Alex-is Too { Chapter 1.2 }

{Chapter 1.2}

"Humble Rich Man"

September 8, 2022. A morning greeted with a loud alarm clock that is set to go off by 4 in the morning. Lazily, a hand reached out for the alarm and turned it off. Slowly he got up. His head still half-asleep, groggily sat up and stroke back his messy hair.

Taking the brush from the well organized table and starts brushing his hair to untangle the strands.

Using his right hand, he went to bathroom and uses his free hand to brush his teeth as he keeps brushing his teeth. Multitasking. After a few minutes he finishes off with a rinse then tied his well brushed hair in a bun.

Washing his face with water without soap or any products. Surprisingly his face is very smooth and has no pimples even though that's all he used—water.

-Ring-Ring-

-Picks up-

"Hello? Good morning, this is Alex speaking. Who is this?" He asks as he browses his closet—picking what should he wear today.

-"Hello! It's been a while Alex. It's me Philip."

"Oh, What's up? You have class to teach today. First day, yes?..."

-"Yeah yeah, So, I was wondering if you can come here at the University. Remember when you said, you wanted to give small funding to other charities? The University raise money for charity or donations, so the old people in the Centers have their payment lessen when they are taking check-ups in the hospitals or clinics... something like that. You down?"

"Yeah I'm down, I'll go withdraw money in my bank. I'm going to give cash,, so the transaction will be easy when they use it to buy equipments."

-"Oh That's great. Good work Alex."

"Yeah sure. I'll see you there in a while."

After the not-so-long phone call, Alex made his way to the bathroom and takes his new clothes. It only took several minutes after he got out of the shower. His casual poet-shirt-blouse paired with baggy pants, dark high boots and a coat on his arm. He takes his keys and went out.

Going down the stairs from the 5th floor—a good exercise for the morning. Almost forgot about breakfast he will stop by later, he thought. Out of the building he walked to a nearby parking lot and went underground where his vehicle is.

After a while he looked around remembering where he parks it. Clicking a button on his keys the car responded. He took off the cover and folded it. He unlocks the door and takes the driver seat. Placing the cover under the passenger seat—his coat folded neatly as he placed it on the other seat and starts the car.

It's rare to see a Bugatti in Europe especially they don't have similar designs as the U. S. He drove off and of course not breaking the speed limit. These types of cars have speed limit here in Europe.

Alex stopped by the bank and just realized how much will he withdraw from the bank account and which bank account. He then sighs as he made his way to the counter.

"Good morning, Sir. How may I help you?" The lady greeted, already noticing he is troubled.

"Uhh.... mhmn… Never mind, Can you prepare me 3 Blank checks?" He said as he gave a sigh afterwards. The employee then stood up and calls for the manager, so the superior can manage it better.

After half an hour the 3 Blank Checks were prepared and was handed carefully to him. Once received he made his way out and drove off to the University. In a minute ride he stopped in a red light as he looked to his side seeing a bus and a passenger that seem to be a little excited. Trying to see the whole car, top to wheels.

He found it amusing and unknowingly tugged a smile on his lips. The light turns green and there he drove off first and hurriedly went to the University.

The University luckily have a parking lot. He parked at the last corner where it attracts fewer people. he takes the cover and placed it over his car. Then he went to the Office where Philip is waiting for him. He came across a sign that says; "Do not Disturb, Meeting on going". So he sat on the bench outside the office where he found a child sitting next to him.

"Hello... You look like Princess Bubblegum...."

"Am I?..."

"... Woah! You're a boy!? You're so pretty!"

"Thanks, You're pretty too. Who are you? Princess Anna?"

"Yes. I'm so PRETTY!!"

A small laugh was let out as he watches the young girl with lots of confidence to say that. Well it's like the young one is not. It's just the enthusiasm is palpable. She fiddles on her colored paper as she made a paper crown. Placing it on top of Alex's head. He bended down a little so she can place it.

"There. Now You're a proper princess!.."

"Yes. Thank you."

The mother came by and take her home. She apologizes and thanked him in the same time. The young one says his goodbye and call him a princess again out loud in the hall. Which made Philip goes out of the Office.

"Oh! You're here! Come in!"

Philip invited as he made his way inside and takes a seat. The Chairman another administrator gave him a greeting and so did he. He immediately cut to the chase because of practice. Alex places down a 1 Blank check on the table and gave it to them. Philip was surprised and so did the others.

"I don't know how much to withdraw. So I thought it's up to you. But make sure you use it in good use. Because I can take it back if I want to. You can write it down but only below 20 million."

The room was stunned. Not a single strand of hair dares to move. Philip cuts the silence as it is too awkward already.

"Uhm. Alex. Isn't... that too much?.."

"Is it?... I don't know. It's not that much money, but I guess It's still a lot."

Philip just gave up and sighs. Being rich is hard especially when you're already rich when you were born. The Chairman discussed it thoroughly with the other administrator. They Turned out 10 Million and that's all they can go. They are not greedy, they just need help for the funds in their project for the old people in the Center.

Philip was already in his class for a while now since the discussion about the money. Furthermore, he overheard about Philip going on a Meeting with the Chairman and distribution of Materials.

He sat up and left the office the admins Thanked him again as he goes. He asked around where Philip is, and so he found him on a classroom. Not only that, but he could hear his friend's voice.

Alex knocked on the door and was told to come in. Twisting the knob and enters the room but just by the door. Since his friend is at his class he reflexively called him with 'sir'.

"Sir Philip, the chairman said there will be a meeting after your time here. Also, he will be handing out the materials."

"Oh, alright. We are just few today. I'll be there early in a bit."

He nods and closed the door he then went out and goes to the parking lot. Uncovering his car and placed the cover to the trunk. Then he made his way inside the vehicle and drove off. His business here is done. Driving home but before all that. Of course, he needs breakfast! He haven't eaten yet. He went to a hotel, so he can park his car. Letting the employee drive it, and he went inside the place and went to have breakfast.

"Finally. I need this so bad." He muttered under his breath and made a check-in and went to dine.
