WHY ME?

"What?!" The driver exclaimed "What do you mean the transfer was successful?! No way that's real! You know what? Let me get a good look at that?"

The driver swiftly grabbed Alexander's phone from his hand and peered at the message.

"Your transfer of three hundred and seventy thousand dollars was successful?" He read, looking and sounding extremely shocked.

After staring at the evidence for some seconds and having no way to refute it, the driver became angry. He didn't want to believe what was in front of his eyes.

"No! This can't be real! This punk must have faked this and I can prove it! This is definitely not the real bank app and this message is fake, so all I have to do is go off of this page and—huh?" The driver said, swiping up on Alexander's phone screen and going to the minimized page where all the apps that had been opened were lined up.

He saw the icon, hovering above the top left of the page he had just minimized and, indeed, it was the Martel Green Bank app that was open.

"No! I won't believe this! I can't! How did a punk like this get three hundred and seventy thousand dollars to spend on a—?" the driver asked himself, but suddenly, at the top of Alexander's phone screen, a message notification appeared.

The driver quickly flicked his eyes to the message and saw that the sender was Martel Green Bank. Looking even closer, he saw that the message was a debit alert and Alexander's new bank balance.

He quickly went through the message, seeing the amount that was deducted from Alexander's bank account, and it was indeed three hundred and seventy thousand dollars and some extra as a transaction fee.

His eyes fidgeted.

That was more than enough evidence he needed to know that Alexander did actually do the transfer because a fake transfer wouldn't have come with a debit notification from the bank.

Enthralled by what he was reading, the driver continued, seeing the description of who received the money, and it was Gustav's Emporium, but then, something else suddenly caught his eyes.

The driver's attention was stolen by the bottom of the message which showed what Alexander's new bank balance was and, without thinking, he started to read it.

The first thing he noticed was seeing two commas on the figure and the beginning numbers being 27… but before he could see the entire number, the notification vanished.

He wasn't fast enough to finish reading the message within the short window that notifications usually appear at the top of the phone's screen, and so he was confused.

The driver couldn't believe that he had actually seen more than two million dollars in the account balance portion of the message.

Wanting to confirm, the driver attempted to go to Alexander's messages. However, before he could tap the app on the home screen, the rightful owner of the phone, who was angry at the audacity of the man to not only swipe his phone from him but also wanting to go through his messages, swiped the phone back.

"What the—?" The driver said, surprised by how fast Alexander took back his phone.

He looked at the young secret multimillionaire and saw that Alexander was glaring at him, angrily.

Ever since possessing the strength of the two hospital security, Bob and Josh, Alexander's body was slowly changing to contain it.

His muscles had gradually gotten bigger. His height was also increasing centimeter after centimeter and his face was slowly becoming more chiseled and manly. So, when the driver looked at the angry face Alexander was making, it scared the living hell out of him.

"Don't you ever dare try to take what belongs to me ever again. Do it again, and I swear that I'll make you regret ever meeting me!" Alexander threatened, and the driver went silent.

The man gulped. He didn't know someone so much younger than himself could intimidate him the way Alexander just did.

Just then, Laura, who had excused herself momentarily to call the bank and ask if they had received three hundred and seventy thousand dollars, came back with a smile on her face.

"I just confirmed with our bank, and I'm glad to say that the money was transferred successfully. On behalf of Gustav Emporium and Mr. Gustav himself, please accept my appreciation, sir" Laura said, bowing her head in respect, and unintentionally, her calm voice was able to make Alexander calm down too.

Alexander looked at her with a charming smile and said "It's no problem. Please, help me pack this up so I can take my leave"

"As you wish, sir, but before I do that, I just wanted to know if you'd like to get a wristwatch as well? Something you can wear with this suit that'll compliment it perfectly. I mean, you can't wear just any watch with an outfit this special," Laura said.

Alexander furrowed his eyebrows.

"A wristwatch?"

Laura nodded and said "That's right, sir. You said you wanted to look like you fit in with the high-class. Well, they all wear wristwatches, especially when going to someone like a casino"

Alexander placed his hand on his chin, reflecting on the suggestion Laura had just given and also remembering always seeing Mr. Dove wearing a nice wristwatch whenever he goes out.

"You're right. I do need a watch", Alexander said, then dropped his hand from his chin.

"Do you have any place in mind where I can get one?" He asked, and Laura smiled from ear to ear.

"Of course I do, sir, or else I wouldn't have brought up the idea. Well, Mr. Gustav has a particular company he works with when requesting diamonds for certain outfits he makes, and it so happens that that same company has a branch in this city", Laura said, and Alexander, who was happy to hear that, smiled.

"If you're willing to go there, I can give you the address right now. I promise that it's not that far", Laura said, and Alexander nodded.

Without wasting time, she told him the name and the location of the jewelry shop.

"Thank you" Alexander said.

"No, thank you, sir. I'm sure that Mr. Gustav would be happy to hear that the outfit he made has been bought by someone worth. Now, if you'd excuse me, I'll start packing what you've purchased"

She was about to turn around and start arranging everything to pack and give to Alexander, but then, the young multimillionaire who was curious and had a very important question interrupted her.

"Excuse me, but I just want to know. Why didn't you guys show this suit to any of the other customers you've had before me? From what you said earlier, it sounds like you've had it locked up for a while, and I'm sure you've had customers who more than likely had the money to pay for it. I mean, I can think of a few people off the top of my head that can pay the full price without a sweat, but why me? Why now?" Alexander asked.

Laura looked at Alexander from head to toe, then she said "Honestly, I only decided to allow you to be the first person to see this special outfit since we locked it in this wardrobe because of how you looked."
