"Oh, nothing," he said when his friend Andrew asked what was going on. William tried to smile, but his eyes couldn't hide the anxiety."I have to go," William said, trying to ease the anxiety that was starting to build up inside him."Where are you going?" asked Andrew"On business," William replied briefly. He knew he couldn't say much more. There were things that were better left a secret.Sebastian snorted. "You're always busy." He said in a half-joking and half-serious tone.William laughed. "Yeah, you know I'm busy." He replied in a light tone. Then, said goodbye to his friends and walked towards his car that was parked nearby.William intended to use it to go somewhere. However, it seemed unlikely. Some students still seemed to be watching who the car belonged to.William stopped, frozen in place. He felt like he was in the center of the stage, with all eyes on him. Suddenly, a loud voice broke the silence."Hey, William!" shouted Jordan. His voice was loud enough to attract the
William arranged a plan for Andrew. He worked with the store manager to organize a fake lottery. No matter what happens, Andrew can get his dream shoes. And, William was confident that with his potential, Andrew could get the shoes.When everything was ready, William told his friend."Take this participant coupon." William showed him a coupon. "Store A is holding an event to celebrate their ever-increasing sales. There is a special event for holders of this coupon to participate."Andrew looked doubtful, his eyes looking at William suspiciously. "Are you sure about this lottery?"William nodded, smiling. "I'm sure," he replied. He handed back the coupon. "Take this. They say that if you're lucky, the grand prize is a pair of trainers that you can choose from."Andrew's eyes widened, looking at the lottery coupon in his hand. Maybe he would be lucky this time.Andrew accepted the raffle ticket from William. Then, he looked at William and asked, "Why don't you take this prize yourself?"
Robert's eyes rounded in shock. His face paled, as if his blood was being sucked out. He stared at Tania with a look of disbelief. "This can't be," he cursed inwardly. Tania Brown was going out with William, the man who had always been the butt of jokes on their campus. This was truly an absurd drama that made no sense. "Ms. Brown," Robert said rather haughtily, "this William is just a loser on campus, you're not wrong to ask him to go with you?" Steven stepped forward, stood beside Robert and added, "Yes, I did. I think your self-esteem would fall if you were really going out with him." Tania stepped forward, her gaze sharp and challenging. There was a strong aura emanating from her, making Steven and Robert feel depressed. "You guys, young people with nothing to do," Tania said, mocking back. "Whoever I want to go with, it's really none of your business." Robert understood. He knew Tania was a free woman and had the right to choose whoever she wanted. But for him, William was n
Oh my goodness, Tania had not even thought of a good place for their lunch, where now."Suit yourself. I'll follow your idea. Where do you want to eat?" Tania left the choice to William. William had no preparation to decide on a place since it was Tania who had asked him to have lunch this time. "I have no idea where to eat. But if you're going to leave the choice to me, take one more lap at the end of the alley, there will be a food truck. I think it would be a good idea to get a burger and a soda this afternoon." Tania was surprised by William's offer. "What?" The girl's eyes rounded at his offer. Didn't he have any other ideas that he had to offer food on the side of the road like that?Tania gave William a sharp look. "Oh my, William! I thought you were just an innocent boy at first, but as time goes on, you turn out to be cruel too." "I'm cruel?" William pointed at himself. "How can you say that?" Tania pursed her nose and lips. "Do you think with a slender body like this, I'
"Gosh, William, you're really annoying!" Tania grumbled after she discovered another fact about the fast food she had eaten."William laughed.""What's the matter?" he asked in a flat tone before finally taking another bite of the burger in his hand, and taking a sip of his soda.Tania did not answer. She ate another burger and also took a sip of soda.The woman growled. She was annoyed why enjoying food like this could feel so good.Had she not eaten food like this for too long? So much so that the savory taste of fat and oil was so delicious on her tongue.William watched as Tania continued to enjoy the food, after she had initially refused it so adamantly."I told you, you'll love this," William was confident.Tania was annoyed, but she couldn't refuse to continue eating street food like this."Alright, this is the first and last time," Tania grumbled. "Next time I won't agree if you ask me to eat at a place like this again.""I'm not sure you'll refuse next time."Tania did not wa
William had been quite excited to watch Andrew's team's basketball game since yesterday. After all, it wasn't just any game, it was the much-anticipated city league final.However, as often happens in life, even the best laid plans can change in an instant. Just as William was about to leave campus and head to the stadium, he received a call from Evan reminding him that he had an important meeting with a business colleague."You guys go first, I'll catch up." William said to his friends. From the expressions shown, it seemed that William was a bit disappointed."Is there a problem?" Andy asked.William flashed a smile. "Nothing. I just need to meet someone to discuss some work matters.""William, you're too diligent. Even on weekends you still take work," Sebastian said.William patted Sebastian on the shoulder. "Bro, one day you'll understand why I'm so diligent."What he meant was that William was not only the owner of a large company, but he was also the head of the company and his
Andrew was furious at Jeremy's words. He felt that Jeremy was very unfair to William."Jeremy, that's not fair," Andrew said in a firm tone. "Jeremy, that's not fair," Andrew said firmly. "Just because you're the basketball team captain, can you do as you please?"Jeremy, who was much bigger than William and Andrew, approached them and pushed Andrew. A fight almost broke out.William felt uncomfortable seeing Andrew arguing with Jeremy for his sake. He knew how important relationships were between team members and he didn't want to be the reason for the division between them."Andrew, enough," William said. "Jeremy's right, I don't need to come."William gave Jeremy a sharp look. The man was deliberately looking for trouble with him."I'll go." William didn't want to cause trouble.Andrew looked at William, remembering the time when William gave him the coupon for free shoes. It was a very meaningful moment for Andrew. It was the moment he realized how valuable William was as a friend
They stared wide-eyed as the red Ferrari pulled away leaving a trail of dust in its wake. Their faces were flushed with deep shame.All of them had insulted William and considered him just a low-class man, now to slap them with something quite painful.Along with the disappearance of the dust left by the red Ferrari, Jordan was deeply embarrassed and his anger overflowed. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms."Damn it!" shouted Jordan, his voice filled with hatred. He kicked a small rock on the road hard, sending it flying far away. "Who the hell does he think he is, huh? Just because he has a Ferrari, he can humiliate us like this?"Robert, who was standing next to Jordan, squeezed his head. He let out a long breath, his eyes focused on the traces of dust still visible on the road. His face looked confused and full of questions."This is crazy!" She was also annoyed. "How can that hobo have such a fancy car!""Could his lottery winnings have bought that car?"
