Y city,

Theo's cafe.

This cafe is the second-best in the city and is where Nelson Woodley has currently arrived in his car. It's obvious that he must have visited a boutique since he's no longer wearing the suit from earlier but denim ripped blue jeans, white converse, an oversized black t-shirt with a 'Bad boy' logo pasted at the front.

He's also sporting a black cap which he turned towards the back and a gold long chain around his neck. On his left hand was a ring on his index finger and a chain bracelet. Seeing him like this, some girls and women screamed: "Handsome, marry me".

Nelson smiled and shook his head. He looked at his golden wristwatch in his right hand and looked at the clouds.

"I'd better get in before my darling comes in, " he muttered to himself and smiled again at the women, causing some to fall to the ground. Then he went inside the cafe where he was greeted by a server (waiter).

"Please, a cup of coffee," Nelson said as he walked to the extreme of the cafe to sit.

"Yes sir," said the server as he went to et the order.

2 minutes later, a Rolls-Royce pulled over behind Nelson's car and Lisa's dad dressed in an Arabian male outfit (white thobe, ghutra and egal) and black sandals alighted from the car wearing sunglasses.

He closed the door and put his hands in his pockets. Seeing him, some people crossed over to the other side.This guy looks scary. It's not prejudiced. Lisa's father indeed was like ice, freezing ice that made people want to stay away from him. He scoffed at their actions.

"Stupid. That's why they remain poor and never progress. Puny ants!" he said in a voice that others could hear. He did not mind the dirty looks from those who stayed at their spot and entered the cafe.

"Hey darling, over here!" Nelson called from the extreme. Lisa's dad turned to the right and saw Nelson waving at him with a smile. He scoffed before walking over to Nelson. Then he picked a chair and sat cross-legged.

"Darling, now don't make this face at me. Smile for your honey, will you?" Nelson teased.

"Don't beat around the bush. I don't have time, " Lisa's dad said dryly as he looked at his wristwatch.

"Pretend! Keep pretending hypocrite"

"Nelson, I don't have time. Hurry and tell me your aim. Time isn't on my side. Or are you going to pay me for the time wasted?"

"Jackie..." Nelson called affectionately, blinking thrice.

"I'm not a dog"

"Do only dogs bear Jack?" Nelson teased this block of ice.

"And I'm a male. Speak to me like a real man. No dallying alright?"Lisa's dad as getting irritated by this sissy before him. If he'd known he wouldn't have agreed to a meet-up with him.

"I know, darling! Server, please get us a big jug of coffee and a mug. Both I and my darling here will get drunk," said Nelson.

"Get drunk with coffee? Silly!" Lisa's dad (whom I may refer to as Mr. Jack Reynold) scoffed..

"Come on stoneface... be free for once. Do you know what I did today? I humiliated a stupid worker of mine and paid her some money for entertaining me." Nelson confessed.

"Moron" Lisa's dad muttered.

"Hey, stop saying such things. You're making me unhappy"Nelson whined.

"Then die, " Jack stated an unfeasible option.

"Die?" Nelson asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Only dead people don't cry and remain peaceful"

"Oh! *in a hushed tone* is that why you didn't care for your little Lisa?" Nelson was clearly trying to poke at a dragon's butt here.

"Don't mention her name before me again. She should be grateful that I didn't throw her out"

"Jack, you can't say such a thing. I know you hate her mum but Lisa's innocent," Nelson tried to reason with his 'darling'.

"Are you here to preach to me on how to care for her?"

"No, I'm here because... I want to spend some time with you. Lie that you weren't excited to read my letter," Nelson returned to his tease.

"I... don't waste my time. A second wasted is money lost," Lisa's dad said unhappily.

"You really are a dumbhead, Jack."

"Do you know I canceled 3 meetings and an appointment to come here?" Jack was getting more irked. As he thought earlier, this guy was just here to eat his time. Such a good b*stard that he is!

"And what about me? I miss you a lot. Let's visit a hotel after the coffee rivalry."

"You're crazy, "Lisa's dad said before standing.

At this time, the waiter had arrived with the jug of coffee and a mug both placed on a tray.

"I regret coming here," Jack said before turning to leave.

"Hey, darling, you can't just leave. Wait for me, love!" Nelson yelled as he rose up from is seat frantically.

Nelson chased after Jack and held him by his left hand.

"Don't leave, Jack! It wasn't easy for me to see you. Please don't leave. I just want to talk to you about something"

"Then let's leave and go somewhere better than here," Jack stated coldly and left the cafe; car keys in hand.

Nelson threw ten dollars on one table and ran out to see that Jack had already ignited the car engine and was about to zoom off.

Distressed, Nelson yelled.

"Wait, darling. You can't ditch this poor one here. Hold your reins for a minute, okay?" Nelson ran to his car and opened the driver's door.

Jack hissed and drove the car away at a rather perilous speed, forcing pedestrians to get out of his way.

One red-haired, tall lady wearing 'designer' heels and a mini jeans skirt under a crop top fell on the ground, scraping her knee and her mini jeans skirt tore at the right side revealing that she did not wear even a short knicker underneath just blue cotton panties.

Some laughed at her, while some lecherous men tried to see more.

"You all..." she pointed at them in anger."shameless people, " she cursed as she helped herself up from the ground, only to find that one of her heels had broken.

Gosh! She was so mad now. These heels were bought for her by one of her sugar daddies at 100 dollars and now they are broken because of some silly man. She gritted her teeth in anger and swore to teach whoever did this to her a lesson.

Nelson, seeing what his 'darling' had caused, shook his head with a sigh and fastened his seat belt.Today, after so long, he would be having a competition with Jack. He ignited the car engine and also drove off at breakneck speed, shocking many people.

Nelson, however, did not forget to throw a bundle of money at the angry lady. The lady picked up the money and found out that the money was in 10,000 dollars notes amounting to 1,000,000 dollars.

The lady's eyes shone, and she quickly put the money into her big black bag for fear of it being collected by these people. She took off her heels and ran, forgetting about the torn area on her skirt.

"See all you want, I don't care. All I care about now is the safety of my money." she thought as she ran.

Some men were chasing her. They didn't know how much was in her hand but they were sure it's over 10000 dollars.Thankfully, a cab pulled over, and she entered quickly. By the time the men reached where she had been, the cab has zoomed off at breakneck speed.

"Who knew that a randomly torn skirt would earn me this much money. Whoever those two people are, may heavens bless them abundantly and they'll have happy marriages and happy life. They are the kindest men in this world" she praised in her heart.

Earlier she had been cursing them but because of money, this lass had started to bless Jack and Nelson like a father blessing his children.
