“Awwn, thank you,”

“I didn't know you thought of me in that manner." Clarissa's voice sounded from behind.

Frederick turned. "Hii, you must be…Frederick.” She smiled as she took a seat with them.

" Camilla told me a lot about you and I really wanted to meet you.” She smiled.

Frederick nodded. "I've heard a lot about you too, someone won't stop talking about you.” He turned to Michael.

“I was worried." Michael rolled his eyes.

"But why weren't you around though?” Michael asked changing the topic.

Clarissa hesitated for a moment then replied, “I was having a running stomach and so I had to skip class."

"The same thing happened yesterday,you should take your medication.” Camilla said.

‘What do you think?’ Frederick asked Minny.

Minny narrowed her eyes, "Sus, really suspicious.”

‘Find out her information.’

“Already did and that's why makes it more suspicious."

‘Why?’

“She's Clarissa McDonald, she's from an influential family in Washington DC, she attended a random highschool and that is it."

‘What college before she came here?’

“No information on that."

‘Continue searching.’

“Thank me for the one I did first.”

‘I don't wanna.’

“So ungratefu.l"

‘Whatever.’

“I'm very sure she's hiding something though."

‘Everyone has something to hide.’

“Just like you are hiding your wealth."

“Or is it like you are hiding the fact that you went to the Prestigious School Of The Gifted." Frederick rolled his eyes.

“Right, Michael tell aunty I won't come home tonight, I'm going back to my place."

“You usually stay for a week, right?"

“Why is this week different?"

"I have to attend an auction.” He replied.

"What auction?” Camilla frowned.

" It's business related.”

Clarissa scrolled through her phone as she checked out news about Diamond Estate when she got a call from her dad.

📞Clarissa: Dad? Is there an issue?

📞Mr McDonald: So? Have you started your job?

📞 Clarissa: Dad, it's going to be hard since I have some history with him.

📞 Mr McDonald: Have you gone crazy? You need to get closer to him if you want to save the company.

📞 Clarissa: I know, Dad.

📞 Clarissa: I have a friend who is close to him…I will try to get closer to her.

📞Mr McDonald : That's good, you don't have all the time in the world so you better hurry.

📞 Clarissa: Yes, father.

📞Mr McDonald: And also, there's an auction tonight…go there and you might see some business associate that we could get in touch with.

📞 Clarissa: Doesn't that require a ticket?

📞Mr McDonald: Just call me when you get there

📞 Clarissa: Okay, father.

GRAND HILTON 🏨

Everyone greeted Frederick as he entered the hotel, he stopped and adjusted his tie.

The manager greeted him. "Good evening, Sir."

"Blake, that girl working here to pay her debt…let her serve instead of washing dishes.”

" But, Sir-"

“Let her know I'm letting giving her this jon, I need to get to the auction or I would be late."

Blake bowed. “Noted, Sir."

As soon as Frederick left, Helena was called out and she bowed immediately she saw the manager.

“Good evening, Sir"

“The boss has given you a new task."

“Task?" She asked confused.

“You are to serve guests from now on,you don't need to wash dishes."

“Frederick ordered this?"

“B..but why?"

“You should learn to call him boss."

AUCTION VENUE

A cab drove in and dropped Frederick. Frederick walked to the guards at the door.

"Good evening.” He smiled as he attempted to enter but was stopped by the guards.

“Hah…my ticket, I forgot.”

A voice sounded from behind. “You forgot? Or you don't have one?"

Frederick turned with an annoyed look, " You are?”

The young man smiled smugly, "You don't know me?”

" I was right, you are a country bumpkin.”

Frederick rolled his eyes and brought out a golden ticket. "My auction ticket.”

The guard took it with shaky hands, "This is the VIP ticket.”

" Is that even real.” The young man asked with contempt.

The guard immediately checked. “Young Master Edward, it's real."

" I guess you are something.” Edward scoffed as he entered with the lady he came with.

FEW MINUTES LATER

The auction officially started and bidding immediately started taking place.

“Won't you get something apart from Wishes?" Minny asked.

‘No, do you want it?... Right, you are a system.’

“Idiot."

After a while,it finally got to Wishes.

A lady walked to the stage. "Hello, ladies and gentlemen, the star of the night is finally here…the jewelry we've all been waiting for…”

" WISHES!” A thunderous applause reigned in the arena for a few seconds.

“Alright."

“The starting bid is ten million and every bid should be at least higher with a hundred thousand dollars."

“Let the bidding…BEGIN.”

“10.5 million." A man raised his paddle.

The girl with Edward smiled and turned to Edward, “Young Master, I want that beautiful necklace."

Edward nodded. “If you want it then it's yours."

“11 million."

“12 million."

“15 million."

Edward yawned lazily. “50 million."

Everyone stopped.

“He wants this too?"

“It's better to let him have it than to fight with the Wrights."

"50 million on just one necklace?!”

The lady on the stage smiled. “fifty million going once,"

“fifty million going twice,"

" Fifty-”

"100 million.”

People froze.

Several paddles slipped from trembling hands.

Then came whispers.

" Who's willing to offer such amount for just a necklace?”

Frederick got up and walked to the stage, "100 million, if you feel it's too small then make it 200."

Edward laughed angrily. “Are you kidding me?"

“Kid, are you challenging me?"

“I am very sure I'm older but I don't care who you are, I must go home with this so place your bid…I will pay double."

🗣️ Someone is actually threatening Edward Wright? This is a first.

🗣️ Who's the other kid?

🗣️ Let's just watch, it's not like we can offend either of them.

🗣️Yeah, yeah

Edward chuckled, "Double? Then I bid 500 million."

Frederick's fingers tightened on the paddle.

“What? Can't pay?"

Frederick handed his card to the lady, “1 billion, take it from the card."

A woman covered her mouth.

Someone stood halfway through their seat.

Several guests turned to look at Frederick with newfound respect.

Someone whispered, "Did her really say one billion?”.

Murmurs spread through the hall.

“W.. what?" The lady took the card with shaky hands and handed it to a staff.

“S.. Sir, who are you?" The lady asked stuttering.

"Frederick Wilson, owner of Grand Hilton.”

" Wrap it up,I don't have all the time in the world.”

Clarissa watched quietly from across the hall.

“He has a lot of money…"

A thoughtful smile spread across her face.

In less than an hour the name Frederick Wilson became the talk of the town and calls from Michael was the first to arrive.

“Bro,how?!" Michael asked in shock.

“I won a lottery a while ago and invested,I didn't want to tell you all till I knew it was right."

“My best friend is amazing!!!" Frederick has to move the phone from his ear.

Frederick laughed softly and answered some of Michael's questions before ending the call and.

As if it was planned, Camilla's call came next but when he answered all he got was silence.

“I'm sorry."

“I should have told you."

“I should never have lied about getting a job."

“I just…I wanted to be stable financially before I told you about it."

“You bought Wishes for a billion." Camilla stated.

“Yes."

“It's original price is ten million."

“That's true."

“That is a hundred times the original amount."

“Very correct."

“What did you do wrong?"

“I spent too much money on something I shouldn't have."

“It will happen again, won't it?"

“It would."

“It would?"

“Well, it's something you've always loved." he defended.

“Are you angry I hid my wealth?"

“No,"

“A little bit."

“But I'm also overjoyed."

“I'm really happy and I shouted so loudly the neighbors looked at me."

“Too bad, Collins is on a date,I wanted to shove my phone on his face."

“I love you."

" I love you, too, Ricky.”

The next call was from Richard.

📞 Richard: I knew someone who went to the Prestigious School Of The Gifted, got a medical degree at seventeen couldn't be JUST a company owner.

📞 Richard: Turns out you have a lot more in store.

📞 Frederick: Why did you call?

📞 Richard: The Get-together is soon, don't forget.

📞 Frederick: Is that why you called?

📞 Richard: No, that greedy family has decided to give the money tomorrow with a twenty million interest.

📞 Frederick: That's good, you are not that bad after all.

" People don't forget losing a billion dollar auction.” Minny said.

‘I know that, but I trust I can get through it.’
