Who's The Loser Now? Chapter 17
After bidding their farewells to Madison, and tipping Steph, the counter staff from Starb*cks, Derek and Amanda, left the cafe and made their way back to Derek's office at Quinton Tower. They decided to take an alternate route back to Quinton Tower to ensure Madison does not see them. It is clear that Derek does not want to reveal his true identity to Madison. Not yet anyway. "That was a surprise, meeting my cousin Madison here in the HNW zone. To my memory, she has never entered this zone." exclaimed Derek. "Hey boss, how does everyone in the Smith family dress? As a woman myself, I must say she looks really classy." Amanda became curious. "You know something....that's the best looking version of Madison I've ever seen. She never dolls up like that. The rest of the family do dress very professionally; but that's because they are outside meeting clients all the time. Madison never dresses up because she was always kept in the office." replied Derek. "Wait a minute....Amanda....are

"WHAT?"Madison's eyes widened with shock. 'A thousand dollar tip? How is this possible?' thought Madison. "It's true." Steph replied. "In fact, before he left the cafe this morning, he gave me another thousand dollar tip. Oh, and he used his black credit card to tip me. Can you believe that? I've never see a black card before until his first visit to the cafe." Madison could feel her head spinning as she tried to digest the bombshell revelation Steph has dropped on her.Her reaction was understandable. Up until her brother was kicked out of the house, Madison always remembered her brother being very frugal and barely had any savings to his name.How was he able to go from broke and virtually disowned to twice giving thousand dollar tip in a matter of weeks?Things clearly did not make sense to Madison whatsoever; but she didn't want to show her confusion to Steph."You and your cousin must come from a really wealthy family. Still it's nice to know that there are nice, rich people

In the Smith household, everyone was having dinner in the dining room. Everyone except Madison. The atmosphere was rather gloomy and tensions were so thick it can be cut with a knife. "So, how is the progress for the Quinton Consortium projects?" asked Madam Louise. "I'm halfway done with my designs, Grandma." replied Charles. "Halfway done? Haha yeah right. I peeked at your work. It doesn't look a quarter done." mocked Mason. "Speak for yourself idiot. You are not even halfway done yourself." Charles retorted. "Enough you two." ordered Madam Louise. "How about you Chloe and Juri?" "Grandma, I'm nearly done with my designs. I should be able to finish them by tomorrow." replied Chloe. "Same here for me Grandma. I may take a bit longer to put the finishing touches." replied Juri. "That's nice to hear. Now listen carefully. I want all your final drafts ready by Monday. They should be on my office table first thing in the morning. I will go through all of them before giving my app

The sun was barely up and shining through the windows of the Quinton Mansion on a Sunday morning. Derek was already awake, doing his morning stretching exercise. Ever since living in the Quinton Mansion, Derek developed a early morning routine of morning stretching and static exercise. At least three times a week, Derek would do a morning run around the Quinton Mansion. He was in the midst of doing his static exercises when he heard a knock on his room door. Not wanting to be rude, Derek paused his routine and went to answer it. "Morning, Young Master Derek." It was Sandra, the housemaid. "Good morning, Sandra. How may I help you?" greeted Derek. Derek did not realise that he when he answered his room door, he was half naked and Sandra had a full view of his upper body chiselled arms, chest, six-pack washboard abs and all. Sandra gasped and blushed slightly before informing Derek her reason for knocking at his door. "Erm...Master and Madam Quinton wanted me to inform you that y

"Desmond? Is that you?" When he was still Derek Smith, Derek got fired from his job and one of his colleagues, Desmond, openly mocked him as he was exiting the office. Derek remembered that moment crystal clear; but he also remembered squaring up to Desmond. His facial expression and response to Desmond's mockery was enough to shut up everyone in the office that day. How the tables have turned. Derek is now the son of the most powerful family in Townsville, while the once egomanic Desmond is now a janitor, in his father's hotel no less. Yet, something did not make sense. Why is Desmond here in England instead of back in Townsville? "Desmond. What are you doing here?" asked Derek. Desmond, now the janitor, looked at Derek, surprisingly with no contempt. "Hi Derek, it's been awhile. I see that you are doing well for yourself. I'm happy for you" "Thanks; but why are you here? What happened to your previous job?" Derek was still puzzled. Desmond sighed, "It's a long story. I don'

"Hey Derek. Derek Smith!"'That voice....oh no....Carmen' Derek sighed in his thoughts.

William was starting to go pale. Reality was slowly setting in. He had just offended someone he should not have offended. His virtual death warrant was signed, sealed and delivered.Within a minute, Owen and Amanda walked out to the restaurant entrance and stood next to Derek.Upon seeing this powerful trio in front of him, and feeling a killer aura exuding from them, William dropped to his knees, sweating profusely and shaking in fear."So, er....what was it you said about offering me a security job?" mocked Derek."Heh heh....I....I was joking with you sir. Of course I didn't mean what I said. I'll be lucky if I am a security guard at Quinton Tower. Please spare me." begged William.Owen had enough of William's antics."Well this is not a joke; and you are nowhere near secure. You just offended the son of Master Quinton. Read my lips Mr Norton! YOU! ARE! FIRED!!!" shouted Owen.William broke down bawling profusely at the realisation that he is now jobless.Carmen meanwhile remained

Peter and Lea Quinton were peacefully enjoying their breakfast in Chef Marcel's private outdoor dining area when Owen, Amanda and Derek walked in to rejoin them for their breakfast. "That must have been an interesting situation outside." Peter commented. "It's fine, Dad. We took care of the situation." replied Derek. "Honey, do you think our son needs extra security?"asked Lea. "Barely two hours here in Brighton and someone is already looking for trouble with him." "Do as you see fit, mum. I'm ok either way. I'm actually enjoying this trip. It feels good dealing with two parts of my past." replied Derek. "Two, son?" asked Peter. "Oh yeah, I forgot. Before the whole fiasco with Carmen, I ran into my ex-colleague, Desmond. Owen, do you remember the day I got fired from my last job? Desmond was one of the employees there. It turns out he's working as a janitor here now." "Oh. How did that happen?" asked Owen. "Long story, Owen; but for now, let him continue working here. I have a
