Chapter 14 - Hotel owner

"I will be going back very soon and i will see you again when the time is right. Remember you have to get stronger. You can spend the night here, in fact you can live here as long as you want since this hotel belongs to you now" Isaac suddenly announced.

John widen his eyes in shock and asked "what do you mean?"

Seeing John's reaction, Isaac just laughed and at the same time felt sorrow in his heart thinking about how his son has suffered all through these years "I mean this hotel now belongs to you because I just bought it for you". As soon as Isaac said that, a knock came from the door.

"Come in" Isaac said

John saw a middle-aged man around in his fifties coming in with a document in his hand.

The man bowed down in front of Isaac and greeted him respectfully and said "Nice to meet you Mr Imperial. All the transactions regarding the hotel purchase has been completed and these are the documents"

The middle-aged man was very respectful and at the same time feared the person sitting in front of him because of the surname Imperial.

Isaac pointed towards John and said to the man "you can hand over the documents to him because the hotel now belongs to him now"

The Middle-aged man was shocked when he heard that. In fact when he came in, he saw John but really didn't pay attention to him because of how he dressed. The man handed the documents to John respectfully.

John took the documents with a shaking hands and looked at everything as if he was in a dream. Everything was going on so smoothly that he himself was doubting whether he was being pranked. He still couldn't believe it. From being penniless to a hotel owner and having a 100 million dollars.

"John" Isaac called John when he saw him in trance and could guess what John was thinking.

"Hmm, did you say something?" John questioned his father when he came out of his trance.

Isaac nods his head and pointed towards the middle-aged man and said "this is Oscar, the the general Manager of this hotel" "And that's John Lewis, the new owner" Isaac pointed towards John and said to Oscar.

John stood up and shook hands with Oscar and said to him politely while saying "Nice to meet you Mr Oscar"

"The pleasure is mine Mr Lewis but I dare not accept you call me Sir" Oscar said while putting on a wide smile quite satisfied with John's attitude who do not put on a haughty, rude and arrogant personality like most young second generation rich kids that he has met.

"That can't do, after all I have to follow seniority" John said.

Oscar just nodded his head. And after a while a he asked "is there something you would like to change about the hotel Mr Lewis?"

"That would be for another time and I will leave everything for you to handle for now" John smile and said.

Oscar was quite pleased when he knew that he would still be retaining his position as the General Manager and so he said while smiling widely "Then I will take my leave now"

"You can go ahead now" Isaac said.

Oscar bowed down to Isaac and left the room.

When Oscar left, Isaac stayed for a bit and discuss somethings with John.

After about 5 minutes, Isaac stood up too and said "I will be leaving. I will send someone to you tomorrow with some things"

"Who?" John asked

"You will know soon" Isaac said that mysteriously while walking towards the door and soon disappeared.

When Isaac left, John sat back down and looked at the bank cards and the documents he was holding in his hands. Everything felt surreal to him. Even till now, John still feels as if he was in a dream and things were happening at a fast pace. He couldn't bring himself to comprehend to the fact that he is from the Imperial Family, the most rich and feared family in the world.

As John was thinking this, a knock came from his suite, "Come in" John said.

A person came in bringing different kind of expensive delicacies and expensive wine "Mr Oscar asked us to bring this to you" the person said.

John was quite satisfied with Oscar initiative and pointed towards the dining table and said to the room service "you can put them there"

After putting the dishes on the table, the person left.

John sat there and ate to his satisfaction because this was the most expensive dishes that he has ever eaten in his life. "What a good wine" John said after tasting the wine.

When John was done eating, he decided to go the bank to verify the amount of money in the bank card because he still feels restless.

John took a taxi and left the hotel for the bank. In the end, John withdrew 200,000(thousands) in cash from the bank. When John held the cash in his hands only then was he completely convinced that, this was not a dream.

At the same time, John felt conflicted "Huh Mabel, if only you didn't break up with me, you might now be able to own anything you please"

"Besides, Jacob since your father is rich, you spent your time bullying me and even framed me up but this ends today. Let's see what happens from now on" John said this while clenching his fists.

It was almost evening When John left the bank and decided to go back to the hotel to sleep.

John took a taxi to go back to his hotel. When he got to the hotel, he was stopped by two security guards.
