Derek had Hector stop the car just outside the car dealership centre. He still didn't want people to know his real identity yet.It was fortunate that Derek was in casual jeans, a t-shirt, sports shoes and wearing a blue cap. It was a really good disguise in his mind.Derek went into the first showroom. The first impression he had was not a good one. No one bothered to greet him even though he was a customer there. Derek decided to ignore the lack of customer service and took a look around. Soon, he saw an electric car that caught his eye. An all electric Lotus Evija. A two seater black painted car with wing doors that face outwards and upwards, like Lamborghini doors.Initially, Derek was set on purchasing that car; but the lack of customer service was now bothering him. "Can I help you, Sir?" at last, a salesperson tended to him.'About time.' thought Derek as he turned around to address the salesperson who greeted him."No way! Derek Smith?" said the salesperson. "Hold on...I r
After walking along all the shops at BDT mall, Amanda decided to start her day at one of the high class spas. She has been working hard ever since being appointed as Derek's secretary. It is rare that she has time for herself to wind down; and she was going to fully utilise the time available to her.Her spa experience there was indeed one of a kind. The female masseuse was very skilled, applying lavender oil all over Amanda to help her relax and be comfortable. With the soothing background music playing, Amanda subconsciously fell asleep, while the masseuse skillfully massaged her body, relieving the stress from Amanda's body.Ninety minutes went by and Amanda's massage session was finished. She woke up, feeling more refreshed and she could feel her body being less tense. She finished off her spa experience with a nice jacuzzi session.After a wonderful spa visit, Amanda felt it was time to visit a salon. She had wanted to change her hairstyle for sometime and now was her chance to d
The setting sun provided a wonderful hue in the sky. The sky hue perfectly matched Amanda's dress and hair as Derek drove along the coastal highway en route to Quinton Hotel Townsville. It was too good an opportunity for Amanda to pass. She took out her phone and took a couple of selfies, including one that showed Derek's chiseled side profile. "I can't wait to see the pic you just took. As soon as we reach the hotel, you have to show me those pictures." said Derek excitedly. "Absolutely. I can't wait to show you." replied Amanda. Soon Derek's car stopped at the valet spot of Quinton Hotel Townsville. The valet staff, professional as expected of all Quinton Consortium staff, opened both doors and escorted Derek and Amanda out of the car. Derek then passed his keys to one of the valet staff for parking.Guests and passerbys that saw Derek's brand new Rimac Nevera were starstruck by the sheer sleekness and coolness exuded by the car. They didn't hesitate to take pictures of the car
"Security. Watch our backs while I make this call." Derek requested."Yes, Sir." the Security team replied and formed a line in front of Judith and Tyler. "Wait here for me, Amanda. I'll be back." said Derek."I'll be here." replied Amanda and gave Derek a kiss on his cheek."Hah! You think this group of security guards are supposed to scare me? You're just a fake and a loser. You will be exposed and the security here will drag YOUR sorry a** out!!" mocked Tyler.Two minutes later, Derek disconnected his call and returned to Amanda's side."Who did you call?" asked Amanda."I made a call to Owen. Watch on. The fun is about to start." said Derek, before turning his attention to Judith and Tyler."Listen closely you two. You have about....oh I don't know...another sixty seconds to take back what you said about me and my girlfriend here, apologise to both of us, and we'll all just go our separate ways, as though nothing ever happened." warned Derek.'Oh My God! Derek just called me his
Hi readers!I just want to take the time to thank you.I hope you have been enjoying reading "Who's The Loser Now?" thus far.This is the first time I'm writing a novel. Honestly, I'm not a reading type of person. I didn't see myself writing an essay for the public to read, let alone a novel.So to be writing my first novel is really something new, yet exciting for me.Shout out to all the authors whose books I've been reading and in turn got inspired to write my own. Please feel free to leave your comments. That helps a lot.Don't worry readers. It's not the end yet. Far from it.Stay tuned for more chapters coming.
Bombshell!"WHAT?!?"Madison and Steph reacted simultaneously to Nick's bombshell revelation. "Nick! This is big news! Are you sure about this?" asked Steph."Yeah! How did you find out about this?" Madison was surprised and happy for her cousin at the same time."Ok, hear me out. Earlier today, Amanda came to my sister's boutique, looking for a dress. She said that she was going on a date tonight." began Nick.'Oh my goodness. Ms Amanda is on a date tonight. I hope it's with brother Derek.' thought Madison."As my sister Joanne was charging her card, her phone rang and she answered it. Guess what...the first two words out of her mouth were 'Hi, Derek'" said Nick."Woah seriously?" asked Steph."Wait a minute, Nick. Not to be a buzzkill; but she could be calling Derek for business." said Madison. "I get it, Madison. I listened to her throughout her phone call. She was talking to our Derek all the way....and she ended her call by saying 'See you tonight' before hanging up." replied N
Monday blues. Back to business, one would think, as usual. Not this particular Monday morning.The atmosphere was tense in Derek's office at the Quinton Tower. Derek himself was seated in his own office chair looking out the window, deep in thought.Standing beside him was his secretary....and girlfriend, Amanda. She was not looking out the window, instead she was facing the seating area in front of Derek's desk. She had a stern poker face look as she stared at the seating area.That's because seated there were Desmond, Jocelyn, Wayne, Kimberly and Owen...yes, even Owen was called to Derek's office.All five were sitting nervously, waiting for Derek to say something. They could not read Derek's mind and they feared for the worst.Finally, Desmond could not take it anymore and decided to risk it. He took the initiative to break the silence."Boss, about last night...I know we were wrong to eavesdrop on you and Ms Amanda. I'm sorry. I apologise on their behalf." said Desmond. There wa
As everyone else left Derek's office, it was just Amanda and Derek left alone. As much as they wanted more of each other's company, they knew they had to remain professional in the office. "You know, that closet in the corner can store more than just suits and men's shoes. I think you can have a few dresses stored there for events like Sunday." suggested Derek. "That would be nice. I suppose that shower holds more than one person?" Amanda asked cheekily. "You bad, bad girl. I love you so much." replied Derek. "Hey I've got an idea, why don't we visit BDT mall this evening? We can shop for some dresses and shoes for me to put in that closet." Amanda suggested. "Good idea. We can also find out how much Nick knows about us." replied Derek. "So I'll see you later this evening?" asked Amanda. "Sure. Oh and er....since I went to your place last night, how about you come to my place for dinner? You've been to the Quinton Mansion before, haven't you?" asked Derek. "That sounds nice...
