The mansion was quiet in an early morning light, Jack stirred in the plush bed. The events of the previous night were still fresh in his mind. He didn’t plan to sleep at the mansion, but because he couldn’t return, he decided to sleep over. He rose from the bed, dressed and was ready to face the activity of the day, he was determined to keep his identity a secret. Breakfast was served promptly in the dining hall; awaiting him was a freshly baked croissant, fruit platters, and an assortment of delicacies. Kelvin Wang stood by the side; Jack glanced at him.“Why are you standing there, come join me.” He said with his voice barely above a whisper.“I am sorry but I can’t, young master.” Jack frowned his face, “It’s an order, if you’re not eating with me, I am not taking a bite ” Kelvin Wang inhaled and exhaled softly, staring at Jack whose arms were folded below his chest. “Okay, I will.” He said, pulling out a seat and joining Jack.The two began, and Jack smiled.“Master, will you
Jordan Norman felt relief seeing the chief security officer of the estate coming towards them. His face was etched with confidence.“I ask again, What is going on here?” Why were you pressing him? Do you know who he is and who are you? What are you doing in this estate?’ He questioned with a thunderous expression that engulfed him.Philip inhaled softly and was about to utter a word when Jordan stepped in, “He is a nuisance; I saw him sneak out of this mansion,” he said, pointing at the house behind. “I tried to confront him to know what he is doing here because I know him; he is an errand boy at Crestview. But instead of giving an honest answer, he threatened to deal with me. He even wanted to kill me, I believe he is here to steal if not why would he be sneaking out.” The chief security turned with a frowned face, his gaze fixed on Jack; he glanced at him from head to toe. He knew Jordan stayed around the estate. But, has not seen Jack anywhere around. “You are among those people
Chapter 26 “What is it, Master?” Kelvin said with his voice barely above a whisper. “Some people are accusing me of sneaking out of my mansion. I would like you to step out. There are other things you would do for me.” He stated. Kelvin Wang furrowed his face, he was shocked to know his master was still around the estate when he thought he had gone to school. He wondered who would have dared to accuse his master. “I will be down in a jiffy,” he uttered politely before the call line got dead. The blaring of the siren was heard from a mile away. The police car came to a halt, with two uniformed men stepping out. “Are you done making a fake call? Because we know you don’t know anyone?” Jordan Norman said. “Let’s watch and see how things play out at the end,” Jack muttered. “Officers thank goodness you arrived on time.” The guard said. “What is going on here?” one of the officers asked. The chief security officer began explaining to the officers; Jack frowned his face upon hear
“I am standing with one of your students, his name is Jordan Norman. I guess you know him.”“Yes, I do.” She replied with a low voice.Jack purposely left the call on a loudspeaker for Everyone to grasp what he was doing. Jordan was left stunned; from the voice, he could tell who the caller on the other end was. “What is he planning?” he said Inwardly, as fear and disgrace engulfed his body.“I want him expelled from Crestview University immediately; people like him are not worthy to be in Crestview.”Mrs. Stephanie’s words hung in her throat; she couldn’t believe what she just heard. She was engrossed with fear but wouldn’t dare to disobey Jack’s order. “But, sir, it will not be as easy as you think.” She spoke out in a throaty tone.“I don’t care how, but I want it done in the next few minutes or you lose your job.”“No, sir. I don’t want to lose my job. I will do that immediately.” She pleads.“Good, I will be expecting feedback.” Jordan let out an evil smirk, “Do you think it
The car came to a halt a few steps away from the school gate, Jack stepped down and waved at Kelvin Wang before he rushed into the school premises.“Is that not Jack?’ “Who is the man who brought him to school?”“Maybe the man felt pity for him after listening to his pathetic story; if not, why do you think such a rich man would want to give him a lift to school.” Another student said.“Today is such a mysterious day. Jordan Norman’s family is fighting to save their business, and now we just saw Jack the errand boy, coming out of an expensive car. I am blessed to have witnessed this day.” Another student said in sarcasm.The students laughed at his words, they continued with what they were doing before Jack’s arrival interrupted them.The black Audi drove and parked at the gate of Crestview with the figure staring at the school gate.Jack was trying to control his breathing pace when he arrived at the entrance of the class, He hoisted his head to see the lecturer staring at him.“Ja
Jack moved to take a look at who just made the statement and found Anna standing beside him. “No, I didn’t. why would I do such.” He replied politely.Anna sat beside Jack, “Nothing, I just felt like asking. Tell me why did you come to school late, it’s unlike you. And you know I don’t believe the lie you said in class earlier.”Jack sighed softly, his gaze fixed on her. “I was busy with something, that’s why.” “I understand, but no problem. Here is my note for today’s lecture, remember to return it when you are through.” Anna said as she placed the notebook on the desk. She smiled at Jack before walking out of the classroom.Jack kept a smiling face; his smile was interrupted by one of the rude students in class. “Hey, Errand boy. Why are you smiling.” Jack didn’t pay attention to his words; he took the book, shoved it into his back and left the class.Arriving at Mr Giorgio’s office, he knocked twice before a voice spoke from inside. “Come in.” He said as usual.Jack walked in; h
Harry and Barbara were both seated across each other, with varieties of food placed before them. His expression was a mixture of awe and confusion. At first, he was scared and had to whisper to the manager, who couldn’t help but smile.“Everything has been settled, you don’t have to worry.”“Settled, by who?” Harry asked.The manager patted his back, “Some questions should be left unanswered. Have a great time. The servants would attend to you; a room has been kept for you in case you need to make use of it. You can inform them, and they will guide you to the room,” He muttered before walking away.Harry nodded, he couldn’t believe what was happening around him. Everything seemed confusing to him, but he knew if the manager refused to speak up, then only one person could give him the answer to his questions, which was Jack.He smiled and moved back to sit with Barbara; they ate slowly, exchanging glances at each other with a smile.“This place is nice and their foods taste good,” Barb
Vivian returned home feeling provoked and disappointed; she walked past the maid, ignoring their greetings. Her mind was a mixture of anger and sadness. She was expecting to have a good conversation with Jack, but things didn’t go as planned. She was walking past when a hand gripped her from behind; she turned her gaze and saw her ex-boyfriend, Mike Weston. He gave her a romantic look, but she felt irritated by his presence.“What are you doing here, I thought I informed you it’s over between us. Why can’t you get that into your skull.” “Why are you acting this way to me, you know I love you. I am sorry for the way things turned out the other day. It was never meant to happen.” “Mike, I don’t care. I just want you out of my life, I have found someone else I love. And I don’t want to see you anywhere close to me.” She warned.Mike tried to hold her hand but she refused, moving back from his grip.Vivian frowned her Face, giving him a cold glance. “Stay Away from me,” she yelled wal
