Jack decided to stay there and wait for all the procedures to be carried out. This was a government office. So, the procedures that would have required a long time could be completed faster than if he went to private companies. After all, there were some processes that required an official's approval.
Just like he had expected, the process only took slightly over an hour. During this hour, the only thing that Jack could do was to play with his phone. After all, he couldn't just stay idle for a whole hour.
During this time, he had sent a text message to ask George about the delivery. He had said that the cascadia freightliner had arrived at the store and he was currently on his way to delivering the grocery products that Jack had paid for.
Jack was now getting assure that in the evening today, he would get more than ten million in terms of income. The previous day, he had gotten a million. That was considering the fact that there were no vegetables which were the grocery's main specialty.
That, together with the seven that he was going to acquire at this time, there would be no issue in getting the ten million.
As he was still playing a game on his phone, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. Before long, the door of the office was opened before Zack stepped inside. Zack was the one that was attending to Jack.
"Is it done?" Jack asked.
"Yes Mr Jack. Everything is done. The only procedure that's required would be your signature." Zack replied as he handed to Jack seven different documents.
Jack received them. He found that they were the agreement of ownership. There were also ownership certificates of the shops that he had just purchased. He had already given his details and the bank account number. So, the income that would be received on this day forth would be transferred to his account.
After seeing that there was nothing wrong with the contracts, he immediately signed his name. Then, he gave his bank card. Zack immediately swiped the card and Jack entered the pin to complete the transaction.
Jack didn't blink when he was paying. The end price was a little lower than before as it seemed that the stock had reduced. The total cost was $5,580,000. This total was rounded up after a small 2% discount. Now, Jack's balance was $1,930,086.
He then got up, ready to leave as he had already finished what had brought him here.
"Mr Jack, if I may be presumptuous a little bit, may I ask if you're a member of Alfonso family of Crystal city," Zack asked when he saw that Jack was done.
Jack was surprised by this question. But after a moment, he understood why that question had been asked. After all, although he was no longer a member of Alfonso family, he couldn't change some details on his birth certificate, driving license nor in his ID. He could only continue using them as they were currently.
So, on his ID, Zack had seen that Jack's full name was Jack Alfonso. During the introduction, Jack only said that Zack could call him Jack and he didn't mention his surname. That was why Zack decided to call him Mr Jack, as a show of courtesy.
According to what he knew, Jack was supposed to be called Mr Alfonso. But, since Jack didn't seem to want to use the name, then Zack couldn't force it.
"Not really," Jack replied before exiting the office.
"Oh I see," Zack said, more to himself than Jack. Since Jack said that he wasn't a member of Alfonso family from Crystal city, then it might be another Alfonso family.
After getting out of the office, Jack wanted to visit the shops and see the changes that would need to happen. But upon seeing that it was already close to five in the evening, he decided that he would be visiting the stores the following morning.
After all, when it reached five in the evening, that would be the business peak hours. He wasn't ready to disturb the business at all. So, the only change that had occurred in these seven stores was the account number that would be receiving the income.
As for the contracts like the supply contract or purchase contract, they would need to negotiate once again. After all, the terms of the previously signed contract was according to the previous owners, so, he would have to state his own terms.
As he was thinking of these things, he failed to pay attention to where he was going to for a moment and ran into someone. It seemed that this person was in some kind of a hurry as she was rushing towards the office while almost jogging.
Just as she was going to fall, Jack stretched his hand and held her by her waist. Then, the gazes of the two met. It seemed that time had frozen at this moment.
'What a beautiful girl!' Jack thought to himself as he stared at the emerald green eyes that were staring at him in both confusion and surprise. The face with a thin layer of make-up of the girl in his hands was like a well carved sculpture.
Big eyes, long eyelashes, small nose, thin red lips, an oval chin, long black hair that was shining in from the reflection of the lightning in the building. In terms of beauty rating, she would be rated at 98. This was a great beauty.
pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ For some strange reason, Jack's heart that had never been moved began beating in a strange rhythm. There was a kind of special feeling that was attracting him to this girl. And for some reason, he didn't hate the feeling but strangely wanted to embrace it.
'What a handsome man!' The girl exclaimed in her mind. She was having something urgent to take care of in this government office. She was rushing in that she forgot that she wasn't the only person that could be moving in the building and ended up in a man's arms.
After a moment of confusion, she focused her gaze at his blue eyes that were staring at her with some kind of emotion that she couldn't read.
The handsome face, well curved cheekbones, sharp eyebrows, the determined and stubborn aura, the special silver hair, this made the man that was holding her look like a handsome work of art.
She was drowned in the eyes that were staring at her in that she forgot to get out of his hands. She could feel his strong hands wrapped around her waist. If this was another time, she would have definitely slapped him for touching her. But, this time, she was lost and had lost her composure.
And to make it worse, for the first time since she could remember, she was feeling shy. This was exactly against what she was during a normal situation or when facing other men.
"Ahem!" At this time, a gentle cough woke the two out of their daze. The two then separated from each other but their eyes still stared into the other's eyes.
Seeing that the two were still staring at each other, the lady that had just coughed spoke, "Madam, we're getting late."
"Oh?" Only then did the lady snap out of it as she threw Jack a last glance and left with her personal assistant.
Jack also got back to his senses at this times. He then stared as the lady left. Although there were two of them, for some reason, he could only see one.
As she left, in her female official business suit, her bold and confident steps gave the vibe of a boss lady. Jack stared at her till she disappeared from his vision.
It was only then that he came back to his thoughts of what he was supposed to do. As he walked out of the government building, he thought to himself, 'That's really strange. This strange feeling, I don't know why she gave me this somehow familiar feeling. But, I guess I can forget about it for now. If we meet in the future, I'll see what this is all about.'
He got Into his Bentayga and drove towards one of the grocery stores. He wanted to purchase some foodstuffs so that he could get food in the mansion. He was going to spend the night there after all.
In about ten minutes, he arrived in front of a grocery store. It was called Comest Grocers. It was far bigger than Alfix Grocery Store that Jack had bought the previous day.
Jack didn't come here for business. This, he entered the store alongside the customers that had began increasing in number as it was time for people to get back from home.
He picked rice, flour, eggs, sugar, salt, a kilogram of beef, garlic, pepper, tomatoes and other things.
The good thing about this store was the fact that it was like a mini supermarket that dealt with grocery products. There were shopping baskets that Jack used to carry all the things that he'd chosen.
He then went to the counter to make the payment. He could see that there were three counters where the payment could be done. This was truly a bigger scale as compared to Alfix, so, the income had to be higher.
When it was his turn, Jack immediately paid for his products. None of the workers here knew that he was the boss, so, they never gave him any special treatment. But overall, jack could see that the service quality here was good enough.
He paid via his card as he had no cash on him. It cost him $2,700. He had bought a good number of things here. They were packed in a bag. He was just about to leave the store when his phone rang.
