"What do you mean they had an accident?" She was shocked. "What kind of accident? What really happened, ma'am?""I don't really know the details, but they need urgent attention now. Maybe after the race or when we get there, we will know what happened."Lily moved closer, her mind racing with different thoughts. "Do you know which of the students had the accident? Which of them, I mean - do you know their names or the numbers?"The lady nodded. "No, ma'am, I don't really know. I heard it's over-speeding that caused it."Lily's eyes widened in horror as she grabbed the lady's arm, her grip tightening with desperation. "Oh no, oh no, oh no...please tell me it's not Robert. Please tell me he's okay." Her voice trembled with fear, her mind racing with worst-case scenarios.The lady's expression softened, but she hesitated, unsure of what to say. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I really don't know. I just heard it was one of the drivers. I don't know the name or which car it was. I'd advise you to just
A minute ago, Lily stood by the side of the tracks, her eyes fixed on the approaching car while her heart pounded in her chest. At that moment, all her mind could think of was whether it was Robert or if he was the one involved in an accident. As the car started to come even closer, it became more difficult to recognize it, as it was all covered in dirt of different sorts, so neither she nor Jacob and Ben could recognize the car at first glance. The two boys stood up, straining their eyes to see if it was Robert who was coming. His car was a mixed red and blue color, but this time the approaching car was all covered in black.Trying to look at the driver's face, it was quite hard since the supposed driver was wearing a helmet, and they couldn't see their face clearly. All they could see was an approaching vehicle that they couldn't tell if it was Robert or not. Both parties held their breath despite the loud cheers, as all they cared about was the well-being of their friend.As the ca
It was around 5:34 pm when Robert and Lily made their way to his car. This time the two didn't really care if they were still around the school surroundings or probably they forgot where they were. Lily quickly reached for the driver's seat. "I will drive," she opined.Robert was taken aback. "What are you doing?" He asked. "Don't worry about driving, I'm good, I can drive.""No, Robert," she protested. "You're not good. Look at you, all bruised up, and you say you're good. I'm sorry, you're not good, so I will have to drive today and take you to the hospital."Robert's lips curled up into a smirk. "Don't worry, Lily. I already texted my doctor, he is going to be coming home for my treatment. We don't need to bother about going to the hospital any longer."Lily's face faltered slowly. Apparently, she didn't believe whatever Robert was saying. She saw it as a medium he was trying to use to stall her away from taking him to the hospital. For the past minutes they were in the field, he n
The following day around 3pm he was done dressing up. Dressed in a Burberry suit, he glanced at himself in the mirror. As Robert gazed at his reflection, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and pride. He was dressed to impress in his tailored Burberry suit, which fit him perfectly and boosted his confidence. The charcoal grey color complemented his dark hair and piercing dark eyes, making him look like a million bucks.The suit itself was a work of art, with intricate stitching and a subtle pattern that added texture and depth. The jacket was fitted, accentuating Robert's broad shoulders and chiseled physique, while the trousers broke perfectly above his polished black shoes. A crisp white shirt and a slim black tie added a touch of elegance to his overall look, and a simple yet stylish watch adorned his wrist. Robert's hair was styled perfectly, with a hint of product adding a subtle sheen to his dark locks.As he turned to admire himself from different angles, Robert c
The next minute they were in the fashion department. That was the first department she took him to. Entering the fashion department, Robert noticed how large it was.As they entered the fashion department, Robert's eyes widened in amazement. The room was large, with rows upon rows of racks filled with clothes, shelves stacked with fabric bolts, and tables covered in sewing machines and design sketches. The air was buzzing with activity, with designers and seamstresses hurrying to and fro, chatting and laughing as they worked.Relly smiled, noticing Robert's fascination. "This is the heart of our company," she said. "Our fashion department is where we create the latest trends and styles that will be worn by people all over the world."Robert's eyes darted around the room, taking in the sights and sounds. "Wow, it's so big," he said. "How does it all work?"She nodded, happy to explain. "Well, first we have our design team, who come up with the initial concepts and sketches. Then we have
For the next few minutes, Robert followed her around to see the different departments. The building was gigantic, and after approximately fifty minutes, they stopped in the elevator.Relly noticed that Robert was exhausted. "We're not done yet, young master. There's still half an hour to go, but I'll let you off the hook today," she said.Robert's lips parted into a smile. "Okay, that sounds fair. Thank you!""Well, I have something to ask," he started. "How do the designers for the fashion department get recruited? Is there any degree or experience required to join the team?"Relly took a deep breath, trying to gather her thoughts. "We evaluate based on your talent and skills. But most of the time, we look at your degrees and experience in the fashion world. So I think that's fair enough, right?"Robert nodded approvingly, but his mind was clouded with thoughts about Jacob. Earlier last year, he had applied to join the fashion department as an intern, but he was declined. Since Relly
The following day, Luca sat in his room grinning from ear to ear after he just got off a call with Lily. Luca couldn't wipe the smile off his face as he hung up the phone. He felt like he was walking on air, his heart soaring with happiness. His conversation with Lily had left him feeling elated and rejuvenated. She had just invited him over to her house so they could attend karaoke together.He leaned back in his chair, a contented sigh escaping his lips. He couldn't believe how much he had missed her voice, her laughter, and her sweet words in just a few hours. The sound of her voice had sent shivers down his spine, and he couldn't help but feel grateful for the love they shared.He quickly dashed into the bathroom and had his bath. When he came out, he dressed up in Gucci sweatpants and a t-shirt. He quickly made his way out of the house, eager to meet up at his favorite coffee and library shop.As Luca stepped out of his house, he couldn't help but feel a spring in his step. He wa
CHAPTER.Robert sat there, his eyes fixed on her. He scrutinized her for a moment before speaking up. "Couples?" He asked, to be sure he had really heard right.The last time he checked they weren't even friends anymore Olivia shuddered. "Erm, yes. I mean, couples do have their ups and downs, so that was our own up and..."Robert's eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing through Olivia's attempts to downplay her statement."Couples?" he repeated, his voice laced with skepticism. "You mean, as in, you and I were a couple?"Olivia's eyes darted around the coffee shop, searching for an escape route from the conversation. She wanted to find a way back, as the tension was becoming unbearable."Well, yeah... I mean, we were... uh... experimenting with labels?" She answered.Robert raised an eyebrow, his expression incredulous. "Experimenting with labels? You mean, like, science experiments? 'Let's mix Olivia and Robert together and see what kind of toxic relationship we get'? You must be really dru
