Chapter 65 Spending Time With Alex

Chapter 65 Spending Time With Alex

The next morning, after he was done with his morning duties, Silas came down to the living room with his laptop.

One of the reasons why Silas came back home is to discuss his business plan with Kim and have her take charge of the company.

He took his seat and switched on the laptop, and waited for it to load. After that was done, he opened the website that was created for ELLA.

With everything set and ready, all that remains is for Kim to have a look at it. Silas was still waiting for Kim to wake up and come downstairs when his phone started ringing.

He picked up the phone and checked the caller ID, President Odetta.

Silas was a bit surprised when he saw the name on the caller ID. He has been expecting her to call him in regards to replacing the lab equipments he 'decomissioned' while he was creating the quantum computer.

"Hello President Odetta," Silas said, as he picked the call.

"Hello Mr Silas. I'm calling you in regards to the replacement of the damaged equipments. After the assessments was done, we found the cost for replacing the equipments estimated to be $13 million," President Odetta said, immediately stating her reason for calling.

Silas was not surprised when he heard the amount that will be needed to replace the damaged equipments.

He was actually disappointed. He had expected it to cost more than that.

The reason why Silas was expecting the cost to be higher? Lottery tickets!

The higher the expenses, the more lottery tickets he gets, and more lottery tickets means more free system points and more chances at getting item's free passes.

"Okay, President Odetta, the money will be sent to you immediately."

"Ok, Mr Silas. Thank you. I will be expecting the payment. Also, Mr Silas, two months have gone by and you're yet to choose your courses. You do remember our agreement, right?"

Hearing what President Odetta said, Silas was reminded of something that he has completely forgotten about; choosing his preferred courses.

"Yes, I remember the agreement we had. I will be in the institution next week to do that." Silas replied.

Hearing this, President Odetta remained silent for a while before hanging up.

After President Odetta hung up, Silas saw that he was no longer alone in the living room. He saw Kim standing at a distance looking at him with a curious and questioning look on her face.

"Hi Kim, Good morning," Silas greeted her.

"Good morning Silas," Kim replied and took her seat on a sofa opposite Silas'.

"You working?," She asked when she saw the laptop in front of him.

"No, I actually wanted to show you something. It's related to what we talked about before," Silas replied, and turned the screen of the laptop that already has the loaded webpage of ELLA, to her.

Kim saw this and brought the laptop closer to herself, and started going through the website curiously.

She remembered the conversation she had with Silas on the phone, about him wanting to start a business.

She wasn't sure if he was being serious about it but as she went through the website, from what she saw, she understood that he was very serious about it and he was prepared.

Still, she was curious. He said that he already has a capital of $1 billion and a thirty storey office building ready.

The question is where did he get such huge amount of money from? Also, who's this President Odetta he was talking to on the phone? How did his appearance change in so much in such a short time and when did he start using lenses?

"Fine."

How was your night?"

" Fine."

"Mmhm.. you look like you have brushed your teeth and taken your bath?," Silas asked Alex as he ruffled his hair.

"Yes, I already did," Alex said and nodded.

"Good boy. Breakfast will be ready soon, okay." Silas said and Alex nodded.

Few minutes later, Kim was done preparing breakfast and had already started setting the dining table.

Silas stood up and went to assist her. After the table was set, the three of them sat down to eat a breakfast of burrito filled with egg and a side dish of bacon.

The trio ate their food in silence and they enjoyed it very much. After they were done eating, Alex cleared the table and did the dishes before going to meet Silas in the living room.

After they were done eating and Alex was done doing the dishes, Silas decided to take Alex and Kim out to spend the weekend.

The weekend went by uneventfully with Silas spending it with Alex and Kim.

In the blink of an eye, it was already Monday morning.

Today is the day Silas decided to go to Stanford University to choose his preferred courses.

As he came downstairs, he saw Alex seated at the dining table and eating his breakfast.

"How are you champ? Ready for school?," Silas asked as he took his seat beside him.

"Yes."

"Ok. When you're done, I will drop you off at school."

Few minutes later, the two of them were done with their breakfast and were ready to leave.

Silas stood up and walked towards the Corvette while Alex went to get his school bag.

He didn't have to wait long as he saw Alex walking out of the door, towards him.

"Get in," Silas said, and Alex nodded as he opened the door and got in.

Immediately, Silas steered out as drove off towards the location of Alex's school.

...

Few minutes later, Silas walked into an office and was greeted by a middle-aged woman exuding a strong authoritative aura.

An aura that would have previously made Silas to cower before her but not after meeting Mr Andrés.

And for those curious, the middle-aged woman is none other than President Odetta.

After dropping Alex off at his school, Silas made his way directly to Stanford University.

"Mr Silas, Welcome."

"Thank you, President Odetta."
