‘Why is this dude smiling?’ Lean questioned curiously in his mind, but at this moment, he already has the perfect plan on how to turn the world against James and elevate his position in his mind.Even thinking of this alone is giving him a great sense of joy he couldn’t explain nor describe.Lean also smiled a bit and released his mind power to see what the crowd would feel about what he is about to do.After doing this, he suddenly changed his expression to look sober, and muttered quietly, but still loud enough that the people near them could hear; “Do you want me to give secretly give you a gift so that you could give her?”Hearing what he just said and seeing his expression, James couldn’t help but remember their last encounter.‘Does he still think this would work against me?’ once bitten twice shy.James shook his head pitifully at the dude, ‘but I should still give him a few moments of joy though.’While James was also making plans in his mind, some people su
‘He brought a gift, what a joke?’ Everybody thought in their mind as they glared at James.Lean also felt stunned at this moment.He couldn’t help but glance at James from head to toe, but he couldn’t see anything on him, so he thought James only said that to save his face.“Oh…. I never knew you actually brought a gift?” He sounded very serious, while what he was doing was trying to force James' lie into the open.“What sort of gift could he have brought other than cheap products,” some people muttered behind their breath.After what Ruby said just now, nobody wants to speak out or disdain James for not bringing gifts anymore, but their curiosity has already been piqued, so they all watched, waiting for him to show them the so-called gift he brought.The most curious of them at this moment is Ruby who was not expecting that James would actually bring her a birthday present.She began to smile happily to herself, and could no longer wait to receive what James brou
“What do you think you are doing, hun?”Ruby finally regained herself.She couldn’t help but give Lean a furious glare when she saw him challenging James.She had been too stunned just now when she saw how Lean behaved which was why she couldn’t react, but now that she has returned to her senses, she became completely furious at him.This angry question also finally made Lean realize a bit that he seemed to have overreacted.His heart pounding heavily in his chest, Lean breathed in and out for a while to calm himself down, then he turned to glance at Ruby apologetically that doesn’t reach his eyes, then he let out a forced smile.“I’m sorry, okay…I thought of something ridiculous just now.”Yes, that was exactly what he thought.He knew it is in no way possible for James to get his hand upon this great object.What if James was a bit mysterious?Even he, a member of the Markwood Family dares not have this powerful object he was thinking about, talk less of someone that was o
James who was still feeling irritated that he couldn’t find the perfect person to throw his frustration at suddenly became excited at this moment when he saw this fat and ugly fellow.Had he seen him earlier before these people began to call him a liar, he would have automatically ignored him, but right now that the fat dude has to make himself to be noticed, James felt that it would only be a waste if does not value the dude's hard work.Although his eyes were still busy staring coldly at Gabs, he has begun to smile happily in his mind and mock the system.‘You see this, hun? I finally found the perfect object… hehehe.’[Good for the host.]The system replied dryly before ignoring James.Hearing this, James also decided to ignore the strange and arrogant system for now.‘Shouldn’t it try its best to make I as its host feel excited and satisfaction all the time?’Right now, Gabs has begun to cower in fear when he saw that James would not look away from him.He slowly be
Lean suddenly felt his heart skip a bit when he saw the grateful smile all over James' face.‘Why would he feel grateful?’ he thought curiously whilst also not wishing to know the answer.“Yes, it is so much real,” he suddenly heard James say lightly, but with much conviction laced in his voice.Lean couldn’t help but unconsciously glance down at the card that was still in his palm.He slowly raised it towards his eye level to study it inch by inch.He does not want to believe it at all, even for a bit, but the courage and boldness in James' eyes at this moment were just too strong that Lean felt it couldn’t be faked.He turned the card around in his palm severally, looking for what to pick out to use against it, but he couldn’t find any.The card looked so much like the real deal.‘As expected of a counterfeited product, it looks so genuine, even its weight.’Lean suddenly threw the card up, then he raised his head to follow its trajectory with his eyes.Just as it
Everybody watched with mouth agape as Ayra walked towards Ruby and co, not knowing who her boss was in particular.Ruby and Lean's hearts were already feeling somehow at this moment, as they stared at each other's faces, thinking that the other party is the boss of this beautiful girl is looking for.“Boss,” Ayra called out again beautifully and waved her hand elegantly.This time, James returned to his senses. ‘Is this coincidence not way too much?’ he released a forceful and helpless smile.‘I was just looking for the perfect way to shock these ignorant fellows, and here is one.’“Boss, sorry, I came late.”Ayra bowed slightly in the direction of Ruby, Lean, and James.Right at this moment, several people began to compare hers and Ruby's beauty together, thinking of each other's qualities.It was at this instant that a voice suddenly spoke; “It’s not a thing.”Hearing this voice this hall abruptly became dead silent, with their eyes and mouths widening furth
Lean couldn’t help but smile coldly when he heard James' question.He also thought like the crowd, who thought that there is no one James could afford to fork out such a huge amount.‘There could only be one thing that gave him such courage.’Slowly, Lean glanced at the object in his hand again, before he automatically throw such thought away.‘How could it be real….. The boy must have thought I would be scared, which will make me back out from the bet.’Just as Lean was about to open his mouth to accept the bet, a melodious voice suddenly sounded and interrupted him; ‘Stop, guys. Please stop already.’Ruby glanced at both parties, feeling frustrated.She couldn’t understand what got into the two that would make them throw everything in the drain, just so they could bet.Both James and Lean couldn’t help but turn their heads in unison to look at Ruby when they heard her pleading.“Lean….. Give me back my thing,” She demanded angrily.She knew that everything tha
Everybody’s eyes and mouths were already so huge and wide open at this very moment that if hundreds of flies were to fly into each of their mouths, there would be no hindrance for them at all.Out of everything they’d expected, never had they thought that James would be a major shareholder of this company that is extremely popular and not an ordinary staff.Even Lean was not expecting this at all.He was only trying to make everybody, especially to make Ruby and Ayra develop a great mistrust towards James, who would have thought that he would only be shooting himself a boulder in his legs.Ruby was also staring at James right now, not petrified, but dreamily.She was feeling a strange sense of joy descend upon her right now, and she doesn't know which word to describe them.The hall has become so quiet at this moment that one would be able to hear it if a tiny pin was to fall this instant.They were all looking in the same direction with different expressions on their f
