"Don't be so modest, Mike. Who is better qualified to be our class leader?" Luther chimed in. The rest of the students just sat there quietly and watched the show that the three of them were putting on. But they didn't want to seem ungrateful. So they were willing to go along with the idea of electing Mike to the position."Since no one has any objections, then how could I decline? But let's just call it a temporary position. If anyone feels that I'm not carrying my weight, just say so." Mike declared as he raised his glass to toast his classmates.Professor Murdock stayed out of the discussion. And quietly observed her students as they drank their wine and socialized with each other. Meanwhile, Penny just sat quietly by the window nursing her glass to mute. Her classmates were too intimidated by her to go up and talk to her.While this was going on, Mike took Lionel aside and asked him to go down to his car and bring back a red gift box that he'd left in the trunk. Lionel came back a
"That has to be disappointing. You think you're more handsome than me? Everyone knows that just isn't true." Kevin teased him. "What do you mean by that?" Mike retorted as he slammed his fist on the table. "Don't be angry, Mike. This whole thing really isn't worth it." Lionel tried to persuade his friend. Then Luther tried to calm him down. "Relax, Mike. You're absolutely right. Kevin must be jealous of you. That's why I said there's something wrong with this pill.""You still don't understand, do you? Both you and your father were cheated by someone. This isn't an augmentation pill at all. Kevin told them bluntly. An augmentation pill is more of a light blue color. Plus it contains some floral ingredients which gives it a beautiful fragrance. Take another look at the medicinal pill you just gave our professor." Kevin continued."It's obviously the wrong color and has no fragrance at all." They were all stunned to hear him say this. Even Penny reacted and stared keenly at Kevin. Mike
"It wouldn't be a great idea to trick her like that." He really didn't want to make a bad impression on Penny. "No problem, Mike." Luther continued. "If Penny helps you pay the bill, you can use it as an excuse to get closer to her. You could even connect with her online to arrange to repay her and to get to know her better." Mike got really excited by this idea.He slapped Luther on the back and said, "I like the way you think. It's a good thing I brought you two guys along." When Kevin heard this, he quickly headed back to the VIP room. As he got to the door, Penny was walking out. Kevin came up with a plan of his own. As Penny brushed against him, he used the light touch that he'd learned about in the secret guide and took her phone and wallet.Let's see what Mike does now. Kevin smirked as he slipped the items into his jacket. With all his posturing, he isn't really that strong. Let's see him show his true colors. When Kevin returned to his seat and sat down, Mike and his two budd
"How much do you want?" His father asked him, as expected, Wyatt started to freak out. Mike said, "You think money grows on trees? Didn't I just give you that much a few days ago?" How could Wyatt Tripp not go ballistic? He'd worked his entire life to build up his business and now his son was just giving his money away. Mike was frustrated by his father's response. He'd only gotten in this situation because he was trying to get elected student leader.If his father wasn't willing to help, he might have to tell his classmates the truth. "What are you talking about, Dad? School’s going great. And my teachers are fantastic." Mike told his father, laying it on thick. "It's definitely a serious program."“What the hell are you talking about? When did I ask you about school?" Wyatt shouted into his phone. I don't give a crap if you like the place or not. "Don't worry, Dad, I'm doing great." He continued. "But it would really help if you could transfer some money into my account.""I'll tra
After about five days, she would be like any other normal person, and she wouldn't be able to use medicinal herbs to regain what she had lost. I can't believe that this pill can do all that, Kevin marveled. His thoughts were interrupted by an unfamiliar ringtone. For a second, he wondered if there was a burglar in the house, but then he realized that the sound was coming from his pocket.Who would be making a video call to Penny in the middle of the night? Could it be her boyfriend? Kevin wondered. By reflex, he answered the call. A moment later, he saw a beautiful woman standing in front of her closet picking out clothes. Oops, didn't mean to see that, Kevin thought to himself.She looked very familiar to him, but he just couldn't place her. While he was looking at her, trying to figure out who she was, the woman turned around to see why nobody was talking yet. When she saw Kevin, she screamed and disconnected the call.That's when Kevin realized that she was the young woman whose gr
CHAPTER ONEThe room was adorned and decorated with crimson velvet drapes cascading from the ceiling, crystal chandeliers on marble floor and priceless art hanged beautifully, adorning the walls.Kevin stared intensely at the art as he buttoned his shirt, appreciating its beauty when his phone rang,“Hello, who is this?” Kevin couldn’t help but ask.The individual on the interface exhibited a high sense of impatience.“Hey! Kevin, it’s me. It worked! You’re rich again”Kevin discerned the voice as belonging to one of his acquaintance in the realm of investments, Jonathan.“Hey Jonathan, slow down. What worked?” he was confused“C’mon! Your investment in Sunset Haven group paid off! You now have more money than your entire family! You’re rich again my friend!”Kevin found Jonathan’s words utterly incredulous. They seemed too perfect to be real.“I don’t believe you, Jonathan. How did that happened? Is this a prank?”Jonathan’s words were too good to be true.“My friend, it is real! Why
Fifteen minutes later…Kevin finished washing the dishes and checked his watch,“This is past five. Lily should be home by now.”Walking down the hall way, Kevin heard the sound of the TV coming from the living room.Taking a deep breath, Kevin adjusted his shirt and entered the living room,“Hi babe, welcome home.”Kevin greeted his wife, Lily.Sitting across the couch in front of him, Lily lifted her hands and politely waved.Staring at Lily’s bright eyes, luscious full lips and smooth skin, Kevin thought to himself,“I still get butterflies every time I look at her. Lily is gorgeous and her beauty is undeniable but, that’s not why I love her. She is the most patient and hard-working woman I’ve met. I mean, these past few years, her dedication has remained steady as she built and expanded her company.”He was deep in his thoughts when a sudden, raucous voice snapped him out of his reverie.“Hey! Kevin”The only person that could sound wild like that was Lily’s best friend, Monica.
“Lily, is there something you’re keeping from me? What exactly is going on at work? You seem more stressed than usual.”Lily sighed“My company received a new contract last month and there was an error in the calculation of the data. Our products did not meet the requirements so we need to compensate them with seven million. My company’s funds will not able to turn around which means that, I might need to at least get four million dollars of investment in a week, otherwise my company will most likely go bankrupt. I can’t do that to my employees.”Monica’s eyes widened,“How are you supposed to find someone willing to invest four million dollars in a week!?”Just then, Lily turned around and sighted Kevin standing in the hallway, with a tear falling down her soft cheeks, Lily whispered.“Kevin, I’m sorry to say this but Monica and I need some privacy. Can you please give me some space?”Feeling distraughted by his wife’s pain, Kevin nodded“Of course, I’ll go back to the bedroom. It’s
