"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
"What's the situation, attorney?" Jack and his mother stood up where they had been sitting at the waiting area as soon as their attorney reappeared from the IG's office."It's the same Mr Jetti," The attorney shook his head regretfully. "He won't be granted bail. This case is out of their hands as it will be presented at the state's court."The severity of the situation dawned on them. Anna suddenly aged and didn't look as sophisticated as she used to appear on televisions. Jack already had this weird stubble that wasn't on his face before which distinguished him from his usual prim look. He had sleep bags around his eyes too."Attorney, you should make them understand that if it's money they want or anything, it's available," He tried to say something but the attorney shook his head."Mr Jetti, trust me, I tried but I'm afraid if I persist on this, the punishment your brother is supposed to receive will increase.""Shut up!" Anna went berserk. "What punishment? My son is innocent. H
Jed halted his steps and frowned. His sign of displeasure at his arrival annoyed Owen but he knew better after all that happened."The Professors want to see you."Jed's brows creased. Why? But Owen didn't seem like he had the answer to that because he was just silently staring at Jed wondering what qualifications he had to be called to the professors office so easily like he was going to a lounge.What qualification did he have to have a professor like Prof. Shawn as his mentor?Even he, the head of class, could only settle for a lecturer as his mentor.Jed heard all these but he didn't address it. He just nodded at Ben and Eric as if to inform them that he would be back soon before walking away briskly.Owen was left hurrying after him awkwardly."Jed didn't look too good. Do you think he's falling under the weather?" Ben raised his brows at Eric's idiomatic expressions. He simply shook his head. "After class, we'll head over to the infirmary to know what is wrong exactly but now
"Mhmm," Jed groaned lowly and shook his head. He blinked his eyes that felt particularly heavy and apologized in a low tone."I'm sorry sir. I just took a nap before the class started and accidentally slept all through."His words sounded like that of a slacker to the lecturer. Because in Elite college, there were quite a number of lecturers taking the same course, if the teacher that originally took them that course wasn't around or available, another one would take up his post.So this was the first time this lecturer was taking the freshmen. He hates students with lazy traits."If you knew you wanted to sleep in class, why didn't you just find a hotel or rent one of the empty classrooms instead so you can have it all to yourself like the king you are and sleep all you want!" The lecturer mocked, inciting laughter from students around.Liana frowned while the grumpy man looked around and snapped, "What's so funny?" He hated these children with wealthy backgrounds that felt like the
The nurse moved around for a while, checking his pulse, then his temperature which wasn't as high as before thankfully and other necessary things. When she was through, she turned back to Liana and told her, "I have prescribed some medicines you should purchase for him and he needs to rest for about two to three days at least for the fever to fully subside."Liana collected the list in her hand and nodded. Checking the list, she saw names of medicines that were familiar to her."Also, if the symptoms persist, I'd advise he is taken to the hospital which won't be necessary though because his fever is nothing serious. Must have been caused by exhaustion.""Jed!" Someone suddenly ran into the room. This sudden intrusion startled Liana and the nurse."Eric, why are you acting like he is going to die?" Ben was frowning at Eric's behavior as he walked in rather calmly than his friend.Eric didn't respond and wanted to rush to the bed but the nurse obstructed his path."Who are you? The pat
Eric took a long pause. He thought; what is one thing in this world that boys are better at than girls?Liana just stood by, looking at him lazily. She looked so bored she could practically yawn. He said he was going to challenge her to something yet he doesn't even know what he wants to challenge her to. Tch! Pathetic."Should I help?" Her soft voice sounded arrogant to Eric so he frowned and shook his head.Just when he thought he was going to lose face, his phone vibrated. He brought it out and saw that one of his online gaming team members had sent a message.[Captain, the training match is starting. Where are you?]Just like that, a switch went off in his head. Looking at Liana smugly, he announced,"I challenge you to a game of MMORPG. Are you up for the challenge or not?"Liana looked momentarily confused. Which of the RPGs? There were a lot of RPG games.But Eric mistook her confused look for a scared one. He snorted smugly. He guessed right. Most girls don't have experience i
