There was an immediate rampage in the hall. Everyone thought that she was there for Kelly, at least.Who would have believed that such a lady came for such a renowned punk like Christopher.On the other end, Kelly could feel a sense of irritation, anger, and jealousy all at once. Nobody had ever turned him down or treated him in such a rude manner before.He was already gritting under his breath, swearing that he was certainly going to make sure that she paid for it by making her his girlfriend and dumping her before leaving school.Meanwhile, Christopher looked up to catch a glimpse of the stunning lady who was smiling at him; it was Evelyn.Even though they had already seen each other earlier, she could not stop being beautiful by the day.Everyone was at least expecting a hug, but before anyone could know what was going on, she drew him to herself and gave him a tight hug as though they had known each other for ages.Hearts flew out of their places. Legs shook. The jaws were far ap
Christopher's heart hammered against his ribs, caught between the exhilaration of Evelyn's bold claim and the dread of its potential consequences. He stole a glance at Silver, her usually willful face contorted in a mixture of fury and disbelief. The revelation had provoked a firestorm in the hall, whispers crackling like flames.Evelyn, unaware of the unrest, held his gaze with a playful glint in her eyes. "So, Chris, do you care to introduce me to your lovely audience?" She purred, her voice laced with a mischievous lilt.Christopher cleared his throat, feeling the weight of a thousand eyes on him. He couldn't bring himself to lie, not with Evelyn looking at him like that. Yet the thought of revealing his secret—his hidden world of historical writings—filled him with a paralyzing fear.Those leather-bound journals tucked away in his attic, filled with meticulous recreations of forgotten battles and whispered tales of ancient civilizations, were his sanctuary. They were a world he'd
As Christopher lay stretched out on his bed, his hands crossed behind his head and his eyes staring wondrously at the ceiling, the sound returned. He was not startled, he was far too used to the system that he serves by now. Another interface is about to occur and another task is yet to be rolled out and assigned to him.[Ding]"What's up this time?"Christopher muttered below his breath, turning reluctantly over to his right side and swallowing as if it enhanced his readiness for the system.[Attention, there's a need for the host to listen carefully]. Christopher adjusts his body just when he hears this, once more as though a personal contribution for attention to the already calm atmosphere.[Host has two other new tasks to complete][Host is required to click two options rather than one option this time]Christopher pays rapt attention to the system's instructions. As usual, he knew he would have to click on the dark mysterious button, but this time, two buttons at a time as he had
“Chris! Chris!” A male voice is calling out after him. Gerald runs at full speed after Christopher, who is already way out of sight towards the school hall.Catching up with Christopher, Gerald gallops to a halt and calls out again. "Chris!, wait!" We need to get a cab to the site. "We were out for a meal with Kelly and his girlfriend when the thugs came. I have no idea where they came from.""So, where are they now?" Christopher asks with more concern, and his left eye twitches. Looking down his left arm for a moment, he clenches his left fist to reveal his muscular arm. "I've no idea," Gerald responds blankly."I was only out with the duo to have my share of friendship, and in a millisecond, they were bundled up into a white Ferrari, and in another flash, it had already sped off."What could have been the reason for the embarrassing abduction of someone of Kelly's successful pseudo-calibre? Christopher wonders, lifting his head, trying to think out a solution fast to bring Silver, e
At home, Silver is sobbing hard in her bathroom."Oh goodness gracious, I believed Kelly would be my everything; how dare he allow those stinky rogues to lay their forbidden hands on me?" Arrrrrrrr” Silver lets out another big scream while replaying how the thugs mishandled her in batches of flashes through her head.In a very disgusted state, Silver tries to remove her scattered hair from her face. She turns to peer into the mirror to see the greatest shock of her life. She lets out another scream, and fresh tears start to pour again."I can't believe that Kelly is good for nothing, asshole; his immunity and power in the town are false; he cannot protect himself, let alone his girlfriend." I trusted him with my whole self, Silver said stupidly. Silver cannot bear the weight of shame that her boyfriend's carelessness has brought upon her. "How shameful; that was a disgrace!" Silver says, almost bursting into another scream."I must call Clara and tell her.Silver grunts amid sobs. The
"Silver ?""Yes, handsome?" Silver responds with a seductive voice, trying to be alluring with her smile as much as possible.Silver is dressed in a thigh-length, hot red mini-sleeveless gown, exposing her shapely, sumptuous legs and curves. A silver necklace hangs on her neck, and this draws attention to her models like collar bone and full blossom. Her long, black, lush hair partly covers her face, and she makes a feminine effort to dress it aside. She wears magenta lipstick, and the dangerously seductive fragrance of her perfume quickly hit Christopher's nostrils once she walked in. She walks slowly towards Christopher in six-inch shiny silver heels, in the most torturous way a woman could be. Each meander towards Christopher made his eyes dazzle. She's sexy; he cannot deny the fact.Even though Christopher is moved by his ex-girlfriend's sexiness, he is still firm in his discretion."What brings you here? Why do you barge into my room without knocking first?" Christopher questions
"Tell me what this business proposal is about."[System receiving host's question][System processing host question][Host question interpreted][The proposal is a business idea pitch, which the host must partake in.][There will be an evaluation team that will decide the validity of the host business idea.][Hosts should look for hints for success and grab opportunities once sighted.]The three huge dots now appear before Christopher knows what to do.[The host should select an option and save us time.][Whatever the host selects will determine the complexity of the assignment.]Christopher braces up and clicks on the first black square dot.[Congratulations! The host has just selected a sophisticated proposal option.][The host will be pitching a great idea to people of high social ranks.][The host has five business days to complete the project submission.][Interface over][Host retreating to space][Ding!]"People of high caliber?"

“You see, there's an upcoming mega proposal pitching event that had been in the government's plan for months ago now.The plan is to invite business-minded individuals to pitch their ideas and get endorsements from investors and other forms of funding. However,there are selected niches that will be qualified for funding and investment, and any participant that pitches an idea from unincluded industries will not be qualified.”"How did you know so much about the business proposal event, Dad?“Have you forgotten that the rich must look for sustainable ways to get richer, my son? You seem to really underrate my influence and capacity," Mr. Frank said in a bass voice, and his bold laugh sounded rather like croaking."I know so many powerful officials in government; don't forget. I would have even bought the plan and saved myself the stress of guessing what the winning industries would be this year, but the secretary to the office lamented that the present governor is a no-nonsense man who
