“You are Fine Gild guests, we will arrange the required transportation.” Saying that Jaya turned to Carla and whispered, “make arrangements for their transportation, you ask the driver to turn on the network jammer while taking the lengthiest route to the destination and remind him to drive as slowly as possible.”

Carla did not know what Jaya was up to but as a good secretary, she made transportation arrangements for Elliott and his entourage according to Jaya’s wishes.

Bidding Elliott and his crew goodbye, Jaya ran fast to her car shouting at the driver, “I don’t care how but take me to Guild association mall Warehouse no.234 within 10mins. Your life depends on this!.”

The driver was a professional, he did not waste his breath on words but slammed the gas pedal and left the airfield hastily.

After finishing the second set of 100 G-rank storage trunk cards yesterday I reluctantly had to go home for sleep. I did not like the feeling of going back to an empty home, It felt lonely there.

Since I did not spend any time at my flat and the Warehouse was registered as my office in the online shop, I decided to put a bed and shower in one of the warehouse corners so that I don’t have to go home if I don’t want to.

I talked to Susan about this except for the part of me feeling lonely. She agreed with my proposal and said since we will be accepting clients and be conducting all our other work here might as well make the warehouse a bit presentable with a waiting room, an office, a staff kitchen and a restroom.

Unexpectedly Corey was very supportive of the idea of adding a staff kitchen, being cut off from family and with her current wages, she could not afford to eat out daily. So, she wanted to hand prepare her food, Lord only knows how it will work out for her.

Susan said that she will contact the warehouse’s management and make the changes by tonight, thanks to the occupational cards construction had become as easy as constructing a lego house.

“Susan here, 200 G-rank storage cards see what you can fetch for them.”

“Wyatt, I can only sell a few at a time, it will take me a while to sell them all.”

“No worries, we are no longer short on cash. take your time.”

“I know someone who will buy all the cards and pay the full price upfront.” Corey who was mopping the floor pitched in. Spending two days with us, Corey comfortably spoke with us and no longer cautiously considered every word that was spoken by her.

Seeing Corey actively take part in conversations Susan’s eyes glinted with brilliance as she passed 200 G-rank storage trunk cards to Corey and said, “okay then you are responsible for selling these cards.”

“No, I didn’t mean it that way. I am sorry.” Corey misunderstood Susan’s intention.

If Susan sells these cards then she will get 60% out of 5% of mall service charges of the total cost, but now Susan gave it to Corey just like that. Corey only wanted to help Susan sell the cards not steal her sales.

“No sweetie, It will take me weeks at best to sell all these cards but if you can sell it now, it’s better right, don’t worry about me losing money. If you sell those cards I will still be getting 20% in the 5% mall service charge as you are my staff while you will get 40%. It’s better this way.”

Understanding Susan’s intention Corey nodded and said, “I won’t let you down.” While taking the 200 G-rank storage card from Susan’s hand.

…

I was deciding on what to do next, I saw Jaya and her cronies walk into the warehouse. She noticed my gaze and smiled, seeing that smile I knew Jaya was up to no good.

“Hi, Wyatt!” Jaya greeted me with a bright smile.

‘Fu<k, don’t act like we are buddies you b!tch’ I thought greeting her back, “Hey, Jaya what brings you here?”

“I was nearby and so I came, hope I am not being an inconvenience to you.” Jaya’s mouth said one thing but her eyes conveyed another thing.

“I am busy if nothing else you know where the door is.” This place was not Fine Gold, here I did not have to watch how I spoke to her or worry about getting on her bad side. ‘This is not your turf b!tch.’ So I did not have to worry about ending up in a gutter without anyone noticing.

“Wyatt, don’t be like that I have a big deal for you, Just like last time I will pay you 100 million $ to help my friend create a card.” For some reason, Jaya did not seem to mind my rudeness. Instead, she tried to seduce me with money. ‘What is happening?’

‘Just like last time’ ‘100 million $’ both vibrated in my mind. Finally, my dignity trumped my greed as I said, “Sorry, Jaya it’s not you or your money, it’s me. From today I won’t be providing my services to anyone related or close with Fine Gold.”

Hearing me Jaya sneered, standing next to me she whispered, “Really Wyatt are you sure, how about I add a few strands of my hair to your fee. What now you freak?”

“Why the Fu<k would you think adding a few strands of your hair will change anything?” I shouted dumbfoundedly. ‘Wait did she find out about me returning to the bathhouse to steal her hair strands?’ contemporary romance

Of course, I would not admit to doing this even if Jaya had solid proof.

“Don’t you like me, aren’t I your goddess? Didn’t you promise me to admire me from far away?” Jaya hastily said.

‘I said those things to walk out alive from that hell hole in one place.’ Of course, I would not admit to saying this too even if Jaya claimed otherwise.

I looked at Jaya as if looking at a crazy girl. Both Susan and Corey who were listening from the side looked at Jaya with pity. They thought Jaya was delusional.

I had to do something before Jaya added Susan and Corey to her petty little list, thankfully another group of people entered the warehouse politely unlike Jaya and her cronies who rushed in arrogantly as if they owned this place.

Seeing them I said to Susan, “Susan, why don’t you and Corey attend to the guests, while I will handle this mess.”

Susan nodded and headed towards the new group of people, I did not know who they were but termed them as a guest to send Susan and Corey away anywhere but here.

Sending Susan and Corey, I looked at Jaya but she was anxiously looking at the new group coming in contact with Susan. I could see that the person leading the new group was also glaring at Jaya as if she had stolen his family fortune.

Now I knew why Jaya was so desperate, it had something to do with the new group of people.
