Mr.Oman froze his gaze at the screen. It was like his spirit left his body, leaving his face as pale as snow. Mason cleared his throat, dragging his attention from the screen. This moment fit into his perfectly planned for his expulsion letter to be revoked by the university."Mr.Oman," Mason called with a furrowed brow, covering his legs on the table. "Is there a problem?" Mason asked, pretending not to know why Mr. Oman was suddenly anxious. If this video was ever leaked out, it wouldn't only destroy his marriage and status, but he would also lose his job and respect."What do you think you're doing, Mason?!" The middle-aged man shrieked. "Delete this video at once!" he commanded. Mason laughed, surprised at how Mr. Oman expected him to follow his commands as if he were speaking to one of his students on the university grounds where his word meant power. Unknowingly to Mr.Oman, the ball was in Mason's court."And why will I do that? You are caught sexually harassing a hotel staff,"
Mr Oman was caught off guard by Mason words. He thought Mason would request for a few bucks of money, not the Aleric University which was impossible. In his mind, Mr Oman still didn't believe Mason was the CEO of the sky–high hotel. He assumed Mason had planned everything beforehand, and with Mr.Jude getting caught for his crimes, Mason must have forced him to play along, giving the only reason they haven't called the cops or leaked the video to the media. "W…What do you mean you want Aleric University?" Mr.Oman asked.Mason didn't bother to stare at him as he focused his gaze outside the busy street of Aleric City. "What don't you understand Mr.Omam? I said I want the University and since you're a board member it would be easier to hold a board meeting to sell the University to me," "You want to buy Aleric University?" Mr.Oman asked, his eyes ready to pop out of the sucket in surprise. "Do you know how much that property cost?!""How much?" Mason asked with a deep baritone, which su
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Mrs.Hig, but this couldn't wait," Mr.Oman said, staring at Mason through the corner of his eyes before returning his attention to the frowning faces on his computer screen. "What is this so-called emergency that can't wait Mr.Oman?" A male voice asked. Mason was sure the voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't put a face to it. He glanced at his Secretary, who was already running a background check on the board members. He shook his head at Mason, indicating the other two board members remain anonymous. "Mr Yusuf, we all know of the crisis the university is going through and-""We are well aware that, Mr. Jude, that is why we are spending unnecessary money to keep the media off our backs," the male voice was laced with annoyance.Mason raised a brow at the man's statement. He didn't know the university was going through a crisis in which the school had to spend money to keep it off the media. He couldn't guess what it was, but he would make Mr.Jude
After the handover, the bank manager and the University Secretary left the office, leaving Manson, who was busy discussing with Billy while Mr.Oman sat on the opposite end. A few minutes later, The security men guarding the door outside let in three men. One of the men was Mr.Jude, who was handcuffed to his wrist. The two other figures wearing a police uniform stood beside him. When Mason noticed their presence, he nodded for them to proceed. Their eyes roamed through the room until they rested on the middle-aged man."Mr.Oman, you're under arrest for sexually harassing a hotel staff," the youngest of the cops notified, pulling out a handcuff. Mr.Oman's face went pale at his words, and he turned to Mason in confusion. He thought helping Mason own the University would clear him from the punishment of his deed, but little did he know he would be arrested."W…why?!" Mr.Oman shrieked at Mason, feeling betrayed, but Mason's face was expressionless. "I promise you the video won't be upload
Mason entered the classroom, and the cold silence that soared through the space made those who had noticed him raise their gaze.As usual, Mason shifted his gaze to the back, where his eyes locked with Natalia sitting in her friend's circle. They all stare at him, surprised, except for Natalia and Jacob, who have a frown on their faces. Mason winked at them before averting his gaze around the room for his best friend. When Mason noticed Jeremiah wasn't in class, he sat while waiting for the lecturer to come."What are you doing here?" A voice sneered from behind. It was Jacob Higs. A smirk crawled on Mason's lips when he noticed Jacob and his followers standing behind him. He could feel his angry gaze boring at the back of his head, but Mason remained quiet."Are you deaf!" Jacob yelled.The entire class was already watching the tension rising between the two. The class didn't fail to notice the boldness on Mason's face, which made Jacob's vein seem like it would pop in anger. Unlike
"For your upcoming project, the class will be split into groups. The names of every group member will be posted on the class platform. That's all for today," Miss Tosin said, her last statement evaporating the quietness of the classroom with students being eager to leave.Mason glanced at his watch, and it was already noon. He didn't eat breakfast, and his stomach started to rumble. When Miss Tosin left the class, he shoved the two notebooks he brought into his bag and made his way to the exit."beep"Mason glances at the message that pops up on his phone.[You might need my help in the future] The message said, and Mason raised a brow at the unknown number. He didn't know who it was, and when only a few people had access to his number, he couldn't pinpoint who sent him the message. Mason tried calling the number, but it was unreachable. Mason ignored the message and slid his phone into his pocket.The hallway was crowded with students, and their eyes lurked around Mason Willams, walk
Mason frowned at the figures standing at the threshold. He should have known better that this bitch was up to no good, and Jacob Higs was the mastermind of everything. It wasn't just a coincidence the cops only showed up when Lola's clothes were torn. "I didn't do anything to her," Mason said, but the cops frowned at him. Jacob, who was at their back, wore a smile, and Mason gritted his teeth. "You are caught red-handed Mason. Don't deny it," Jacob said, rushing toward Lola and handing her his Jacket. "Are you alright?" Jacob asked Lola whose facade could break the Guinness Book of Records. Mason's heart skipped; he knew anyone who didn't know how corny Lola was would believe her words instead of him. "Mason Williams you're under arrest for attempted rape," the policeman said, pulling out his handcuff. Mason frowns at his action. He knew they would not listen to him no matter how he tried to prove his innocence."I said I'm innocent!" Mason yelled when the officer came close. The c
Mason already had the evidence he was going to use against Lola and Jacob. He thought of handing the evidence to the cops, but he shrugged off the thought; there was something sketchy about them. Mason's eyes roamed around the room, which was filled with silence, examining the cops. He noticed a similar tattoo on their wrist, one that he had seen before. A smile crept into Mason's lips, realizing his instinct had been right all along. When Jacob noticed, Mason was quiet. He smiled inwardly. 'I told you to watch out, Mason.'Mason averted his gaze to Adam, who thought he had him by the neck with a plan that he came up with while they were in class. "Mason Williams, what is the meaning of this? Why ain't you explaining yourself," Mr Osawe muttered. Even when Jacobs' explanation sounded too much like of a coincidence, it was also a big crime that involved his student, and he had to be thorough with it before making a decision.Mason's brows are pretentiously knitted together. "How ca
