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
Robert was thrilled beyond measure. His mother's sixtieth birthday was set to be a celebration like no other. This milestone was more than just a birthday, it symbolized her lasting influence, power, and legacy. From the very moment the date was set, the preparations began in earnest, each detail meticulously planned to reflect the grandeur of her stature.The venue chosen was none other than the sprawling estate that had hosted some of the most significant gatherings in the nation's history. The estate's expansive gardens were transformed into an opulent paradise, with cascading floral arrangements in hues of gold and white, symbolizing wealth and purity. The grand ballroom was adorned with chandeliers imported from Europe, their crystals refracting light into a thousand tiny rainbows that danced across the polished marble floors. No expense was spared, and every corner of the estate echoed the lavishness of the event.Robert, ever the devoted son, was determined to ensure that his
Just as Robert was finishing up his duties outside and was about to head into the main hall, he found his path suddenly blocked by a broad figure. Glancing up, he was startled to recognize the man standing before him. It was the same guy he’d had a heated confrontation with at the birthday party Lily had dragged him to some months ago. The man hadn’t changed; he still had that air of arrogance, and now he stood with a woman by his side, their hands tightly intertwined.The moment their eyes met, the man’s expression hardened. His initial anger flared, his blood boiling at the sight of Robert at such a prestigious event. He couldn’t believe his eyes—what could Robert possibly be doing here? His disdain only grew as he imagined Robert crashing the event or sneaking in for some free food.But then, his gaze traveled down to Robert’s clothes. The simple white shirt and slightly black trousers gave the man all the assurance he needed. A sneer crept onto his face, and his shoulders relaxed
