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
“It's..” Nolan wanted to speak, but then, he hesitated at the last minute. What if Vivian refuses to see him, after knowing he's the one knocking? With that thought in mind, he kept shut, and only kept on knocking.Vivian was getting annoyed, with the lack of response, but repeated knocking on the door.“Just come in and stop knocking like that?” She yelled, with her eyes still closed. She didn't get up from the bed, even after knowing someone would be entering soon.Nolan, who was outside, had a bright yet surprised expression on his face. “Did she just ask me to come inside?” Well no, she didn't know it wasn't him since he never revealed himself.Disregarding any negative feelings, opened the door, and entered, with a sad face.One minute passed, five minutes passed, yet Nolan hadn't said anything.Even Vivian who was wrapped in her sleep, couldn't help, but furrowed her brows, even with her closed eyes.“Aren't you going to say anything, or are you going to just be like a statue i
With that said, he stood up, and dust the crinkles of meals on his shirt. Ryan glanced at him, and gave a smile. “Alright, the driver will take you back to school.”He knew Nolan was having a test so he didn't try stopping him. If he had known alright since yesterday morning, that nan test would start today, he would have postponed and not let him come over now, but rather during the weekend, so he can stay for long.“Alright, take care everyone.” Nolan waved, while about to leave.“Hey, don't forget what we discussed Nolan?” Vivian shouted for Nolan to hear, as he had already left the mansion door.“Yes, sure. I haven't forgotten.” Nan shouted back, while finally departing the mansion.He didn't bring any luggage over yesterday, so his hands were simply free, as he went over to the car's pack.Ryan turned to Vivian suspiciously. “When did you both reconcile? I thought you weren't not talking yesterday?” He was just noticing now.Vivian smiled, “well, we reconciled already. That's al
“But sir, yes we agree you've taught us everything. However, we weren't able to read everything within a span of yesterday to today, so please have mercy on us.” “Yes Mr Shawn, have mercy on us and temper justice with mercy.”They all started pleading at once. Without pleading, they don't know how they are going to manage getting an answer to all of this.“How's that my business?” Mr Shawn rolled his eyes. “Even without the announcement of the test, aren't you guys supposed to have started reading? Well, I'll advise you to just concentrate on getting an answer to those questions, or be ready to fail!” He said, harshly.Even though he knew his voice wasn't that good, he didn't care at all. This student has made him beyond pissed with their pleading. He as a teacher had made it within himself to teach them, and here they are, doing opposite of what he had expected.“Sigh!” The students all had a long sigh, as they faced their questions unwillingly, not trying to answer anything.“Ten m
