Jed's eyes glazed over some certain body parts before he quickly looked away, swallowing nervously. Liana didn't reply to him but she bent and tried flapping the jacket over her unconscious friend."How's the situation outside?" She asked, her voice sounding like music to Jed's ears amidst the chaos."Everywhere is completely consumed by the fire except this place."Jed remembered the man in the hallway and stepped out to check on him. He was still lying motionlessly in that sitting position. "The fire department must be on their way now," He stepped back, looking everywhere else while trying to avoid looking at Liana.He didn't notice her observing his actions. When she realized what he was doing, a small smile appeared on her face.It was like it bloomed her entire facial features even more. Pity, Jed missed the beautiful scene."If they don't hurry up, we might all get toasted by the fire. I don't think Nikki can hold on any longer."She crouched low to feel her friend's pulse whi
[Young master, I just watched the news. Are you and your friends safe? I forwarded some mails to you][We are safe]Jed replied and exited to check his g****e mail app when messages trooped in consecutively.[Young master, we saw the news. Are you safe?] - This one is from Adam.[Young master, hope none of you were affected by the fire? How could the school management be so careless? They have to explain to us]Jed could even feel Johnny's anger as he read the message above. The last message was surprisingly from Irwin.[Boss, I saw the news and remembered you must have resumed today. Are you safe? I also want to inform you I'm back in office]Jed's fingers paused on the screen at first. There was this low, burning sensation in his chest. It certainly wasn't bad because it didn't hurt him.Instead he felt warm. In his first life, he has never had someone to ask how he was, his well being and if he was safe. But this time, there were people worried about him. His fingers swiped on the
"It's good you put them in their place. I bet Matt was ordering the nurse around on purpose," Eric had a different opinion to Ben."More like, trying to delay my treatment.""But we should try to steer clear of them. Jed, whatever you poured on his face won't have effects right?"Jed laughed upon seeing Ben's worried expression. "Aiyo, you don't think I poured some kind of chemical on him right? I only helped heal his wound. He will be fine. He was just overreacting."Ben heaved a sigh of relief and Jed struggled to hold in his laughter. He brought out his phone and saw that the g****e mail app had finally opened.He clicked on the mail lawyer Sean had sent to him when Eric poked him with a finger.Without looking up, he asked,"What?""Ahem... I saw you coming out with that rude girl. What's really going on between you two?" Eric had an aggrieved look. How could Jed like Liana of all girls???"Control your weird thoughts," Jed finally looked up. "We hid in the same place before the fir
Johnny didn't know who Mason was so he looked at them with a clueless look. Jed nodded his head like he felt Ben's idea was great. "Yes, he used to work in Meta inc. before so he will have better knowledge about the proposals." 'Did you forget he was let go by Meta inc?' Vendetta suddenly chimed in his head. 'If he can help, I'll offer anything in return,' Jed's response was unexpected. Jed brought out his phone and sent a message to Irwin. [Arrange a meeting for me with the employees tomorrow] "Excuse me, who is Mason?" Johnny couldn't hold back his curiosity so he asked. Ben briefly explained Mason's connection to the Jetti's. After the narration, Johnny's facial expression showed displeasure. "The Jetti's are always known to play dirty. I never expected they were the one behind old Jordan's downfall. What would they gain from not playing tricks and trying gaining grounds the legitimate way for once?" Jed had no response to that but he remembered Johnny's words and asked,"Yo
There was silence for a few minutes. Ben was utterly confused. If it were a question about tech, he could answer it in a heartbeat. But issues that have to do with businesses, it's like the switch of his IQ goes off.Jed only needed a minute to figure out what Johnny was trying to say. "Are you trying to buy more partnerships?""You are really no fun at all, young master," Johnny's words indicated his guess was right."If the public gets to know about the new VVIP credit card offer and its perks, it would prompt them to invest more in the bank. I bet Skye would be having new wealthy customers soon. That's a smart move."Johnny smiled humbly. "We are trying to gauge the public's agreement for now. It's just a proposal. It is still uncertain if it will flop or succeed."Jed didn't say anything but he could already envision Skye's future progress. Limited membership credit cards weren't common and those that were available could only be afforded by wealthy moguls.If Johnny's plan works o
It was late when the boys returned from Skye. Johnny kept them entertained and Eric didn't even want to leave. But considering the fact that they still needed to attend college the next day, he grudgingly obliged to leave.As the chauffeur drove the car into the portable garage, Jed's eyes subconsciously drifted to the next building.He and Liana didn't get any chance to discuss again after they were rescued by the firemen and she also accompanied her unconscious friend to the hospital.He wanted to know if her friend was fine. Most importantly, know how she herself is doing.But he couldn't come up with any excuse to just walk up to her doorstep and ask all these questions so he sighed in frustration and walked in.Ben noticed his gaze at the house next door and chuckled. Putting his hand round Eric who was still engrossed in the online training match, he whispered,"Did you see that? Jed clearly wanted to visit her but he stopped himself at the last minute. Do you think he has reall
"Young master, I've made my decision," Mason called out as Jed was setting the table. Ben and Eric took over while he walked up to Mason."So... What is it going to be?" He wasn't scared Mason would reject his offer after all that was such a hard to come by proposal."I agree," Mason sucked in a deep breath like he'd just made a difficult decision. "But I have a condition.""That is?""Each software I formulate that gets released successfully must have my initials as the programmer."Jed didn't expect this would be his request. Seems like the poor man was scarred by the treatment he'd gotten from the Jetti's and Meta previously."No problem. Is that all?"Mason was surprised that Jed readily agreed. At that moment, he subconsciously pledged his loyalty to this amiable young master."Yes, that's all sir.""What about the lawsuit?"Mason wasn't as fretful as he was earlier as he declared,"I will testify whichever way you want me to and also bear witness to their wrongdoings."A smile fin
Jed leaned forward, a little bit close for Liana's comfort. "Are you doubting me?"She moved away and snorted again. He loved it when she made this sound. "Of course not. Who else would be so brave to rush back into a burning building to save someone that isn't related to him?" Her voice carried a hint of sarcasm but Jed felt he could listen to her talk forever.Liana initially thought he had gotten trapped in the building like her. She was surprised to hear the rumors of him rushing back to save the chef flying around school.Though she thought it was a foolish thing to do, she felt a bit of admiration for his courage. She gave him a curious look.Back then at Elite High, she didn't pay much attention to the bullied kid in the class but she couldn't help but feel something had changed about him.Jed smirked upon listening to all her thoughts. What stuck to his mind was that Liana admired him even if it was a little bit."Is there something on my face?" He was practically leaning on h
