Chapter 80
As soon as the senior lady announced the astronomical price tag of the house, immediately a swarm of security guards appeared out of nowhere, covering every exit like a human barricade.
Their stern faces and bulging muscles made it crystal clear to Ethan that he wasn't going anywhere until everything was settled.
At that moment the senior lady's lips curled into a mockery smile, her eyes glinting with malicious look, seeing the look on Ethan's face she would tell he never expected what was coming his way, but now it's too late to cry.
"Well, well, well,"
she drawled, her voice dripping with no Sympathy.
"Looks like someone owes our company a cool hundred grand. Better start saving your every pennies, kid, because we are not letting you leave without providing the money, for our time wasted"
At that moment the top client threw his head back, and let out a barking laugh that echoed through the scene.
"Oh, this is just too good!"
he crowed, rubbing his hands together like a cartoon villain.
"Our company been looking for a new janitor for a while now, and it looks like we just found one. For free!"
without wasting anymore time he leaned in close to Ethan, his hot breath still reeking of expensive cigars.
"Listen up, you little punk. You'll be working full-time, not part-time. I don't care one bit if it interferes with your precious schooling, it's none of my business. Maybe next time, you'll think twice of any decision you make before opening your mouth to utter nonsense."
Ethan stood there, his brow furrowed in confusion as he gazed at both the lady and the man, he couldn't believe they still thought he wouldn't be able to afford the property when he hadn't even said anything.
At that moment it was becoming irritating to him and he said with a cold voice.
"Why are both of you acting like I've already lost?"
he said, his eyes getting even colder.
"Both of you didn't even give me a chance to pay yet! and you have already conclude between yourself"
Both of them gaze at each other. They still didn't understand Ethan's attitude, they couldn't believe he's still acting as if he can afford the property when it's clear as daylight.
With a defiant glint in his eye, Ethan reached into his pocket and pulled out the sleek black card that Lady Madison had entrusted him with.
He turned to the senior lady, his gaze unwavering.
"Well, I guess this means you're out of a job,"
"If this kid actually buys the house, I'll make a killing in commissions, a whopping 10 percent"
she mused, her eyes glazing over with visions of dollar signs.
"And also I'll be promoted to the top sales position for sure! with just the sale it's going to change my life, and my position in the company"
But then, a sinking realization hit her like a ton of bricks.
"Oh, wait... I'll have to resign if he goes through with it. Damn it, that a stupid bet!"
However something still tells her Ethan was just kidding and he doesn't have such money.
She shook her head in disbelief for her to be thinking that the possibility of it being true was a shame to her personality.
She was so caught up in her own internal thoughts that she barely registered the man's voice cutting through her thoughts.
"There's no way this snot-nosed punk has seven million bucks,"
he scoffed, his voice dripping with disdain.
"I'll eat my own shoes if he does."
At that moment she woke up from her thoughts and with a collective shrug, the group made their way to the office's payment machine. Ethan stepped up to the terminal, the black card glinting under the fluorescent lights.
Without wasting anymore time as all eyes were on him.
He swiped it through the reader, his heart was calm knowing he had enough, because he had only spent one million dollars from the ten ladies Madison gave him.
Ethan imputed the amount and hit pin.
Beep. Whir. Click.
The machine sprang to life, its screen started flashing with a dizzying array of numbers.
Then, as quickly as it had started, the machine fell silent.
The transaction was complete.
Seven million dollars. Paid in full.
"Transaction completed"
