*****"You claimed you could help concerning what I called you for last night. Why am I now hearing that someone else had intervened?" Ares's jaw tightened at this moment as he seethed with anger.He had thought he was finally going to make a good impression in front of his wife, thereby changing her attitude toward him and making her stop treating him like a piece of garbage. He had never expected that instead of doing according to his wish, he’d be doing the opposite.**“What are you talking about, grandmaster?” Dave in his office, who had worked tirelessly since he received Ares’s call the previous night was currently taken aback.He had been brimming with excitement before answering Ares's call, assuming that Ares was going express gratitude for fulfilling his request. He had never anticipated Ares's furious question. "You're saying someone else claimed to have assisted?" Dave asked with disbelief evident in his tone after a moment. “Did I lie?”Back in his car, the fur
*****“Alle! Alle!!” Inside a dormitory room at Bee University, One of Alle’s roommates, Esme abruptly screamed.Startled by the sudden yell of her name, Alle rapidly glanced at Esme and her other roommates who were busily giving her knowing gazes at this moment.“Is there something you have been keeping away from us?”“That’s right. Could it be that our dear sister Alle had finally gotten a key to her heart?” The two roommates inquired playfully.Upon hearing them, Alle blushed profusely and felt deeply embarrassed, causing the ladies to exchange gazes before sending knowing looks at Alle.To be honest, they hadn't truly believed it until now; it had only been a mere speculation lingering in their minds since Alle returned the previous night.Typically, Alle was a devoted bookworm, rarely going five minutes without reading. However, since the previous night, she hadn't even opened her book at all. Instead, she found herself smiling foolishly to herself, lost in her thoughts an
*****“Perhaps, he is too embarrassed to show up.” Josh who was just addressed by Cloe responded matter-of-factly.“That should be right.” Cloe, a lady who has always had low-class esteem due to her condition which was only slightly well off compared to Ares nodded her head.Since Ares was not there yet, she hadn’t been free at all as everyone there was better than her both financially and with backgrounds.“Why the heck are we waiting for the failure, anyway?” Madison looked at her friend, Cloe, and enquired with confusion. “Let’s just enjoy tonight, it’s not like the failure has anything to contribute other than his stinking irritating appearance.”As soon as everybody heard this, they laughed and agreed with her.“We’ve been waiting for that abandoned orphan since we got here and had not even introduced ourselves yet, is that not us placing that nobody in an important position he does not deserve to be in?” Raya, one of Ares’ bullies also added with dissatisfaction.Apart fro
*****Cloe was slightly startled upon realizing that she was the first person to be called out and then she became nervous.“Go for it, girl!!” Her friend cat called toward her, and immediately, Cloe saw everybody’s anticipated stares on herself. She beamed and then stood up.“Everyone,” she called out gently. “Well, these recent years have been very good to me. Not a single percent up to brother Bernard, of course,” she did not forget to flatter Bernard, which everybody did not find out of place.“Although I only stopped my education at high school, I was able to get myself a job in a multimillion-dollar company, and in just a few years, my salary managed to exceed $30,000 per month and with it, I was able to by my second car just a week ago, a BMW M2 of 200,000 dollars.”“Oh my god!!!” Everybody gasped with shock upon hearing Cloe’s achievement.As she was a lady, a beautiful one at that, everybody had always treated her well and had never bullied her. Yet, they had always loo
*****Who isn't aware that one of Bernard's favorite activities is tormenting Ares?Knowing grins immediately spread across their faces as soon as Bernard's proposal was mentioned, then everybody glanced at Ares, waiting to hear his response."Idiot, you'd better seize this amazing opportunity that's landed in your lap without any effort on your part. You may never encounter such a remarkable chance again, not even one percent as good, for the rest of your life." Cloe jeered at Ares, relishing in his humiliation.Ares, though initially unable to respond, suddenly smirked. "I'd be happy to extend the same offer to you. Interested in signing? I'll have someone prepare the perfect servitude contract for you immediately."“This…” Everybody’s mouths opened wide as soon as they heard Ares playfully using Bernard’s suggestion back at him."Has this dude gone nut?" they whispered to each other, but then remembering Bernard's history of bullying Ares due to his strong and muscular physiq
*****“Loser, where do you think you are going?!” Cloe abruptly jumped to her feet after returning to her senses and instantly rushed to bar Ares’s way just as he was about to rush away.“You think that was smartness you were on the verge of portraying, no?” She inquired sarcastically.“It is nothing but foolishness!” She gave the response to her own question with a sudden yell and then placed her hands on her waist like how a housewife, whose husband was trying to leave the house after she had ordered him not to leave would do.Hearing her abrupt yell, the others in the room also returned to their senses and most of them jumped to their feet the following moment.They hurried towards Ares and quickly set up another barrier behind Cloe, without any hesitation, also aiming to prevent Ares from escaping. “So, this was your aim when you arrogantly stated that you were going to settle all tonight’s expenses? You are truly a fool!” Someone mocked.“I knew it! How could you, someone
***** For some reason, Olivia suddenly became uncomfortable by the gaze she was being given by Ares.Holding Olive’s hand the way she had just done was something the two of them had been used to doing since their childhood, and she hadn’t put much thought into it when Olive proposed it earlier, but now, she couldn’t help but feel awkward. Olivia immediately wanted to take away her hand, but Olive would not let him go.“What are you doing here?” She finally broke the stalemate silence between herself and Ares. Ares scoffed upon hearing her question. “Shouldn’t I be asking you that? A married woman intimately holding another guy’s hand in the public… what a joke.”“You…” Olivia immediately became even embarrassed by Ares’s allegation, but then this embarrassment rapidly turned into a deep humiliation.“What do you mean?” She growled at him. “What do I mean?” Ares smiled with anger. “Look for yourself and see what I mean.”“You!!” Olivia’s breathing became heavy and then she became in
*****"Didn't she inform me that she'd wait for me here?" Ares found himself puzzled as he looked around the spot where Alle had pledged to stay and wait for him.He even sent out his mental energy to scout the area, but he failed to locate even the slightest trace of Alle.“Hope she had not gone there alone?” He mumbled to himself and immediately, Ares’s heart skipped with nervousness.“Had I not warned her to not go alone?” He sighed exasperatedly.Following that, Ares gritted his teeth before quickly taking out his cell phone.He dialed the number with which Alle had called him earlier, which was picked at the first ring.“Where are you?” He inquired as soon as he placed the cell phone against his ears, but in the following second, he seemed to perceive an irritating and disgusting aura, greatly confusing him.“Are you searching for her?” A cold voice came out of the phone, further intensifying the disgusting aura leaking out of the cell phone."Her, who? Whom are you refe
