more energetic than before.

He smiled, staring at his reflection from the mirror.

It amazed him how money could change someone within a blink of an eye.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door which he opened.

Surprisingly, it was one of the guys that he saw with his grandma the previous day.

"I'm Daniel, your granny sent me here on her behalf" he introduced himself with a little bow.

"Welcome, Daniel. How may I help you?" Richard asked, feeling stunned that his granny sent someone to him.

"She was concerned about you not coming home last night and thought you don't like staying with her. In respect to that, she ordered me to take you to the mansion, which was bought under your name, before then, I need to change your wardrobe by taking you to the boutique " Daniel explained to his master, with maximum respect.

"Yes! I've been planning to change my wardrobe and will also go see grandma for better conversation after that, " he responded to Daniel.

He picked up his wallet from the table and left the hotel room, with Daniel following behind him.

Three cars were already parked outside with guards standing beside them, just to honor the heir of Dixon's company.

He grinned as he walked to the middle car. Daniel rushed to open the car door for him to enter, which he did.

"Darling, Darling '' Chloe, who had been waiting for him to come outside, rushed to his side. She had been hanging around the hotel since the previous night after Phillip annoyingly left the hotel.

"How may I help you, my darling ex wife?" He asked Chloe.

Chloe noticed the changes in his voice. Despite that his dressing hasn't changed, the wealthy Aura was there and his voice was full of authority.

"Can I have a conversation with you? I mean, we both need to talk" she requested, sounding desperate.

Richard smirked at her request. He was no longer the childish lover that would do anything to please Chloe. He knew Chloe was greedy and wanted to come back to him since his status has changed, not caring where the money came from.

"What do you have to say?" He asked in a cool but commanding tone.

"Ehmmm, you mean I should say it here?" She stuttered as she asked him, noticing people were passing by, staring at them. She was a bit embarrassed and couldn't tell him her plan.

Richard glared at his wristwatch, then  replied to her with " I don't have much time to waste. Go through the necessary procedure if you want to see me. I am no longer the Richard that you divorce because of his poor earning but a billionaire"

The cars drove off, leaving Chloe's mouth to open in agape, still feeling like a dream to her.

….

"Welcome young master, we have been expecting you. This way" the young guy at the entrance of the boutique gestured to Richard to follow him after greeting him.

Daniel and other guys wanted to follow him but he instructed them to wait behind, promising them not to take long.

As he entered, checking the clothes while the guy that welcomed him went to get him some wristwatches, when a woman, walking with a cup of coffee on her right hand, and receiving a call with her left hand collided with him mistakenly, making the coffee splash on both of them.

Before Richard could talk, a thunderstorm slap landed on his cheek.

"Are you blind? Why would you be walking like a living ghost inside a big boutique like this. Who allowed a riffraff to enter in the beginning? What the heck are you Doing here? Are you dumb to see this isn't a small local boutique for people like you?" She screamed, getting the attention of other rich folks that were there shopping.

Richard was shocked beyond statement. He wasn't expecting such a rude treatment from a stranger. He has been humiliated before but not to the extent of getting slapped over the splash of coffee that didn't belong to him.

"Hey! What have you done? Were you not the only one holding a cup of coffee and making a call at the same time? If your sense is working perfectly, you should realize that all this is your fault and you apologize for it!" Richard Bitterly Lamented, trying to control his anger.

"What did you just say? Oh, I admitted carrying a glass cup of coffee but why don't you open your eyes clearly to avoid the collision? You noticed that I was engrossed with the call and still refused to make way for me? Don't you see that I can buy your entire generation?" She screamed again, stating her points to explain better how she was right.

"What's happening here?" The former guy entered when he heard the noises.

Upon seeing the coffee stain on Richard's shirt and his reddish cheek, he immediately went on his knees to apologize.

"Young master, forgive me please. I was busy finding the best wristwatch for you at the other section…" he was yet to complete the statement when Daniel and the other guys entered.

"Young master" they all called at once, leaving the audience dumbfounded including the woman.
