As the boys walked to school the next day, they noticed many students were standing in the hallway almost obstructing the path to classes. "I wonder what's going on," Eric was naturally curious and wanted to peek at what they were looking at on the bulletin board but he was drawn back.Without looking up, Jed reminded,"Have you forgotten we have an 8am lecture and there are just five minutes left?"Eric complained about how he and Ben were strict but still followed behind them to class.When they got to class, their lecturer wasn't there yet but Jed brought out a textbook that had 'Data Structure' on it and began to study it.Eric sat back, playing some games on his mobile phone while Ben brought out a notebook to continue the solution of an assignment.The students were pretty noisy. Some boys even glanced over at Jed's table. Until finally one of them walked over and knocked on the desk.This alerted the attention of the entire class. Jed looked up lazily and couldn't recognise the
No one answered but all attention was on the boy at the center of class with a backpack in his hand. His regal and elegant appearance coupled with his cold expression caught even the boy at the doorway off guard.He went absentminded for two minutes before walking up to him. "Jed, you have been asked to come to the professors' block immediately."The students were alarmed. A smirk appeared on Owen's face. Did this fool not only get himself into trouble with the lecturers but the professors also?The lecturer however had a frown on his face. He was going to order Jed to go to the lecturers' block but unexpectedly he is called by the professors?One should know the identities of the professors in Elite Academy aren't ordinary. They didn't even teach students but offer lectures on special occasions.Moreover, they were more of mentors in the college. Even with that, only gifted students get to have one of them as a mentor.He as a sub-lecturer would have to go through a lot of connection
When Jed went back to the class, he was accompanied by Professor Shawn and the other professor. The appearance of these big shots startled the class including the lecturer who was rounding up the class.But as soon as these professors appeared in the class, Owen felt Jed had really committed an offense.He stood up and rushed out of the class to play the role of a good head of class."I apologize on his behalf, professors. Though we don't study well, we are good students. If Jed has been caught cheating or found guilty of an offense, please forgive him and give him one last chance."He looked righteous as he bowed. Even the class thought; yes, that must be it. Jed must have cheated.Remember, he was even the first to submit at the algorithm test the previous day. He looked quite confident of his work so he must have cheated or committed other offenses that angered the professors.But in a split second, Prof Shawn spat out coldly,"Who are you and what nonsense are you saying? Who told
"Mom," He put his arms around his mother and whispered. "There are cameras and recorders around. Be careful of what you say. Let the attorney handle this. Don't ask him any questions."Frowns appeared on the faces of cops that were watching through a glass that only people outside can see the ones inside and not the other way around when they saw Jack's exchange."You have three minutes left!" The female officer outside shouted as if on cue.Anna shook herself and wanted to throw herself at Finn. "Look at what they have turned my son to. He is usually the tough and indignant one. Look how docile he has become."Jack frowned and glanced at the cameras again. As if he knew the cops were already jotting down the character of their suspect like they have just heard."Mom... Let's leave," It was a mistake bringing her here. "No—""Time is up," The door swung open and the female officer walked in accompanied by the officers that brought Finn in earlier."No, don't take my son away. Don't l
"Goaaaaal!"Jed exchanged handshakes in the air and happy hugs as the crowd cheered widely. Feminine voices automatically overpower the male ones."Team A wins... Again!" The coach's loud voice was easily subdued by the crowd's happy cheers. "Darn it!" Arthur kicked an empty can away angrily and panted as he watched the girls on the stands going wild.Some were even carrying stickers they made for Jed. He sneered; aren't those bitches over hyping the bastard?This is just a training match and not even the main Olympics game yet they are already this excited.Thinking of the fact that he had lost in training matches subsequently ever since Jed joined the team made his face distort with annoyance.But he has constantly chosen to be in the opposing football team against Jed to prove he was better than the bastard. Yet, every single time he lost! He was sure even these bitches on the stands that used to yell his name before don't even remember his existence anymore."What are we going t
"Okay, thank you for calling," Ian smiled after a few minutes. "We'll be anticipating your physical appearance to finalize the collaboration."Then he exchanged a few more words of pleasantries and ended the call. "Irwin, I have never witnessed this type of change even when I was controlling a business," He professed."That was Ceo Mark, Zen tech. He proposed a collaboration with us. I perceive a bright future for Meta Inc."Irwin was stunned. Zen tech was one of the leading companies not just in Philadelphia but the whole of the USA! This is coming barely some hours after they released the beta app."Who was that?" Ian remembered why Irwin had come to him in the first place."Oh, that's just another one of those investors calling to propose a cooperation. Boss, I can't count the amount of calls I have gotten from investors today," Irwin sighed proudly.Even when his former boss, Jordan was in charge, Meta never experienced this. Those investors that deserted and blacklisted them dur
*Cough* *Cough*He almost choked. Liana had to stretch out another bottle of water. "Are you okay?"He drank out of the water and nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine." He kept his phone away and she looked at him weirdly, having a hunch he was lying and it had something to do with his phone but she didn't probe.It wasn't her place to ask. Jed didn't notice this because he was too busy observing the beautiful hues in her eyes.As if in a trance, he suddenly asked,"Liana... Would you like to come over for dinner sometime? My place."Liana arched her brow. She definitely wasn't expecting that. He looked into her eyes and nervously tried to explain."I don't mean any harm. You just hangout as friends. Besides, my friends will be around so you don't have to worry about me doing anything to you."She laughed,"Who mentioned something about you doing anything to me?" The way she emphasized the words made Jed's ears glow bright pink in embarrassment.Maybe he should not have added that part. He didn't ta
Jed sat up slightly. International stock trade center? He thought of the astronomical figures lying on his stock dashboard and wondered if that was the reason he was being called.Nevertheless, he creased his brows thoughtfully and answered, "Yes. How may I help?""Mr J.J, we are glad to inform you that due to your last successful progress in the past stock trade, you have earned a VIP invite to this year's N.S.C." Although the woman on the other side sounded cold, her voice had a hint of admiration for this unknown trader... Yes, unknown trader. This is because of the anonymity traders pledge upon signing up on the trading platform. So only higher-ups have access to the personal and real bio-data of the traders. But she still admired this trader that's progressed so much in the stock market in just a month and some days.Even his trade history records very minimal loss compared to others. Asides that, he has taken over the first position of the best Newcomer in the stock board ov
