"Mr Jetti, I have been anticipating your arrival," Mr Skye greeted respectfully as he poured out a cup of tea while Jed sat back and enjoyed the majestic view of the top office.The secretary looked stunned; no one has ever made his Ceo serve them tea before. He looked at Jed. He has heard the rumors of this boy being the forsaken illegitimate son of the Jetti's. Nothing special.Why then is the Ceo treating him specially?Jed's eyes glinted with a cold smile as he sipped the tea. Forsaken illegitimate son?"Actually, your card has been activated. We only needed your presence in the bank for confirmation," Mr Skye placed a black card which was tinted with gold. The secretary was speechless again. Only one person has this bank card and that is the Ceo himself. Who exactly is this Jedidiah Jetti?Jedidiah didn't utter a word as he took the card, flipped it over to take a look at it before keeping it safe in his pockets.Why call him to the bank when the card has already been activated?
Jed rubbed his chin thoughtfully. After a minute, he listed them,"I want a house that is close to the Elite campus or at least in the same vicinity. I want a house that is appropriate for a student. Not fancy and not too plain. And yes... With a great eco-friendly view."The agent already had a list of houses in mind. He quickly typed some words on the keyboard and the computer displayed so many houses with their location and basic specifications."This one costs $5,000,000," He pointed at the first house and began to explain the features of the house.Eric felt a little displeased. Jed clearly just mentioned that he needed a house appropriate for a student, the least the agent could do was to provide houses ranging from cheap prices first.But the agent only has his own commission and bonus in mind so he skipped the part about introducing less cheaper ones and directly went to the expensive ones."Excuse me. Are there any less expensive houses fit for a student's budget?" Eric couldn
The old man might have been consumed by anger if he knew what Jed was thinking.But the latter didn't even pay him any attention, he simply brought out his bank card and informed Roy,"I'll take this one. Can we go to the house today?"Roy found it difficult to respond. That's when Eric and Jed realized everywhere around them was silent.Then they noticed their eyes were fixated on the bank card in Jed's hand. The latter smiled; he didn't even need to do anything. Just his card was enough to shut them up."Mister," Eric snapped Roy back to reality. "Huh? Huh?," He stuttered and Jed repeated his question,"Can I check the house today? I want to move into it as soon as possible.""Of course," Roy was delighted. "I'll call the owners of the house and inform them now. After the payment, we can go there."He quickly turned to make a call. The previous agent Eric and Jed had visited was gnashing his teeth in regret.Who didn't recognize the bank card in Jed's hand? Only the Ceo of Skye's ban
"Good day," an elderly couple that were already waiting welcomed them. The couple were the previous owners of this house.As the man showed them around the furnished house, he said,"This used to belong to our son when he was studying at Elite. Now that he's abroad and we are moving back to our hometown, we decided to sell off the house. I'm glad it belongs to a young lad like you."His wife patted Jedidiah's hand. This young man was particularly good-looking and had a friendly aura. He is the best choice to take over the house. Besides, he reminds her of her dear son who is now abroad.Jed gave her a smile. Why does everyone keep on saying every now and then that he is good-looking? "Don't worry... We'll take care of this property," Eric reassured the man with a charming smile. Jed nodded in agreement and pulled Eric to the side. "What do you mean we? This is my house."Eric immediately put on a pitiful look. "Bro, are you planning to abandon your good friends? This house is big eno
When they got back to the hostel, the dormitories were almost empty as most students had already left. Sure enough, a chauffeur was already waiting to take Eric home.So the two boys had to just cross-check if nothing was left behind. Jed didn't have much assets though as he managed to pack all his things into a suitcase but Eric...The chauffeur walked to and fro carrying different luggages to the car."Did you pack your entire house when you were coming to school?" Jed was stupefied. It was only today he knew most of the things that had occupied the room were Eric's!"Quit messing around," Eric threw a punch which he dodged suavely. "Look at this."Eric waved a phone in his face. The screen was displaying his conversation with Ben.Underneath the video he had sent to Ben, he wrote, 'Jed said we can live together... Good thing is it's rent-free!'"Hey!" Jed pointed a finger at him and he hurriedly moved away lest he got attacked."Come over rent-free and you guys will sleep on the fr
Jed gave a short nod and rested against the window, closing his eyes. Although his head stopped bleeding and the wounds were beginning to heal, he would have migraines every now and then.'But this road wasn't this jammed when we passed earlier,' he thought confusedly, wondering what caused the traffic.The driver quickly came back inside. "Sir, the situation is dire and I guess we are going to be stuck here for a while as the throng has completely blocked the road."Jed sat up and peered forward. That was when he realized most of the doors of the cars in front were open and people were outside pointing at whatever was going on."What's wrong? What's happening?" He questioned; his curiosity was piqued. Did an accident occur?"I overheard the crowd's conversation. A young lady is hanging by the edge of the bridge. She wants to commit suicide," The driver sighed. "This doesn't happen frequently but when it does... It's often difficult to resolve it and now that the road is jammed, I wo
"Mhm!"Jed groaned as he held on tightly. While the lady was talking, he already anticipated her next move from the resolute look on her face.So he inched closer to where she was, slowly while she was lost explaining. As soon as she let go, he reached forward and held her hand, almost falling off the bridge rail himself."Oh no!" The crowd yelped in fear but some sensible men quickly rushed out of the crowd and held both of his legs so he wouldn't fall off himself."Ow," he groaned again. His hands and legs hurt badly. The lady had her eyes closed before but when she didn't hear the sound of water splashing as she fell that she expected to hear, she opened her beautiful eyes.The first thing that came to view was Jed's pained but refined facial features. "Don't worry. I won't let go," His words struck a chord and her eyes stung with tears.Wah! Wah! Wah!Sounds of sirens soon circulated the area as the cops and the firefighters arrived at the same time.The crowd subconsciously made
"Sir, where did you go? I was beginning to get worried," The driver asked as Jed got into the car. The traffic had already eased so the car moved forward."It's fine."Not noticing Jed's expression, the driver continued,"I heard someone risked his life to save the lady. He must have a heart the size of the world to do something as dangerous as that.""Hmm," Jed gave a short reply. He didn't want to face the young driver right now as he was currently tired.The driver noticed this because he didn't say another word till they got to the house.As the driver got down to remove Jed's luggage, he tried not to drool at the beauty of the house. He even gave Jed a quick discerning glance. This passenger looks like he is just a few years younger than him but he already owns a majestic house like this? One really couldn't compare.Jed was amused by his thoughts but didn't comment. The only thing he did was to give him a generous tip."Sir..." The driver stuttered when he received the notificat
