The next day, throughout the time Harlan spent getting ready for school, getting into the car, the ride to the college, everything seemed as if he was in a trance.
If he had known that Elizabeth loved someone else, he wouldn't have told her anything that day. He would have kept his mouth shut. Why does he always have the same fate of getting rejected by the girls he has feelings for?"Sir, we are here," Jack said, managing to bring Harlan back to the present."Where?" Harlan stared at Jack who had opened the door and was standing by it."Healy law college.""Huh? When did we arrive?""Just now. I have been standing by the door for a few seconds now, Sir.""Oh, okay.""Sir, is everything okay?"Harlan nodded and got down from the car.Jack bowed slightly. He watched Harlan as he left. He shrugged. Things don't always go right for everyone.

Harlan opened the door leading to the Marsha's sitting room and got inside. He coughed repeatedly when he got inside. Apart from the smoke, there was a funny smell coming from the room."Are..." He coughed again, "are you burning fossil fuels here?" "You crept in again?""I am going to suffocate if you don't put this thing out, man," Harlan said, looking at Kelvin seated on the floor and smoking away.He grinned at Harlan and threw the cigar in his hand on the ash tray."Kelvin, what is happening?" "Just trying things out. You know, trying to be a real man."Harlan looked at him in surprise."Is this what makes you a man?"Kelvin took a gulp from the bottle beside him. He hit the CD player. The place sounded mad."Kelvin, I am talking to you," Harlan had to yell for his voice to be loud enough over the blaring music."I'm listeni
Return of the hidden heir Chapter 117: Queen
Harlan watched Kelvin storm to the bathroom. He wondered what got into his friend. All attempt to have a conversation with Kelvin when he came back from the bathroom proved abortive. He ignored him totally."I am going out and I can't leave the door open. Should I lock you in?" Kelvin asked."I am sorry if I have done something wrong," Harlan tried again to get Kelvin in a conversation."I already told you what you did wrong. Mind your business. Are you going to come out or should I lock you in?"Harlan went out. He decided to give Kelvin a little more time to sort things out himself."As much as I would love to know what is going on in your life right now, I won't be too persistent. I am sure you will tell me everything when you are ready. I will wait till then.""Nothing pisses me off more than people who think they know everything about other people," Kelvin said and got into his car.

You like the man that almost killed us?""I didn't say I like him, I said I liked the way he called me 'queen'.""What's special about it? Queen? It makes me think of boring old days with boring people. Sounds disgusting too.""I really like it. Queen. Queen. Queen!"Harlan took off his hand from the handkerchief he had been holding on her head. "You are really annoying.""But I like what he called me."Harlan rolled his eyes on her, "I can call you more great names than that."Elizabeth held her hand on the handkerchief, "I doubt that.""Beauty."Elizabeth busted into laughter."Wait, that was just a trial.
