Chapter 33Nathan realized that the events that occurred that evening had suddenly sparked some feelings of suspicion in Charlotte which was causing her to interrogate him. She was looking directly into his eyes, waiting for a response. Confused about what to say or do, Nathan ran his left hand through his hair and put on a fake smile. “I’m serious Nathan. Who the hell are you?” Charlotte maintained a straight face. Nathan was still putting on the fake smile. “What are you talking about Charlotte? How could you even ask me such a question? I’m Nathan Smith, the guy you’ve always known.”Charlotte arched a brow. “Really? Because I’m not sure anymore.”She roved her eyes around the first-class compartment and darted her gaze back to Nathan. “We are occupying the best table in DZA, the fanciest restaurant in Rockville city and you think that’s not worth finding out?” said Charlotte. Nathan could see the anxiety in her eyes. He wasn’t ready to tell her about his newfound identity.
Chapter 34Nathan and Charlotte grabbed the menu cards and began to go through them. Soon, orders were flying out and the manager didn’t waste any time taking it down in his journal. “Is that all?” he said after a silence ensured. Charlotte slapped her card to the table. “That will be all for me. I don’t know for Nathan.” She said. Nathan lowered the card to his chest and raised a brow. “Well, I’ll have some sweeteners after the meal. Just two pieces.”Charlotte hummed. “I think I’ll need two pieces too.”The manager scribbled the last order in his journal. “Why don’t you guys give me five minutes? Please. I promise to process your orders ASAP.” He implored. “Fine. Get on with it.” Nathan replied. Charlotte was delighted. She was finding it difficult to stabilize her gaze on a particular feature in the room and Nathan noticed it. He chuckled. Charlotte shifted her gaze from the colorful painting on the wall to the fancy bar stand. She noticed the artificial aquarium by the co
CHAPTER 35“Wow!” Charlotte exclaimed her eyes beaming with excitement. The executive assistant of the famous Alcantara empire has just given her the chance to see him whenever she wishes.Mike gave a warm smile. “So if you need me to help out with anything anytime, speak to Nathan, and boom, I’ll be there.”They broke into a laugh. “I’ll allow you two to head home now so that you can get enough rest,” Mike said and pointed to the exit with a warm smile. Nathan gave him a loving blink. “Thank you so much for everything, Uncle Mike.”“Anytime Nathan.” He replied and turned to Charlotte. “Bye Charlotte.”“Bye Mike!”Nathan escorted Charlotte out of the restaurant to the spot their vehicle was parked. It was a few minutes past 9 pm. Larry was in the driver’s seat, shoving some fries he had obtained from an eatery he had obtained downtown. He hurried his meal and pulled a napkin to wipe his oily lips. “I’m sorry for taking much of your time.” Nathan apologized to Charlotte after he ca
"Open the door!” Greg screamed and went on banging on Nathan’s door. If not for the darn vice chancellor, he wouldn’t have shown up at Nathan’s apartment. He even fought on the phone with his girlfriend that morning because of the incident and now, Nathan wouldn’t open the door. Greg was infuriated by the fact that Charlotte took Nathan’s side and had called to reprimand him that morning for placing Nathan in a bad state. They ended up yelling at each other. “Open this door!” he continued yelling, his lips curled in irritation. Greg was getting frustrated. He had been outside Nathan’s door, knocking for the past five minutes yet Nathan didn’t open the door. He concluded that if Nathan doesn’t open the door, he was going to abandon the apology quest he was forced to embark on by his father and the vic-chancellor. Back inside, Nathan continued to wonder. The way Greg was banging on his door was causing him to finalize that Greg must have found out that he had dinner with Charlo
Chapter 37“Let go of me!” Nathan snapped and yanked Greg’s hands off his collar. “Are you crazy?” Greg exploded. “You want me to stand before everyone at the court and apologize to you? Who the hell do you think you are?”Nathan sighed and strode to the table where he had stationed his phone. He grabbed the device and turned to face Greg. “I’ve already given you a piece of my mind Greg. You’ll apologize to me before everyone at the court and that’s the only way that I can take it that you are truly sorry.” He replied. Greg arched a brow. “Do you think I require your approval? Listen to me, Nathan. This is a threat. If you tell anyone that I didn’t apologize to you then…”“Then what?” Nathan fired while Greg was still speaking. Greg broke into a dry laugh. “I can see that you are flexing your nerves huh? Well, let’s wait and see.”“You can’t do anything to me Greg because I’ve got proof,” Nathan said and waved his phone. The confused Greg folded his arms across his chest. “What
Chapter 38“The Vice-Chancellor wants you in his office right now!” The class representative said and then turned around. He began walking away after delivering the message to Nathan. It was a few minutes to 9 pm and the boys had just concluded their lectures for the morning. They were about to hit the library when the class representative walked to the spot Nathan, Henry, and Charles were standing to give Nathan the message he had just received. Nathan turned to stare at Henry and Charles who were standing on his left and right. He sighed and adjusted the school bag that was hanging around his left arm. “Why would the vice chancellor summon you to his office this morning?” Henry asked. Nathan swung his head from left to right. “I have no idea and I guess the only way to find out is by going to his office right away.”“Should we come with you?” Henry asked. Nathan smiled. “You guys shouldn’t worry about a thing. I’ll be fine.” He replied. When the class captain walked up to them
Chapter 39The three friends traced their way to the famous school mall which was always an exciting place to visit and shop. The mall was stationed on campus to help students shop within the area especially those students who live in the school dormitories. Students like Greg hit the school mall whenever they wanted. There was a cafeteria inside the mall where Greg usually takes Charlotte for lunch. Students who come from low-income families avoid the mall like a plaque else they were going to squander their monthly stipend in a day.When Nathan, Charles, and Henry got to the entrance of the mall, they noticed how packed inside the mall was. They could see the crowd through the glass doors and windows. Word had gone around the school like wildfire that new items were stuffed in the mall. Most of the girls were there for the latest miniso collections while the boys wanted to check out the gadgets. Nathan and his friends walked into the mall. After they took a few steps inside, Nat
“Kelvin is here!”The students continued to whisper-yell and soon, the giggles of desperate girls echoed all over the four corners of the mall.The students who were fixated on their shopping compartments left the scene and strode to the entrance to catch a glimpse of the university’s biggest shot.Kelvin’s lifestyle is the definition of luxury. He goes for whatever he wanted and would go to the end of the world to lay his hands on whatever he wanted.It is said that he has an eye for catchy things.

The girls always crave his presence because he wasn’t always available.Whenever the famous Kelvin turns up on campus, there’s always a wave of tension hovering around other rich kids on campus like Greg. The sight of Kelvin not only intimidates but also infuriates them. They were no match for him and were in n
