492. New Cellphone
Last Updated:
2022-01-21 19:37:21Nicko stood on the Hospital terrace looking for a quiet place away from the noise of his wife’s siblings. Not because the situation just now made him feel confused, but because he wanted to do the work that had been delayed. He looked back at his cell phone, which was cracked by Steve.
“Hmm, I’m sorry, Mr Gilbert, because I couldn’t keep your last gift. But regarding Josephine, you don’t have to worry, because I will always take care of her,” Nicko muttered, then put the thing back.
He plans to buy a new phone at the Premier mobile shop close to the Hospital. He needed the cell phone to contact the people closest to him and his business partners. He checked his tablet for a moment and found an apology email from Mr. Lynch.
Dear Mr Nico,
Forgive me for my treatment of you a moment ago. I should have listened

He’s just wasting my time,” she thought.“Welcome to our shop sir, how can we help you?” She asked kindly to the well-dressed visitor. Meanwhile, a petite shop assistant came up to Nicko and cleared his throat to get his attention.“Welcome sir, can I help you?” Someone asked kindly.This tiny shopkeeper has a friendly expression that wasn’t made up. She bowed slightly when she spoke to Nicko, unlike the first one. Even though his way of speaking is stiff, it looks like he’s still new to the Premier shop.“I want to find a phone with 12 RAM and high capacity. Can you give me a recommendation?” Nico replied.The sho

The smile on Wendy’s face vanished. There was no joy on the woman’s face anymore. She had several times tried to swipe the credit card of the dapper-clad customer. Even tried another EDC machine, but the result was the same, the credit card was rejected.With hasty steps and pouting lips, Wendy stepped towards the well-dressed customer. But as soon as she arrived near the customer, her face turned bright again. There was hope that the man had another card, or that he might want to pay with cash.“Sorry sir, I’ve tried your card several times, but it seems your card can’t be used, it always reads this card was rejected, do you have another card, or maybe you want to pay with cash?” Wendy asked kindly.The expensively dressed youth squinted at Wendy. He didn’t seem to like what she just said.“Huh!” the

“You really are crazy Wendy!” Jasmine complained, then nodded and cupped her hands in front of her chest towards Nicko.The shop assistant, who had just worked at Premier, must have felt bad for Nicko because of the attitude of her co-workers. She had tried to prevent her partner from overdoing it, but it was too late.While Wendy stood proudly with both hands on the counter, then lifted her head with pride.“That’s because you defended a thief. Just watch. The police will also arrest you,” she said, not wanting to lose.Indeed, when Nicko refused to be served by Wendy, the black-haired woman pressed the panic button beside the cashier counter. They connected the button to the nearest police station, and it is an agreement that if the button is pressed once, there is a theft or a minor crime in the shop.

Officer Norton glanced at Nicko again, then the handsome young man opened his palms in front of his chest, and allowed Officer Norton to continue the investigation. It seemed like this man in uniform knew what the shop employee was going to talk about, just like it used to be. However, in the name of professionalism, he did what he should have done.“Sorry Miss, then what has happened here? Could there be a misdemeanor? Or maybe this person I know did the damage unintentionally and is reluctant to take responsibility. Or there has been harassment in this place either verbally or in action?” Norton officer asked again.“Neither sir. Actually, he stole nothing in this shop, but this acquaintance of yours is indeed a thief, and he keeps the stolen goods.”Officer Norton getting more confused with what the black-haired girl said. Even his partner looked im

“What is this? Why did the manager treat him with respect? Why the two police officers did nothing, just check the ID and credit cards with a same name,” Wendy thought.According to this young woman, the police had made a mistake by saying that the poor young man was the rightful owner of the credit card. Someone may have the same name as somebody else, so it’s impossible for the credit card to belong to the bum, unless the credit card has a photo of the owner’s self.“What a stupid cop. How can I believe that he is the owner of the credit card?” She muttered sneeringly.“Do you want to say something Wendy?” Manager Green rebuking the senior employee.Wendy returned the best smile from her chili red lips. This girl secretly has feelings for her manager. A mature man is the ideal choice for this employee. She

Especially when the man of her dreams was talking to Jasmine.“So you don’t need Wendy here anymore, sir?” Manager Green Asked respectfully.“Well, of course, I don’t need an employee like her. You know how she treated me just now? Did you forget she accused me of stealing?” Nicko asked, squinting at Wendy intermittently.The brown-haired youth explained what had happened to the Manager. Starting from Wendy’s unfriendly attitude, and curt when asked to when she was left because there was a man who looked well.

Wendy packed all her things angrily. Then she walked with her head down, not daring to look at her colleague. This time, the ruthless employee has no guts. She still heard clearly how the other employees were mocking on her.Everything she had done in the past, paid off today by a new shop owner. When she came out of the shop, which was dominated by glass in the front, she glanced at how the situation of the shop that used to live for her was. It’s too late to regret, no more mercy for her.What is on this woman’s mind is how she should go on with her life in the future. She owed a lot at the store, and his severance was now only thirty percent, because she had to pay it all off.“Damn, I really hate that new shop owner. You really ruined my life,” she cursed.The black-haired girl continued to walk towards her car. She doesn&rsquo

"So this is your doing?" asked Nicko angrily. This time her face was red and her eyes were staring intently ahead."Ha ha ha why? Does this sound painful to you? It's good that this sounds painful to you. At least this way you will know who you are dealing with, and you can think again about betraying my daughter!”Watson, you! Nicko rage. This time he was really angry that he couldn't say anything else. His hands began to clench tightly and cursed at the man who called him. No one ever thought that Robert Watson, Camilla's father, was involved in kidnapping his wife and child now.“You bastard Watson, what do you want! I warned you that I would never betray your daughter. It was just a silly game in childhood!” Nick replied.“Silly childhood game you say? It's a shame that until now my daughter still expects you and I still think of you as my son-in-law. I rejected several men including Matthew Young who is now completely independent for you but instead you maintain your stupid marri

The man Josephine knew folded his arms across his chest and walked over to Josephine. "You wanna know why I'm here? Of course because I want to meet you sweetheart.”Of course, that man was Gerlad Jones, the most selfish man Josephine had ever known.“Aren't you tired of bothering me all the time? Don't you already know that you and I are no longer related?" Josephine replied curtly.Gerald immediately crouched down and leveled his position with Josephine. This time he gently touched Josephine's cheek and disgusted her former lover.Josephine seemed to push away Gerald's hand which kept trying to touch her. The more Josephine dodged the more he liked to tease her.“Your skin is still smooth and soft, only now you are a little different. You seem a bit stocky. Is it possible that you're already pregnant with that jerk's child?” asked Gerald as he whispered in Josephine's ear and started licking it.Josephine shuddered in horror, she almost admitted that she was now pregnant.

This time they were only accompanied by Jacklyn and Owen's bodyguards Ian and Jo.It seemed that it had been quite a while since Josephine had spent the three of them together like she was now. Lately, Nicko has been busy with all his own activities and also the world of medicine that he just got. Now they also thought of taking a break, after all last night Jo had said that she wanted to share.With the help of Owen and Jacklyn, they spread out a table and put some food boxes there which will be given to anyone who needs them for free. This time it wasn't just Jo who looked so happy, but also Ian, because he hadn't spent time with his adoptive father in a long time.As soon as Nicko finished clearing the table and putting down some food, a middle-aged woman in shabby clothes came up to them. Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he seemed to be a homeless person."Sir, is this given for free?" the woman ask

At this time Andrew Young really pressed. He really didn't expect that he would suffer such a fate.The person he once underestimated suddenly turned things around in just a few minutes. In the past, he underestimated the Watson family because they had an economy class below him.Especially with Nicko, he had never taken the young man into account at all. Precisely thinks Nicko is like a pest that must be eradicated immediately. But now he is the pest. Even Chuck who became his ally also blamed him.“Chuck, you don't think about me anymore? Don't you remember our previous good relationship?" asked Master Young in a voice that sounded quivering with sorrow.Chuck shook his head and said again, “Didn't you hear what my uncle said earlier? We Watsons absolutely do not welcome a liar. Now you better get out of here!”"Chuck you,—" Andrew no longer continued his words. Instantly his lips were numb and could not say anything else.It was then that Mr. Watson immediately called his housekeep

Andrew Young's body suddenly felt stiff and weak. Now he has no money anymore and it hurts a lot. Now that he heard the news that his youngest son had committed suicide, his life was completely ruined at this point.With unsteady steps, he walked towards the stage again. At that time he had seen the ravaged state. Everything was full of trash and no one was there.He walked unsteadily, but suddenly a waiter came to chase him, "Sorry Mr. Young, this is the bill for tonight's event!"It was then that Andrew Young immediately patted his forehead and muttered that he had almost forgotten the bill he had to pay off. When renting this place, he only paid half of the total banking services ordered by him.Currently, he can still breathe a sigh of relief because, in his account balance, there is still money remaining for the cost of paying off this event. But after that, he didn't know what to do. Not even sure I could buy a plane ticket back to Northern Hill.The only way back to Northern Hi

Andrew Young was struck by the statement of his former bodyguard. What's more, they actually restrained him and made him no longer able to move and bait the people who were now hunting him.In fact, now that he's really stuck, no one can help him. Wanted to scream and ask Matthew for help but now the young man is not with him anymore. Then, Mr Watson, he should be a man he can rely on. While Chuck is actually an ally of his. But their positions were too far away and it was impossible for her to scream.Even if he had shouted for their help, before Chuck had come here he would have been battered and bruised.Now all he could do was bully his former bodyguard again into protecting him. The bodyguards he had dismissed were a bunch of chubby bums. By giving them even a glimmer of hope, they would definitely move to protect him, no matter how difficult the obstacles he had to face.“Hey you guys, quickly save me! Do your duty as a bodyguard. Don't act stupid and piss me off so you guys tot

He kept calling her and asking her to come back.But unfortunately, when he just got off the stage he was intercepted by several people who had bought the medicine.One of them is Mr. Austin. He stood holding out his hand and blocking her from leaving. "Where are you going? Immediately take responsibility for what you have done to us! Give us our money back!”Some who had bought the drug also helped Mr Austin. They all seemed to surround him.“Quickly give us our money back!” cried the people shouting angrily.Andrew Young actually shook his head and tried to refuse, "No...no, you already know that if the items that have been purchased cannot be returned."But the people didn't want to understand and said to him loudly, “No you can't, this money has to be returned because you have committed fraud.

Andrew Young smiled and shook his head, “Of course not sir. That price is a very commensurate price for what you get.”“Humph, you must want to rob us by paying such a large fee! I don't want to buy!” exclaimed one of the visitors.Andrew Young smiled sarcastically and said, “I have no intention of robbing you. I set a fair price as you can see at Mr. Watson's birthday party, and also the changes in me. You all have even touched me and felt the difference. So I think 2.5 billion is really worth it.”The visitors who surrounded him also spoke like a buzzing beetle. After that, he spoke again by giving an explanation of everything. “Don't all of you know that in our youth we spend a lot of time working hard, thinking about many things even makes us forget to eat and lack sleep. Often we have to eat fast food to save time. Don't you all realize the consequences of our old habits? Gradually everything becomes a disease that accumulates and paralyzes the cells in our body.
