"Damn, bro! You using cheats or something? How'd you get so good all of a sudden? With those street dance skills, you've got nothing to fear from Timothy Knight. Just go out there and destroy him," Murray exclaimed, pumping his fist excitedly as if he had personally defeated Timothy himself.Justin merely shook his head at the praise, shrugging off the challenge as a minor issue far beneath his notice.Time flew by, and the day of the festival arrived before they knew it.The process was about the same as always. The principal went up on stage and gave a speech, basically saying the semester was over and encouraging everyone to keep working hard. That took up half an hour, during which the students below listened with utter boredom, nearly falling asleep. It was more effective than a lullaby. But the principal didn't seem to notice, continuing to pontificate pompously in an endless stream of platitudes. Justin was nearly driven mad.At that moment, he and the others were backstage do

Though thinking about it, Timothy felt a twinge of envy towards Justin. Just what kind of good karma did this guy accumulate in his past life? To be surrounded by one stunning beauty after another while he, Timothy, had swaggered for so long yet couldn't even get Bella?This was an opportunity. Maybe he could take advantage and win all three girls over. Then he could live a heavenly existence. Hahahaha!So Timothy leapt out dramatically before the crowds and shouted, "Justin, you scumbag! You're the worst, deceiving the feelings of two such gorgeous ladies, and still trying to seduce Bella! Do you think you've been fair to these beauties who trusted you?"Hearing this, black lines fell down Justin's face. Things were chaotic enough without this clown Timothy barging in seeking attention. What a shit-stirrer. Bella was clever enough to see through Timothy's ploy immediately. Of course she would stand up for Justin now."Timothy Knight, I've told you before, we're just ordinary classma

Not just him, even the employees below were beaming with smiles, filled with a strong sense of accomplishment and pride. What could the old families of Nova State do? They had been left in shambles overnight.But just as he was speaking animatedly, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was his boss, he stopped talking and gestured for everyone to quiet down. He then hurried to the side to take the call."Hello, Boss! I was just about to share the good news when you called. What? You were stopped at the entrance? What are those guards doing? How dare they stop even you - do they want to keep their jobs or not? I'll come get you right away and fire those guys, let them scram. What? You don't want me to fire them but to give them a raise and promotion instead? Boss, you're joking right? Oh, okay, I'll be right there."After saying this, Cameron West left the conference room, rushing downstairs because the elevator was taking too long. He almost broke the elevator button from mashing it, and

"But now that you're here, it can finally go to its rightful owner. My own office is just next door if you need me for anything.""Speaking of work, I do have something for you," said Justin, opening his laptop to the charts System had provided showing recent stock trends likely to surge soon. Though all green now, System's predictions were never wrong - a spike was sure to come."Keep an eye on these stocks for me. I expect some movement soon. It won't be as much as we just made, but every little bit counts. Set up the buys for me." "Ah, but Mr. Wilson, didn't you just promise to let me go abroad to see my daughter? Now you're working me again - exploiting my surplus value! I shall file a complaint.""Fuck. How does your brain even work? Can't you just get someone to handle it?""But you're the boss around here. Why don't you oversee it yourself?" Cameron shot back.Justin instantly silenced him with a withering retort. Fine, dealing with a boss who loved to kick back was a headache

Streams of employees filed in carrying hefty stacks of documents requiring the Chairman's signature - tasks Emily previously handled for the indifferent Justin.Seeing everyone arrive, Emily steadied herself and resumed work though still looking pale. Not wanting to tax her further, Justin said "That's enough - I'll review these files myself. Emily, go rest in my office.""I'm really fine Mr. Wilson, please relax. I'll handle this, you go rest.""That's an order. Rest in my office now while I take care of things here. If you collapse from exhaustion, who will help me handle this mess? I can chip away at it briefly, but being trapped here full-time with all this paperwork might just drive me mad. Go rest, I've got this covered."Seeing his resolve, Emily nodded and retreated to Justin's office with its freshly made bed that he'd never once used. In his tenure so far, Justin had barely done any actual work, just making the occasional call or remark to set his people scrambling.For a fu
