Chapter 80Liam still didn't give her a response, instead he pulled himself up and then walked across the room, his hands tucked into his pockets. “Why do you think your family wants me badly?” He asked, smacking his lips. “Because, you're good.” She said and he huffed, cranking his head to the side. “Come on, I'm not pulling your legs here. I'm being sincere.” She mused, twirling her hair in her fingers. Since Liam was the first person she had met who was always succeeding in any job he was assigned to no matter how hard it may seem, she was proud of him and wouldn't stop admiring his prowess. “I wish I could be as skilled as you are. Seeing you win and making your employer proud makes me happy and I want to be like you.” she muttered. Snapping her head upwards with her hands resting on her side, she added with a serious tone, “I mean it. I mean everything I have said about being like you. If I had the opportunity to make choices for myself while growing up, I would have been
Chapter 81Finally, the D-Day for Liam's final exams arrived and he was up as early as he could to make a final preparation and that was a final review of his notes. Done with it, he proceeded to gather the materials he would be needing for his exams and after one final check, he slipped into the bathroom to take his bath. Now in the bus station waiting for the bus, he was scrolling through his phone with his earpiece plugged in when Jake arrived, breathing heavily like he was being chased. “Why running? Is there a problem?” Liam asked, searching his face with a raised brow. “I overslept.” He gasped, trying to steady his heavy breathing while Liam stared at him with his hands wrapped on his chest. “I asked you to quit pulling an all-nighter. Even if you want to attempt it, it's best if you do that in school, there are bathrooms everywhere where you can clean up before the exams commence.” He chided, looking him over with his brow scrunched up in anger.Jake was an average student
Chapter 82Wondering what the issue was, Liam swirled around and with his shoulders slumped began to head towards Professor Jayden's office. On arrival, it took a while before he connected his fists against the door and even when he did, there was no immediate response. Wondering what the issue was, he swirled around and with his bag slung loosely over his shoulder, he wanted to take his leave only to swirl around the second time and then push the door open. Seated behind the table was Professor Jayden with his glasses perching on his nostril. He had this worried look on his face making Liam to be worried too. Gulping, Liam made his way into the office and with his hands resting by his side, he approached him. “Sir, you asked Tiffany to fetch me.” He said with his gaze on him. Not bothering to raise his head up, Professor Jayden said, “Uhm… I did. You're in serious trouble right now and I hope you would be able to wriggle yourself out easily but I doubt if that would be the case
Chapter 83For more than three minutes, the trio remained in the office waiting for the final verdict which was taking an eternity to be passed out. Deep down, Liam was muttering supplications to his maker. If he gets expelled from the school either discreetly or not, news was definitely going to go out and then his reputation would be spoiled. “Please do this for me. I will work on finding out if it really happened or not.” Turning towards Liam once more, he grabbed his shoulder more tightly, “But I bet this is all a conspiracy, right?”To this, Liam couldn't provide an answer, he was dazed as he stared into space with his hands resting on his thigh.“Fine, you asked for a second chance, I will give that to him but it shouldn't exceed a week.” Professor Davis finally said and Liam, who had his head bent to the ground all along, snapped it upwards..He didn't know how to react to the news and so he was wearing a blank expression. “Thank you, this is definitely going to be the last
Chapter 84After speaking with Liam, Rose fell on her bed and with her eyes shut tightly, she took in a deep breath, trying to calm her raging nerves down. She understood that Liam had a lot of workload at hand but at the same time she felt there was more to it. The way he had spoken showed that something more than his exams were bothering him and she wanted answers to it. Staring at the screen of her phone, she wanted to dial his contact again only to push back the phone under her pillow, cranking her head to the side. “If only I was with him, I would have comforted him.” She muttered, wrapping her hands across her chest. Just then the door creaked open and nurse Lila poked her head in with a bright smile etched on her lips. “You will be having your therapy session a bit earlier tomorrow.” She said, walking further into the room with a paper bag. “You bought the candies?” Rose asked with an excited look on her face. “I'm sorry I couldn't but someone else who had heard your wis
Chapter 85During her therapy session, Rose couldn't help but think about her meeting with Naya earlier. She was glad that she wasn't like Lily who was self centered, rather, she genuinely cared. “At last, Liam found himself a supportive girlfriend.” She muttered, her lips parting into a bright smile. Smacking her lips she returned her attention to nurse Lila who was now scowling with her hands resting on her waist. “Are we going to spend the whole day here?” she asked, trying to act sternly only to burst into laughter the next minute because of the expression on Rose's face. After leaving the ward, Naya made her way towards the elevator with her phone against her ear. Just like she said the previous night, she was already working on how to give Lily her bitter pill to swallow. “Hey Dave, any update? Were you able to ascertain if she was the culprit or not?” “Lily Davidson, I guess.” The person on the other end snorted. “That wasn't the answer I expected though.” She rolled he
Chapter 86Dave wrapped his hands across his chest and after staring at her for a while, he tossed his head to the side and then exhaled. “What do you think you want to do?” His voice was firm while he used his eyes to pierce through her, hunting for the right answer. “I have a plan… I think having her contact is going to help… hold.” She said suddenly as she began to suck her teeth. For the next free minutes that followed, she kept darting her eyes around before she finally settled it on Dave who was unperturbed. He still had more jobs to handle and so he had shifted his attention to them. “Do you have proof? Any proof that would show she exchanged the app and…” “Sold it to the dark web.” “Perfect! Do you?” “I don't.” He replied and at once all her enthusiasm flew into the air as she sank into her seat with her eyes tightly shut. “Finding a proof in this case is hard and it has to be concrete otherwise, you will end up making a fool out of yourself.” “So what do you suggest
Chapter 87Returning his gaze to the examiners in front of the hall, Liam dug his hand into his hair and then began to tug on it. Blinking his eyes rapidly, he tried to concentrate on the paper in front of him as he gripped his pen tightly but everything in front of him was blur.“We are sorry to interrupt your exams, we got a report that the paper was leaked before the exams and so we have to come investigate.” The team leader said and then nodded. At once, his subordinates who had followed him filed into the hall and then began to search the students. They were so meticulous in their search, making sure to take note of every single thing so they wouldn't miss out. While all these were going on, Liam felt uncomfortable since he had forgotten to search himself properly before the exam. He had been doing this since Lily told him she was going to have a pound of her flesh. A few minutes into the search which only two students were involved in, someone walked into the hall and at on
