Leander's heart raced, praying it wasn't Rex or the government blocking his purchase of the university, not knowing that the identity of the person is someone he would never have anticipated.Leander demanded, "Who are they?”"Before I can accept your offer, you have to convince that person or compel her to stop. The person is a friend of mine, a friend of yours, a student of this university—Brianna," Immediately Dean Walker revealed it, Leander jumped off the chair and lurched back in surprise.Faced with the gravity of the revelation and the feeling of betrayal, he insisted on confirming again, "Are you sure? Hope you aren't telling lies this time around?""Well, I just speak the truth," her voice boomed.However, Leander's eyes narrowed at Ms. Walker, his composure slipping away. He was unable to comprehend Brianna’s apparent act of betrayal. Yet, he decided to refrain from passing judgment prematurely; before drawing any conclusions, he had to verify the correctness of what she sa
The week of tension-filled silence between Leander and Brianna comes to an end as Leander takes the next step, which is to meet Brianna. He had been avoiding Brianna's messages, clearly upset about her stance against his purchase of Etherium University.Leander stepped out of his sleek Rolls-Royce Ghost Prism, while Brianna emerged from her Aston Martin in perfect synchronization. Without hesitation, they closed the distance between them, exchanging warm smiles as they finally stood face to face at the bustling restaurant.They dashed into the restaurant, Leander's eyes darting around until he spotted two empty seats. After they settled into their seats, Brianna sighed softly before muttering, her expression twisted with disdain, "Leander, why have you been ignoring my messages throughout this week? You can't pretend you didn't notice them”Leander blinked, momentarily speechless. Gathering himself swiftly, he responded with a touch of pretense. "Uh, I was busy... I have a lot on my
Leander sat on the plush sofa in the living room, his laptop open before him.At this moment, doubt and uncertainty filled his thoughts. Brianna’s words at the restaurant had turned his glum expression into one of disdain. With each ticking moment, the urgency of the situation pushed him to overreact.While lost in thought, Leander's phone suddenly rang and vibrated on the table before him. His eyebrow shot up as he focused on the caller ID, which showed only love stickers, indicating Brianna was calling. His heart raced at the mere sight of her call. Initially hesitant, he swiftly changed his mind and answered.Brianna greeted, “Hey Leander, are you there?”“I’m listening, Brianna,” Leander’s disinterest was evident in his swift reply.Brianna shot back, "Why did you ditch me at the restaurant? Your reply was unkind, and you were even more cruel by walking away from me. Was it the institution deal that set you off?" Her voice dripped with hurt. "I could still sway things to stop you
Sophia’s head snapped back, her eyes narrowing in response to Leander’s words, revealing her clear contempt for his disregard of the royals and government officials’ endeavors“Yes, that day has begun for me,” he repeated, his words firm.Leander let out a sharp breath as his mind was consumed by Jeeves contributing to Sebastian’s little riches. "Mom, where's Jeeves? I need to find him," he blurted out, urgency lacing his words.Sophia's eyes sparked with intrigue as she sharply inquired, "Do you want to see him? What are you after?"Leander insisted, "I'm not getting anything from him other than to come into the visitor’s room so we can talk. I'm not done on his issue, he is still a traitor, a suspect in my own view." His tone was sharp, filled with unresolved tension. With a sense of urgency, he pressed on, "I want him to clear his name before it's too late""Where's my phone? I need to call him," Sophia frantically scanned the room, her eyes darting from one corner to another. Then
Ding! Leander snatched his phone off the table at the quick notification. He quickly swept away a smudge on the screen and focused on Lindsey's message, the lady he'd connected with at Brianna's aunt Alyssa's birthday bash. The chat showed the exact spot where they planned to meet.Leander quickly typed back, "Dress to impress!"Excited, Leander leaped up and dashed into his bedroom. Reaching the corner leading to his mother's room, he paused briefly. With a quick glance around, he realized his mom was not there.Leander sighed softly and darted into his wardrobe in his room, frantically sifting through clothes. As he searched, Sophia suddenly appeared in the doorway, her warm smile lighting up. "Leander, when are you eating? You haven't had anything since morning," she exclaimed.Glancing back at her warm eyes, Leander chuckled lightly, “Mom, I’m heading back to eat. Got something big to handle now”Sophia shook her head, replying sharply, "How's the university application going? How
Leander inhaled, his eyes conveying appreciation for her words. He was visibly impressed by her admiration for his stylish attire. "Nice, thanks for your approving words. You look sharp too," he quickly replied, matching her pace and energy.Lindsey winked, a sly smirk playing on her lips. "Nothing much, but still, uh, thanks," she shrugged off casually.Curious, Leander quickly interjected, "Wait... do you live around here?"Lindsey quickly scanned the lawn, her fingers brushing away stray hairs from her face. With a deep exhale, she hesitated before speaking."Of course, it's close by," Lindsey chirped, her voice a melody as she shared a quick grin with him, her vivid blue eyes capturing his gaze.He added as he blinked with a follow up gestures, “Uh, I think I finally found what exactly I’m looking for”“And what is it, then?” Lindsey asked.Leander beamed, responding boldly, "You should be named Google because you're exactly what I am looking for""Are you serious?" Lindsey shot b
Just as Leander had left Lindsey, he quickly reached his car. He leaped into the driver's seat, ignited the engine, and zoomed off towards a bustling supermarket.Arriving at the supermarket, Leander swiftly exited his car and plunged into the vibrant chaos of the bustling aisles. He grabbed a shopping cart, surrounded by the familiar atmosphere of fluorescent lights and the sound of conversations.Leander navigated through the aisles with purpose, picking up various items. As he reached the produce section, he bumped into an elderly woman trying to reach a bag of apples on a high shelf."Let me help you with that," Leander said, smiling as he handed her the bag."Thank you, young man," she replied, her eyes flashing. "It's nice to see such kindness”Leander nodded and continued his shopping. He quickly collected the remaining items on his list: a loaf of artisan bread, some gourmet cheese, a bottle of red wine, and a few other necessities.At the checkout counter, the cashier, a youn
Mr. Edward walked into Leander's office as the door crept open. Upon entering, he took a deep gasp, his anxiety weighing on him. As Leander looked up at him, he quickly connected his gaze before muttering, “Master, good day sir!”“Did you do as I asked?” Leander nodded, intrigued.“Yes, sir. I have informed the board members,” Mr. Edward replied with a bow.Leander's new office was a modern masterpiece. Windows flooded the room with light, showing off the city skyline. The walls were elegantly decorated with sleek art pieces, striking a balance between sophistication and clutter-free space. Light bounced off the large mahogany desk, emphasizing Leander's power and authority.Leander sat in the leather seat behind the desk, books on strategy and innovation lined one side of the room, while a high-tech console kept him connected and in control on the other.Leander's fingers intertwined as he pondered Mr. Edward's words. "Make sure they understand the gravity of this. The AI project is
