Agoeath sighed in annoyance, clearly it is written on her face, then slowly I saw her lifting her head up to me and she mouthed, "Thank you." And they left.

Saul's POV

It's February. I can't help glancing up and down. An enormous building was in front of me. The interior is so good that I wanted it to boast on any rich guys out there. I'm watching my big headquarters, and honestly, this is a headquarters and the main building of my business. In short, it is where they would all find me. Think of it as the center of the web.

I've gone through many companies with beautiful designs, but I can't help adore mine. The architect of this building is also the architect of the Hughes, his payment was so expensive, but it's all worth it.

The building outside face got a hue of black. If you look at it, it'll hurt your eyes because of the sun's reflection. The outside got a vast space where you can park your vehicles. I never bothered to have a parking lot at the base of the building. I wanted to see everything from up above. The HQ got one entrance which is where I am standing right now.

The money I got from Romano instantly turned into a garden full of different flowers. Well, I need to put up different colors. I can't just have it all black.

"Good morning, Sir Alvarez."

"Good morning, Sir."

This building is the MAIN. As much as possible, I want all of my employees to feel at home, and I want them the best of everything because I know they will also give me everything.

The top floor is all mine, and it is where I stay. The other is where my employee is working out. They are handling some of my businesses. The first floor is where another employee can have any job. Odd jobs, it's just a simple job, simple but deadly.

I heard from Tulio and Miguel that the Romano's got this mission or quest thingy. In short, I also have that, but the thing is, my mission/quest isn't about escorting or killing someone.

It's called Odd Jobs, not because it is an Odd Jobs, it's called Odd Jobs because it's what I wanted to call it.

Last year, I was talking about adding Odd Jobs, literal Odd Jobs, where you'll find a cat, where you'll be a plumber, carpenter, electrician, and whatever. Honestly, Odd Job is all about stealing stuff from rich people. I steal it and sell it while double pricing its price. That's how I became rich.

I walk through the Private Elevator, I ask for that. The elevator is for the bosses and high-class people. I can't just let them be on the elevator with my employees. You don't know how rich people's brains work.

I clicked the button with the topmost number. I was waiting for the Ting!, until for about 30 and above seconds I got out.

I took a step on the carpeted floor. To boast my carpet, it came from Persia, and it's all handmade. I bet all of the people who would step on it might feel sad. I paid lots for this. It was a red carpet with a lining of black and gold, all of the floors were carpeted and it leads directly to my office.

Pagkapasok ko palang nakita ko na agad sina Tulio at Miguel na tumitipa sa laptop na binigay ko sa kanila.

"Sir, it's time to check the newly built infirmary in Meeting Greed, tapos ay sa Crown Greed, pero kailangan po ba talaga na may infirmary doon?" Tanong ni Tulio.

"Oo nga po, Sir. The hotel is for leisure I doubt anyone having pain there." Miguel shrugged off his shoulders.

"It's for emergency," sagot ko sa kanila at umupo na sa desk ko.

My office design is just like the design of my office on my different business buildings. The difference is that all of my things here are expensive. One drop, and it'll cost your whole life working to pay for it.

"Oo nga pala, Sir. Natapos ko ng ilista lahat ng posibleng manakaw natin. Paki-check nalang din po, na e-mail ko na rin." Tulio.

I nodded at him. Despite being so young they knew how to handle business and such well, must be lucky they have a smart teacher, and that's me.

Napatingin ako sa relo ko na rolex at nabasa ko na alas dos na pala ng hapon.

"We have to go there, now," aniya ko sa dalawa, I was referring to the mall—Meeting Greed.

ILANG oras lang ay narating na namin ang mall, hindi pala umabot ng ilang oras nasa isang oras at kalahati lang. Malayo kasi ang mall sa HQ kaya natagalan kami.

Pagkalabas namin agad kaming pumasok, binati kami ng ilang mga guwardiya at bago paman kami makapasok kinapa muna nila kami. That was the rule I made, big boss or not they should be cup for security.

Pagkapasok ko agad ko nakita ang maraming tao. To boast, this mall is big enough but not bigger than MOA, it's like a mini version except the fact that this doesn't have an arena, but I'm planning to own one, just not now.

Agad kaming pumunta sa kino-construct na infirmary, nasa likod ito ng isang shop but it was a bit visible outside. Since it was still in construct, ang makikita mo palang ay mga kahoy at hallowblocks na nasa baba. It's almost done, maybe a few weeks anyone can use this.

All of the businesses that I own now consist of an infirmary, Hotel, Restaurant, Mall, and even my new baby Solomon. For your information, the Solomon hasn't sailed the seas after that incident. Cleaning the blood and the ship got me hassle. I made changes on the Vessel too. Once it was called "The Solomon" now it's called Solomon's Greed.

Now that we were done checking the upcoming infirmary I told Tulio and Miguel that I would take a walk in the mall.

Not really a walk, it was to check if everything is fine. I like the way everyone was working really hard. They have to, there employer didn't employ them just to have a chitty-chat here.

I am that greedy, halata naman siguro sa lahat ng pangalan ng business ko, greed is always there.

I got tired of walking and checking everything. I sat down and watched the kids playing at the center. It was a playground for them, lucky for them to have such a normal childhood, that's good. I don't want them to feel deprived of not experiencing the best. That's why I am working hard. Many families were relying on my business. I want all the kids not to feel the same way I felt when I was young.

And if ever I have kids, I would give them my everything. I will give them the love they deserve, everything, as in everything the world could offer them. But I doubt that I'm now thirty and no woman would like me, for money, yes.

I badly want to have kids. What's the point of having so much money when you don't have someone to spend it on? When I passed the age of thirty-three and still no kid, I would probably hire some surrogate mother.

But they won't have a mother.

Thinking of it, they will only have me. I want them to have a complete family, a mother, and a father.

But I guess despite everything that I have thought, I'll leave it to the void.

I was spacing out, all of a sudden, at the corner of my eye I saw a commotion. People were being so nosy, so was I. The ruckus was in front of a Famous Fast Food Chain here in the country.

When I got near the ruckus I heard a loud voice, probably a woman nagging at someone. When I got to see the whole situation, I saw a woman in a sexy dress reprimanding, no, more likely embarrassing the other woman who was on the ground.

Nang napatingin ako sa babae alam ko na agad kung sino 'yon. Sa tindig at buhok palang alam ko na. Ilang linggo at araw rin kaming hindi nagkita, not that it's important for me to see her, it's just that everywhere I go she's always there. Not my fault that I got used to her having around me wherever I go, whether it's not a coincidence.

Then I instantly rushed towards the scene when I saw her eyes turn crimson red. I knew what would happen next if I didn't stop her, she'll have the urge to kill her.

That's what I have concluded every time we face off each other, she has this urge to kill me, and every time she'll have that urge, her eyes start to change from black to red.
