Barely hours into his first day in the business district; and Derek had already experienced two polar ends of what it means to be working there. He knew, after stepping out of the BDT mall, that he has long road ahead of him.Ding!A message notification interrupted Derek's thoughts. He retrieved his phone from his pocket and read the message.'Young Quinton, I've sent you a pin location of the Quinton Tower. I've also forwarded Amanda's contact to you. Contact her when you arrive. See you later. Owen.''Well...tour time in the HNW zone is over...for today anyway. Time to get down to business.' thought Derek. Before heading over to Quinton Tower, Derek stopped by a nearby food truck to order a steak sandwich for lunch. He wasn't going to waste time dining in a fancy restaurant even though he could. Not this day anyway; he didn't want to be late on his first day.Derek then hailed a cab to go to Quinton Tower. Traffic was surprisingly a breeze despite peak traffic during lunch hours.

Amanda escorted Derek to a private elevator in the Quinton Tower. It was easy to tell that it was a private elevator because there were only a few buttons that connect to the top floors of the building. Once inside the elevator, Derek asked, "So, which level is my new office located?" "The top floor, boss. You'll love the office. I promise you that." replied Amanda confidently, with a wide smile on her face. "Wow. You sound very confident. That's a good trait to have. I look forward to your work." "Thank you boss. I'm really excited to work for you." Amanda replied. Ding! "We're here boss. Welcome to your new office." Amanda ushered Derek in. At first sight, Derek was blown away when he stepped in. The office space itself was the similar to a small startup, full of top of the line furniture, lighting and amenities. "Allow me to show you around, boss." offered Amanda. "Yes, please. Hey, are you sure this is my office? This looks more like a small yet luxurious condo apartment!

It's been two weeks since Derek started his life as Derek Quinton, heir apparent to the Quinton Consortium. During that time, Derek kept his promise to his parents Peter and Lea Quinton and studied the companies he took over that are part of the Quinton Consortium. In that time, Owen Beck made sure Derek's identity is kept secret. Everyday, Derek will disguise himself and not to further draw too much attention, requested Hector to chauffeur him in his family's Mercedes G-class. This type of car is rather common in the Townsville business district and would not arouse any suspicion. Derek would also lunch in to keep studying his companies. Amanda Walsh, Derek's secretary, did her part, taking time and effort to update Derek and keep him up to speed with his companies' events and statuses.These companies deal in various industries, including real estate, media, finance, hotels and resorts.Derek and Amanda were having a discussion on real estate when they heard a knock on the door.

After Peter and Lea Quinton, along with Owen left Derek's office, Derek and Amanda went back to their discussion. "Ok Amanda, we've set the time frame for these three projects. How do you suggest we get started?" "Well boss, we will need to do things simultaneously. For the resort and and BDT mall, our legal team is in the final stages to purchase the land and mall. Meanwhile, we need to launch projects of our own to the public to bid on." replied Amanda."For example?" "Interior designs for the mall and resort, suppliers for the construction, new tenants for to open their businesses etc." "Well our legal team should get the acquisitions done by the end of the week. Get our public relations team to start with announcing we are open to bids for design proposals, both interior and exterior. Get the managers of our construction, real estate and interior design companies involved as well. They need to see who's worth working with and who we can just ignore." "Sounds good, boss. May I

It's the weekend in the city of Townsville. Madison woke up feeling different than usual. She was not the same old Madison from before; low self-esteem, dreading life. Madison looked confident and determined, as though she had a new lease of life. Overnight she found a new purpose. She convinced herself in her mind, 'Today is the birth of the new Madison Smith. I will make my mark in the Smith household. I may not know how. I don't care how. Whether I do this alone, or I have help, I will be at the top of DreamSmith and the whole Smith family will either apologize for their past actions or fall by the wayside.' Madison proceeded to take a hot shower and change into a hot red halter top with denim skinny jeans. In all reality, Madison had a sexy hourglass figure that can make most girls her age go green with envy; but because of the constant teasing and bullying from her sisters, she gradually lost confidence in herself and how she looked. Today was different. With a reaffirmed min

"Derek! Brother Derek! Over here!" "That voice." mumbled Derek. "Sounds familiar." Derek and Amanda turned their attention to the direction where the voice came from. Derek's eyes widened upon seeing who called him. "Oh my goodness! Madison! Hi!" greeted Derek. Amanda waved courteously to Madison, then turned to Derek and whispered, "Boss, who is this woman? Do you know her?" Derek whispered back, "That's Madison, my cousin from when I was adopted to the Smith family. She does not know my true identity yet." "What should we do, boss?" asked Amanda. "Follow my lead. I got this." replied Derek. After collecting their coffees, Derek and Amanda approached Madison and joined her at the corner table where she was seated. "Madison! It's been awhile, How have you been? You look really good today." greeted Derek. "Thanks brother Derek. I'm really glad to see you again. I have been worried about you since that day." replied Madison. She was tactful enough not to bring up the day her a

After bidding their farewells to Madison, and tipping Steph, the counter staff from Starb*cks, Derek and Amanda, left the cafe and made their way back to Derek's office at Quinton Tower. They decided to take an alternate route back to Quinton Tower to ensure Madison does not see them. It is clear that Derek does not want to reveal his true identity to Madison. Not yet anyway. "That was a surprise, meeting my cousin Madison here in the HNW zone. To my memory, she has never entered this zone." exclaimed Derek. "Hey boss, how does everyone in the Smith family dress? As a woman myself, I must say she looks really classy." Amanda became curious. "You know something....that's the best looking version of Madison I've ever seen. She never dolls up like that. The rest of the family do dress very professionally; but that's because they are outside meeting clients all the time. Madison never dresses up because she was always kept in the office." replied Derek. "Wait a minute....Amanda....are

"WHAT?"Madison's eyes widened with shock. 'A thousand dollar tip? How is this possible?' thought Madison. "It's true." Steph replied. "In fact, before he left the cafe this morning, he gave me another thousand dollar tip. Oh, and he used his black credit card to tip me. Can you believe that? I've never see a black card before until his first visit to the cafe." Madison could feel her head spinning as she tried to digest the bombshell revelation Steph has dropped on her.Her reaction was understandable. Up until her brother was kicked out of the house, Madison always remembered her brother being very frugal and barely had any savings to his name.How was he able to go from broke and virtually disowned to twice giving thousand dollar tip in a matter of weeks?Things clearly did not make sense to Madison whatsoever; but she didn't want to show her confusion to Steph."You and your cousin must come from a really wealthy family. Still it's nice to know that there are nice, rich people

In the Smith household, everyone was having dinner in the dining room. Everyone except Madison. The atmosphere was rather gloomy and tensions were so thick it can be cut with a knife. "So, how is the progress for the Quinton Consortium projects?" asked Madam Louise. "I'm halfway done with my designs, Grandma." replied Charles. "Halfway done? Haha yeah right. I peeked at your work. It doesn't look a quarter done." mocked Mason. "Speak for yourself idiot. You are not even halfway done yourself." Charles retorted. "Enough you two." ordered Madam Louise. "How about you Chloe and Juri?" "Grandma, I'm nearly done with my designs. I should be able to finish them by tomorrow." replied Chloe. "Same here for me Grandma. I may take a bit longer to put the finishing touches." replied Juri. "That's nice to hear. Now listen carefully. I want all your final drafts ready by Monday. They should be on my office table first thing in the morning. I will go through all of them before giving my app

The sun was barely up and shining through the windows of the Quinton Mansion on a Sunday morning. Derek was already awake, doing his morning stretching exercise. Ever since living in the Quinton Mansion, Derek developed a early morning routine of morning stretching and static exercise. At least three times a week, Derek would do a morning run around the Quinton Mansion. He was in the midst of doing his static exercises when he heard a knock on his room door. Not wanting to be rude, Derek paused his routine and went to answer it. "Morning, Young Master Derek." It was Sandra, the housemaid. "Good morning, Sandra. How may I help you?" greeted Derek. Derek did not realise that he when he answered his room door, he was half naked and Sandra had a full view of his upper body chiselled arms, chest, six-pack washboard abs and all. Sandra gasped and blushed slightly before informing Derek her reason for knocking at his door. "Erm...Master and Madam Quinton wanted me to inform you that y
