Carl also headed toward his car where the driver was already waiting for him with the backdoor opened.
After greeting his boss as he entered the car, the driver closed the door and hurried toward his side before driving out of the company.
A few minutes later, inside the car, Carl rested his head on the headrest as he sat on the back seat. His eyes were closed and the driver would glance at him now and then from the rearview mirror as the car drove through the city.
Some time passed by as the car ride continued silently and the driver's ears suddenly perked up as his boss had commanded him to stop the car in front of a convenience store.
"Y... Yes Sir." He quickly nodded, then carefully parked the car at the roadside then glanced back anxiously while waiting for further instructions.
Carl slowly opened his eyes as the car came to a stop, then he got out silently and headed toward the convenience store.
And after entering the store, he headed toward the counter under the many gazes of the people who were staring at him in awe.
Of course, only a few people in the city and those that don't watch the news wouldn't recognize this CEO who had taken over the business world by storm for many years.
And recently, much news had been popping up about him almost every week about his current success and the many collaborations he's making by each day.
He is even popular than most celebrities in the city and some infatuated people had even created a fan base, which has a lot of followers both within the country and abroad.
Everyone thought they were dreaming and they all watched in shock as the guy who looks completely out of this place that mostly contained the middle class and lower class citizens, walked elegantly toward the counter.
After reaching the counter and ordering some things, Carl took out his debit card then gave it to the shop attendant who was still staring at him in awe.
The attendant quickly broke out of her trance and carefully took the card from his hand with trembling hands then quickly swiped it and hurriedly wrote the things down before they could escape her brain.
She gave back the card with shaky hands and scrambled away, to look for those things while Carl waited patiently at the front of the counter.
And shortly after, a minute had not passed before the attendant came rushing back with a huge bag in hands then gave it to him with a fawning look.
After taking the bag, Carl walked out of the convenience store, with his usual stoic expression while all the people's gazes followed him again.
Everyone broke out of their shocks after watching the guy walked out and soon after, the convenience store ran into a frenzy as they started chattering words of amazement, and those people who didn't get a chance to snap him in their phones all sighed in disappointment.

After coming out of the convenience store, Carl's grip tightened on the bag and he sighed inside. He was about to walk forward when a figure suddenly dashed forward almost bumping into him and he glanced down at the girl with a small frown.
"I__ I am so sorry Sir," The girl apologized hastily with a flabbergasted look while bowing incessantly.
"Kelly!!? Why are you in a rush?" Another girl hurried in their direction while panting heavily and she instantly froze after stopping in front of them as she watched the man who was standing in front of her friend with a frown.
"L... Let's go." Kelly quickly grabbed her flabbergasted friend's hand and hurried inside the convenience store after muttering another word of apology to her boss.
Carl's gaze followed the girls' backs with the frown still on his face. He sighed inside while his grip tightened on the bag again then he continued walking back into the car whose door was already opened by the driver.
The driver sneaked a glance at the bags then closed the door after his boss had entered and he also went to his side.
The car ride continued silently and several minutes later, it finally came to a stop at a silent residential neighborhood.
Carl walked out of the car whose door was opened again by the driver and he picked up the bag then started walking toward his house while the driver parked the car in the parking lot and also took his car then drove out of the neighborhood.
After reaching the door, Carl was about to type in the password when the sounds of a car suddenly came from his side and he glanced sideways at his brother's house.
Meanwhile, at the other house, Zach quickly parked his car and after getting out and seeing his brother about to enter his house, he hurried toward the small fence.
Jumping through it, he walked toward his brother and after reaching his side, he slowly glanced down at the bag with a sigh.
"Big bro," he greeted softly then quickly went to the point. "Mum said that she couldn't reach you on the phone..."
"Mm." Carl nodded, remembering that he had kept his phone on silent during the meeting. He turned around and tapped in the door's password and after it opened, walked inside his house.
"Good night..." Zach watched the door which had already closed and he sighed heavily, then turned around and started walking back toward his house.
When he reached the door, he pushed it open as it was already opened from the inside. Walking inside, he locked it then changed out of his shoes and another sigh escaped his lips while he slowly walked upstairs as he could hear slight sobs coming from the bedroom.
Entering inside, his gaze was met with a gloomy-looking Mira who was already in her nightgown and he sighed inside after glancing down at what she was holding.
Mira quickly wiped the tear off her face after sensing the door opened and she sniffed softly.
