Chapter 48: Katrina's shock.
"Very well. This is my silver card. It has a limit of 30K€ every day. I've used up today's limit so you can withdraw from it tomorrow. Take 120K€ from this card. Meet me after 4 days. I'll have the rest of the amount ready," Jack said confidently.
Jack's one day's income was 140K€ and in 4 days, which was actually five days later because today they are not withdrawing the money.
In five days, Jack's estimated income will be 700,000€, and he needs to pay 500,000€ to the Luxaviation. He is confident that he can make this payment.
"Sir, you're not taking any discounts?" Agent asked confusedly; he thought Jack would take a huge discount.
" Oh? You want to give me a discount?" Jack asked; he was amused and let out a chuckle.
"Sorry, sir." The agent was unsure of how to respond to Jack. He initially believed that his company chairman exuded an ethereal aura, but after observing Jack, he became certain that his company chairman was insignificant.
Jack dismissed the agent with a wave of his hand and began to read the newspaper, something he rarely does, but he felt compelled to do so while sitting in an office.
' Filipino language newspaper, tsk.' Jack slammed the newspaper down.
Outside Jack's room, as soon as the agent and the security captain came out, they saw the beautiful girl who greeted them first when they entered the suite.
" Ah! Your work with the prince is finished?. Katrina asked.
Both the agent and the security captain got shocked'.'Prince? No wonder '
They nodded their heads, confident that they had met a prince today. Without even asking another question, they simply left.
Katrina closed the suite's door after they left. This was Katrina's first time doing a butler's job; she was actually against it because, how can she be with a male inside a suite? But after seeing Jack, she begged the manager to put her on duty.
The manager, also seeking an opportunity to make this gorgeous woman earn her keep, agreed almost immediately.
Katrina went inside the office room; the suite has many rooms. It was a 3500 square foot suite, the same size as Jack's apartment.
Seeing Jack engrossed in a newspaper, she went to the kitchen to prepare some food, and after some time she heard the calling bell ring.
Gazing through the door camera, she recognized her manager. After brushing off the invisible dust from her face, she smiled and opened the door.
"Hello, Manager." Katrina's pleasing smile didn't phase the manager.
The manager was a middle-aged man, a little tanned but properly dressed.
He entered the suite, and Katrina followed him, then he sat on the living room couch.
"Where is the prince?" The manager's voice, calm and authoritative, asked the question.
"He's in the office room," Katrina replied.
" Oh! So he's in the office room." The manager nodded his head. Then his whole body shook. He stood up and went to the door and waited by the door.
" You!!! You're going to kill me someday. You've got to say the guest is in the room. I thought he wasn't in the room and looked around to see if there's any dust." Manager angrily said he didn't raise his voice but talked in a hush tone. After taking a deep breath, he calmed down.
"Alright, tell the prince, I am here," the manager said to the cheerful Katrina. Then the manager walked to the door.
Katrina smiled, then showing her little tongue, she ran to the office room where Jack was seated.
Knocking on the door, after getting permission from Jack, she entered. Although she didn't have the courage to look into Jack's eye, she didn't make it awkward either.
"The manager is here to see you; do you want him to come here?" Katrina asked.
"Yes,, Manager, no, let him sit in the living room," Jack said.
Then Jack got up and walked to the living room. Seeing the manager standing near the door, waiting for his permission to enter, Jack gestured for him to enter the living room.
Yesterday, the manager was taken aback by Jack's mere presence; upon seeing him in person, he took a deep breath and approached Jack.
Jack sat on the couch; the manager came near Jack and didn't sit down.
Katrina was also standing behind him; although she was very bubbly in front of Jack, she didn't show her usual cheerfulness in front of the manager.
Jack gestured for the manager to sit down.
" Sir, Thank you for choosing our hotel. I hope you're enjoying your stay," the manager smiled.
"Yes, I was going to call you; I need something from you." Jack went forward a little on the couch.
"Anything for you, sir." The manager was more than happy to help.
"I need a parking lot," Jack said. He wanted to see the car he had purchased earlier.
"We've got a ton of them." The manager smiled and bragged.
"I need one for an hour. That parking lot has to be a little special." Jack was mysterious about it.
" Oh? Tell me more, sir." The manager, an expert in handling bigshots, understood that there must be a catch; if a man of Jack's caliber is speaking, he must first listen.
"So, I need a parking lot with no eyes," Jack said, then smiled at the manager.
The manager immediately understood what Jack meant. Manager smiled then said, "Without CCTV cameras, alright, I've got something like this but not in this hotel."
"Where is it?"" Jack asked.
"It's in my home, which is actually a 5-minute drive from here; this hotel is fully secured with cameras." The manager was proud of his hotel.
"Okay, can you give me your parking lot for one hour?" Jack inquired. Jack asked.
"Well, yes, sir. The manager smiled and said, "My wife and children wanted to eat in a restaurant recently, and tomorrow I've promised them to take out for lunch."
You can have that tomorrow—I'll be out for 4-5 hours and there's no camera in the compound." The manager smiled cheerfully as if he were happy to help.
"Very good, but I don't know where you live," Jack said while gesturing Katrina to come near him.
"Your butler knows the address, sir. Do you want to change your butler? Lile with a more professional one?" Manager suddenly asked while looking at Katrina.
Katrina, who was walking towards Jack, halted for a second and looked at Jack. She was expecting Jack to say no, but looking at her performance, she sighed, 'Prince is going to get a new butler.'
"No, what are you saying? She's a talented butler. Come here." Jack gestured for Katrina to come closer as she had halted her steps.
Katrina came closer to Jack. Jack gestured for her to come closer. Katrina blushed but came closer.
"You took the small briefcase containing money last night, correct?" Where is it?" Jack asked.
"It's in the small safe; the password is my name." Katrina nodded her head innocently.
"Alright, go bring about 30K pesos from there," Jack said, almost whispering to avoid awkwardness.
"Manager, what car will take me there?" Jack asked the manager, while Katrina went running towards Jack's room, where a small safe was.
"Of course, our chauffeur service is one of the top class; the car we've provided you with is the Toyota Century 2025," the manager said proudly.
"Taylor?"" Jack looked at the manager with scrutiny.
" Oh! Ahaha, you're European; that's why maybe you don't know, but this car is an Asian masterpiece; I guarantee you'll like it. If you're not satisfied, we'll arrange for a replacement." The manager laughed.
Katrina came back with thirty thousand pesos and handed them to Jack.
Jack took the money and gave it to the manager, who was shocked to see the stack of money.
At first, the manager didn't want to take the money, but after Jack's smile and using his aura a little, the manager didn't get the courage to say no.
"Sir, what should I do with this much money?" The manager asked while seating with the huge stack of money.
"Well, it's for you to enjoy your meal with your wife and children tomorrow. Have a wonderful lunch " Jack said while smiling, then waved his hand.
Manager bowed and left the suite before leaving; he glanced at Katrina.
Katrina was not focusing on the manager at all; her whole focus was on Jack. He gives away more than what she earns in a month.
"So, what's the plan for today?" Jack asked, and as he relaxed on the couch, he felt a little sleepy.
"My prince, we can go for a ride? Or if you think you want to dive into the swimming pool and relax there," Katrina suggested.
"No, let's go. I need some clothes that are bigger." Jack stood up and went towards the door.
Katrina naturally followed him; she was hopping around behind Jack.
Jack paused and gave her a strange look. Katrina also stopped; she got used to Jack's presence; she doesn't feel intimidated anymore.
"Well, do you use a purse or something?" Jack asked, seeing her hopping around like a child was a treat to his eyes.
"Yes, I use a handbag; why?" Katrina asked.
"Well, take 500 pesos in your handbag, then call the chauffeur." Jack came back and sat down on the couch.
He browsed his phone in the meantime. While browsing Instagram, he came across Yana's profile. She had uploaded a picture of herself in front of the Chinese airport, and she looked stunning.
Jack didn't comment and checked his followers; he remembered last time he had around 70K. Katrina, after taking the money and informing the receptionist about Jack's plan, came to the living room.
She wanted to surprise Jack from behind, but seeing him intently browsing the phone, she looked at the display from behind, and seeing his photo and 169K followers, she was shocked.
