How could it be him?!" The drink that Ethan held fell to the ground. He couldn't believe his eyes. Susan gasped as she saw Levi mount the stage. Her mouth could not close as shivers ran down her spine. "What? Do you know the new president?", His father looked at her weirdly." The new president is your friend?" He asked with joy."Uhh,I..."Susan mumbled. She didn't know how to tell her father that the thing was just on the contrary of what he thought...Ivy stood up as she saw Levi mounting the stage. "Father..." She turned to David,who's also looking at the stage with his eyes wide open. That young man is the new president! That means their company would survive!His hands were shaking uncontrollably,with tears in his eyes. And Carlos, as he looked in astonishment as the young man took his seat,the first thing he wanted to do was running away at once. Never in his wildest dreams could he believe that the poor boy he saw could be a big shot.He's screwed... "If you can all ha
"Susan, look at him. Now!" Her father all but commanded. Maybe if he knew what Susan did it would help her to better understand why her daughter was behaving in such a way but he had no idea about the terrible things she said to Levi at the bar and he couldn't relate to why she was so embarrassed. When her father realized that it was a fruitless battle, he turned to Levi and said, "I am so sorry about this. I wanted you to meet her..." "Why?" Levi interrupted. "Is she beautiful?" "She is gorgeous!" Her father said without hesitating. "Well then I want to see her. Raise your face young lady," he spoke. "Come on now Susan, Mr. Strauss wants to see your face." Susan's heart was overjoyed. Maybe she hadn't totally ruined her chances with him. Maybe she still stood a chance to make him hers. With a soft blush on her face and a cute smile, she raised her face to look at him. Levi sighed when he looked at her. "Huh, I am disappointed in you, sir. You told me she was gorgeous but f
Ivy didn't understand what had come over her. She couldn't stop her face from heating up and her brain from thinking about the kind of impression she was making. She didn't want Levi to think that she was only blushing because a multi millionaire was talking to her. She never cared about money. Hell, she never cared about men but there was something about Levi that kept drawing her to him. It was a pull she didn't know how to resist, one she didn't even want to resist. "Thank you Levi," she said softly, avoiding his gaze. Levi smiled. "Mr. David, I don't mean to be rude but can I steal your daughter for some time?" Levi asked. "Of course. As long as you bring her back in one-piece." "Oh I will certainly do that. Enjoy the show." Levi said and walked away with Ivy. "So, is there a reason why you wanted to steal me?" Ivy asked as she placed her hand in his and walked. "Well, I was hoping to get you some drinks and then learn more about you." "That sounds like a wonderful ide
School always felt like a battlefield, especially when Levi knew that he had more important responsibility outside the four walls of the institute that he had to go to everyday. "Levi, are you there?" He heard his uncle's voice through his phone and quickly realized that he was on a call with the man. "Yes uncle. I can hear you." "Where did your mind go just now?" "I'm sitting outside my school building. And I am contemplating a lot of things right now." "Things like?" "How stressful it is combining school with work. It's a bit too much." "Oh dear. I apologize for the stress you are going through. Do you want to quit?" His uncle asked "No. No, I can't do that. Who will I be if I start quitting just because something got tough. I just need to pull through this. I will be fine." His uncle was happy to hear that. He loved the fact that he was resilient. It reminded him a lot of his brother "You sound just like your father. I love the fact that you are strong and resilie
"Are you saying no to a direct order?" Cody said. "What direct order? Where is the order coming from? Are you not the one enforcing this on me?" "Brit, I will have you know that I am the chairman of the student union and whatever I say is an order that you should not disobey. If you do, there will be consequences.""Are you threatening me right now?" Brittany wasn't scared of Cody. She knew all the tactics he loved using in order to get what he wanted. What she was scared of was her grades being tampered with because she disobeyed authorities but she wasn't a fool, she knew that it would be impossible to do the task that he had assigned to her and if she knew him at all, she knew that he didn't do anything without thinking it through. It simply means that he has a purpose for his actions and the sooner she found out what he wanted, the better it would be for her. "I am warning you to not take me for granted. You will regret it if you do that." "Cody you can't do anything to me an
Cody's words stroke an interest in him and made him more interested in the offer. He has always wanted to punish Cody and now he was being given the opportunity on a sliver platter. It was a glorious opportunity. "I'll take that bet, Cody. And when she does get that sponsorship, you need to leave her alone and never bother her again. Have I made myself clear?" Levi said without flinching. Cody couldn't help but stand, amazed at what the young boy was saying with so much confidence. "It will be so beautiful and magnificent when I get to torture and destroy you for this nonsense you are about to do. Trust me when I say that I will not relent neither will I be sad about it," he said with pride. "Oh. Trust me, you will regret everything you are about to do right now. If I should even give you a piece of advice, I would say that you don't bite more than you can chew because if you do, you will end up spitting it all out." "Do you have any idea who I am? I bet you don't. That's why y
"Are you serious?!" Brittany nearly screamed. "Yes. This is a wonderful proposal and this company is always looking for new ways to support the youths in our community so this will be a wonderful opportunity for us to do just that." "Oh this is wonderful. Thank you sir. Thank you so much!" Brittany was so giddy and Levi couldn't help but stare at her in awe. He loved the fact that he could make her happy. "Alright. Just meet with the accountant and let him transfer some of the funds that you will be needing for starters but I will need a document explaining your budget and how you plan to dispense it." "Oh that won't be a problem sir. I will get that to you tomorrow." "Here," Steven removed his card and stretched it to Brittany. "That's my card. My email address is on it. You can just email it to me to save you the stress of coming down here again.""It wouldn't be a problem at all. Trust me!""Well, I still insist that you take this. It might just come in handy.""Okay," Britta
"Brittany, let it go!" Levi advised when he saw her still boiling with anger. "No, how can you say that?! This boy lied to us," she argued. "I know. But we have more important things to take care of than this. Just let it go." Brittany looked at Cody who had a stupid smirk on his face. She couldn't believe that he wouldn't have to eat his own words after everything he has done. She wanted so badly for him to experience pain and experience it in abundance but because of the respect she had for Levi, she decided to let it go. But she knew that he would fall into her trap again and when next he does, she will ensure that he is unable to get out of it. Everything would be in place to ruin his life if he ever tried such nonsense with her again. "Brittany, let's go. You have a call," Levi touched her shoulders and pulled her away from Cody. He knew that he wouldn't allow the bastard to get away with it. But he couldn't fight him just to get him to do it. He cared too much about his skin
