The stern countenance of the principal etched itself onto their features. "What's happening here?" he demanded.Frog man hastily stepped forward. "Principal, please don't concern yourself. We're simply engaged in some casual conversation."The other gatekeepers observed Frog man's swift fabrication. Despite their awareness of his dishonesty, they refrained from exposing him, partly due to their disdain for Nolan's indifferent and occasionally rude demeanor.The principal remained silent, shifting his attention to Nolan. "Why did you summon me?" he asked, his gaze icy.Nolan glanced at the forced expression on the principal's face, suppressing a laugh internally. He surmised that the principal likely had no intention of intervening, but curiosity or unresolved queries might have prevented him from disregarding Nolan's.Nolan pursed his lips, before opening them back to speak. “The gate man on duty refuses me leaving the school gate.” He shortly, spoke.While speaking, his taunting gaz
Nolan, irritatingly, inquired. “Why can't I go in? Others are allowed inside, so why am I being stopped.”The security guard stared at him one more time, before saying solemnly. “You're with no invite cards so how could you be allowed in?” Nolan frowned, before understanding what the security guard was saying.“Oh, an invitation card!” He gasps, at the realization.Immediately, he moved his hands to his pocket to check for the golden card Paul gave him the other day. However, he didn't find it.“Oh dammit!” He inwardly cursed. He had forgotten to bring the golden invite card over, due to his roommates hovering around him.He sighed, before returning his gaze back to the security guard. “Mm.” He paused. “Is it possible to be granted entrance into the hotel without an invite card?”“Absolutely no! Just leave!” The security guard curtly said.Nolan gave a dark expression. He hadn't expected the security guard to still speak to him curtly, even after he had spoken politely to him.Even i
He posed the question out of sheer curiosity, eager to understand the conditions he needed to meet.Nolan let out a chuckle before responding, his tone light. “Just kneel and ask for forgiveness. I'll depart if you comply.”The security guard regarded Nolan with a mixture of incredulity and concern. “Are you feeling alright?” he asked, his gaze searching for any signs of instability.Nolan shrugged, his posture defensive. “I'm perfectly fine,” he muttered dismissively.“I'm not so sure about that. Why else would you be in your right mind and demand that I kneel before you?” The security guard's disbelief was palpable as he voiced his skepticism. “If this is some sort of jest, I implore you to cease immediately!”Nolan observed the security guard's solemn and skeptical expression with amusement, a smirk playing on his lips.“Why would I joke about something like this? You're hardly worth the effort,” he retorted, his tone becoming more serious. “When I told you to kneel, I meant it.”T
As he watched them approach him, his heart tightened.When they fully approached them, he could see their stern and more professional expression. The security was merely an hired gate keeper, not a professional trained security, so he was immediately suppressed by their aura.Confusion ecthed on his face, as he mumbled inwardly. “Why did they stop right in front of me?” His mind was filled with thought, as to what they had approached him for, and why they were gazing at him sternly. He could recall ever messing with any of them, so perplexity filled his mind.Meanwhile, Nolan on the other hand was just as stunned as the security man, but that was for a short while. He quickly grasp the situation, and returned to a calm look.“Excuse me. What's wrong?” The security had already regained his senses, so he inquired.The bodyguards lower their heads and stared at the security, but not a single word came out from their mouth.Just when the security was about questioning then once more, a
“You're the one he was referring to as a young master?” He inquired while stuttering.While questioning, his gaze unconscious fell on Nolan's appearance. He couldn't see anything worth connecting with the young master entitlement.However, seconds into his inspection, his eyes suddenly widened. “Gasp!” He darted his eyes continuously, with his eyes fixed on Nolan's suit.“Why haven't I noticed this before?” He smacked his forehead, in self blame.From the beginning, he had been so occupied with Nolan not having an invite card, that he failed to understand Nolan's true identity.“Are you done staring?” Nolan's loud yet taunting voice sounded.“You…!” The security didn't mind Nolan's taunting words. He was mostly concerned about his identity.Cold sweat dropped off his face, as his thoughts wandered far.The security turned to the frost looking Elijah. He wanted to say something, but his words hung in his throat, after being confronted with a cold glare.“You must be really having a de
Nolan raised an eyebrow curiously before speaking, his tone carrying a hint of intrigue. "And what, pray tell, is it that you wish to discuss with me?"He was intrigued to see how the security personnel intended to go about seeking forgiveness from him.The security guard's initially frustrated mindset began to ease slightly upon hearing Nolan's words. "Perhaps there's still hope," he murmured to himself, his inner enthusiasm sparked by the possibility.He had anticipated Nolan's scorn and expected him to refuse to listen, but Nolan's composed demeanor suggested there might be a slim chance for redemption.However, little did the security guard realize that he had misinterpreted Nolan's calm demeanor for something else entirely.Elijah observed the exchange quietly, reluctant to believe that Nolan would show leniency toward the security guard despite his disrespectful behavior.Although he hadn't been fully informed of the situation by Nolan's text message, Elijah might have been incl
Nolan never looked back for once, he stride towards the hotel entrance and entered. Walking towards the receptionist, he spoke, cooly. “Where is the party going on?” He had glanced around and couldn't see anything that looks like party event.The female receptionist whose head was on a file, raised her head up to gaze at Nolan. She briefly inspect him, before respectfully responding. “Goodday sir, the party is going on at the other side of the hotel. It's at the event hall.”Nolan noticed her professionalism, and couldn't help but smile. She wasn't rude like the security, perhaps it was because of she thought, that for him to have pass the security check point means he'd an invite card.“Uh, I don't really know where the so called hall is.” Nolan spoke out.From the receptionist description, he couldn't get the exact direction of the hall, after all, it was his first time here.“Oh.” The receptionist have an apologetic smile. “Mm, hold on.” Her eyes darted around, and it fell on so
As everyone cast disgusted glances at his stained appearance, he lifted his head to meet their eyes."Why did you do that?" He inquired calmly, though his anger simmered beneath the surface.The person who had caused the red wine to spill on him was dressed in a standard white and black uniform, typically worn by the waitstaff. Nolan immediately recognized them as an employee.The waiter stuttered nervously, realizing the gravity of the situation. He could only recall passing by with a tray of wine when someone bumped into him, causing his hands to slip and the wine to spill.Struggling to regain his composure, the waiter managed to speak. "Sir… I-I didn't do it on purpose. Someone bumped into me, causing my hand to slip and the wine to spill onto you.”He quickly gave out a hurried explanation. His face was etched with anxiety, afterall he was nothing but a nobody waiter here, and such an incident can result in him losing his job.Nolan glances at his already teary eyes, making his h
