Life at the Top

This morning, the first thing Henry did when he awoke was push away the woman by his side and pull out his laptop to check gleefully how much Sena’s share prices had risen on Nasdaq.

This was something he had done every day without fail in recent days.

Ever since he had bought his private plane, Henry finally understood what it meant to be painfully broke.

He even requested for the alcohol that he had left unfinished during previous visits whenever he frequented bars, for he was reluctant to open a new bottle. He only had a few million left in his accounts, which caused him to constantly worry. He could not help but feel like he would die due to how broke he was at any second.

In dire need to make money, Henry had an idea when he saw Sena’s share price rising every day.

His heart set, Henry decided to put all his money into Sena’s shares.

Indeed, the share price had shot up every day.

Soon, Henry had already gained more than 50% of what he had initially invested, and with the new influx of money, Henry’s mood brightened greatly.

He felt different from other trust-fund children who only knew how to ask their family for money. He felt like he was somehow better than them now.

He bought a private plane with his own money, and he did not even need to ask his family for allowance. At that point in time, he was completely self-sufficient.

Yet, this new reality had shattered that morning.

Sena’s share prices plummeted, and Henry immediately kicked out the woman he had held tightly and called ‘baby’ the night before. Putting on a set of clothes, Henry rushed over to Jasper’s place,

Jasper was amused when he caught sight of Henry’s resentful expression. “Since when did you buy Sena’s shares? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Henry spoke embarrassedly, “It’s just a few million, I was a little embarrassed.”
