Chapter 2 - Playing with fire

"does she have no shame?" Joseph muttered and hurried after Camryn with the look of sheagrine on his face, he tried to open the door to the VIP room but its already been locked from inside, he was worried the poor lady would do something bad to his boss, he quickly ran back to get the security.

Inside the VIP room Carlos Miller, the bank manager leaning against the sofa looking at his phone, when the door quickly opened, he quickly sat down and put his phone away. Normally when a VIP customer was coming into the VIP room, Joseph would inform him before hand, as the customer manager, he was responsible for forty-five VIPs, and he knew them like he knows the back of his hand, he immediately began to position himself into his normal professional greeting, hoping to undo the poor impression he made by slouching against the sofa, but when he saw Camryn, his expression froze, he was certain that Camryn was not one of his VIPs, nor was she a relative with one

"Hello!" Camryn said as she stepped into the VIP room, Carlos curiously starred at her

"May I ask who you are?" Carlos asked looking at the young woman who appeared to be around twenty years old, Carlos had no idea who she was, Camryn got straight to the point

"I'm here to get my money" She said looking at Carlos who starred at her in disbelief

"Do you have one of our cards ma'am?" Carlos asked suspicious of Camryn's calm expression

"No!" Camryn admitted frankly, Carlos was relieved to seem to have been proven right but even more confused, access to the VIP room, required a minimum worth of forty million dollars but this woman didn't have any money, why was she so composed?

"I'm sorry ma'am! but we can't give out our money without a card, do you require anything else?" Carlos asked thinking the woman in front of him is crazy "why on earth did Joseph let him in? I have to speak to him about this at Monday's meeting" Carlos thought inwardly

"You have finger prints recognition here right?" Camryn suddenly asked, the finger prints ID system at the bank is for the wealthiest families businesses to use, only few people had their finger prints recorded in the system, at least in the UK branch and no one has used it to access their holdings yet

"You want to use it?" Carlos asked, he could no longer bring himself to call Camryn "ma'am" anymore

"Yes!" Camryn nodded, Carlos was feeling even more confused by the second, why would someone who wasn't even a customer yet request to use a finger print ID. To be honest even though he was curious, Carlos felt that it was barely worth a "no" request but after considering for a few seconds, he finally decided to let Camryn make attempt rather than making her angry, as he thought her to be crazy, he didn't want to get her upset to avoid causing issues that would make he lose his job or position, he opened his safe and brought the finger print identification device which he had never used before

"Place your thumb here" Carlos said indicating the verification sensor area to Camryn, she placed her thumb on the sensor, the device lite up with a glaring red light, and the L.C.D screen displayed the words "finger prints not recorded" Carlos expression immediately turned hostile and he glared at Camryn, he picked up his phone ready to call the police

"wait! wait!" Camryn said quickly "maybe that was the wrong print, I will try using my middle finger this time" Carlos smiled coldly as he glared at Camryn

"What's your plan here? your thumb doesn't work so you will try your middle finger, then if your middle finger doesn't work, you will try your index finger, when you run out of finger, maybe you will try using your toes or perhaps your tongue?" Carlos asked angrily with a husky voice, but Camryn has already placed her middle finger on the verification area, Carlos resolved in his mind that if the lady's finger wasn't accepted this time, he would immediately call the police to have her arrested. The finger prints ID system beeped and a green verification light appeared on the device, a new details flashed up on the L.C.D screen, verification successful, family account 01, verifier, Camryn Ambrose, account, 01102. Carlos gaped at Camryn in disbelief for a moment and then hurriedly squeezed out a smile "Ms Ambrose! I'm sorry, I didn't realize, I'm Carlos Miller, the customer manager for the Uk branch please allow me to assist you" Carlos said and he beckoned to Camryn to take a seat

"It's alright, no problem" Camryn said and took a seat "can I see how much money I have left in my account?" She asked looking at him

"Sure! please wait a moment" Carlos said and typed on the computer for a while on his instructions Camryn provided a few more finger prints authorization "it's done Ms Ambrose" Carlos said and clicked the Ok keyboard on the screen and Camryn's account details flashed on the screen. Carlos pointed to the computer screen and said "Ms Ambrose! the balance of your bank account is currently ninety six million dollars" Carlos couldn't help but gasp with his eyes wide open, this young woman had an enormous fortune which placed her on the top flight of the one percent, most people would never be able to even dream or wish for that much money. Camryn felt strange by the amount of money that appeared on the screen, she reminded herself that she needs to get used to her status as a rich kid as soon as possible "oh!" Carlos exclaimed looking at the screen "you have other assets as well, let me show you now" he said and scrolled through the system and finally clicked the Ok button. The computer brought out a four by four gride of displayed screen "the survelance screen displays all the physical assets you own else where" Carlos explained clicking on the upper left corner on the screen and brought up the fee of the best bank at the hake which revealed a sport car, in a corner it said Ferrari begarni hurrah, Carlos opened other screen for Camryn one after another, the New York branch displayed a deminico red pearl necklace and six stacks of gold bars, the feed from the french branch revealed four original parcasol paintings and three roddent statues and the US branch has twenty caret diamonds, ten pieces of ivory and another couple of gold stack bars, Carlos eyes almost popped out as he looked at Camryn's asset, he had never seen anyone so wealthy "how can a young woman at the age of twenty have this amount of money?" he thought looking at the assets displayed on the screen

"That's okay!" Camryn said "I would like a card" she requested further

"Please wait a moment ma'am! I will see to it right away" Carlos said and immediately started to make the necessary arrangements for a black card though it wasn't good enough for Camryn's status but it was the highest grade of cards they were authorized to issue in UK, the card was produced in less than ten minutes "Ma'am! your card" Carlos said and handed the card over to Camryn who looked at the black card and smiled

"Thank you!" Camryn said and stood to her feet and went to walk out of the room when Carlos stopped her "Ms Ambrose! please wait" he pleaded, he didn't dare to appear to neglecting such an important customer, he should see her out personally but first he needed to disconnect all trace of Camryn's asset that was displayed on his screen to avoid problems so he let her go alone. Meanwhile Joseph anxiously stood by the door with the security men with fear in his heart, "what is taking them so long? could that crazy woman probably done something bad to Mr Carlos?" he thought but at that moment the door cracked open and Camryn stepped out

"Stop!!" Joseph commanded with a hostile voice, he walked over and held

Camryn's arm "you can't leave, you broke into the VIP room but once we confirm that nothing is missing then you're free to go or else I will call the police to hold you for questioning" Joseph yelled angrily as he grabbed her arm, his fingers dug deep into Camryn's arm that she got upset

"What are you talking about?" She asked angrily trying to free from his grip, Joseph ordered one of the female securities to search her since she was a lady while he still held unto her arm without minding the injury he was inflecting on her "what is wrong with this man?" Camryn thought, the security brought out the black card in Camryn's breast pocket and showed it to Joseph who glared at Camryn in surprise

"What is this?" he asked angrily looking at the card as if he had found an evidence against her crime, he asked "oh you stole a card?" he asked looking at her but Camryn just starred at him in disbelief "alright then, I will call the police" he said angrily, he had had enough of the poor crazy woman in front him and he was going to take it on himself to see she's punished. It didn't even cross his mind that the card could belong to Camryn, he imagined she's entered the VIP room pretending to be lost and then stole a card by distracting Mr Miller

"Let go of me!" Camryn yelled, she was sick and tired of this man's attitude

"Don't you feel ashamed of being a thief?" Joseph asked looking at her, he was even more determined, with the two of them creating such a scene, other customers started to walk over towards them, intending to help Joseph keep Camryn from getting away, Just then Carlos who's finished tiding up Camryn 's credentials, strolled out of the VIP room, having seen Camryn's asset, Carlos now knew she was the most important customer that the UK branch had ever had, he had also noticed that the system listed Camryn's account has just one of multiple accounts attached to a family group labeled 01. If that single account was so lucrative, what about the rest of the family? It was rare to meet such an important people, so Carlos knew he had to be careful to incure favor with Camryn, if they got along well, it would be a tremendous success for Carlos and the potential benefits were huge, so when he saw Joseph struggling with Camryn, he was enraged, Joseph's expression was hostile and Camryn was becoming very upset. Joseph was an idiot who was playing with fire, and he might drag Carlos himself with him, of all the bank many many customers, why does he need to pick on Camryn? a single flip of Camryn's finger could be enough to end both their careers. Carlos was frightened.
