"Excuse me ma'am."Mrs Andrews hid a smile and continued the lecture as Jed walked out. She secretly thought,'Those two pretend to be at loggerheads with each other in class but look... They are taking excuses at the same time.'Jed headed to the restroom direction, the only place he suspected Liana would be.But just as he took a turn into the hallway that led to the restroom, he bumped into someone. More like she bumped into him."Ow! Watch where you are going," Liana snapped as she rubbed her nose which had turned red in pain.She looked up at him and thought he was only a teen yet his chest was already rock solid. Realizing her thoughts, she flushed."I'm sorry. Where were you rushing to? I thought something had happened to you," Jed wanted to reach out but refrained himself because he knew she wouldn't like it."Perv... Why would you come down to the ladies' restroom? Why do you even care if something happened to me?" Jed almost winced. Why was she getting so aggressive? He was
Jed shook his head at their stupidity and smiled. "Okay—"Ping! Ping!The ringtone of his phone cut off the words he wanted to say. Arthur and Jayden looked at each other and walked away.As soon as they were a distance away from him, they exchanged the secret bro handshake."The bastard said okay. Meaning he already agreed. I can't wait to see the stupid look on his face when he faces coach wrath," Jayden guffawed."Keep it low," Arthur patted his back. "He's just some meters away from us. Nevertheless, I'm sure he wouldn't dare to tell the coach we gave him the wrong time.""Yeah. We'll just tell the coach we told him the appropriate time like everyone else but it seems he's a little bit dumb to comprehend it."This time, Arthur laughed. "Coach already hates the fact that he got in through the back door when the games are only some days away. Just imagine what his tardiness will cause."They sniggered and walked away. Meanwhile, Jed was on the phone with doctor Daniel. He had expect
In the scanty office, only Alan's harsh breath could be heard. After a few minutes of silence, the attorney wanted to call out thinking he'd been forgotten over the phone when Alan suddenly asked,"What is the way out? What are we expected to do now?""I'm sorry Chairman Jetti. There is nothing we can do. The court hearing is tomorrow and representatives from your company are expected to be present at the Supreme court at exactly 9am."Alan's veins popped out in anger. He was about to lash out when the attorney added,"Chairman, we can't do anything about the withdrawal of the case anymore. I can only try my best tomorrow to minimize the loss."Alan's eyes dilated. He already ordered the PR team to let out news that the case had been withdrawn and all the rumors about the company were false.The company was beginning to regain their reputation and now this had to happen!"Your best is not enough! You are fired!" The attorney was stunned. "Sir... Sir...""Since you can't do anything us
"For the new team member," Coach Dustin started. "We have eight sports events in total for this year's Olympics. I don't know how you are going to do it but I hope you'll have everything all figured out before next week. If you can't cope, don't waste my time and yours. Just quit."Jed sensed some displeasure in Dustin's harsh tone but he pretended to be oblivious and nodded obediently."Yes sir. I'm sure with the help of my seniors, I won't let you down."The team members greatly warmed up to Jedidiah. Coach Dustin noticed what he was trying to do and was surprised.He thought it was just another bratty kid. He wasn't expecting someone as humble as Jed. Thinking of the upcoming Olympics event, his surprised look disappeared.The rigid expression towards Jed was back. Arthur and Jayden smiled. They glared at each other and muttered,"Just because you escaped the first round doesn't mean you will be accepted.""Junior, what sport are you good at?" One heavily-built boy asked Jed. The l
"Woah.... Woah... Woah, dude, have you forgotten?" A heavily-built boy with muscles that were practically bulging out of his best pushed Justin out of the way."Have you forgotten he has to try every event?" He turned to Jed and asked with an eager look. "Junior, do you want to try weightlifting training? Who knows? You might discover it's your calling.""No! That's cheating. Why don't you ask Jed if he wants to try karate instead?" Another team member from the karate team protested."No, I think Jed is more suitable for athletics!""Table tennis isn't as strenuous as other sports. Someone like Jed would prefer to come over to our team.""Football also isn't strenuous. Besides, it's the fastest way to become famous in sports. Say junior, do you want to join our team?"Arthur was bewildered when even the soccer team invited Jed. What is going on??? He and Jayden plotted for this bastard to be humiliated.Why does it seem like not only have they not failed in their plans, they also upli
With a smile, she stood at the pathway but Jed just brushed past her like he didn't see her there. Embarrassment washed over Jane.She didn't even need to turn around to know the girls were laughing at her. She refused to be humiliated and reached out to grab Jed's arm."I don't like strangers touching me," He didn't look at her, rather his eyes burned into the arm resting on his.Jane immediately pulled her hand away like it burnt her. The girls closeby that heard him snickered.Jane gritted her teeth and looked at him. Wasn't this the same Jed that was running after her in the past?Willing to do anything even going as far as reading a love letter in the public just so she could accept him.Now that he was popular, good-looking and even better in some ways than Cullen, he distanced himself from her. She really regretted all that she did in the past.But still, to save some face, she smiled beautifully and stretched the towel in her hands to him. "I brought this for you when I heard
Just then, the boys were coming downstairs fully dressed for college. Adam was standing at the doorway of the kitchen with a cup of coffee in his hand.He signaled at Jed with his eyes then. When the boys saw Lawyer Sean and Mason's confused look, they glared at Jed accusingly."You didn't inform him?" Eric whisper-yelled. "I thought you had plans."Jed itched his head nervously. "I ran out of plans."Ben facepalmed. Was it good dropping the bombshell on Mason like this? Poor man, looking so confused."I didn't know the almighty Jedidiah Jetti could run out of plans," Ben still teased."Boss, thank God you are here," He walked to Jed, meeting them at the foot of the stairs. "What's lawyer Sean doing here and what lawsuit is he talking about?""Mason, I want you to keep calm okay?" Jed motioned with his hands and Mason nodded."You have to get dressed and accompany lawyer Sean. Adam will follow you."Adam almost spat out the coffee in his mouth in shock. He looked at Jed with an aggrie
What they didn't know was that as Mr Chadwick flipped the sheet, his jaw almost dropped. Jed had written each question's answer word for word even though there was a maximum number of questions they could answer. He would have suspected the boy cheated with a textbook but the formulae written in the sheet were completely different from the ones in the textbook and each workings was done correctly without a single error. When he recovered, the class was empty. He grabbed a student that had come to submit. "Do you know the boy from earlier? The one who submitted this sheet." The boy felt Mr Chadwick was acting weird. Were the workings really that bad? "No sir. I don't know him." Mr Chadwick didn't continue asking. He simply kept Jed's papers separately and went through the remaining sheets that were submitted. After going through them, he realized aside from Jed, there were three others that wrote something tangible so he dumped the remaining empty sheets into a trash can and rush
