The Deal

Davis rode his scooter back to the dorm and went straight to bed with happiness in his heart. Every night, after he returns from his jobs, he would fall on the bed like a log of wood with calculation in his mind on how to feed and pay for his transport fare, but that wasn't happening tonight with Davis.

He cared less about his transport fare or how to feed, he just wanted to have a good night's rest and start his journey to wealth and riches.

 Laying on the bed, he couldn't sleep a wink, his eyes were on the ceiling as he spaced out.

 His mind flashed back to when he was a little boy. All his life, he had believed that he was an orphan and have no grandfather or any relatives because none of them came to see him in at the orphanage where he grew up, but now, he found out that he has a grandfather and not only that, he is also the heir to a big company worth trillions of dollars. 

Everything felt so unreal to him that he just couldn't believe it all.

" Let me sleep, tomorrow I can continue the thinking" Davis muttered and closed his eyes and in less than five minutes, he was already asleep and on his way to the dreamland.

 ********

 Davis was still sleeping when his alarm woke him up to prepare for class which was 7am in the morning. He did his morning routine and ran off to class since he overslept like a log of wood and ended up waking up late.

 He ran all the way to the class and only stopped running when he got to the entrance door to the class.

" Hello Davis, welcome to class!" Kelvin waved at Davis, his friends beside him.

'What does he want this early morning?' Davis said inwardly but nevertheless, he ignored Kelvin and found for himself a suitable seat.

 Soon, Rita and Giovanni walked in holding arms and murmurs and cheers followed.

" I can't believe that finally, Rita is now yours twin brother" Kelvin smiled while Giovanni returned the smile.

" She is too beautiful to be with a loser like Davis so I had to make her mine" Giovanni said, his eyes on Davis who put on his headphones so as not to hear their conversation.

" I was so stupid back then to date that poor trash when I have a rich guy who likes me" Rita said, her eyes beaming with happiness as she exchanged kisses with Giovanni.

" I am so jealous right now" Kelvin, Giovanni's twin brother said and the class burst into laughter.

" Go get yourself a girlfriend then" Kenneth said.

" Right? I should get myself a girlfriend" Kelvin said.

 Giovanni and Rita left for their seats and were all lovey-dovey inside the classroom but to their surprise, Davis never glanced at them or caused any trouble like he did the previous night when he caught Rita cheating on him.

" I guess he had a rethink about his life" Rita laughed as she looked at Davis with disdain.

" He doesn't care which meant that he has accepted that he is a loser who isn't worth you" Giovanni said and pecked Rita's lips.

" I don't know how you captured my heart darling but I love you so much," Giovanni smiled.

" Don't forget my Louis Vuitton bag which you promised to get for me from Hawaii" Rira pouted.

" I won't forget, I will order it after class" Giovanni replied while Rita pulled him into a hug.

" I don't regret my decision on choosing you over him" she muttered as he buried her face on Giovanni's broad chest.

Davis, who overheard all that they said, smirked slowly before turning on the music on his headset.

" You will surely regret it once you find out who I am" he muttered and continued his business before the lecturer walked in and lecture commenced immediately.

After the lecture, Davis left the class as he made his way to the bank to withdraw a million dollars.

Just when he got closer to the bank, the butler of the Chen family called, which he picked up without hesitation.

" Hello young master, your grandfather said he kept a vault in your name which contains; gold bars, diamonds and 50 million dollars. It was yours since you were little, he kept it for you until you turned twenty years of age. The code to the vault is 1900" the butler explained.

" A vault filled with gold bars and diamonds? What would I use it for?" Davis asked, seemingly confused. He hasn't even touched the one billion dollars, yet, he was informed that he has a vault filled with gold bars.

" It's yours young master. You've suffered alone in this world and have been humiliated by people who see you as poor trash. It's time to shake the whole world with your wealth and power" the butler said.

" Okay, thanks for informing me," Davis replied.

" The bank's name is Higher Ground bank. It belongs to the Lee family of the Capital and they are close friends with your grandfather so that's where your vault has been kept for twenty years" the butler explained and hung up.

" I think I will go to the vault first and leave the one billion dollars, " Davis muttered and entered the bank.

" Hello Mr, how may I help you?" The receptionist asked politely.

" I am here to withdraw some money from my vault" Davis replied which made the receptionist who was polite just a second ago look at him with disdain visible in her eyes.

" I am sorry sir, but only the richest of the rich have a vault here. It's not for the poor" the receptionist said.

" Dressed in a simple way doesn't make me poor does it? Is this how you treat your customers who come to withdraw money? That's very unprofessional of you" Davis flared up.

The fact that the world revolves around the wealthy alone made him angry.

" When I see a rich person, I would certainly recognize him but with the way you're dressed you're obviously a clout chaser who came here to cause a scene" the receptionist said, not even hiding her disgust towards Davis.

" Where is your manager? I need to see him or her" Davis asked, his eyes filled with fury. He was certainly going to make this receptionist pay for insulting him without knowing who he was.

" I am here. What do you need my service for?" A voice said from the hallway which made Davis turn to see a woman in her mid- thirties dressed professionally.

" Good, now that you're here, I would love to withdraw a million dollars from my vault but your receptionist yelled insults at me by calling me a clout chaser because I didn't wear flashy and expensive clothes," Davis complained angrily.

" Since you said you have a vault with our bank, I will give you the opportunity to have access to it, but if it turns out that you're a clout chaser as she said, believe me, you will end up in the police station. Deal?" The manager asked and Davis smirked.

" Deal. But if eventually I have a vault here, you will fire this lousy receptionist of yours" Davis said and the manager nodded.

" I will do exactly as you've said" she said

and led Davis to where all the vaults were kept.
