But thanks to Portia, I could start my life all over. I could chase the dreams I had abandoned for my family's sake. Many times, they talked me lut of investing in real estates because we 'needed' the money.
This time, I wouldn't allow them to take this from me. I headed for a real estate company with the money Portia gave me.
Once I entered, the receptionist stared at me with a nasty look. “The lost and insane is in the opposite direction."
"I want to buy a villa."
She laughed, "Look around. Do you see anyone who looks like you?”
Everyone there was dressed in fancy clothes and jewelleries.
“No, but—”
“Exactly. Go away.”
I shook my head. “I would like to see your manager.”
“My manager does not want to see you.”
I knew there was no way I could reach the manager from here.
So, I settled for racing towards the elevator.
“Security!” She called.
I got into the elevator before they did. Once I got in, I got off at the second floor and continued on foot because I knew they would be waiting at the top for me to get off the elevator.
I pushed open the door to the manager's office and walked in.
”Do you have an appointment?” His secretary asked.
