“You can sit,” the chairman’s wife, Jessica, told Nicole while she got lost in thought.“I-It’s okay, ma’am.” Nicole couldn’t stand still because working like this was new for her. Nicole could see from Jessica’s figure that she was probably five to six months pregnant.The little girl, Nora, came over to Nicole and took her to the nearest chair. Now, Nicole had no other option but to obey the little girl, which made Russell and Jessica chuckle a little. Nora went back to her parents and expressed her wish to eat the dish. They stopped the nail-polishing in the middle for their daughter’s sake and together fed their daughter by taking turns. Nora kept chewing and storing the meat in her cheeks instead of swallowing, which was her habit. Jessica poked the swollen cheeks, which automatically made Nora swallow. Nora then began to put food in her parents’ mouths. After tasting the dish, they briefly looked at each other and then shifted their gazes to Nicole.“Who made this?” Jessica aske
Bart was someone with a wicked sense of humor, but he couldn’t express himself well ever since he had taken a beating from Gabe.When Draco asked Bart to help him get his stolen mobile back, Bart replied with a question. “Do I look like I’m free enough to deal with the matters of the children?”Draco then had no choice but to come to his mother and tell her what happened.Carrie, having gotten used to the costly mobile, was shocked to hear this news. “Why the hell did you take the mobile to school?” she started beating Draco left and right until he cried. “You don’t even know who stole it, so who am I supposed to ask? Your teacher?”Draco went crying to the rooftop, where he was surprised to see Gabe sleeping on a mat.“Why are you sleeping on the floor?” Draco asked him.“Sleeping outside like this is a luxury in itself,” Gabe was staring at the star-studded sky.“Luxury? This?” Draco could only shake his head. He came and sat next to Gabe and also looked up at the sky, but then sudd
After ten o’clock in the night, Gabe saw Mia’s car entering the street and climbed down from the rooftop using the pipe fixed to the wall and quickly came over to the outside gate.Mia parked the car outside the house as usual and stopped by the gate.“Where were you until now?” Gabe asked. “Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you?”“My car broke down, and I was getting it repaired,” she answered. “That’s why it took me this long.”“Couldn’t you at least call me once and tell me what's going on?” Gabe didn’t raise his voice, but she could sense a hint of anger and worry in his voice.This was something Mia hadn’t experienced in a long time. Nobody in the family really questioned her regarding when she was entering or leaving the house.“What’s the point of carrying a mobile if you don’t call your family and tell them you’re going to come late?”Gabe kept on talking, putting his hand on the gate, not even letting Mia inside. “Next time, remember that there are people waiting for
In Mia’s house.Gabe went to Draco’s room and had to knock on the door many times to get the door opened.Before Gabe said anything, Draco quickly touched Gabe’s shirt and said, “Uncle, I will give you the phone tomorrow.”“You have school tomorrow, so…” Gabe put his hand forward.Twisting his mouth in many directions, Draco reluctantly gave the mobile back.“Don’t you have your own mobile?” Gabe asked, startling the kid. “I saw you playing with it before.”“U-Uh, that…” Draco didn’t know what to say and ended up saying what had actually happened. “I just lost it today.”“What?” Gabe was shocked. “Lost it? Where?” How could he lose such an expensive mobile! Gabe got so angry he wanted to smack on top of his little head.“Actually, someone in my class stole it,” Draco pitifully explained. “I don’t even know who it is, so I don’t know what to do.”“Didn’t you tell your Mom about it?” Gabe angrily asked.“I did,” Draco’s mouth turned down. “But she beat me.”Gabe controlled his anger and
Bart’s eyes popped out of his sockets as he couldn’t help but keep staring at the incredibly beautiful actresses, for they were irresistible. The actresses didn’t like the look on his face and glared at him, so he looked away.These two actresses were very famous and would charge at least a million dollars or over for a movie. How could they be sitting together with the mayor? At this point, he realized how much he underestimated the mayor’s influence.The actresses clearly didn’t like Bart’s presence, so they started dressing up. After telling the mayor to send the rest of the money to their accounts, they quickly left the room.“Don’t be too shocked,” Brendon lightly punched in Bart’s gut. “Politicians have always sought celebrities during weekends to release their stress or however you see it.” He threw a towel on his father’s crotch to cover the nudity. “Now, let’s talk business, shall we? My dad will give you the money he wants, but you’re going to have to do additional work for
Gabe ran around the whole park, carrying Mia, for almost ten minutes, and many locals saw that.While not many in the neighborhood talked about it, there were some that had taken pictures and posted it on social media. And these pictures received a lot of positive comments, though there were a few who trolled it.Mia got angry at Gabe for carrying her like that, especially when she kept telling him to put her down, but then he touched his ears and did a hundred sit-ups as an apology. After that, Mia couldn’t scold him. She was not that heartless, but she made sure to tell him to never do such a thing, or she might lose it and slap him with her sandals.Gabe promised he wouldn’t do anything that would discomfort her, but he had already promised that he wouldn’t touch her without her permission. Still, he picked her up into his arms and ran all around the park even though she kept telling him to put her down as it was quite embarrassing.To cool Mia’s temper, Gabe bought blueberries at
Draco entered the class without even taking the teacher’s permission. “I know the answer to your question, teacher.”The teacher didn’t like his tone, but she said, “Alright. Tell me the answer now. What’s a logarithm?”“It’s a mathematical function,” Draco quickly glanced down at the book in his hands before looking at the teacher again, “that tells you how dumb you really are.”“Hahaha!” almost all the students in the class started laughing very loudly.“It did tell everyone in the class how dumb you really are!” the teacher hissed. “Get out of the class!”“W-What?” Draco looked shocked. “Was my answer wrong?”The teacher didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Logarithm is the exponent to which a base must be raised to yield a given number. It’s that simple, and yet you started talking about mathematical functions when your syllabus didn’t even cover the functions yet. So how were you able to even bring up that phrase? Did you ask someone after leaving the class? Or did you check the
While Gabe had gone to the school to deal with the lost mobile, his lambo was still parked in the alley not far from his home.Systa didn’t allow Gabe to drive the car, either, so he had no choice but to walk to the school.A random kid came to Mia’s house and told Mia that some children were peeing on the luxury car.Bertha and others told Mia to bring the car to the house. Mia didn’t have the keys, so she went to Gabe’s house. The house wasn’t locked, even though nobody was inside. She entered and looked for keys. Luckily, she found them under the pillow.“He won’t mind if I park the car in front of his house, or will he?” she wondered.In the end, she went to the alley where the car was parked. She couldn’t tell where the children peed, but she saw that the mark that Cynthia left on the car was gone. “He got it fixed, huh. He’s managing the car decently, but high-class cars like these need to look clean, or they look striking.”She pressed a button and the door opened.“Mia Reyes…”
