[TRANSFER CERTIFICATE OF TITLE][It is hereby certified that a certain restaurant and lot located in the suburban, bounded and described as follows…]“Am I dreaming?” Damian asked, unable to believe what he was seeing right now. “The tea and treasure restaurant…You are transferring it to me now?”“Yes, I’m giving it to you. And no, you are not dreaming,” answered Veron with a smile on his face. “I know I told you that I will give you the restaurant once you graduate, but seeing your rapid progress right now makes me feel that you are already ready for this.”“I don’t know if I can handle the restaurant well…” Damian said, remembering all the shortcomings he had when he was managing that place. “I have so many things to learn, and I only realized that when I worked at the Ferremento Corporation.”“I understand your fear, but see how you thrived in this system implementation, which you thought was impossible in the beginning?” Veron asked, placing his hand on Damian’s arm. “Just like th

"What?” Damian asked, his eyes widening because of Anya’s sudden invitation. “A date?”“A friendly date, of course. What are you thinking?” Anya replied, laughing as she looked at Damian’s reaction. “This could be considered as a date, but since we also did some work, so I guess this meet-up leans more on the business meeting.”“Right…” Damian acknowledged as he looked away.“Anyway, don’t worry because we will schedule it if both of us are free,” Anya reassured him, her tone polite. “When are you free—”Anya wasn’t able to finish her sentence when suddenly, Damian leaned forward, narrowing the distance between them. “Are you free now?”“H-Huh?” Anya asked back, feeling stunned. She also seemed like she forgot to breathe for a moment, given how close Damian was to her right now. “Ah, y-yes. I’m free. That is why I’m here to help you with the restaurant.”Damian smiled. “Same thing. I’m also free right now.”“You are not. You have work,” said Anya, her brows furrowing and her eyes narr

“That’s good, then,” Damian said, sighing in relief because of Dollie’s answer. However, despite that, he still couldn’t help but worry about her. “You are still young, so don’t work that much and enjoy your life, too.” “Says the one who has experienced tons of work with different companies even without graduating yet.” Dollie chuckled, shaking her head. “Anyway, I heard Anya already went to your restaurant a few days ago. Did you learn something from her?” “I did,” Damian replied. “The food and restaurant business is the Montgomery family’s forte, so I’m not surprised with the knowledge she has.” “What about your feelings, then?” Dollie asked, her brows wiggling. Damian’s forehead creased, confused. “My what?” “Oh, please! Playing dumb, aren’t we?” Dollie chuckled and hit her forehead with her palm. “You two, don’t you think I will know? Ever since I became Anya’s friend, she never stopped talking about you, and you never stopped looking at her every time the three of us went tog

“I WILL also bid for fifty thousand dollars.”As Damian spoke those words, everyone gasped in shock as they looked at Damian in disbelief. Even Anya, who was getting bored earlier while listening to the auction, suddenly looked at Damian in confusion. She never thought Damian would participate in an auction like this, nor did she expect Damian to watch it at least.“A-Alright!” the auctioneer acknowledged, snapping herself back to reality after a few seconds of being stunned. “Who else?”The students continued blabbering after the auctioneer asked that, but their topic wasn’t about Anya now. It was about how Damian easily bid for fifty thousand dollars when they, who were children of wealthy families, couldn’t even do it.Suddenly, one of the students raised a hand. “I wasn’t having doubts about Terrence and Clyde’s bid because they are rich, but what about Damian?” he asked, looking at Damian condescendingly. “Although I know that he was now working at the Ferremento Corporation, i

EVERYONE’S EYES widened upon hearing the auctioneer’s words as their gazes shifted to Anya, who never bothered to hide her smirk.Damian also smirked subtly, especially as his eyes locked with Anya for a moment. ‘You were so sure that no one would dare date you because of this, huh?’ he thought upon realizing why Anya had that wicked smirk earlier.“This is unfair!” Clyde suddenly exclaimed, his tone laced with annoyance. “This is an auction, so what’s with the sudden question-and-answer portion? And pursue? She is here as a participant for fuck’s sake!”“He’s right! This is ridiculous!” Terrence seconded the motion.“If you don’t have the guts to answer questions, then leave the stage,” Anya spoke this time, whom everyone didn’t notice was holding a microphone now. “Why are you making it look like I forced you to bid and come here?”Anya’s tone and expression were laced with intimidation, making Terrence and Clyde stunned. Anya may be a woman, but her presence was more powerful than
