“I'm sorry for wasting your time.” Freddie's head lowered, looking embarrassed as he saw many people gathered.If he had known before, from the moment he stepped into the store about their shoe prices, he wouldn't have wasted the workers' time.“What's going on here?”“I heard this guy wasted the workers' time thinking he wanted to purchase a shoe.”“I really don't know why some people had that character. Always wanting to delay and make people happy for nothing.” “That's not what happened. I didn't choose to purchase again because I don't have that much money.” Freddie quickly tried to explain.No one listened to him, their disdain increased meticulously. "Well, isn't this a rare sight? Someone clearly lost in the wrong side of town," another worker sneered, his words dripping with contempt. Freddie, caught off guard, looked up with a furrowed brow, unsure if the comment was directed at him.How could they say he lost his way here, when he definitely walked in here with his feet.
The workers' hearts tightened, as they felt pressured by Nolan's words. They couldn't believe they had almost mistaken Nolan as a worthy customer.“No, he has no money. His friend couldn't even afford a shoe of 2,000 so what could be expected from him?” They tried to let that thought stick in their heads, Nolon only remained motionless, as he feigned seeing the workers distress.Meanwhile, the manager was in his own thoughts. He reasoned about Nolan 's condition, and felt he wouldn't lose at all.It will be the workers' misfortune, if eventually Nolan pays up.It wasn't in any way going to affect him, after all, he had already always instructed and warned the workers on numerous situations, to be polite to any customers that walked into this shop, even if they bought anything or did.The manager nodded, after thinking, the pros and cons. “Alright sir.” The chest of the workers heaved slightly as they heard their manager agree to Nolan.“Oh God! What am I going to do now?”“I'm sure,
They knew since that incident that Nolan doesn't like to bring or hear any conversation that seems to involve Darcy, so is Hansel dreaming thinking Nolan is still thinking of that wrecked girl- Darcy?!They turned their face to Nolan's expressionless face and wanted to see if they could notice something.They gave up their stares after seeing Nolan expression was as blank as fuck.Nolan sighed looking pissed, but he still managed to give a reply. "I don't know why you and your people are just saying this to me. It's tiring hearing it, so please just quit it! In fact, do you think I look like one who's trying to get Darcy back?!”He has even started wondering if that's what the whole school is thinking of. Do they think the headphone issue was caused so he could have Darcy notice him? Do they think when he resumed from his suspension, he had a new changeover in terms of appearance because he was trying to impress darcy?All this seems like a funny joke to him. Since the moment he res
Micheal's eyes darkened, as rage boiled in him. “Can't he just let us be? I can see he's also here to shop, so why would he waste his time, to stop at our front and create a scene?!”Freddie couldn't be helped, but voiced his concern. “Don't you think Nolan might never want to follow us out again because of today's happening?”He added, with concern and self guilt etched in his voice. “We shouldn't have forced Nolan to follow us out. If we'd not forced him to let go out today, he would not have been in this mess with Hansel.” Edmond shook his head . “No, that's not the case. Even if we'd not come here, any other place that Hansel sees Nolan, he would have caused trouble for him there too.”“Oh.” Freddie gasped, as he felt a little relieved.Meanwhile, Nolan, on the other hand, was having a difficult time. He has come to the realization that Hansel wasn't going to back down, until he had his way with him.The only thing he could do was to take control of the situation. He turned to Ed
"Damn it, damn it, damn it. I can't believe I apologized to that loser!" Hansel's eyes blazed with rage.Continuing to kick his legs into thin air, the frustration and embarrassment in his eyes were unparalleled to none."Hansel! Hansel, wait for us!” The entourage yelled, their breaths unstable as they sprinted to catch up with Hansel.Hansel didn't cease his brisk pace until some time had passed. The rage and anger in his eyes were so intense that his entourage had to tread carefully with their words.He finally halted when he reached the main mall.“Hansel, are you upset?” One of his entourage inquired cautiously. The sight of rage in Hansel's eyes made them panic.Fueled by a frustrated groan, Hansel yelled, “Are you all stupid? What kind of question is that? From my expression, do I look like someone who's not upset, huh?”The entourage shifted back subconsciously, overcome by fear. “You shouldn't be upset. Getting worked up over a nobody like Nolan isn't worth it.”Their words w
After wrestling with a contemplative thought, Darcy sighed with relief. It was clear she had thought them true.Her response was accompanied by a smile, a small smirk gracing her chin. "Why allow our mood to be spoiled just because of him?" she questioned.Silently, Hansel turned to Darcy, seeking further clarification.Clearing her throat, Darcy expressed her sentiment with a touch of disdain. "What I mean is, why should we squander our precious time pondering Nolan winning a wager when, in reality, he's insignificant in your presence?" A smug smile played on her lips.The mind of the entourage softened a little. Even if they had to say they were a little worried about what Nolan had done, they had to admit that Darcy words had managed to ease their minds.“You're right. That poor wreck can't be compared to me.” An arrogant and prideful tone was etched in Hansel's voice.Previously, he had a fierce expression on his face, and now, he no longer had such. He even had to smack his head,
The journey back to the school wasn't much. They were able to get back to the school on time perhaps due to no traffic.“Alright guys. I'll be heading to my room to change.” Nolan turned, to his friends and said,“Okay. See you tomorrow.” Freddie waved his hands, as they left for their dorm.Nolan didn't stand much, before also leaving for his dorm. When he got to his room, he darted his eyes across the room.“Wow!” He gave a relieved sigh, as he slammed his body on his bed. “The roommates aren't around.He was relieved with the fact that his roommates weren't in the room currently, otherwise he would have to exhaust himself trying to find an excuse as to why he was wearing a formal suit.“I should get up and dress up quickly.” He stood up from the bed, and changed into the formal suit.Having done that, he went to the standing long mirror adjacent to Milo's bed. He went there to check himself out.“Heave!” Anyone staring at Nolan now would be completely flabbergasted. The low-key ye
The four roommates maintained a collective silence, their expressions solemn, evidently signaling to Nolan their lack of interest in hearing any excuses.Nolan offered a hesitant smile, understanding their message from their solemn demeanor.He pursed his lips before speaking up. "You guys needn't wear such serious expressions. This suit was gifted to me by someone, so I can't attest to its value or whether it's as expensive as you suggest."“Hmph!” Chris merely shrugged in response, seemingly unconcerned with Nolan's explanation.Nolan glanced at him with a faint smile, choosing not to say anything further."Why would someone be so generous as to give you a suit, and for what reason?" Chandler questioned, his tone tinged with suspicion.They all fixed their gaze on Nolan, hoping to detect any hint of falsehood in his eyes, but Nolan's blank expression made it impossible for them to discern anything.Nolan responded, clearly. “Well, an event is happening at the man's hotel and since I
