The driver of the car stepped out and hurried to the side. Before he could get to the door, the door had been pushed open. Cory stepped out of the car and walked to the other side to get the door for Anna. Anna gazed at him with a smile after she stepped out. "Thank you." She muttered, staring at him. "Hey, Anna." Dona interrupted the two. Anna reluctantly looked away from the stiff face of Cory to the person who had interrupted her. "Dona?" Anna asked, a warm smile building in the corner of her lips. "Yes, Anna. It's me, Dona." Dona exclaimed excitedly, pushing herself into Anna without warning. She hugged Anna before Anna could even see it coming. She seemed quite jumpy and really excited to see Anna. Anna was flushed by how excited Dona was. "I'm glad that I'm finally meeting you. It has always been a dream to meet the mysterious daughter of the great and mighty Lord Theo. You have no idea how popular this would make me." Dona didn't hide any of the feelings she was nursing

The blonde and the red-haired girl jumped on their feet at once and sprinted towards the young men. Two of the men received the two girls in their arms. Each man hugged his woman. "Hey babe." The blonde leaned in and kissed her boyfriend. "What took you so long?" The red-haired complained, not willing to kiss her boyfriend. But the masculine fellow held her face and pushed it into his. He kissed her until she succumbed to him. Behind them, there was another couple. A guy and a lady. After the affections and love, they all walked to join the rest who were waiting patiently at the table. "Hey, birthday girl!!" The new girl danced around for a while before jumping into Dona's arms. She giggled hard and hugged her warmly and tightly for a long time. "Let her breathe, please." The boyfriend of the new girl called. She finally let go of Dona and held both of her hands. "Dang girl, you look so breathtaking. If I didn't have a boyfriend, I probably will be all over your socials stal

It would seem as though it was a contest of shock and twists. There were jaws hanging in the air, but some had fallen to the floor. All eyes were supplanted on the interesting frame of this stand-up comedian who was constantly doing his best to crack the joke of the century. "Cory!!!" Anna didn't even know when she yelled. When they had left the restroom, she had thought that he had listened to her because he cared about her. But here they are! And what had he just said! He would buy what? The whole Eagleville Suprr Mall?!!!"He is definitely a lunatic!" Ella exclaimed, not willing to close her mouth even after she said that. "Do you even know what you are talking about?" One of the guys attacked. "First, you claimed that you were going to buy each of us a Maybach. A Maybach that's worth over twenty million. There are eight of us here. That's about two hundred million dollars!" The guy went silent for a while. He was trying so hard to process the weight of what he was saying. Eve

"Cory!" Anna called him for the last time. Cory, who was about to open the door of the hall, stopped all of a sudden. His palm was still wrapped around the handle of the door. Just a little turn would see the door open. He turned to look at her. "I don't know why I am doing this." She admitted finally. "But something deep inside of me is saying I can trust you." She added, looking all-careful as well as scared. "I don't know if I have become a lunatic as you, but please tell me that you know what you are doing." Anna pleaded. From her facial reactions, it was glaring that she was clueless. Whatever it was that she was holding on to, it was delicate. Cory slowly let go of the door handle and turned fully to face her. He placed his left palm on a side of his face and gently folded her cheek. "Look at me." He called. She had shuddered under his touch, which made her break sight, looking to the ground. She raised her head to look him in the eyes. "You don't have to be scared of a

The board members gasped, following what Lord Theo had just said. This can not be real, can it? No one could tell which was the truth or the lie. Lord Theo stepped away from his seat and took two steps towards the three henchmen. "Keep holding him if you want my wrath!" Lord Theo growled at the men. At once, the three men panicked. They let go of Cory with immediate effect. At this point, they were shivering, shaking as though they had just caught epilepsy. "Scram!!!" Lord Theo barked at them. The men pushed themselves hard as they scrambled out of the hall. One of them even fell and had to crawl out before Lord Theo would change his mind. No man in the country! No soul would dare to cross the path of Lord Theo. Not even if they are bearing the commands of the Prime Minister of the country. Anna was shocked by the reaction of her father. Just a few seconds ago, she was scared that she had gotten in trouble and her father would not go easy on her. But now, her father was also wi
