“Whoa! Are you okay?” Josh asked, concern evident in his voice as he steadied Andrea. If he wasn't there, she would have hit the tiles hard. Thankfully he was there to catch her just in time before she could fall Andrea, regaining her balance with Josh’s help, stood up straight and glanced down at her newly bought dress, now stained with orange juice. She frowned slightly, then she turned to Josh, feeling a flush of embarrassment. “Yeah, thanks for catching me,” she said, her voice laced with regret.Turning her gaze from Josh, she darted her eyes towards where the person she had bumped into was. She noticed that the person she had bumped into, was a man, who looked like he was in his thirties sitting on the floor, glaring up at her with a mix of frustration and anger. “Oh no, I’m so sorry!” Andrea exclaimed, her eyes widening at the sight of the man's shirt stained with the orange juice, however unlike her dress that was also stained, his shirt looked worse, because it was a white

The man seemed more interested in gawking at her than discussing the shirt. Andrea’s unease grew, her face flushing with a mix of anger and embarrassment, knowing what was going on through the man's mind. She felt like she was being objectified.Feeling disgusted by the man's gaze on her she instinctively took a step back, trying to distance herself from the man’s piercing stare. Josh, noticing the man’s predatory behavior, immediately stepped in front of Andrea, making sure there was a distance between the man and her, his expression turning cold. He was now even more annoyed by the man, it was clear that he had some dirty thoughts going through his head, which made Josh sick to his stomach. “We’re not going to play games here. Either you accept a reasonable offer or we call security. This isn’t how you handle things.” he warned in an icy tone. The man’s smirk faded slightly, but he was not giving up. He met Josh's gaze saying, “I’m afraid that’s not how I do business,” he said col

The security guard quickly approached the group once he was called over by the man. His eyes scanned the scene, taking in everyone's tense faces as he tried to figure out what was going on. And he could tell by the man's angry facial expression that someone had upset him, and it was probably the two people standing next to him. “What’s going on here?” he asked, his tone neutral but authoritative.The man, still fuming, looked at the security guard, pointing to his stained shirt and began to explain in an angry voice, “This woman here bumped into me, and now my limited edition shirt is ruined. She should pay for it.”He turned to Josh and Andrea, adding, “They can't just brush this off like it’s no big deal. They need to compensate me for the damage.”Although Josh and Andrea had been trying to pay him for the shirt all this time, asking him how much it was so they could pay, he had refused earlier. Because he was convinced that he could take advantage of the situation and make the pre

“Twenty thousand dollars for a shirt? That’s insane! He should be ashamed of himself for lying like that!” one woman exclaimed, shaking her head in disbelief. Clearly the man was lying trying to take advantage of those young people.However, a few sided with Mr. Bruno. “Well, limited editions can be really pricey,” someone commented. “It’s possible.“They should have been more careful,” another added, crossing their arms across “They caused the mess, so they should pay.”Josh maintained his composure. He was tired of the situation and just wanted to resolve it quickly and leave the store once and for all. As he took out his wallet, Mr. Bruno observed him and couldn’t help laughing when he saw Josh taking out a checkbook. Was this young man really trying to write a check for 20 thousand dollars?Maybe he didn’t understand the price and he had heard 20 Dollars instead of 20 thousand dollars. There was no way he had that much money. In fact, Mr. Bruno doubted this young man even had 10 t

Hearing Josh claim that he was Giovanni De La Cruz's grandson, everyone was stunned. The store fell into silence as they thought about what Josh had said. It wasn't everyday that someone claimed to be Giovanni De La Cruz's grandson, so it was definitely shocking. Patrons exchanged looks and whispers, their eyes wide with shock."Did he just say De La Cruz?" one woman whispered to her friend, disbelief evident in her voice."There's no way," another patron murmured. "Giovanni De La Cruz? The Mafia boss? Is that kid's grandfather?""That's impossible. He doesn't look like someone who comes from a wealthy background," someone else added, shaking their head in doubt.It was understandable that they would doubt Josh's words, seeing as he looked like someone who didn't come from a wealthy background, judging by his casual outfits. He seemed to come from a normal, humble background than one filled with wealthy.Giovanni De La Cruz, on the other hand, was a very famous name in the city, the

The store manager turned to Mr. Bruno, and he could see the fear in his eyes. He couldn't help but feel a little bit of sympathy for him knowing that it bad for him. If Josh wants it, Mr Bruno could get wiped off the face of the earth, and no one would ever know what happened to him, that was the power of the De La Cruz family.Just moments ago, Mr. Bruno had been so arrogant and mocking, but now he was visibly trembling. "What are you waiting for?" the store manager demanded. "Apologize." Urged him.Although he wouldn't have listened to the store manager under normal circumstances, Mr Bruno listened to him this time, knowing that it was for his own good. He had to apologize to Josh, because it was the only way he can survive.Mr. Bruno, visibly shaken, approached Josh with a noticeably more humble attitude, a big difference to his earlier arrogant and smug attitude “I… apologies, Mr. De La Cruz. I didn’t know!” he stammered, his earlier attitude replaced by a desperate plea for forg

“Why do you want to keep your background a secret?” she asked, her voice laced with curiosity. The idea that he might be ashamed crossed her mind, but she quickly dismissed it. The way he had handled the situation at the store suggested he was far from insecure. Josh glanced at her, his expression serious as he answered her question. “It’s... complicated,” he said simply. He understood the power of his family’s name. Giovanni De La Cruz was indeed a powerful figure with many admirers, largely because of the charitable work and positive public image he maintained throughout the years. However, the reality was much darker. The De La Cruz family, as leaders of the city’s most feared mafia, were deeply involved in criminal activities that had caused significant harm and suffering. And Josh having grown up poor, understood, and knew what type of harm mafias and gangs caused. Josh knew that revealing his true identity could lead to mixed reactions: admiration from those who only saw t

Josh thought of ignoring the notification, however since he had nothing better to do for the next hour or so until the boring movie was over, he decided to tune in to the stream. Plus he was also curious to see what she streamed, so he tapped on the stream and started watching. Isabella was enthusiastically playing her game, but seemed to be struggling with a challenging level. He watched for a few minutes, amused by her commentary and the interactions with her viewers. As he continued watching, Josh couldn’t help but notice how captivating Isabella looked on camera. Her expressive face, combined with the way she animatedly reacted to the game video game she was playing, highlighted her natural beauty. Her enthusiasm and the glow on her face made her appear even more stunning. She wore a casual yet stylish outfit. Feeling a bit generous and wanting to distract himself from the movie, Josh decided to donate to her stream. He clicked the donation button and entered a substantial amoun
