I'm in the middle of my deep sleep when I heard someone knocking at my door. "Sir Liam?" I heard her say as she continue knocking. I already heard her but, I didn't bother to answer back because I'm still sleepy, and I want to continue my sleep. "Sir Liam.. Sir Jarold is waiting for you." She said while continuously knocking. I slightly opened my eyes as soon as I heard those words. "What? This early?" I asked and grabbed my phone to check the time. "Sir.. It's already 6:30 a.m." She replied. As I look at my phone, I saw that it's already 6:30 a.m. I shook my head after that. So, he wants me to come and join him in his travel at this hour instead of me having my beauty sleep for the rest of the day? Nice, bro! You didn't tell me that we will leave this early. I'm still having headaches because we drank a lot of champagne last night. Then, I heard the maid knocked again. So, I rolled out of bed and opened the door. I'm still having a hard time opening my eyes because of a sudden wake up call. As soon as I opened the door, the maid stared at me in shock and covered her eyes. I raised an eye brow after that. "What's the matter with you?" I asked while looking at her. She continued covering her eyes and replied, "Nothing, Sir." Then, I realized that, I'm just wearing my boxers and with no tops while standing in front of her. I smirked after that. She's in shock because she accidentally saw me in boxers. But, I didn't bother. I'm not that too sensitive for those things, if they saw me wearing nothing, I don't care. I'm a man, so there's nothing to worry about. "Tell him, I'm coming. Wait for a few minutes." I said while looking at her. She nodded while still covering her eyes and immediately ran away as soon as she heard me say those words. I laughed a bit after that and just shake my head. I closed the door and started to prepare my things and myself for the branch visitation.
I went out of the bathroom and sprayed Creed, my perfume. I removed the towel that covers half of my body, and entered my personal closet. Since, we're going to visit the other branches of Wilmart, I have to wear presentable clothes. As they say, sometimes respect is gained when you wear proper clothes. So, I opened one of my cabinets to see what I'm going to wear. I looked at each one, and chose the gray suit for me to wear and a black polo shirt for insides. For the bottoms, I chose the same color as gray. Then, I proceeded to the shoes corner. As I open the drawers, I saw a white pair of rubber shoes that suits the outfit. I'm in the middle of wearing my clothes when I heard my phone rang. So, I brought out of my closet the clothes that I'm about to wear. I'm half way done. Then, I reached my phone that I left on my bed. As I checked on it, I saw that my brother is calling me. I rolled my eyes after seeing it. So, I answered it and turned the loud speaker on. I put my phone on my bed again while wearing my clothes on. "Where are you? We're going to be late!" He said. I laughed a bit after hearing those words from him. "Don't blame me for that. You didn't tell me that we're going there at this early hour!" I said while wearing my suit. "Okay.. Okay.. Just come here and let's go!" He said. I can feel that he's getting impatient of waiting for me. "Yeah.. Just wait." I replied. Then, he hang up after that. I laughed after realizing that I get him pissed again. As I finished my outfit, I wore sun glasses because we're going out. I don't want my eyes to get hurt because of the brightness of the sun outside. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. "Oh, Liam.. Such a handsome guy!" Then, I decided to went out of my room already.
As I start walking downstairs, the maids who are busy cleaning the house stared at me. They really looked astonished as they looked at me. So, I smirked while pretending that, I did not see them like that. That's right, girls.. Adore me!
I walked all the way to the main door of the mansion. I am about to go out when I heard someone spoke. "You really look like a legitimate child on your suit, young man." She said. Then, I heard footsteps coming on my way. So, I took a deep breath. "Here we go again.." I whispered to myself. Then, she finally appeared in front of me. "Good morning, Diana." I greeted her with a smile. She just looked at me from head to toe. "Look at you.. Such a handsome product of a shameful affair." She said while looking at me. Sometimes, I don't know if she's complimenting me or just throwing trashy words at me. But, I don't have time for her toxic attitude to be honest. I'm just being patient of her because of my dad. And, even though she keeps on telling me that I'm an illegitimate one, I still know how to respect people with the poorest attitude than mine. Since, she's poor in her attitude, I just pity her because of that. No wonder that dad have an affair with another woman because of her toxicity. So, I just gave her a smile. "Is there anything you wanted to add?" I replied. She raised an eye brow while looking at me and crossed her arms. "Take good care of the heir of Wilmart. Don't even try to stole the opportunity from him. Don't even sabotage the car, you hear me?" She said while pointing her finger towards me. I smirked as I heard those words from her. "I may not be a legitimate one, but that thinking is for those who has the possibility of doing that someday." I said while looking at her. She looked at me with disbelief and replied, "What did you just say?" She said. I smirked and opened the door for me to go out. "Jarold is waiting. Bye, Diana." I replied and ignored her question. She's about to say another word when I closed the door. Shut up, you witch!
As soon as I closed the door. I heard Jarold spoke. "Finally! I thought I'll still wait for another decade for you to come out." He said. He's already inside limousine already and waiting for me. I remained silent and smiled. "What are you waiting for? Come in!" He said and moved inside for me to sit beside him. As soon as I entered the limousine, the guard closed it's door. "Let's go." He said as he approached the driver. The driver nodded and started the engine. And, finally.. We're now heading to Carolina.
We're in the middle of our travel when Jarold spoke. "Are you prepared for your blind date later?" He asked while laughing. I rolled my eyes as soon as I heard what he said. "Shut up. That's really not in my vocabulary." I replied while looking at the places where the car is heading. "Dad really wants you to have your special someone already, huh." He said. "Tss.. As if I want it. Why does he try to date those girls that he keeps on involving in my life?" I replied. He laughed after that. Then, I realized something. So, I looked at him. "How about you, Jarold? Do you have any special girl in mind right now?" I asked. "You've been in the right age now to have a girlfriend. You're done studying, and you're the heir of the company. I'm sure there are lots of women waiting for you to be noticed." I added. He remained silent after that. So, I just leaned my back while looking outside. "Actually.. There's one." He suddenly said. As soon as I heard that, I instantly looked at him. "Who is she?" I asked. Finally! He has one in mind! Sometimes, I'm thinking that he will grow old lonely because he's too serious when it comes to business and the company. And, I've not seen that he got involved with women already. At least now, he admitted that he likes women. Then, he looked at me. "I have one and I'm not gonna tell you." He said while laughing. I smirked after that. "Oh, really? Well, even though you will not tell me who that is, I still have sources. I will surely know who that is sooner or later." I said then winked at him. "Oh, yeah? Let's see if you can." He said. Then, we both started to laugh after that.
"We're here, Sir." The driver said and parked the car. As I looked outside, we saw the guards immediately ran towards our car and opened it. Jarold looked at me. "Let's go." He said then turned into a serious one when he went out. So, I went out of the car as well and gave everyone a blank expression. The guards started to assist us all the way to the entrance of Wilmart, Carolina. The guards opened the door for us as we enter. Then, we saw a lot of people on both sides of the way. Some of the guards put some red chains on both sides, so that the people will not cross while we're walking. As we walk all the way to start the checking and visitation, some of the civilians are taking pictures of us and even whispering at each other. It feels like we're some popular people in Hollywood because of what they're doing. I looked at Jarold while we're walking and his face really looks serious. As if he's really letting the people feel that he's the son and heir of Wilmart.
The Head of Wilmart, Carolina approached and greeted us as we proceed. The both of us slightly smiled after what he did. Then, he assisted us all around the mall. Each person that sees us, especially those who knew us are bowing their head as a sign of respect and greet. Some of the women are looking at us as if they saw an angel walking on Earth. "Sir.. We have 5 different brands of shoes selling here at Wilmart, Carolina and 18 stores of different brands of clothing, including Nike, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and Gucci. We both nodded as soon as we heard those. "Okay, good. Do you have the list of the stores in here?" Jarold said. "Yes, sir! Here.." The Head said and handed over the folder wherein all of the stores renting a place here at Wilmart, Carolina are listed. Jarold opened the folder and saw the amounts of their profit towards each one. As we scan all of the stores, we saw one highlighted brand. He raised an eye brow while staring at it, then he looked at the Head. "Why is this one highlighted?" He asked. "Sir, that store is stubborn to pay their bills. Actually, we are about to kick them out of the Mall." The Head said. Jarold closed the folder. "Where will I find that store?" He asked with a serious expression. Then, the Head immediately assisted us all the way where the store is.
Jarold and I didn't hesitate to proceed there and approach the manager of the store. "Where is your manager?" The Head asked. As soon as the saleslady heard it, she immediately ran inside the store's office to call the manager. Not long after, she went out from the office. We're both expecting that the manager will come with her. But.. "Sorry, Sir. He's not here.." She said while looking at us. The Head raised his eye brow and looked at the saleslady. "Don't you realize who's standing next to me right now? They're the heirs and sons of Mr. William Smith, the CEO of WilMart! You have to tell your manager to come out and face us!" He said while shouting. His voice is too loud which gets me irritated. So, I looked at him and approached him. "Will you lower your voice? She's not deaf for you to shout like that." I said while looking at him. "That's enough." Jarold said and looked at the saleslady. "Miss.. I don't want to create any commotions here. So, tell your manager that I'll give him one minute to decide for the future of this store. His timer starts now." He simply said. Woah! That's my bro. The saleslady immediately ran inside the store's office again to call her manager. And, not long after, the manager went out with an irritated expression on his face.
"I told you Sir Wensley that we will pay next week! Why can't you wait for it? Are you that desperate for the money?" He said while shouting at the Head. The Head remained silent while looking at him. Jarold and I smirked after hearing those words. This guy is really stubborn, huh. "So, you're telling me.. That even though we're here in front of you, face to face.. You will not pay your bills?" Jarold said. "No.. And, sorry for that." The manager said while smirking. This dude is really getting on my nerves! He could've just beg for us to extend our grace, but he didn't. And, he has the guts to act like that in front of us? Jarold just looked at him after that. Then, he looked at me. I raised an eye brow because of that. "Why? Want me to decide?" I asked while looking at him. "Yep. I leave you the decision." He replied. So, I smirked and looked at my watch. "Please write down 1:32 p.m., Store closed." I said while smirking at him. The Head immediately wrote what I've said beside the name of the store on his list. The manager was shocked because of that. Then, the head handed me over the list, and I started signing it beside the store's name while looking at the store's manager. "What? You can't do this!" He said while looking at me with disbelief. "Sorry, Sir. You're facing the Smiths. Since, it's decided, it's done." I smiled and turned against him. Jarold did the same, and all of us continued our walk. The guards started to put a notice that the store is already closed. As we we're walking, Jarold couldn't hide his smile. "What's with you?" I asked. "You really decide like father." He said. "Well, you gave me the right to do it, and I gave you the right decision." I replied. Then, we both laughed.
