Nextday
Glenn woke up from the sun rays pricking on his skin. He must have forgotten to close the curtain before going to sleep.
He jumped off the bed and went straight to the bathroom for a quick shower. After that, he was about to go to the kitchen to have a breakfast but he remembered the refrigerator is empty. That's when he decided to have a breakfast outside instead.
He called Brian and asked if the management service has an option for filling up the groceries. Brian said they have and it was included in the room service. He just needed to give them the list of items and they will replenish the kitchen as soon as possible.
Glenn gave them the list and told them he would like the groceries to be delivered in his suite including the containers. Brian said that it won't be a problem and it'll just be included in his monthly bill so Glenn relaxed.
"Looks like I have to buy my transportation first." He muttered.
Glenn went to the elevator before swiping his key card to the scanner. The elevator started to descend and in no time, he was at the ground floor lobby. The receptionist greeted him and he returned the greeting before leaving the building.
He went to a nearby diner and ate his breakfast quietly. With the smell of freshly made pancake, bacons and egg, this made him nostalgic, lost in his thoughts as he watch the people go by in their busy daily life. Up to now, he still couldn't believe he is now here in this exciting yet dangerous world.
A few hours later, Glenn was standing in front of a car dealership that sells Audi cars with a briefcase he took out from his inventory. And his target was the newly issued model this year, the 2007 Audi R8.
He chose this car model more than a fancy sports car although technically it is included in those list of luxury vehicle. He chose this because the design was a little bit lowkey compared to Porsche or Aston Martin. Plus the space inside was a little wider than most sports cars.
When he walk inside, the staffs scrambled to assist him seeing he's carrying a brief case. In any case, people with a briefcase like that was usually in middle class to upperclass standing.
Glenn didn't waste time as he directly stated that he wanted an R8 Audi that was ready to be taken away and he's paying in cash. The manager stepped in to handle his request. He chose a black R8 Audi and immediately signed the papers for purchase. He bought the car for $110,000 and also paid additional fee to let the dealership handle his plate and insurance. He gave them his current address so they could send the plate to him once it's ready.
He left the dealership driving his new car as he sped along the highway. With this, there won't be a problem getting to the places he needed to go.
Like for example, the bank where he is parking right now. He figured carrying so much cash on him is inconvenient. In this modern times, it would be more convenient to use a card for purchases so he planned to open an account right now and deposit half of the remaining money he still have.
One hour later, he successfully opened an account in the bank returning an empty briefcase to his inventory. He now had debit card that he can use for shopping instead.
Happy for what he did, he went straight to a nearby mall to solve his problem with the clothes.
Feeling like a millionaire, he went straight to Emporio Armani shop to buy his suits. Right after entering, a few scrutinizing eyes checked him yet they remain professional. However, they didn't came to him for assistance like the staff on the dealership did so Glenn approached one lady who looked like a rookie.
"Hello, Miss. Would you mind helping me?"
"S-sure, sir. How can I help you?"
"I need 30 pairs of three-piece suits, all black and to my size. Include 30 long sleeve shirts as well. Hmmm..40 pieces of ties and the design should be different each."
"What?! That's too many. I'm sorry sir I can't recall all of them. Can I call help from my supervisor? I'm just new here."
"Okay, go ahead."
The lady left and a few seconds later, she return with her manager.
"Hello, sir? How can I help you?"
"Well, I would suggest noting this down."
"Go ahead, sir we can remember it."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I need 30 pairs of three-piece suits, all black and according to my size. I also need 30 long sleeve shirts preferably with stripes in black or white color. Lastly, 40 pieces of ties and each should be in different design."
Glenn looked at the supervisor and saw that she was stunned. She might be in shock with the number of suits Glenn was purchasing.
"You know what, give me a pen and paper. I list it down for you."
The rookie lady handed a pen and paper to Glenn and the latter quickly wrote the things he need.
"Here."
The rookie lady handed the note to her supervisor and they both left to process his order.
The supervisor went back to get his measurements and while doing so, Glenn asked.
"Can I get my orders today?"
"Yes, Sir. However, it would take at least 45 minutes to gather them."
"As long as I can get them today, no biggie. Since it would take some time, I'll pay them now and then I'll go get them later. "
"Okay, I've already got your size, sir. Please wait for me while I go get the payment terminal to swipe your card."
"Sure."
The supervisor came back with the payment terminal (it's the machine the size of your arm that looks like a calculator where you swipe your debit card). Glenn successfully paid his order using his card.
After getting out of the Armani shop, he went towards the electronics section and bought a few things. He bought the lastest model of high performance laptop and android cellphone. It's a little expensive for a regular citizen but with Glenn's pocket money, it was just a drop in a bucket. He was about to go out when he thought, he also needed to get a Bluetooth earphone, just in case he gets bored.
A/N: I'm setting the current year a little advance in terms of technological aspect simply because this is Marvel so don't focus on this small details. He just wanted to indulge himself.
Once finished in the electronics section, he also bought two pairs of leather shoes, a rolex watch and of course, underwear.
He checked the time on his new watch and noticed that there's still time so he went for lunch on a nearby restaurant and ordered a steak.
Half an hour later, he decided it was time to go back and get his suits. As he returned to the Armani shop, he saw the staffs are busy so he looked for the supervisor and found her.
When the supervisor saw him, she quickly put on her smile and said, "Sir, your suits are ready. I called someone to help you out gettinf them to your car, would you mind showing us the way?"
"That's good. I'm very satisfied with your service. Here take this $2,000 as a tip and give this $1,000 to the girl who assisted me first. Yeah, I'm talking about the rookie. You should promote her. She's great."
"Thank you so much, sir. Let me call her quick." The supervisor said before turning around to call the rookie employee.
"Lisa! Come here, quick."
The lady rookie came with a confused expression.
"Sir is satisfied with your service and wants you to have this $1,000 as your tip. Here take it."
"Oh my gosh, is this real?"
Glenn shot up his eyebrows and said, "It is, lady."
Lisa looked at him and became anxious. She hurriedly explained before Glenn misunderstood everything.
"O-oh no no, sir I'm not talking about the money. I mean you giving me a big tip. I just can't believe it and it feels like I'm in a dream."
"Ohhhh, well I hope you enjoy the feeling. It's not everyday you encounter someone as generous as me. Besides, I'm in a good mood today."
"Right! Once again, thank you. Let me help carry your suit to your car. "
"Sure!"
"Right, before you go sir, we included a leather belt and black leather gloves inside as freebies courtesy of the store. I hope you like it. "
"Wow, thanks! I appreciate it."
Lisa and some of the staffs carrying his suits followed him to the underground parking lot. Glenn opened his trunk and let the staff arranged the suits, placing it carefully inside.
Then he gave other staffs a hundred dollar bill for helping before he drive off heading towards his penthouse.
When he arrived, Glenn called Brian and asked for help carrying the suits and things he bought to his room which the latter complied.
Once the staff has left and he was alone once again, he took a quick shower and tried the suits he bought.
Looking at the mirror, Glenn looked like a proper business man, but with a red tie and black gloves, he find it odd because his whole image changed and he looked more like an assassin now. Like a John Wick-Agent 47 handsome version of it.
He couldn't help but smile at his new look and he really liked it.
"I think it would be more cool if I have a cigarette, hahaha. Wait a minute—why not? I'm immune to any disease but the problem is, I haven't done that in my past life."
He checked the time and it was almost 8 in the evening. Night wasn't so deep yet so he decides to eat dinner at a nearby fast food chain and probably buy a cigarette in the convenience store.
He went down the building and saw Brian at the lobby discussing something with the staffs.
"Good evening, Brian."
Brian turned to look at him and was stunned at his new refreshing look.
"Good evening, Mr. Peterson. You look dashing in your suit, sir. More elegant and sophisticated than before."
"Thank you! Figured I should try what I bought."
"A wise decision, sir. Are you heading out?"
"Yeah, I'm planning to eat dinner and drive by a convenient store along the way."
"Be careful, sir. The night is dark and full of terror. "
Glenn was stunned when he said that. Then right after, he saw Brian smiled.
Glenn laughed as Brian said, "I got you good, sir. "
"Yeah, you love game of thrones, huh. I never thought you had dark humor in your veins."
Glenn shook his head before turning around to leave.
"Keep safe, sir."
"I will!"
Glenn walked to the parking lot and went inside his car. He started the engine while chuckling to what happened at the lobby but his smile vanished when he remembered that it's still 2007 and game of thrones wasn't aired yet. He thought Brian is definitely messing with him—right?
