Chapter 67
Oirana hotel.
It was a 30-minute drive from Milestonz village. Jack got alighted from the bike and headed to the gate. He knocked three times and the security guard came out after opening the smaller section of the gate.
“Hello, sir. How may I help you?” the security courteously asked.
He wasn’t blind. This man before him was worth a lot. This was a giant. The famous Jack Oliver Reynolds!
Deep inside, he was excited to meet him face to face. He could boast among his peers now. Haha!
“Is my grandpa here?”
“Please, sir, what is his name?”
“Out of my way.” Jack pushed him aside and stormed in.
The guard looked at him, dumbfounded.
“How rude!” he thought. But then, what could he do about it? Cry out to the public about the injustice? Would his outcry even get to the public? Sigh.
He arranged his tie, locked the gate and sat on the chair that was at the front of the security building.
Inside the hotel premises.
The receptionist tried to stop Jack but got cautioned by a staff member.
“Are you an idiot, Caroline? That’s the zillionaire, Jack Oliver Reynolds. If you offend him, this hotel will be closed down. Where then can you find work as good as this one? Think about it.”
“Thank you for the advice, Maria. I won’t be so impulsive next time.” Caroline bowed to her fellow slightly before returning to her duty.
Jack kicked open the door of a certain VIP room and saw his grandpa drinking wine with 2 milfs. Both were dressed provocatively, with long eyelashes and ample female assets. Their shoes were 10 inches and their natural fingernails were long.
“Grandpa?” he called out in disbelief.
“Oho! Grandson. My beloved Jackie. Come, come, come inside. Don’t feel like a stranger. Come, give grandpa a big hug.” the older man who donned a blue hat, golden thobe and navy blue sandals said with excitement.
Jack frowned.
“So I rushed over here just to see this?” he looked pissed now.
“Laila, Theresa, go calm him down for me. I’m scared he’ll beat me to a pulp.” grandpa Reynolds said to the two milfs sitting beside him.
Both got up and cat walked towards Jack.
One went behind and gently pushed him inside the room.
His grandpa took out a small red bluetooth speaker and played an unfamiliar instrumental recording.
The milfs started to dance around him.
The one with red hair sang:
♫ Baby Jackie, you don’t need to be this angry. Take a look at Zaddy. He is begging for a hug.
Have some sense of filial piety, will you? Or one day when it finally comes to your mind, Zaddy’ll be beyond your reach. Little Jackie, you Zaddy’s favorite honey…♫
Jack’s face became green while his grandpa enjoyed the show, even recording it on his tablet.
He tried to get closer to him, but the ladies prevented him. He turned around to leave, but the red-haired lady pushed him back in with a creepy smile and continued singing.
“Leopard says it’s repentant but will never trade its spots. Zaddy cried to see you but you only came coz you heard he’s on his deathbed…”
Grandpa applauded after putting down the tablet.
“Good job, Laila, Theresa.” he praised and they giggled.
“Anything for you, Zaddy!” said the redhead.
“You’ll receive the alert soon. Make sure to buy something nice with it.” grandpa resumed drinking wine.
“Thank you, Zaddy!”
“Call us again, Zaddy!” they squealed and left the room. Now it was just two of them left.
Jack walked to his grandpa and sat opposite him.
“I heard you were dying, but what do I see?”
“Come on, Jackie! Your old man can’t die when he hasn’t seen his boy get a wife and 300 kids.”
Jack scoffed. “300 kids? How many sperms do I have? I don’t think it’s enough to father even one child.”
“How can you curse your self as impotent, grandson?” the old man put down his wine and adjusted his meditated glasses.
“Have some wine…”
“Grandpa, you know how busy I am. I rushed here only to see that you played a prank on me…”
“Boy, family is more important than money. Besides, why didn’t you come with Lisa?”
“Why should I bring her to see a dying man? She’s too young for that.”
“Boy, look.” grandpa cleared his throat. “Look at me. I’m wasting away but I’m prolonging my time coz I want to see you marry and have kids.”
“But I can’t father 300.”
“Okay. One great-grandchild will do.”
“I already have Lisa. She’s your grandkid.”
“Look. At least, get a mum for Lisa.” he got up and headed to a corner of the room. He picked up a book from the cupboard and brought it to Jack.
“What’s this for?” Jack asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Open it.”
Jack sighed and opened the first page.
What he saw made him frown.
There was a picture of a beautiful lady and her background written under it. He went through the other pages and it was the same- pictures of refined, pretty ladies from elite families all around the country.
“My boy, what do you think? Do you find any of them to your liking?” grandpa asked with a smile.
“They are uglier than that monkfish,” he mumbled.
“Monkfish! Who’s a monkfish?” grandpa turned gossipy.
“None of your business!” he put down the book and rose.
“Grandpa, please don’t do this next time. Well, I’m glad you’re okay. I’ll take my leave.” he bowed slightly before leaving.
“Jackie? Jackie, wait! Don’t go yet. Jackie?” the old man ran after him but couldn’t catch up. He suddenly tripped and fell to the ground.
Jack turned his head to see his grandpa bleeding from his mouth. His angry expression became that of concern.
“Grandpa, grandpa!” he ran to him.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Grandpa seemed to be unconscious.
“Someone, come!” he yelled and a staff member ran over.
“Call an ambulance!” Jack ordered.
“Sir, you see… I have no credit and I’ve already reached my limit for a call loan. I’m sorry…”
“Are you dumb? Here, take this.” he gave the staff his phone.
At this moment, Jack saw his grandpa’s eyelids tremble.
“Thank…” the staff couldn’t complete his words as the phone fell to the floor.
“Ah… I’m so sorry sir.” he bent over to pick up the phone and saw that its screen was broken.
Jack took out a phone from his grandpa’s pocket.
“Break this one too.”
“Eh?” the staff member who was about to grovel was stupefied.
“Do it or not?”
“I’ll do it. I’ll do it.” he shakily accepted the old man’s phone.
When he was about to dash it to the floor, the old man’s eyes opened.
He quickly sat up, looking annoyed.
“Gimme my phone. What nonsense! How can you ruin my phone, Jackie? That’s not nice!” he complained as he snatched the phone from the hotel staff’s hands.
“Pfft!” Jackie looked amused.
“What?”
“You seem to have forgotten your wig, old man.”
“Eh?” grandpa took his left hand to touch his head. It was bald.
He saw the wig in Jack’s hands.
“It’s high time, you live by your age. I’ll get a wife if you agree not to wear a wig anymore. You look more charming this way.”
Grandpa gritted his teeth.
“Agree or not?”
“I agree, but you must introduce the monkfish properly in two months, alright? If she’s to my liking…”
“She’ll definitely be one you’ll rate 100 stars,” Jack said haughtily.
“Hmph! Better hurry up.” grandpa rose with the staff’s help. “Take Lisa with you when you come back, alright?” he reminded as Jack rose.
“Of course, old man!”
“Hmph! Gimme back my wig. It cost a fortune.”
“Don’t worry. It’s very safe with me. You’ll get it back in two months.” Jack chuckled, put the wig in his right pocket and turned to leave.
” Unfilial grandson. I’m gonna get back at you in some way. Just you wait. I won’t let this slide, kiddo!”
“Make sure to try get back at me, old man.” Jack laughed, waving as he walked away.
“Don’t forget to pay for my phone, young man. I need the money in my account tomorrow. I’m broke right now. Can’t afford any losses.” he added.
The hotel staff trembled.
“Sir… even if I’m sold off with my family, I can’t afford that amount. Even if I work and save my salary for 4 years, I still can’t pay. Sir… I acted on your orders…”
“Shut up. It’s just some cash. He’s that petty from childhood. Take me to the other room I booked.”grandpa ordered.
“Yes, sir.” the staff helped him to another room that was 3 times bigger and more conducive than the first.
“Get me those hotties. Zaddy misses them.” he commanded. “And here’s your reward.” he gave the staff a card. “There’s not much in it. Pin’s 4 zeroes.”
The staff grovelled and sincerely thanked grandpa before leaving.
“Hehe! I can’t wait to see the beauty that caught this stony heart. Lisa, you’re in luck.” he giggled and poured wine into a refined wineglass.
“I can’t wait for two months to end.” he reclined his back to the chair and watched the news.
