Exiting the boutique, Nolan wore a delighted expression. The unexpected joy stemmed from acquiring the clothing designs he truly admired. The chauffeur, spotting him in the distance, promptly waved."Young master, you've arrived," he greeted with a slight bow.Nolan had become acknowledged as the household's young master, not only due to his status as the master's son but also as the heir apparent to the Dawson family's considerable wealth. Nolan acknowledged the greetings with a nod before addressing the attendant beside him."Place the clothes in the car," he instructed.The attendant nodded and began placing the packaged clothes into the car. However, it became evident that there was an excess, causing the attendant to worry about where to store the remaining packages.Noticing the attendant's unease, Nolan promptly intervened. "Don't worry about it; just take the extra clothes back to the boutique. Someone will retrieve them later in the day."The attendant took the extra clothes
Nolan wore a gentle smile as he descended the stairs and approached them."Hello, everyone," Nolan greeted more casually. Recognizing the warmth of the atmosphere, he felt no need to maintain a reserved or serious demeanor."Hello, Nolan," his aunt spoke with a smile."Kristen, let me have a seat first before talking to him," Mr. Dawson reprimanded Nolan's aunt."Oops, you're right," Kristen smacked her head. "Come, have your seat, Nolan."Without formality, Nolan promptly took his seat, his eyes briefly scanning the dining table in front of him.Various dishes adorned the table, each belonging to a distinct culinary category that tantalized the taste buds. The array of delectable options was mouthwatering, leaving him speechless when he inquired."Isn't this an excessive amount of food?"His query, though unexpected, garnered a response from Aunt Kristen. "We've prepared this feast especially for you. Since it's your first meal here, it has to be exceptional.""Oh," Nolan replied wit
The following morning, Vivian stayed true to her promise. After bathing and changing, she hastily made her way to Nolan's room.Tap tapShe lightly tapped on the door to alert him to her presence.Meanwhile, Nolan was enjoying a deep and peaceful sleep, completely oblivious to the tapping on his door.Tap tapVivian intensified her knocking, her face displaying irritation."Why isn't Nolan answering? Is he still asleep?" she questioned herself with a frustrated sigh.As the knocking persisted, Nolan continued to sleep soundly, it was clear he didn't put today's plan in his head before falling asleep yesterday."Argh! Nolan, get out of that room now!" she yelled loudly, realizing her knocks had no effect.She even began to wonder if Nolan was awake but intentionally ignoring her. Frustrated, she stormed downstairs.Upon reaching the ground floor, she found her mother and Mr. Dawson enjoying a cup of coffee."Uncle, I just came back from Nolan's room, and he's not responding to me." She
Nolan's face transformed into a frown as he silently observed the stylist being dismissed. Shouldn't the stylist be able to maintain his composure? Otherwise, why would they address him in such a disrespectful manner?Vivian also noticed the unfolding situation and swiftly moved closer to Nolan, whispering softly, "Are they from an affluent family?" She inquired.That was the only explanation she could think of for their impoliteness. However, doubt lingered in her mind. The two men she was observing appeared more like troublemakers than individuals from a wealthy background. How could they casually walk into such an upscale stylist shop and create chaos?She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the loud and abrasive words of the hefty man. "You rascal! Haven't we informed you that our young master will be here soon, and you're supposed to assist him with styling and cutting his hair? What the hell are you trying to do now?""Oh, so that's it," Nolan gasped in realization, final
No one understood Vivian better than herself. She would never tolerate anyone looking down on her loved ones, regardless of the situation.When she saw Nolan about to be punched, remaining motionless was out of the question.While Nolan may not have noticed the impending punch, Vivian had already spotted it and acted swiftly.Glaring at the man's unpleasant face, she spat, "You buffalo! Do you even know who you're dealing with? Are you aware of the identity of the person you were about to slap, huh? If I hadn't acted swiftly and stopped your foolish hand from touching his face, I'm certain you would never have been able to use that hand again!" She spoke ruthlessly.Her expression clearly conveyed seriousness, and no one dared to dismiss her words lightly. However, skepticism lingered among the onlookers. They couldn't simply accept her claim that Nolan's identity was special; she might be exaggerating. Such thoughts circulated in everyone's mind as whispers filled the room.Unperturb
"Hehe, officers, you've finally arrived. I'm the one who extended the invitation." Disregarding the bewildered onlookers, Vivian approached them wearing a gentle smile."Oh, so you're the one who summoned us to apprehend a few individuals, correct?" Inquired one of the six men, who appeared to be the leader.Vivian burst into laughter, seemingly oblivious to the mention of arrest. "Certainly, that's why I brought you here," she declared emphatically.Gasp!Could it be that when she spoke of their young master facing consequences, she was alluding to his potential arrest? How audacious!The faces of the two subordinates had lost all color at that moment. If their young master were to be arrested, they knew they would face consequences from the young master's father for allowing his son to create chaos outside. "Hey, what's the meaning of all this? Why would you call the police for such a minor issue?" Like his subordinates, the young master was also frightened.He dreaded the thought
Liam's smile held a bitter edge as he recognized Vivian's taunting. Despite his earlier comments about Vivian making a fool of herself, the tables had turned, and now Liam found himself in a precarious position. Refusing to yield, Liam continued his plea. "Please, I'm willing to follow your orders, but spare my family from harm." The pallor on his face deepened, a stark contrast to his usual demeanor. His father's revelation about the family business being on the brink of ruin had left Liam desperate for forgiveness. Vivian scoffed dismissively, "Hmph! You're wasting your time. I won't show mercy to someone as worthless as you." Those staring were confused about the exchange of words between the duo, but what they were certain about was that Liam had messed with the wrong people. They shook their heads, casting pitiful glances at him. Liam's two subordinates, mirroring his distress, began to panic as they gauged the severity of the issue from Liam's expressions. Liam's mind wa
After repeatedly checking his hair, he finally ceased with a slight smile. Returning to Vivian's side, he presented a composed demeanor. "Have you checked your hair? Can you now see I'm not joking?" Vivian asked with excitement. "Yes, yes. Now, let's go handle the payments." With that statement, they both proceeded to the cashier's table. Nolan insisted on settling the bill and declined Vivian's attempt to pay, revealing he had a substantial amount of money on his card. With the bills paid, Vivian and Nolan exited the salon shop together. As they emerged, an exhilarating loud voice reached their ears. "Vivian!" Nolan and Vivian, both taken aback, pivoted towards the source of the voice. A bit of distance away, two males and two females approached with evident excitement, slowly closing in on Vivian and Nolan. Nolan withheld his words, pursing his lips. The familiar smiles on their faces indicated they were acquainted with Vivian. "Ah, you all made it." Upon their nearing pr
Even with the questions circulating around, no one has an answer to it. There was just a lot of speculation going around in their minds.However, there was one thing everyone concluded on, and that was “it must be something unfortunate.”They couldn't believe what would make Zachary have such drastic discoloring expression was anything near good.Soon after, Zachary hung up the call, but the look on his face was enough to tell everyone how severe the issue was.“Zachary, who called you just now?” One of his friends walked over to him and asked.Zachary remained silent but at the end, he still responded. “My sister,” he said, softly.Everyone became even more confused. If it is just a call from his sister, then what caused such a reaction like this from him?“Why did your sister call you? Isn't she aware you're in school now?” The question persisted. Even after hearing the question, Zachary remained completely lifeless and blank. It was a complete opposite of his usual arrogant demean
“Don't worry, I'll handle everything,” Nolan said, looking overly calm.Edmond sighed, as he assessed Nolan's unusual calmness. Even if he wanted to believe in Nolan, he just couldn't stay calm.With his eyes fixed on Nolan, he tried persuading. “Nolan, we're in their school, not ours. I don't think you should act in haste, and say something that's not possible,” Even if he knew his words seemed somehow hurtful to Nolan pride, he couldn't help but spill out. It was his job as his friend to make sure to remain Nolan properly in order not to make any mistake out of rash decision.Nolan remained quiet, uncertain of his next move aside from a nervous chuckle. "Do you think I'm at a disadvantage?" he inquired."Absolutely. You're seriously disadvantaged if you go head-to-head against Zachary," Edmond nearly shouted.He hoped his words sank in for Nolan. Seriously, what made Nolan think he had the upper hand here? He was completely immersed in their school environment, not like they were a
"Indeed, that's correct," Vivian affirmed with a nod, agreeing with my observation. "James resembles Zachary, but on a larger scale. He's even more infamous than the foolish Zachary."Nolan remained silent as Vivian continued speaking. "I've heard that James' demeanor stems from being the son of a wealthy man, possibly a politician," she added.Nolan gasped in realization, comprehending Vivian's words.Noticing Nolan's expression, Vivian furrowed her brows, indicating she had more to say.Observing her demeanor, Nolan inquired, "What's with that look? Do you have something else on your mind?""It's nothing, just curious how you ended up crossing paths with James, especially since it's your first time at my school," Vivian replied."I don't even know who James is, so how could I have intentionally interacted with him?" Nolan responded."Are you certain?" Vivian wasn't questioning Nolan's honesty but seemed perplexed."Yes, I am," Nolan affirmed calmly. "By the way, do you have any addi
Just like Vivian and Nolan, everyone else was also interested in knowing who Zachary claimed to be more daring than he's.With interest brewing in everyone's, they waited to hear what Zachary had to say.Seeing their interested faces, Zachary sneered in disdain. “Why are you looking so afraid?” His question wasn't directed at anyone, other than Nolan. Nolan noticed Zachary gaze on him, but he just ignored him, with no intent of wanting to exchange words with me.However, Zachary wasn't ready to let's go. He gave a meaningful smile, before sayiong. “Why are you looking afraid?” He asked again.It was obvious to everyone that he was trying to get Nolan provoked or perhaps angry. Everyone silently watched the both of them. Although they were getting impatient to hearing what Zachary has to say but his earlier words, however they could do nothing other than to wait.Nolan smirked, and replied this time. “What should I be afraid? Is it you?” He chuckled, “A female has actually labelled yo
The final speaker let out a derisive laugh. "Are you serious, Vivian? Do you even know who you're talking to?"Whispers began to ripple through the hall as all eyes turned to Vivian and the speaker, both female."What's gotten into Vivian? This isn't like her at all.""Yeah, she's usually so cautious. What's changed?""She's messing with Caira Lara."Caira Lara was one of the school's popular students, known for her troublesome behavior.What made it even more surprising was that Vivian had never interacted with Caira before. Everyone assumed she was either being cautious or outright afraid of her. But today's events seemed to cast a new light on the situation.Was Vivian not afraid of Caira Lara after all?Vivian sneered, at Ciara's words. “Of course yes. Isn't it obvious that you're Ciara. I only asked if you wanted a slap too, so just answer me that's all.”Once again, murmurs filled the hall, with everyone turning to themselves to engage in a discussion.Vivian must be indeed craz
"Relationship?" Nolan barely held back a laugh. The notion of him being romantically involved with his cousin was so absurd that it struck him as hilarious.But, he reasoned, they couldn't be blamed since they were unaware of the truth.Milo, Freddie, Chris, and the others all perked up at the surprising revelation."What in the world did we just hear? Nolan in a relationship?" Their eyes widened to the brink of disbelief.It was comical. The idea of Nolan being in a romantic entanglement had never crossed their minds, so hearing it now provoked amusement rather than seriousness."I have to ask again, are you two actually in a relationship?" Zachary's focus was not on the reactions of the students in the hall; rather, he was eager to uncover the truth.Vivian glared at Zachary, almost looking crazy. “Are you stupid or what? Why would you have such nonsense about us?”Zachary seethed his teeth, coldly. “Yes, I'm stupid if that's what you define my obsession. I can't help but think the
The eight hands that were about touching Nolan all held in the air.Everyone turned to the cold yet angry female voice.Nolan, on the other hand, was also curious so he turned to the familiar voice.Even without the voice stopping the Menz he was already prepared to teach them a lesson. How on earth do they think they would be allowed even the hem of his outfit.As everyone turned, they were even more shocked. “Vivian?” Everyone exclaimed all at once. Nolan was also surprised. Although he knew Vivian school here, he didn't know the extent of her popularity for all of them to call out at once.He straightened his clothes, before walking over to Vivian. “You're here.” The eyes of everyone widened at Nolan's casual tone towards Vivian.One even asked, amongst themselves. “He knows her?”“As you can see, I'm also shocked.”Vivian didn't react as Nolan had expected. He'd expected her to jump and shouted looking surprised and excited seeing him. Instead he got a hit on his shoulder.“Ah,
Everyone's breath seized as they watched the tension unfolding. What was Zachary doing? Chris moved closer to Micheal, as he whispered. “Is this how Hilltop students treat their teachers?” Michael puffs out a small laugh. It was obvious he finds this scene hilarious. “As you can see I'm also surprised. This Zachary is so gutsy.” He couldn't help but mock.They both returned their gaze at Zachary and Nelson.“You can't just say you've nothing to say. You need to prove him wrong by giving me some information about how the whole commotion started.” Nelson said, through seethed teeth.Although he was displeased by Zachary's harsh words, he couldn't lose his temper, as that wouldn't seem right in front of many students.Zachary rolled his eyes, before snorting. “Mr Nelson just return back to the staff room, and stop snooping into what's not your business.” He snapped, in retort.“Oh goodness!” Everyone's mouth widened, as they used their hands to close it. Did he just call Mr Nelson a s
While remaining upright, he casts a menacing glare at Nolan, aiming to instill intimidation and divert the focus of Nolan words onto another individual.Yet, his intentions falter as Nolan unexpectedly interjects with a demand, "Apologize to him!"“Another repeat?” Zachary mumbled inwardly.A hush falls over the hall, everyone holding their breath, intrigued as to whom Nolan is addressing.Most of the Hilltop students are unfamiliar with Nolan, as he is not part of their student body. However, Nolan's fearless demeanor piques their interest."Who is he?" one of the females exclaims. "I'm getting goosebumps. He's quite captivating.""How can you say he's captivating? Even if I don't like Zachary, it's not right for someone from our school to harass our peers."“Hmph. Zachary must have started it first. I don't think this charming guy started it.”They all began to argue. Since their perspectives are all different, it was normal for them to have an argument.“Well, even if Zachary start
