The Rise of Alexander Reynolds

Chapter 4

 "Young Master, would you like to go to the company with me?" Albert asked as he looked at Alex who was eating in the dining room.

"Nope, I'm not interested in going, I want to head to the mall." Alex shook his head and replied.

"Alright Young Master," Albert nodded and didn't say anything more.

He could care less about what Alex was going to do at the mall, besides he was in no position to ask. Even if he asked, there was nothing he was going to do with the information.

"Alright old man, let's go." Alex sighed and stood up from the dining after some minutes.

"I'll drop you at the mall," Albert said as he stood up and walked out of the villa alongside Alex.

He had come to Orange City to take a look at the companies which were located here. He had been staying at Orange City for the past month and thus decided to buy a villa Instead of living at the hotel which was where he brought Alex to the night before.

That morning, he was considering signing a contract with some of the top companies in Orange City and thus was heading to the company. But since Alex wanted to go to the mall, he was going to drop him off there first.

Besides, he was going to leave Orange City alongside the Young Master to North East which was where the main company of the family was located. The ones in Orange City were small and it would be belittling the Young Master if he asked him to manage. It.

Though the family had their wings spread out throughout the whole of Emberland, their strength was more concentrated in North East. Besides, the competition there was very fierce and he was sure that the Young Master was now mature enough to be able to control the company.

Thinking about all these, Albert shook his head, once he was done with signing the contract, they were going to head back straight away.

"Sir, we are at the mall." The driver's voice came, bringing Albert out of his thoughts.

"Young Master, take this." Albert smiled and gave a black card to Alex.

"Come meet me at Nebular Enterprise when you're done, we'll be heading back to North East once I'm done with the contract."

"Alright, old man." Alex nodded as he came out of the car.

He also didn't want to stay in Orange City. He would have already gone back the night before if it was not for the fact that the old man told him he wanted to sign a contract first before they headed back.

Besides, he was also shocked the night before as he didn't expect the old man to arrive that fast. He had been expecting the old man to send one of his subordinates to Orange City to pick him up.

He didn't expect that the latter was in Orange City. Well then it was none of his business, he was going to resume work once he got to North East.

Pushing all thoughts to the back of his mind, Alex looked at the mall in his front and sighed. Looking at the card Albert had given him, he shook his head and put the black card into his pocket.

Walking into the mall, Alex sighed as he looked around. He wanted to get some clothes, but all the ones he saw were just too expensive. The last three years had changed his mindset greatly and now he preferred to dress in simple clothes, so he was rather confused as to what type of clothes he was going to buy.

In the future, he was just going to let Albert order some clothes for him. It was too troublesome to come to the mall and look for clothes he was going to wear.

After looking around for a while, Alex shook his head and decided to go to meet Albert at Nebular Enterprise. After all, he didn't seem to be able to make a choice.

"Bitch, how dare you try to blame me, you broke the necklace and yet you want to accuse me."

"Ma'am, you can't do this, you know I'm innocent."

"Bitch, you think that'll save you, when your manager comes later, it'll be better to tell him how you broke the necklace."

Voices drifted into Alex's ears just as he was about to walk out of the clothing section. Immediately next to the clothing section was the Jewelry section.

Inside was a teenage girl crying as she looked at a woman while trying to defend herself. On the floor was a piece of a broken necklace. Because the woman's back was facing Alex he didn't see who it was nor did he want to see.

What was happening was none of his business anyway, so he just turned around and intended to leave when a cold snort came.

"Oh, it's you, I didn't know you're a bit of a stalker, how dare you follow me here. What the hell do you want."

Alex froze hearing the voice and he turned around sharply coming in face with the woman whose back had been facing him just now.

Seeing the woman, the frown on his face deepened, this was the woman who had made him break a glass of wine yesterday.

"Why are you all silent now, huh?" The woman snorted coldly, bringing Alex back to his senses.

Alex shook his head and ignored the woman. He could care less about her. At the moment, he couldn't help but shake his head as he thought about what happened yesterday. From the looks of things, she would be the one who was at fault but was just pushing it on the poor sales girls. Immediately, he became interested in the matter as a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"How dare you ignore me, you useless waiter?" The woman raged seeing that Alex ignored her.

"You stalked me here, didn't you? You'd better tell me what you want or else I'll call the security guards on you." The woman continued angrily.

"And why would I stalk someone like you." Alex raised his brows as he looked at the woman.

"I have tons of important things to do." Alex continued as he walked towards the sales girl who was still crying.

"How dare you?" The woman flew into a rage at Alex's reply.

"You know, we have quite a bit of feud regarding the wine bottle from yesterday," Alex smirked as he looked at the woman.

"Do you mean to say I was at fault?" The woman frowned.

"Well, I'd say you're at fault, you withdrew your hands just as I was about to give you the bottle which in turn slipped from my hands and fell to the floor," Alex muttered as she spoke slowly.

"Idiot, if you had opened your eyes well, that wouldn't have happened, so how was it my fault." The woman sneered.

"Well then, I wonder if it's the same thing that happened here," Alex muttered with a smile as he bent to look at the necklace that had fallen to the floor.

"Hey, would you mind telling me what happened here?" Alex smiled as he called the attention of the poor sales girl who was crying.

"Huh?" The sales girl froze upon hearing Alex's words. At first, she felt relieved, but seeing the way Alex was dressed, she felt even more depressed as she was sure he wouldn't be able to help her.

But still, she didn't look down on Alex and immediately narrated all that had happened to him.

Alex's mouth curled up into a smile, it turned out that he was right. It was exactly what the woman had done to him the day before she did to the poor sales girls. Because the sales girl's clothes looked old and shabby and her hands looked quite dirty, she immediately withdrew her hands just as she was about to hand over the necklace.

"Now that you've known what happened, what are you going to do?" The woman sneered as she looked at Alex.

"Of course, I'll tell the manager the truth when he comes over later." Alex shrugged as he said plainly.

"Do you think the manager would listen to someone like you?" The woman sneered.

"Besides, do you know the worth of that necklace?"

"No, I don't." Alex shook his head.

"Fool." The woman sneered.

"Since you don't know the worth of that necklace, I'd advise you to back off before you do something that'll cost you your life."

"Would you mind telling me how much that necklace is worth?" Alex ignored the woman and turned to the sales girl who was still crying.

"Sir, the necklace is worth one million dollars." The girl sobbed as she said.

Alex's face changed upon hearing what the sales girl said. Though to him, it wasn't expensive, to the sales girl, she would never be able to earn that amount of money which was why she was in tears.

"Sir, you should leave, you'll only implicate yourself if you try to defend me." The sales girl looked at Alex with sympathy.

She could see that he was genuinely trying to help her. But then he was going to implicate himself if he tried anything which made her very scared.

"Don't worry, I'll wait till the manager comes." Alex shook his head as he said righteously.

"Fool." The woman in front of them sneered.

"What the hell is happening here?" A thundering voice resounded throughout the place as a short man with a potbelly walled into the scene.
