At The Peak Of Greatness

Chapter 9

Suddenly all eyes were locked on Clinton. Shock and surprised was written all over everyone's faces.

They had know Clinton like how they knew their house cat. He was so poor that he used to skip classes just to go works as cleaner at some bar.

Not only that, when Clinton was at Second year at the University, he was employed as the school janitor.

Because of this he became infamous. That every girl will use his name as a punch line to tease other girls. 'That girl is not even worthy of the school lowest ranked boy, Clinton. Hahaha'

They would always say.

The sudden turn out of events was too hard for them to accept.

How can someone they looked down so much on, unexpectedly buy an expensive item that even they couldn't buy?

Especially Sanderson. He was the one who has been insulting Clinton more. As he deemed him to be below his status.

However, the tides had turned so sudden and now, he was on the losing end. He had spent a lot to buy the ruby bracelet. It was only until now that he realized he had been scammed.

Even an Immitation would been better than what he had bought.

If words about the matter goes out, it will stain his good reputation!

As the son of a very rich business man, he was supposed to stand at the peak and live his life, always trampling on people like like Clinton.

He glance at Clinton and found him smiling. This unsettled him.

Did Clinton win some lottery? He just couldn't understand how he was able to buy that bracelet all by himself!

He has been enjoying all the attention for himself until Clinton reeled in and smash everything.

"So you are now rich aren't you?"

Clinton smiled and replied him. "You may call it however you wish, either I'm rich or not, it doesn't concern you"

Sanderson wanted to smash his head into the tables. "How dare you turn arrogant In front of me. I asked you a question."

Clinton, however didn't bother looking at him, instead he turned to look at Xavier. "I thought you said you will worship me if I could ever buy an item worth 10,000$."

Xavier was already going through trauma but when she heard Clinton, she squeezed her face as if she wanted to die right there.

Offcourse she was saying that just to tease him, but little did she expect him to actually buy an item worth 200,000$. "Clinton. Just because you bought an item like that doesn't me you are now rich. Looking at how you are behaving, you might have already spent all of it."

Xavier found Clinton silenced when she said that. She started thinking maybe what she was saying was having a toll on Clinton, which encouraged her to say more.

"You are just showing off with just the little amount you have weren't you? You must have won some lottery, But what I know is that quickly gained wealth never last long."

In response to what she was saying, Clinton smirked. "And who said I'm showing off? If you hadn't challenged me, I would have been long gone by now... So you just have to..."

Clinton stopped his words after he felt someone hands hanging around his shoulders.

Looking at the person, Clinton was stunned.

It was a girl from the Arts department. She was not mostly recognized on campus since she was always hanging out with big shots in town.

She was only known by a few people in the school.

Clinton, having worked as a cleaner had seen her not once but in many occasions.

And it was not good.

She was kissing some rich heir from the music Department, and that wasn't the strange part, she switched to a richer guy from the Languages department the next week.

Knowing how many boys she had been with before, Clinton removed her hands from her shoulders.

"Bianca, can I help you with something?"

She smiled, revealing the nice set of white teeth behind her pink lips. "No. I was just making sure you feel comfortable"

Clinton said to her honestly. "I'm not interested in you"

"Oh come on Clinton, what don't you like about me? Tell me?"

Clinton shook his head. "it's not about your you is about your behavior"

"What's with my attitude? Do you wish for me to change, I will do so for you"

Clinton felt tongue tied.

What is he supposed the say in this moment.

Being straight forward with her now will also be rude.

"please can you remove your hands from my shoulders?"

"I don't think so. You like me don't you?"

She brought her hands to her lower section and blinked at Clinton.

"Don't you want to have fun with me after the party?"

Clinton cheeks turned red. Knowing that there were a lot of people looking at him now, he felt uncomfortable.

"Please, I don't want anything as such. Just leave me alone" he said with a tone of finality.

"Fine. But think about it soon" Bianca swayed her waist and walk slowly to the chair she was once sitting at.

Clinton breathed in a sigh of relief!

So this is how people will be treating him now?

Clinton nodded his head and turned back to Xavier, who was now having an annoyance look on her face. Clinton didn't want to know about her feelings and thoughts as that was not his concerns anyway.

"So you remember what you said?"

Xavier snorted. "You expect me to actually worship someone like you? What if you are suddenly rich. You are just a piece of trash in my eyes"

Though what she said was funny to the onlookers, they couldn't bring themselves to laugh.

The sudden change of events about Clinton's mysterious wealth was still on their minds.

They were all watching both Clinton and Xavier as they exchange words to each other.

"Why don't you do it now. As a nice girl like yourself, being honest with your words makes you worthy to be a wife material"

"You!.." Xavier frowned in bitterness. Her mouth kept twitching but no words came out.

"What? Are you going to back down on your words?" Clinton asked, feeling good.

Seeing Xavier like that made his heart settled. All the pain he once felt because of her was not yet healed.

The scene of Xavier having sex with Sanderson was still fresh on gis mind.

For someone he once loved that much, it might take years before he will ever forget about it.
