"I need the list of names of people in this college, especially the names of the students in our department," Adrian told Elizabeth when they got to a quiet place and away from any prying eyes.
"Are you planning a surprise for us?""No. I need to get someone's name."Elizabeth frowned, "you can ask for anyone's name if you feel like it and they would tell you.""You don't get it... I want to see the name for myself and confirm it.""Why? You are pretty popular with your hair so I don't see any reason why someone would deny telling you their name if you asked," Elizabeth said."I just want to confirm a name. I need the list of names urgently.""If you can't tell me a convincing reason for what you need the name for, then forget about me giving you the list," Elizabeth said and started walking away.Adrian was going to tell Elizabeth that Harlan is claiming to be Harlan SmitHarlan walked over to Kelvin, pulled him in a bear hug, not caring if anyone was watching. He had missed Kelvin too much to be concerned with what others thought."I am sorry for what I said the other day," Harlan said ruefully."I overreacted. I shouldn't have behaved that way, but you know, the workload has increased in the bar where I am working and my boss isn't making things any better. He makes a big deal out of whatever I do," Kelvin said."I couldn't get you a post at the Jay Team hotel but I found you a job elsewhere." "I really appreciate the effort, man.""The appointment letter is in the car, let's go there so that I can show it to you. The money isn't pretty much but it will be able to help you take care of things till the end of the month.""How much is it?""One point five million dollars."Kelvin hit Harlan playfully, "I have never received that much money
"I am really grateful for this, man," Kelvin said with a wide grin."This is the least I can do for you." "I will call you later in the night so that you can come get the car.""Man, you aren't running away with it, are you? I will get the car from you tomorrow," Harlan said."I am really grateful, man."Harlan smiled and bid Kelvin goodbye. He called Jack and told him that he was going to board a cab.Once Kelvin had seen that Harlan had left. He smiled to himself and drove the car where he had planned— a place without a surveillance camera.He imagined how it feels to have a car like this to himself. He couldn't help but smile.He brought the car to a halt in an isolated street. He got down and looked around to be sure no one was around to see him carry out his plan. When he was sure that the place was empty, he got into the car again and drove toward a w
"What? You don't mean that! How can you give a Rolls Royce Phantom car to me?!"Harlan only smiled, "you have given more things than that. I owe it all to you, man."Kelvin walked over to Harlan and pulled him in a hug."I am sincerely sorry for what I said to you that day," he said over Harlan's shoulders."I thought we were done with that."Kelvin smiled and gave himself the credit for what he had done. He would get over the pain soon. What a nice idea he had! And, it worked out perfectly. That is what you get when you have spent a lot of time with someone. You are able to predict what their actions are going to be.Harlan board a cab to drive Kelvin home after promising him that he would get the car repaired and send it to him. He called the Alberts car agency and asked for when they would be available, but he was told that they were on a short break and wouldn't be back until the
She rested her head on Harlan and some moments later, she slept off. Harlan glanced at her face on his shoulder and couldn't resist touching it. He took his hand off her face almost immediately. Gently, Harlan dropped the cup of coffee on the small coffee table near him and made Elizabeth rest her head comfortably on his shoulder. Some hours later, Elizabeth was still sleeping and Harlan didn't want to disturb her. Plus, it was already late in the night. He decided to carry her to one of the rooms in the house.She had a considerable amount of weight that made Harlan wonder if she would have seemed lighter if he had been serious with hitting the gym.He dropped her gently on the bed and covered her with a duvet. He closed the door gently behind him.He knew better than anyone that Elizabeth would need a change of cloth when she woke up.He searched the internet for clothing stor
She opened the door and quickly walked outside. She met herself in the sitting room. It spoke volume of wealth and luxury with its rich velvet curtains and plush leather sofas. The walls gleam under the soft glow of crystal chandeliers. There were no paintings or photographs, making Elizabeth more anxious to know who the owner of the house was.She rushed to another room. She noticed a door opening in the opposite direction and rushed to it. She saw a guy coming out of the room. She waited.The guy raised his head and their eyes locked."Elizabeth? Are you okay?"Elizabeth blinked her eyes repeatedly. What the heck is Harlan doing here? Or... The question should be, what the heck is she doing in Harlan's house.He walked over to her and gave her a searching look."Are you okay?" He asked again.Elizabeth muttered "yeah.""I got some clothes for you at the front of the door
Elizabeth looked at Roger in surprise."What do you mean?" She asked.Roger ran his hand in his hair and paced around the little space available for him to walk. All of a sudden, he plunged at Harlan and held him by the collar."Do you want to die?" He shouted at Harlan.Harlan was taken aback by the action that he was dumbstruck, but only for a second."Are you out of you mind, man?" Roger asked in a menacing tone."I should be asking you that. Because, a person in his right frame of mind would not be holding someone else's clothes without no explanation."Roger jerked Harlan vigorously."I have had enough of this insanity of yours! How dare you take Elizabeth to your house and take advantage of her!"Harlan stared at him in shock, "what?""Yo, man, you are crazy and trust me, I will get you in an psychiatrist hospital to get your brain correct
There was a roar of "go! Cecilia!" From the students that had gathered.Harlan tilted his head slightly, "what are you saying?""One-one! It's a draw!" One student's voice rose higher than the rest of the buzzing. There were more hailing from the students."Are you drunk, Harlan?" Cecilia snapped."I should be the one asking you that. If you are not drunk, you won't ask me come knee in front of you and tell you that I am sorry for bumping into you. What exactly do you think you are, a god?""Harlan! Harlan!! Harlan!!!" Was the shout from the students.This is actually the first time Harlan would be getting that type of reaction from the students. He knew he had to use this incident to gain an upper hand and send the message across to everyone that he isn't someone to mess around with.He walked back to Cecilia with a smirk on his face."You know what? The wo
There were gasps from the students as Harlan and Elizabeth walked away from the crowd. When they had walked far away from the crowd, Harlan stopped walking and ran his hand through his hair."I am sorry about that. I didn't mean to involve you in things like this," Harlan said."I am trying not to worry about you, but to be honest, I can't help worrying over your face. It's going to be filled with scars pretty soon. Have you thought about that?"Harlan smiled as noticed the worried lines on Elizabeth's face. She looks more beautiful with that look. Harlan stopped himself from saying that."I will be fine. I need a few things to settle with Jason before revealing my identity."Elizabeth sighed and looked away."Don't worry about me," Harlan said softly."I didn't say I was worrying about you. I am just concerned about your face," Elizabeth said and started walking.
