Hundred Times Income Multiplier System

Chapter 29 Celine



After getting out of the building under the gazes of several salespersons and some of the customers that had seen what had happened but had yet to leave, they got into Jack's Bentley Continental GT.

Although Sabrina had a car as well, it was only worth about four million. On the other hand, Jack's was worth seven million dollars.

Driving the Bentley, Jack headed towards Flyers bank. In about fifteen minutes, they arrived at the bank.

Unlike other businesses, the bank was quite isolated. It was like the bank building had its own space. The building was quite big and was a seven-storey one.

As Jack looked at the building, he couldn't help but wonder to himself, 'What's the use of this big building anyway. Not like they're storing all the deposited money here, right?'

He had opened his account in crystal city. The bank building there was even bigger than the one here. It was a ten-storey building. According to what he knew, the bulk of the deposited money was taken to the headquarters where security was higher.

Jack had decided on this bank when opening his account. The reason for this was simple, he knew that with the level of this bank, it wasn't something that the Alfonso family could put their hands in. After all, Flyers bank was a national level bank.

Its reputation was far too high for the Alfonso family to have an influence on it. In other words, no matter what Alfonso family did, they couldn't freeze his accounts like they could do if he had opened an account with smaller banks.

"Do you know why they used such a big building when they are a service industry?" Jack asked Sabrina as they headed into the bank building.

Sabrina stared at Jack for a for a moment before replying, "Most of it is to showcase their reputation as a big bank. After all, how could such a big bank have a branch that shares a floor with a smaller company?"

Jack nodded in understanding. After all, he wouldn't allow his enterprise to own a floor. No, he would buy a whole building. But, each department would have a floor of their own.

But compared to him who was going to venture into different industries, the Flyers bank was exaggerating too much. Why not get a three or maybe four-storey building?

Anyway, that wasn't going to affect the reason for his presence here. After getting inside the lobby area of the bank, he could see that the bank was already busy. It was already nine in the morning and the businesses had been opened already.

Looking at the long lines at the tellers' windows and the already filled up lobby area, Jack shook his head. These guys sure have business, he thought to himself.

Then, he led Sabrina towards the elevator. After pressing the button, he found that it wasn't opening. Then, he noticed that it was moving, so, he decided to wait.

Ding!

Not long after, the elevator door opened. Jack and Sabrina were ready to enter after the person inside came out.

But, as Jack stared inside the open elevator, his blue eyes met with a pair of green eyes. And then, it was as if time had frozen.

Jack was drawn into the familiar green eyes that he'd always been thinking or dreaming about. Now, as he stared into them, his heart skipped a beat for a moment.

As others got out of the elevator and others entered, Jack stayed rooted on the spot as he stared at the beauty. This was the lady that he'd met at the government building before. He could still remember the feeling of holding her in his hands, he could still remember the special scent that she emitted back then.

Jack wasn't the only one who had stopped all his actions to stare at the other. The girl was also staring at him. She wasn't moving at all.

….

Celine POV.

Today, we came to Flyers Bank to open a business account. I was going to help a friend of mine in setting up a business before she came back from abroad.

On this day, after we were done with the procedures, it was time to leave. With the business account being a VIP one, I was assured that there would be no delays in the business transactions.

After getting into the elevator, there were five other people inside. I looked at Faith, my personal secretary. She was a few years older than me and had been working before I entered into business. She had worked under my mother and had learnt a lot from her.

When I began managing some of our family businesses, my mother asked Faith to be my personal secretary so that she could assist me in the line of work as I tried putting into action all that I had learnt from my parents since being young.

"Faith, do you think that the business will succeed?" I asked. This was the first time that I was starting a business from scratch. Although I was using some of the family connections, but most of it depended on one's hard work.

"Don't worry about it young miss. Everything is okay. I've checked it all too well. The fashion and textiles industry has been doing quite well recently. Furthermore, we're starting one here in Inchoate City. So, it's a sure bet that there would be no competition here considering the family's strength and connections." Faith replied with a confident voice.

I felt assured. So, I took a deep breath to suppress the nervousness in my heart. Although I was domineering and cold in front of my subordinates, I knew that I was a girl after all. But, I had to put a tough front in front of my subordinates so that I could gain their respect.

Of course, our talk was in whispers. Looking at the number as the elevator descended, I prepared myself to get out of the elevator. We still had a lot of things to do as the business was just starting.

Ding! (Ground Floor!)

The elevator reached the ground floor as a robotic voice said the floor that we were on, which was the ground floor. As the doors moved to either side, I was about to step out of the elevator when my body froze.

My eyes had met with blue eyes. The same blue eyes as a few days ago. The ones that made my heart beat faster and make me lose my composure.

For some reason, I didn't move and could only stare at the blue eyes that stared back into mine with deep emotions.

From his eyes I could see curiosity, confusion, stubbornness and other emotions. I didn't know what to do in this situation as my mind was blank. Everything but these eyes faded away.

For some reason, these blue eyes were familiar. I'm sure that, other than in the government building, I've never met this unique and handsome man somewhere before.

Well, I wasn't sure if he was a man or a youth. From his appearance, he should be the same age as me.

Just as I continued staring into his eyes, I felt someone shaking me. When I came back to my senses and averted my gaze from his eyes, I looked at Faith who was staring at me with eyes full of worry and suspicion.

I could see that she was pointing towards the impatient people in the elevator. We were supposed to get off the elevator so, Faith had stopped the doors from closing. The elevator could only move after the doors were closed.

Since almost every person that came to Flyers bank was a busy person, they were getting impatient waiting.

Before I could speak, I was pulled out by Faith. By coincidence or not, as Faith was pulling me out of the elevator, I bumped onto him again.

Before I could fall, I felt his arm wrap around my waist. If it were another person, another man, holding my waist, I would have already lashed out. But, in his strong arms, all resistance was smashed away.

I couldn't react at all and all I could do was to stare into his deep blue eyes. I was just about to get drowned into those eyes when Faith pulled me, pulling me from his arms and out of my trance.

I shook my head as I was pulled by Faith who was looking at me worriedly. I couldn't help but glance at the closing elevator as we left.

After getting to the parking lot inside my pink Chevrolet Corvette, Faith looked at me and asked, "What's going on young miss?"

"I don't know. For some reason, that person, I don't know why I lose my composure in front of him," I replied sincerely.

Faith stared at me suspiciously. She asked, "Are you sure that you've never met him before? After all, this isn't the first time that you reacted in such a way. Last time we met, you stared into each other's eyes in a daze."

"Last time?" I asked subconsciously as I remembered what had happened on that day. We were going to the government building to get a license for the business that we were going to start.

I had gotten out of the meeting late on that day. So, I hurried to the office before they closed it. By coincidence or accident, we bumped into each other. If he hadn't held me, I would have fallen onto the ground.

Faith stared at me for a while. But, I didn't even notice that my mind had already wondered away. Feeling my body being shaken, I looked at Faith who was staring at me worriedly with tensed up brows. After all, this was the first time that I was acting in such a way.

"I could have given him a beating in there. It was just that, he didn't do it intentionally and he didn't speak too. Otherwise, I would have said that he was creating a scene to chase after you." Faith this with gritted teeth as she spoke like a big sister.

I could only chuckle as her expression looked funny to me. Of course, this side of me was only shown to her and my parents.

"Let's get going. We still have a lot to do." I said to Faith before driving the Chevrolet Corvette away.
