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
"Angels must have descended," He mocked and wanted to exchange high-five with Liana. But remembering her OCD, he refrained.Eric's face was as dark as soot. He couldn't even imagine how his teammates would be reacting now so he didn't dare unmute the mic."Shut up. There are still two rounds to go," He seethed."Round Two!" The desktop chimed in agreement."I won't go easy on you this time senior," Liana's words fueled his anger at losing to her. He didn't say a word but he snorted. Isn't it because he was distracted that she had the chance to win? He would show her who the boss is!Ben watched the game excitedly and forgot to send the message he typed earlier. Less than five minutes later, the screen displayed 'K.O' again. Chats icons soon flooded the top layer of the desktop screens. Since others couldn't use their mic, they sent messages.If Eric had checked them, he would have noticed that someone was even asking if the game was rigged!Because how could their captain who didn't
"He must be out of town. He mentioned that to me sometime ago," Alan made an excuse, unsuspecting his personal assistant.He didn't notice that the lady heaved a sigh of relief secretly. At least, this means her lie would be hidden and not be discovered so easily."That's the least I can do. That impatient woman would have to wait till he gets back."Alan already guessed it was because of Finn, Anna was coming to the company to cause trouble frequently."Or perhaps, I should just send a message to her private number," He brought out his phone but the mobile was snatched out in the next minute.His old, shrewd eyes squinted at the P.A who quickly said,"Chairman, the doctor said you should rest so as not to delay your improvement. You are not doing that. Besides, Madam was given a tight warning at the company the last time she came."She turned around to dish out some food, not disclosing how she made the guards throw Anna out ruthlessly."So if she has a little bit of shame in her, she
