“What!” She gasped out in shock after hearing the shocking revelation. She couldn't believe her ears when she heard from her grandma that Smith wasn't the same person he used to be. She even claimed that he had become more powerful and mysterious. As much as she didn't want to believe her grandmother, she knew that it was true. She couldn't deny the change she noticed in him. He had grown taller and broader. He looks neat and healthy compared to the time he was living in their house more like a slave. He had even become bolder and colder so that weak-minded people could get intimidated by him.She knew her grandma wasn't a fan of exaggerating things. She meant it when she said Smith wasn't the person he used to be. She had better be careful of him then. “How could he become so powerful in such a short time?” She asked with a confused look on her face and Madam Kate scoffed. “Can't you get it? It seems he's related to Edward's family in one way or the other.”“I heard one of the
“I bet that's the reason why you're begging me, right?” he asked and she shook her head vehemently. “What did I expect from you? I made a mistake thinking you'll be truthful for once,” he said and she smiled nervously. “I'm not lying. Why should I?” She asked and he smiled. “A good question you should ask yourself and not me. You should know the reason why you're lying, right? Shouldn't you?” He asked and she looked away. He knew she was hiding something but he couldn't tell what it was. So to find out, he had to play alone and pretend he was on her side. “I thought I'd told you earlier. I'm begging you because I feel guilty for what I did to you in the past. Please give me a chance to make up for it,” she demanded and he scoffed. “Do you think you can make up for it?” He asked and she nodded her head quickly. “Yes, I believe. Although I know it might take time for you to forgive me, I'll be patient,” she said and he smirked discreetly. “So what do you want me to do for you?”
What! Micheal turned to a shocked expression on his face after he heard her chuckle. “Did you just smile?” He asked with a surprised look on his face. It was his first time seeing her smile after two years of working together as colleagues. She had always been cold and fierce. She barely talks to anyone. It was a shock to see her chuckle in the middle of a discussion that had to do with the young Master. “No, I didn't. Something is wrong with your eyelids,” she said coldly and he chuckled. “That's a lie. I saw it. You look beautiful while smiling. You should smile often. It suits better than wearing this cold face of yours,” he said and she glared at him. He swallowed hard as she stood up from the couch and strode toward him. “You're a weakling. This is probably the reason why you insist that you want to send the information to the young Master,” she said and he shook his head vehemently. “Okay, fine. I won't send it to him,” he said and she nodded her head. “Pretend you didn
“Should I take you on a ride with my car?” She asked and he shook his head vehemently. She frowned and glared at him with a confused look on her face.b“Don't look at me. I have already called for a cab. This apartment is yet to be arranged so when it's well-furnished and prepared, I'll call you and let you know,” he lied. In fact, the apartment has been fully furnished and everything has been set to his taste. He didn't want her to know his apartment yet. Ava, on the other hand, knew that he was lying but she decided to play along. “That's fine. But you shouldn't forget to invite me,” she said with a bright smile. “That's right. I'll invite you as soon as everything is set,” he said and she nodded her head. “That's the cab,” he announced and she looked up. “That's right,” she said and escorted him to the cab. She opened the car door and dropped his bag inside. “Goodbye. I'll miss you,” she said and hugged him. He didn't reciprocate the hug but she didn't mind. She smiled at
Ava spoke up quickly when she noticed the look on the face of her friend, Cynthia, who was observant and smart. “Smith Edward? You must have heard it wrong. How could I have any connection with Edward? I won't dare offend him even if I do have a connection with them,” she said and her friend arched her eyebrows. “But you sounded sincere about offending Edward earlier,” Cynthia insisted and she shook her head with a sigh. “I thought I'd told you. It must be a mistake. And besides, why should I offend the emperor's son with whom I have no connection?” She asked and her friend shook her head. “It seems you're right anyway. There's no way that I can save you if it's the emperor's son you offended,” Cynthia replied and Ava nodded her head in response. She forced out a smile on her face and replied. “I know, right.” “Give me his details before you leave. He might be someone my dad is acquainted with so it won't take anything to convince him,” Cynthia said in a concerned tone and s
“Is that the reason why you called me here?” He demanded in a cold tone. He didn't bother to mask his emotion. He was angry at her for asking him such a question. “No. I mean please can you…” he interrupted her before she could complete her statement. “Is that the reason why you became my friend? Is it because you wanted me to help you? Friend with benefits,” he said and threw a cold gaze at her. She swallowed hard and lowered her head in shame as she noticed the look on her face. At that moment, she regretted her actions. She shouldn't have asked him to do such a thing.“No, that's not the reason,” she said and kept quiet. She didn't know what to say. That was right. At first, she befriended him because she needed his help and some information from him but when they began to get closer, she discovered that he was a carefree person despite his status. “Then tell me why you called me here and asked me to help you talk to your former boss,” he demanded and slammed his fist on the t
“Why 99/100 instead of the full mark that you claimed I got?” Smith asked with a surprised look on his face and the lecturer scoffed. “I don't have an answer to it. Congratulations anyway,” the man said and handed the result to Smith. Smith stared at the result and arched his eyebrows, unable to spot any mistake that he made. He got all the questions correctly. Why wasn't he given the correct score?“I got the whole mark so why are you…” the lecturer interrupted him before he could complete his statement. “I'll take my leave. You can report to the chancellor so she can assign you to your class,” the lecturer said and walked out of the hall quietly. “What the hell! What's the meaning of this?” He asked as he glanced through the result for the umpteenth time. “Let me go and see her,” he said and walked out of the mini-exam hall with a smile beaming on his face. He knew that they'd be a reason why they reduced his mark. Or was it because they didn't want the media to make their que
“That's enough. We're in the class and people are watching,” he complained as she clenched tightly to him as though her life depended on him. “I don't care if they're watching. What matters is that my friend is here with me,” she responded and he shook his head with a sigh. “Yeah. You're right,” he muttered and whined softly then she pulled away from the hug. “It seems you guys seem close. But you should know that hugging in the class in such a way is inappropriate,” Mr. David said and he arched his eyebrows. “Inappropriate?”“Is there a rule that prohibits us, the students, from hugging against each other?” Smith asked and Mr. David looked up instantly. “I know there's none but that doesn't mean you should…” he interrupted Mr. David before he could complete his statement. “I think that's enough for the proof that I need,” he said and Mr. David stared at him speechless.The students were surprised to see the newbie, Smith, render Mr. David speechless.
