"I would like that you lay low and keep your cool at the McCall's until we are able to figure out what happened to your dad's jet and more importantly why it happened."
Williams Dave said, his voice was laced reasoning.
Mark stared at him as he contemplated on what he was just told.
"You are right sir, if my dad's jet was compromised with a coverup news, that means something fishy is going on and I might be a possible next target."
Mark added, his face now etched with a mixture of anxiety and trepidation.
"Lord Scott, I'm very sure no one is aware of your existence for now."
"Your dad did a great job hiding your birth from the world and I believe it was for a purpose best known to him."
"Right now, like I said already, lay low at your foster home and together we will figure out what happened to your parents the day of their crash."
Williams Dave voice was laced with a hint of assurance.
Mark stared back and forth at Williams Dave and his mom's ATM card that had access to billions of dollars.
************************************************
Moments later, Mark gets off the Escalade just about 6 poles from the McCall's.
"Lord Scott, remember what we discussed earlier, you can get your bike from the back of the car."
"Alright sir Williams, you know you should have let me go back and pick up my bike instead of getting me a brand new gold plated bike."
Mark said immediately as he stared askance at Williams Dave.
"You know what, I think you are right, let's go back and get your bike."
"What was I thinking?"
"A supposed poor boy showing up to lectures suddenly on a gold plated bike definitely would draw attention to you."
Williams Dave’s voice was laced with disappointment at his very own decision.
"You think! Old man"
Mark asked sarcastically as Williams Dave pulled over the car back and they went back to the Silicon High university garage to get his bike.
"I pleade with you Lord Scott, whatever you do, try not drawing attention to yourself…we have a lot of troubles on our hands already."
With that been said, Williams Dave drove off, letting Mark continue his journey alone back to his foster home, a place where disdain had already become part of his living.
Getting inside the mansion, Mark realized that both David and Rose McCall his foster parents, weren't around.
"Where could they possibly be?”
He thought to himself as he walked slowly to his room, staring at his watch, it was already 7.45pm.
Getting inside his room, Mark bolted the door and immediately laid on his bed pondering on all Williams Dave had told him and all that happened today, starting from the unexpected breakup from Zoe White to finding out that he had been a trillionaire from birth.
As he was lying on the bed trying to comprehend his thoughts, a heavy knock came on his door causing him to shudder out of his thoughts.
"Who is there?"
"Come here, you little devil!"
The cold and mean voice of a lady immediately broke through.
"s**t, it's Amber."
Mark muttered to himself as he rushed towards the door and opened it.
Standing before him was three ladies who stared at him in disgust.
"I and my friends here are having a sleepover tonight, get this laundry ready in 15 minutes and get it delivered to my room. Understood”?
Amber’s voice was laced with anger and disgust as Charlotte James and Susan Luiz threw their dirty laundry on Mark and they pranced out laughing mockfully at Mark.
"Remember Mark, you have 13 minutes left, so hurry up and get to work."
Mark shook his head in disappointment.
"If only they know who I have become as of today."
Mark immediately took the cloths to the laundry room. As he was washing, he realized that the ladies had left their dirty underwear in the laundry.
Placing a peg on his nose in disgust, he packed the dirty underwears into the laundry bag and proceeded to dry the washed clothes and went straight to deliver the clothes to the ladies.
Knock! Knock!! Knock!!!
The thudding knock on the door alarmed the ladies causing them to reduce their loud music as they opened the door.
"That was fast."
"Amber, your maid sure does know his job very well."
Susan Luiz said as she stared at Mark who was handing her over their laundry and the laundry bag full of their dirty undies.
"I'm not her maid mind you, I'm actually a billi…I meant the adopted child of her parents."
Mark quickly came up with a coverup as he almost was about to reveal his true identity just as Williams Dave had pleaded him not to.
"Just so you know there is clearly no difference between a family maid and an adopted son."
Charlotte James contributed as they laughed out loudly and scornfully.
"And what's that in the laundry bag?" Amber asked immediately, her face etched in bewilderment.
"Oh, those are your dirty underwear, you don't expect me to wash them right?"
Mark asked immediately as he stared at them in surprise.
You can have… “before Mark could complete his sentence, he was interrupted by a heavy slap from Charlotte that sent him off his feet and straight to the ground.
"Are you nuts or something?!"
"Why not just finish the laundry?!"
Amber yelled straight to his face on the floor.
Before Mark could realize what was going on, Susan emptied the bag filled with their dirty underwears on Mark.
Charlotte pulled out her phone immediately and they made a mockery live video of him as the ladies dumped their dirty underwear on him.
"Mark I'm live on i********: and afterwards I'm going to post this embarrassing video of you on every social media, let's see if the world would love Pantsman."
Amber said as she and her friends were laughing while Amber prepared the video to be posted online.
"I love the hashtag… #Pantsman."
“Sounds good right?”
Charlotte James said as she laughed out loud.
"Don't you dare post that video of me online, else you face my wrath.
Mark yelled as he stood up from the ground staring at the ladies, with his fist clenched so tight in anger.
"Your wrath?"
They all laughed and mocked Mark even more.
"Have you forgotten your place in this house all of a sudden?"
"Let me ring it as a bell to you. You are nothing but a poor little brat who my mom picked from the orphanage."
Amber said disdainfully as she went ahead to post the video on i********:.
Within 45 seconds the video went viral as everyone was now tagging Mark #Pantsman.
To worsen the whole situation, Zoe White saw the video too.
Mark was so ashamed that he immediately b
ent his head and walked away from the room.
"You all will regret this, I promise…"
Mark said as he pulled out his phone on his way to his room.
