A lot of people, just like Cecilia, were surprised at the turn of events, no one understood why the man who had been rude to Cecilia wasn't the one to be sent away but Cecilia herself. The host was sweating as he ordered her out.
"And you, I don't want to see you anymore, get lost now!" The host shouted at the usher too who was too afraid to think straight.She fell on her knees and started begging the host not to send her away, but the man wasn't ready to listen to her, he was still shaking from the fears of what Harlan Smith would do to him. The security men dragged the usher out, not minding her cries and pleas.Harlan smiled to himself as he watched the change in event, it was either Jack had warned the host of the meeting or Mr Smith had told the host beforehand who he was.Cecilia wasn't ready to go out or plead, that would definitely flaw her personality."I am not sure you know who I am," Cecilia drawledHeads turned around, each person tried to make out who Harlan Smith was, but none of them, you can trust me, except Elizabeth knew who Harlan Smith was."The meeting is going to proceed now..."A form was passed round, each person got a copy of it so that they could fill in the name of their organization and what they did.After Harlan had filled the form passed to him, with great care he hid it from Elizabeth so that she wouldn't see the name on it. When he glanced at Elizabeth he found her frowning at the sheet of paper."Any problem?" He whispered to her.Elizabeth turned the sheet of paper to him and pointed at a particular place. As Harlan was trying to tell her what to fill in the space, the one he had filled blew off the table, across the hall right into the feet of one of the ushers standing around.Quickly, Elizabeth waved her hand in the direction of the usher so that he would return the form. Harlan held her wrist to stop her from calling the usher's attention."Shh... Leav
Now, Gary JH group is one of the big companies in the city that no one knows who is running it, not even Mr Smith could figure out the CEO. The group was always making the headlines of news as new development happens there every single day. If you ever got a contract with the Gary JH group, no matter what it is that you are working on, you could be sure you have gotten a quite deal of fame.Onlookers got interested in what was happening and the crowds pressed on Sherlock and her sugar daddy to check for themselves if their contract with the Gary JH group had really been terminated."But... What happened? What did we do wrong? You can't just come out of nowhere and tell us that our contract with the Gary JH group had been terminated," Sherlock's sugar daddy said in confusion, cold sweat forming on his forehead."I am not in the best position to explain what you did wrong to you," the one who seemed to be the leader said."We cou
Harlan turned to face the person who had grabbed him by the collar. He had never seen those types of people on campus before. They had this tough looking appearance that would probably make you shiver if you come face to face with them.Harlan frowned, "what do you think you are doing?" "Look at this idiot asking senseless questions! Don't pretend as if you don't know who they are!" Larry stood up quickly, massaging the back of his head."I don't want you holding my cloth, man," Harlan told one of the tough looking guys holding his shirt. He did a quick count and realized that they were about five of them, all dead looking."You are in trouble for embarrassing Cecilia. That should explain a lot to you if you are the type who uses your brain," the guy holding Harlan by the collar said."Oh, she sent you? She could have come to me by herself and told me that by herself. I guess she isn't bold enough."
Harlan was only surprised for a moment before he dashed out, after Elizabeth. He found her on the way to the lecture room and grabbed her by the wrist forcing her to a stop."What was that?" He demanded angrily."What was what?" Elizabeth asked quietly, wondering why Harlan looked like a defeated soccer player."What did you do there?" "I saved your face.""Did I send you to do that? Can't you tell when not to interfere in someone's business? Why did you choose to poke nose into my affair?" Harlan asked furiously.Elizabeth was too surprised to be angry, she just folded her arm and continued staring at Harlan."I could have helped myself out in a grand style if you hadn't interfered!" He yelled."And, don't think because you know who I am you can try to treat me like you know everything about me," Harlan warned."I am sorry about that," Elizabeth p
"You still have the guts to talk in that rude and stupid manner after all you have done to Cecilia?" A red hair guy plunged at Harlan, growling as he held Harlan by the collar of his shirt."You are very stupid for pretending as if nothing has happened!""Well, he could be jealous. Since his parents don't have any organization that is well known, he is after other parents' own, trying to pull it down," another person said sarcastically.Angrily, Harlan yanked off the guy's hand from his collar, his brows up in the air, he stared at Cecilia."Would you explain what is happening here?" Harlan stared hard at her.Cecilia was confused. If the guys she sent had really gotten Harlan expelled, he wouldn't have any confidence to talk to her. "Dumb man, just pack your things and go out now. I doubt you have anything here anyway," the red haired guy shouted at Harlan."Are you her mouth piece?"
Harlan decided to skip the class as going back to the lecture room was not going to do him any more good. He would not even be able to concentrate if he went back there. He decided to test a few of the cards that Mr Smith... Hmmm... His father had given him."Harlan...!" He heard someone shout. He turned in the direction of the voice and saw Elizabeth walking toward him. At first, he wanted to frown at her before ignoring her completely but he realized that at least she had helped him the other time. If she had not intervened, Elizabeth's Father would have known who he was. So instead of frowning, he stopped walking and waited for Elizabeth to get nearer.Although Harlan had noticed some people walking behind Elizabeth, he didn't know they were coming with Elizabeth until they drew nearer and they were still coming with her."I tried looking for you in class but were not there," Elizabeth said softly
Mr Wilkinson wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief which he dabbed back into his pocket. Despite the cold weather, he was sweating heavily."What am I going to do?" He asked his personal assistant for the hundredth time that day."Do you really say the Keith and Mint firm turned down the case?" The personal assistant, who had taken off his coat and was hanging it on the chair, asked in confusion."Where are your ears? Didn't you hear me saying that Harlan Smith called me and told me that the case had been withdrawn?" Mr Wilkinson shouted at his personal assistant who trembled at the way his boss was shouting."Sit, we could go to Keith and Mint and see Mr Smith..." The personal assistant started to say.Mr Wilkinson laughed dryly, "what type of person sees Mr Smith just because of something like this? We would never be allowed to get past the gate.""I am just saying that this company i
Harlan took a deep breath after the call had ended. He dialed Jack's number, who answered the call almost immediately."Check out one of the best schools two cities away from here and prepare a transfer letter for five guys. I would send you their name later," Harlan said as he strolled out of the campus. "Okay, Sir. I see you are going out already. Should I drive toward you?" Jack asked at the other end."No. I will call you when I am ready to go home.""I get that Sir," Jack said at the other end.Harlan decided to get a few clothes to see if people would stop looking down on him if he goes to some important outing like he had to the day before.He navigated to the browser on his phone and searched for the best place to get clothes. A lot of them fascinated him because of the ways each mall was advertised in a unique way. He finally decided to go to the one that interested him most.
