Feeling the pressure of Kathy's constant belief that he had no money, Josh wanted to show her she was wrong. But the challenge lay in finding a way to demonstrate his solvency without succumbing to the pressure of her skepticism.Amelia, who was standing beside Josh, couldn't believe what she was hearing from Kathy. At this point, it became very clear to her that Kathy was not as good a person as everyone thought. If anything, what was happening only showed that she was bitter. For some reason, she seemed intent on making Josh's life difficult. It was evident that Kathy harbored a lot of hatred towards him. But why? Weren't they once a couple? So, why did she hate him so much? Amelia pondered to herself.Hearing that Josh's account had been frozen for fraudulent activities, the receptionist believed Kathy instantly. It was easy for her to believe Kathy someone she knew over Josh someone she didn't know. Darting her gaze towards Josh, she gave him a disgusted look as she handed him the
Amidst the chaos of the confrontation, the pepper spray discharged into the air, its sharp and unpleasant scent filling the room. Amelia quickly stepped back, closing her eyes as she looked away to avoid the pepper spray from reaching her eyes. Josh instinctively moved to shield her, knocking the bottle out of the security guard's hand. And luckily Amelia had looked away in time, and Josh had managed to keep the pepper spray from getting into Amelia's eyes with his hands.As he watched as the pepper spray canister clatter to the floor, Josh then narrowed his eyes into a glare directed at the security guard. His frustration quickly shifted into anger at the unjust mistreatment they were enduring. They had intended to leave peacefully, but the guard's ego-driven hostility had escalated the situation unnecessarily.Amelia was left seething with anger and disbelief at the security's actions. How dare a mere security guard, someone she deemed unworthy of even breathing the same air as her,
Josh was stunned when he heard Mr. Sanchez, the store owner, order his security to search him for anything he might have stolen. It was disappointing to see how easily Mr. Sanchez had believed Kathy's words without conducting any further investigation. Even when Josh tried to object, pointing out that they didn't have the right to search him, Mr. Sanchez made it clear that he didn't care about such concerns. With a dismissive wave of his hand, he ordered his security to search Josh forcefully if necessary, leaving Josh feeling powerless and violated.Kathy, the one who suggested it, watched with a satisfied expression as the security guards searched Josh for any stolen item. Although she knew that Josh was not that type of person, that didn't stop her from making up that lie and accusing him of being a thief. And all because she wanted to embarrass him, and show him his place.The security guards thoroughly searched Josh, their hands going through every pocket and crevice, but they fo
Upon witnessing Mr. Sanchez's drastic change in attitude towards Josh, everyone, including the receptionist and Vanessa, was shocked. Wasn't this the same man who had been rude and cold toward Josh earlier? He had even ordered his security guards to search Josh forcefully, despite having no proof of any wrongdoing. But now all of a sudden Mr Sanchez had become nervous. He was sweating profusely and was speaking to Josh as if he was some important person, when in reality he wasn't. It made no sense to anyone.As she looked over at her boss, the receptionist couldn't help enquiring “Boss, is everything alright.” However her question went unanswered, and instead Mr Sanchez just gave her a stern look that made her wonder what she had done to upset him. And the thought of upsetting her boss, and being in trouble and possibly losing her Job because of it, sent a shiver down her spine.Kathy was among those who couldn't believe what she was witnessing. What on earth was going on? Why was Mr
In Mr Sanchez's eyes Josh was not someone to be messed with because of his background. And knowing that he had been totally disrespectful towards Josh earlier because of his ignorance Mr Sanchez was scared. He regretted even listening to Kathy in the first place. If only he had taken the time to learn about Josh before acting disrespectfully. Now, he couldn't help but wonder how deeply he had offended Josh and whether retaliation was imminent. Mr. Sanchez understood the urgency of rectifying his mistake swiftly to prevent Josh from making him regret his actions."Josh," Mr. Sanchez began, his voice a bit shaky despite his efforts to sound as composed as possible. "I must admit, I'm... surprised by what I've just discovered." He paused for a moment , as he collected his thoughts before continuing. "That card of yours, it's quite... exceptional."Josh smiled faintly and gave Mr Sanchez a nod. He acknowledged Mr Sanchez's words without saying anything in response or revealing much emotio
“You're banned from ever coming back here?” Mr Sanchez informed Kathy, his tone cold and with a hint of finality in it. And it was surprising for him to speak to Kathy like that. Knowing about Kathy's background Mr Sanchez always showed her the most respect because he wasn't stupid enough to upset her, but this time for some reason he was speaking to her coldly? He even told her that she was banned from the boutique!Kathy looked over at Mr Sanchez with a surprised expression, his words hitting her like a torn of bricks. She couldn't believe that Mr Sanchez just told her that. Why was she suddenly banned from the boutique, and how could he do that? “Excuse me?” Kathy asked, not sure if she heard him right. She must not have heard him right, because there was simply no way in hell he would speak to her that way, or even consider banning her from the boutique considering how much of a valuable customer she was. Why would he even do do that at all?However, Mr. Sanchez remained unmoved
Moreover, why would Mr. Sanchez fire his own worker and kick out possibly one of his most valuable customers because of Josh? There was definitely something about Josh that he wasn't revealing to everyone. Vanessa was determined to uncover the truth.As they walked back to campus, it was awfully quiet between them the whole time. And when they reached the campus, Josh broke the silence, expressing his gratitude to Amelia for her assistance. He promised to repay her kindness before hurrying off to his class. Despite the time lost dealing with Kathy's antics, Josh managed to arrive just in time for the next lecture, a stroke of luck that eased the frustration of the day's events. As the lectures came to an end, Josh rose from his seat, nonchalantly making his way out the lecturing hall, as he got outside he entered his luxurious sports car, making sure no one saw him, and drove off the campus.A while later, he pulled up to the mansion and stepped out of the car, his strides purposeful
Josh was surprised when he received a call from Lilith. It was not a secret to him that she didn't like him, and so for her to call him was definitely unexpected, and he had questions in his heard about the reason for her call. As he asked her why she was calling him, Lilith replied in a tone that was devoid of any emotion. "We need to talk," she stated.Josh nodded, and he could already sense that she wanted to talk to him about the fact that they were supposed to be married soon. And thinking about that, a frown made its way to Josh's face, indicating just how much he hated the idea of getting married. He wished he didn't have to, but he had so little choice in the matter. With a sigh, Josh replied, "Alright, when and where?" he asked casually.Lilith's voice echoed through the other end of the line as she wasted no time in providing the details, her voice concise and businesslike. "Let's meet at Café Serenity," she suggested,"Around 7 p.m… I believe you know where Café Serenity is
