The auditorium building was huge, and its size stretched to an unknown distance Mason wasn't aware of. The irony of the situation hit him, and a little smile appeared on his face. He has been at Aleric University for years; it was his first time at the student auditorium. The time a general gathering was announced like this was during his freshman year, and he could not attend due to the part-time jobs he was juggling.

Shifting his thoughts, Mason followed the queue with several students walking in the same direction. The Security guard standing at the entrance of the auditorium building made Mason groan as the reason for their appearance whacked him. He wasn't holding his student pass, which he had forgotten at home. Since it is an official gathering with the university staff, including other high administrators of the University, the security pass will strictly be used. As if that wasn't enough, Mason raised his head to the broadcasting speaker at the top of the building, towering

  • Heavy Silence

    Jacob scoffed, shaking his wrist so the light reflected on his own watch. “Can you hear this guy?” he said, laughing with forced confidence. “Paul Newman, unique piece? What nonsense. All original Rolexes look like this; clean, shiny, and not whatever that thing is,” he added, thrusting his wrist forward arrogantly.The crowd of students panned their gaze on the details of Jacob's watch with admiration. When Jacob raised the shopping bag of the other watch, he smiled.“You know there is no shame in admitting your mistake, Mason.” His grin widened, scanning his face for any kind of reaction.Mason didn’t move; rather, he simply stood there, with his hands relaxed at his sides. There was no irritation on his face, no need to defend himself. If anything, he looked rather amused, as though he was watching a child throw stones at the ocean.He knows the origin of Jacob's newfound confidence, and as much as he would like to terminate the contract just to crumble Jacob's wings, this was more

  • Not An Ordinary Watch

    Mason stepped away from the stall, allowing the weight of his bag to rest against his shoulder while his other hand was occupied with the other bags. He quietly moved to join the crowd who were now waiting for the announcement of their departure.“Omg,” Mason overheard a student gasp in his direction. He narrowed his gaze to the guy standing with a female student. Their eyes shifted from his face and glued to his wrist. The sun filtering through the airport glass caught the watch at an angle, which made the polished metal gleam with elegance. It wasn’t flashy, and yet its calm nature screamed for attention.“He actually wore a Rolex,” one of the students who was quick to notice him repeated. More students turned their heads, pausing mid-sentence to stare in his direction.“Huh? Are you sure that’s a Rolex?” Another student muttered, leaning forward with squinted eyes, hoping to get a closer look. “I’ve never seen that design before,” another student replied, making more whispers sp

  • Airport

    The next morning, Mason’s alarm rang at 6am. Without hesitation he slipped out of bed with ease, running a hand through his hair. It was as if his body was excited to prove someone wrong.After a quick shower, Mason stepped into his expansive walk-in wardrobe. His eyes roamed through the row of tailored suits, casual designer wear, and other outfits that lined the space, but that wasn't what he was looking for. At the far end sat several glass cases resting in silence.Mason paused for a minute, allowing his finger to brush past several watches, each one capable of turning heads and destroying reputations. Finally, he reached for the unique piece, the Paul Newman’s Daytona. He could remember the day his mother gifted him the watch. He could remember walking into his bedroom and seeing the case resting on his bed with a note from his mother, and today would mark the first time he would wear it.Mason lifted up the price. The weight of it was comforting, solid, and certain. He fasten

  • Group Chat

    Mason lay across his king-size bed, one arm tucked beneath his head, as the soft glow of his phone illuminated the space. He had been ignoring the department group chat for days due to the endless notifications and pointless arguments. But today was different, and boredom had a way of lowering standards.With a click of his thumb, he opened the engineering group chat. The first thing that greeted him was chaos: messages stacking on, emojis flooding his screen, and voice notes that he had no intention of listening to coming in.Mason frowned slightly and began scrolling upward, trying to trace the origin of their excitement. After a few seconds, he paused at the highlighted messages, which caught his attention. [ANNOUNCEMENT: DEPARTMENTAL TRIP TO SONG ISLAND]“Songs Island?” he muttered under his breath. The survival program is now part of the university curriculum, which is taking place on Song Island. Mason has heard of students who have gone through the various stages of the progr

  • Quiet Secrets

    The Williams mansion was calm as usual, and the soft lights glowed against marble walls, mixing with the low hum of a classic movie drifting from the living room. Mason stepped inside, loosening his tie with one hand while his eyes scanned through the space.After the deal between the Higgs family, Mason, using his presence as an opportunity, attended the company meetings. Most staff who weren't expecting him felt their bodies stiffen in his presence. Though he was young, handsome, and seemed kind, the sense of fear still lingered around them, probably from the thought of losing their job, making the young CEO unreadable.“I’m glad that’s over,” Mason muttered to himself, shifting his gaze to the wide leather couch where his mother sat, wrapped in a light shawl. She trained her gaze on the screen as Black and white actors spoke words long forgotten by time.She sensed him before she saw him, and her lips curved into a smile. She averted her head, and with a small motion of her fingers

  • Higgs Villa

    Jacob drove through the city with one hand on the wheel and the other resting casually on his open window. The skyline blurred past as satisfaction settled in his chest. Mason Williams remained a ghost to him, but that didn’t matter much to him. The signature was real, and the deal was sealed. An abrupt image of Billy’s face flashed in his thoughts, and a wave of disgust crept over Jacob’s face, twisting his features.“That bastard," he muttered under his breath. "How dare he ask me such a ridiculous question! He clearly doesn't know who I am or what I'm capable of." He chuckled softly, turning his gaze toward the briefcase resting on the passenger seat. "With this, I can get him fired," he said, with a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.Suddenly, the chime of his phone snapped him out of his thoughts. He reached over and glanced at the screen. Natalia’s name was displayed, and Jacob rolled his eyes."What does this bitch want?" He scoffed, swattin
