“You can't imagine what the VC and other committees have decided on? It should be on the Stanford University website too or has it not been updated yet?” Rose complained.“Wait what?” Nancy muttered.Sophia finally opened the school group and saw it. There were a lot of messages actually, people trying to voice out their opinions.“Wtf! Amazing Fighter identity won't be revealed until later? But why is that so?” “There's going to be a princess? And who can that be?” Nancy voiced out.“Well, the princess and the prince will be revealed later on. I thought only Amazing Fighter won the competition,” Ann contributed.Sophia sighed as she finished reading through. She looked up at her friends. “Actually, I have something to tell you.”The girls looked at her.“Is something wrong?” it was Rose who asked.Sophia bit into the little side of her lips for a moment as she thought about it. “Just as the news had indicated, the management decided to come up with a princess. And one was selected
“All done, boss but will you really be meeting with Ned tonight?”Brad nodded once. “I will deal with everything I'm supposed to deal with tonight,” he assured.Ava nodded once. “The flight has been booked. You will be able to take off after the party. Where you will land and finally take your plane to Italy,” she supplied.Brad nodded once. “Thank you so much, Ava. You can stay behind or go ahead of me. You don't necessarily need to wait for me.”“What about tonight? I should go with you. You are meeting Ned.”“Well, you don't necessarily have to. Besides, I'm showing in front of Ned as someone close to Vincenzo. You shouldn't show up so as not to arouse any suspicion.”Ava nodded once. “Alright. What about the party? Am I not going with you?”Brad shook his head briefly. “You don't have to because I'm not going there as the P-Bold president.”“Alright then. I will leave now.” Brad smiled softly. “I will see you in Italy then because I won't be going to school at all.”Ava stood and
“So, what do you want in return?”Brad placed his fingers on his chin and pretended to be thinking about it. “How about a favour?”“And what can that be? If it's something I can do, then I will.”“Well,” Brad started and stretched out towards Nick. “If it's not something you can do, I wouldn't even table it in front of you.”Nick placed a file in Brad’s palm.Brad placed it on the table and pushed it closer to Ned.Ned took the papers and went through them. He hesitated. “You want my company?”“No, not that.”“Not what?” He asked in anger. He could not believe what Brad was proposing to him to let go of his father's company that he had worked hard foIn fact, he was willing to do anything to recover it. So, there was no way he was going to let it go.“Calm down, you are too forward,” Brad muttered. “This deal is going to favour us both. So, if you really need this money, then you need to listen to me. I'm so sure no one wants to help you now. If you don't do this, you will lose your f
Brad smiled softly and nodded at Nick.Nick placed some files in front of Ned.“I will do the transfer after you've signed. just think of it as keeping your company safe for the main time. Just for six months at least. You should be able to return it by then, right?”Ned nodded once. “Very well.”Brad regarded him for a moment and stopped him as he was about to sign. “If you are not about to pay me back, I will claim the company as mine.”Ned thought about it quickly and saw that nothing was bad about it. Besides, Brad was only lending him a few amounts. He should be able to pull that up within six months.“Sure don't bother about it. I'm only using my company as collateral, right? Which means if I'm able to pay you at the stipulated time, I will get my right back?”Brad nodded once.“Then I will pay you in three months,” he said and signed at the necessary places. He stretched the paper out. “Are there more?”Brad smiled. “Good. Let me do the transfer then.”Ned extended a piece of p
Brad made sure Sophia had entered the club before he walked back to his car. His phone rang suddenly. It was David.He entered the car and picked it up.Nick looked at him, “Can we leave?” He mouthed.Brad nodded once and pulled the phone away from his ear for a moment. “Yes, move,” he ordered and placed the phone on his ear again.“Hello Brad,” David said into the receiver.“Hi. I'm sorry for not getting back to you since morning.”“Oh, it's ok. We should have called too but we had to meet Mr. Badmus in his office. He sent for us,” David explained.“Oh? Why?” Brad feigned ignorance.“Thank you! I'm so happy for that question. Even now, I'm still so shocked. I have no idea what could have happened. You can't believe that Mr. Badmus changed his mind? He pardoned us and said we could sit for his exam.”“Really?” Yet again, Brad feigned ignorance. “He really said that?”“We were as surprised as you when he told us. I mean I thought Mick said we were not going to graduate this year. Kevi
They were too shocked to say anything initially. No one could believe that Ann could be supporting Sophia or even be speaking well about Brad.All her friends knew how she used to behave, especially to poor guys.So, they were skeptical as to the change of behavior.“Is that coming from you? I don't believe this,” Nancy muttered with eyes wide.Ann shrugged briefly. “Well, just saying. I mean Brad is also a human being. Sometimes, he doesn't deserve this.”“Interesting,” Nancy muttered and laughed. “A lot of things are currently happening. I'm really surprised at the majority of things happening.”Sophia smiled. “Well, I hope you guys can also change your mind soon, concerning Brad since Ann has changed as well.”Ann shrugged briefly and reached for the wine on the table unconsciously.The fact that she was suddenly thinking of how to draw close to Brad. Perhaps he could forgive her. Perhaps he could help her. A lot was going through her mind and she felt like she was going crazy.If
Brad had a long shower. Maxwell has gotten back to him and the venue of the party was so close that Brad didn't have to rush.He dressed casually and walked inside the living room.Maria moved closer to him. “Your breakfast is ready.”Brad adjusted his clothes and moved into the dining room.His phone beeped again and a message appeared on the top screen.Brad read through. It was Maxwell reminding him of the time he had left.He looked up at Maria. “Thank you so much,” he muttered before he started eating.His phone beeped again. He finished up, took his phone, and walked out of the house.Nick was waiting for him beside the expensive BMW.Brad shook his head briefly. “I'm not riding in that,” he said with a smile and moved to the second car.Nick hurried closer. “I'm coming with you.”Nick has actually started liking Brad being his boss. The fact that he wasn't only smart but his way of judgment was cool. Brad looked at him and hesitated.“Please, I will help,” he promised.Brad no
Brad and the rest of them got out of the bus.“You all should be familiar with your position. I don't want anyone leaving or wandering around. You,” he pointed at Brad. “_you and you, stick together.”Everyone nodded in response before they were led into the hall through the backway.Brad hesitated as he regarded the interior decoration for a moment. Truly, the whole place was a beauty to behold.“Don't just stand there. What are you standing here for!” The man's voice jerked him out of his scrutiny.“I wonder why this man is always screaming,” Nick complained beside Brad.Brad looked at Nick. “We will be in charge of distributing the wines. I won't be able to see Fernandez if we are in other aspects.”“So glad you all are here!” The Mc started suddenly and all attention was drawn to him. “As you all know it's a birthday party of our beloved father and we have a lot of big men and women amidst us to make today memorable. For that, the host had decided to bring up an auction.”A round
