Cory felt dumb for a few seconds. The voice that had just come over the speaker was not really his worries. His main worry was what the voice had just said. "I understand that I shouldn't have had a fight with that crazy upcoming actress bitch. But ---" Anna trailed off over the speaker. It would seem as though she was making an attempt to take back what she had just said about Elaine. "I shouldn't have had a fight with Elaine. I was just conflicted that day. Following what my father did to me. It made me really sad and mad to the extent that I couldn't really place my feelings, let alone decide how I was feeling precisely." She sighed so heavily that the air puffed blew into Cory's ear. "But don't you think this is going too far? You have locked yourself away in your house for the past three days. Are you really trying to avoid me, or is there something else more than this?" Her voice was labored such that it was evident that she was struggling between taking off on him and keepi
The call had dropped as soon as the caller finished saying what they had to say. Cory didn't know who the owner of the voice was. He had no idea why someone wanted him to go to the Dean office. The Dean? Which Dean? The Dean of his department or the president of the university?! He wasn't sure of which one to choose. He had gone from worrying about Anna to getting caught in another realm and meeting the disciple of the supreme god! And then he had discovered that he had spent three days in the realm even though he barely spent ten minutes there. And now, while he was wondering about that, the supreme god had interrupted his thoughts and assured him that he would not die. The truth was that earlier, Cory had been worried that since his grandfather died and the supreme god switched host, then it meant that he would also die, and the supreme god would switch host. Perhaps with his (Cory's son).But now! The supreme god had just assured him that he (Cory) would not die! The supreme go
Cory didn't even know what to think or do at this point. He just stood there staring. He wished that he had a clue of what he was expecting. He would have been prepared for this drama that was randomly hurled at him. He remained standing where he was without necessarily saying a word. He took a deep breath, trying to regulate the thoughts running to and fro in his mind. That didn't seem to help. His gaze had been fixed on Havill, who was still on still on his knees, gripping at Cory's legs. He slowly looked away from Havill to the president of the school again. He looked away from her to the rest in the room. It was hard to tell what he was looking for at this moment. Perhaps he was looking for the dean who had called him to come to this office. The truth was that if there was anything Cory was certain of. It was the fact that Cory knew that this office was not the president's office. This was the office of the Dean. The fact that the president had traveled through the college abo
"Mr Havill! What happened to him?!" The president exclaimed. Her face became pale. She was shaking. "Don't just stand around. Help him up. Take him to the hospital." She added again, not willing to do either of the things she had ordered. She was not keeping distance because she was wicked or evil. Instead, she was just too weak to go close and do anything! She couldn't even go close to the unconscious man. The people who were around started to run around. Some ran towards Havill to help him up. Others were already on the phone trying to book a VVIP space in the hospital. Although Havill had brought himself down to the earth before Cory, yet that didn't mean that he wasn't as rich and powerful as he used to be! He wasn't a nobody after all! In fact, he was one of the elites of Emerald City. "Step back, everybody!" Cory called all of a sudden. Everyone was stunned when they heard this. All the people were much more worried about what Cory had just said than they were about Havill
Anna was seated in the open lounge of the Viocot Hotel and Suites. She was looking at her phone but her mind was adrift. There were a couple of things troubling her, but because of the manner at which she was staring down at the table, her facial expressions couldn't give her away. Her phone had just rang and she had just finished talking to her father. He had asked her about Cory instead of herself and how she was feeling! Shouldn't her father ask to make amends for the things he did to her? Instead of that, he had asked about Cory instead! The audacity!Although she was mad and ended the call immediately, she had been worried about Cory!That was exactly why she had called him to talk to him. She was surprised that Cory answered the call. She had been calling him ever since she left the penthouse three days ago!After leaving the penthouse with Elaine, she had returned at night to see Cory, but she couldn't enter! The spare key and the code combination would not unlock the door. S
Anna couldn't believe her eyes. She didn't know whether she was held up in a trance or if she was in the right state of mind. The whole information seemed quite foggy and blurry. "Don't you think that's rude?" The young man called at them. Cory's shoes suddenly became glued to that spot where he was! His eyes had turned so red that it was already a wonder that fire was not coming out of them yet!Anna caught all the reactions running from one corner of his face to the other. She was still in disbelief that he would act like that over her. She could swear that the detail of emotion seeped in Cory's face was a highlight of nothing else but jealousy. Not any kind of jealousy, but a fully bloated and formed jealousy. To see Cory being this jealous because of her was something that she could never have imagined in her wildest dream. A great and big part of her was enjoying this moment. She didn't want it to end. In fact, she would trade it for anything!"And by the way, that's not the
After those words, the young man tapped Cory on the shoulder and then started to walk away. While he walked away, he made sure to throw a wink in the way of Anna. It was hard to tell what he was looking to imply with that gesture. Cory felt glued to that spot, following what the man had just said. The man had not only mentioned Havill but had claimed not to be Irmais?Following the fact that Cory couldn't read the information chart of the man, he had thought that the man was Irmais. I mean, that wouldn't be the first time Irmais would disguise himself. But now, the man had not only claimed not to be Irmais, but he also knew Havill? Who then is this young man? Cory couldn't help but wonder. Is he a rich heir, or does his background make the whole city quake, too?"My Lord?!!!" A loud voice came from the door. Cory didn't turn yet. Havill was seen racing through the door. He walked past the young man, almost knocking the man out of the way. "Who's this prick? Better look where you
Cory didn't leave the banquet suite because he was really displeased with the president. Instead, he had left because he couldn't get the thought of the young man off his head. He had only used the mistake of the president as an enhancer of his impatience. He took advantage of the situation and was not remorseful. He could hear Anna calling him, but he didn't listen to her. He knew that she had the abilities and skills of a great manager. If he could entrust the success and growth of the mall to her, then what was the proposal of a mere university that she wouldn't be able to manage?He had walked out of Viocot by now and was making his way to the back of the building. He didn't have difficulty finding the place. Something deep inside of him was enabling his course. When he walked to the back of the building, he was impressed by the way the area was carved out. There were tall fences of strong bricks surrounding the area. The area would almost be mistaken for an abandoned alleyway.
