The students collectively exclaimed, their faces displaying a mix of surprise and disbelief, "Goodness, Mr. Shawn!"Mr. Shawn glanced casually at their unattractive frowns. "Indeed, you heard correctly.""But why?" they questioned.Mr. Shawn chuckled at the inquiry. "You all were eager for the class to conclude swiftly, indicating you're already familiar with the material I intended to cover. Simply join me tomorrow and demonstrate your understanding."One of the seated students pouted before vocalizing, "Mr. Shawn, are you genuinely being petty due to our desire for the class to end?”The class remained completely dimmed, as the question dropped.They wanted to puff out a loud laughter, however they tried everything within them to hold back.If they dared bring out their desired laughter, they knew they would be dead meat in front of Mr Shawn.Even the silent Nolan couldn't help, but had the urge to laugh.“....” Hehe… Mr Shawn is petty?Mr Shawn, on the other hand, already had furro
“I repeat, what are you trying to do?!” She increased the volume of her voice.Nolan glanced at her silently, without responding to her. He could clearly see the irritation and anger brewing in their eyes.It was as though if Nolan dared to say one unacceptable word, they would instantly bulge out his eyes, into stinky red.Another of the students chimed in. “Nolan, will you answer her or do you want to incur the wrath of the entire class?” Nolan glanced at the speaker, and once again kept silent. His attitude made everyone feel like he was ignoring them.“You sure have some gut now, don't you? Otherwise, how on earth would someone of your caliber try to ignore us?” Many mocking chuckles erupt among the students. The disgust and mocking gazes thrown on Nolan at once was uncountable. Mr Shawn, who was standing, had his face furrowed, beyond recognition. He couldn't believe that right in front of him, he was being treated like air. With his furrowed expression, he reprimanded. “That
It was only the first guy that had spoken, the other's hadn't chimed their mouths into the insult yet, so they were rather feeling relieved.The first supporter male that had spoken, attacked back. “Yes, we like her, but even if she doesn't like us back, we're still relieved and proud to say, you can't even be considered enough as a man to like her.”Upon hearing the final comeback, laughter erupted from many of them. Despite grasping the meaning behind it, they found it impossible to stifle their amusement.Sarcastic remarks filled the air. "How could you suggest that Betty wouldn't even spare a thought for our dear Nolan? That's cutting."Nolan maintained his composure, addressing the man before him calmly. "It's preferable to be acknowledged by anything other than Betty.""Oh dear, that's quite a sharp jab!" exclaimed the women in astonishment, their gazes fixed on Nolan.Without further explanation, Nolan had effectively put an end to Betty's influence.Mockingly, one of the women
Every other student who heard that question nodded in agreement. The question had also been lingering in their minds since Mr. Shawn's test announcement.Nolan's curiosity also piqued with the question. He was particularly eager to learn the answer.Mr. Shawn proceeded to explain, "The test scheduled for tomorrow will serve as the basis for calculating your overall grade in conjunction with your exam score."Upon hearing this, the students collectively lowered their heads in disappointment. "So, does that mean the previous test we took won't count anymore?" one student asked with a hint of concern.Mr. Shawn paused for a moment before confirming, "Unfortunately, yes. Although this announcement about the test may seem sudden, it could be seen as a hidden opportunity for some of you," he added sincerely.The student frowned, “how is that a blessing in disguise? It's a clear torture to us! How on earth can we prepare within a day to cry out loud!”To them, they could only explain Mr Shaw
Nolan smiled as he fully approached the principal, who was seated. "Yes, sir, you called for me?" he repeated.With a cheerful expression still in place, the principal nodded. "Indeed, I did call you for a reason. Please, take a seat first."Nolan didn't hesitate to comply and settled into the chair.The principal's demeanor shifted to a more serious tone as he also straightened up in his seat. "I've had a discussion with the teachers, and after careful consideration, we've reached a decision."Nolan's confusion was evident, his face reflecting perplexity. "What discussion? I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at."Although the school authorities may have convened and discussed something, Nolan couldn't fathom why the principal would personally inform him about it.The principal chuckled at Nolan's puzzled expression. "I'm telling you this because it directly concerns you.”He paused to take in Nolan's expression.Nan tried to regain his composure, before saying. “Go on.” Th
"Ugh, Principal, why are you being so unreasonable today?" Nolan sighed, visibly exhausted by the principal's persistence."Well, I've always been unreasonable; you're just realizing it now," the principal retorted shamelessly."Ugh," Nolan groaned in frustration."Principal, can we just call it a day? Maybe when you observe how things unfold, you'll realize your suspicions are unfounded. I have no hidden identity," Nolan pleaded.The principal rolled his eyes. Despite his desire to continue pressing, it was clear that Nolan wouldn't divulge anything he didn't want to."Sigh," the principal conceded, relenting for the day. But he made a mental note not to let Nolan off the hook another time.He changed the topic. “About your test, you'll be starting tomorrow, so go prepare, you get?” He raised his brows, waiting for Nolan to answer.“Yeah,.yeah, I understand principal.” Nolan nodded.“Better. I don't want to see you being lazy.” With that said, he dismissed Nolan.By the time Nolan g
Disappointment was evident on his face as he asked, "Did you consider all my requests unimportant? Otherwise, why haven't you completed everything as promised?"Elijah sighed heavily and quickly refuted, "It's not like that, young master. When I took on the responsibility of bringing that individual, I visited the organization where he was training and discovered that he was assigned a mission."He paused briefly before adding, "Upon learning about his mission, he wanted to inform you, but I was concerned that you would be disappointed in me for failing to fulfill the task. I apologize."Nolan looked at him coldly, unsatisfied with Elijah's explanation. What was the point of explaining now when the task still remained incomplete?“You don't need to apologize. You should have told me instead of keeping quiet, and getting my hopes all high.” He said, looking disappointed.“What about the auction? Will that still happen or some changes have occurred?” Nolan asked, with little hope.“Yes,
Those at the tables were his dad's elder brother Dominic children, Alvin and Lucy. Next them was his agile looking aunt Kristen.Dominic, was also present, alongside, Before he could even manage to greet, the loud and exciting voice of Kristen was heard.“Goodness, look who I'm seeing! It's my boy Nolan, looking all handsome.” She flashed a proud look, as she scrutinized Nolan.Nolan coughed slightly. He'd not expected such praise, so he seemed quite awkward.“Come over, Nolan.” She urged, when she saw him still standing.Nolan took a hold of his emotions, and walked over to seat, next to the dining table.“How are you doing? Hope Ryan hasn't been troublesome to you?” She asked, while giving a mature vibe.Nolan smiled in return, as he shook his head. “No, dad has been good to me.” He wasn't lying. It was only today, he received the wrath of Ryan.Kristen smiled even more, as she patted Nolan cheek. “Goodness, you're getting more handsome and fresh.” Nolan coughed once more. Why is
