The driver of the car stepped out and hurried to the side. Before he could get to the door, the door had been pushed open. Cory stepped out of the car and walked to the other side to get the door for Anna. Anna gazed at him with a smile after she stepped out. "Thank you." She muttered, staring at him. "Hey, Anna." Dona interrupted the two. Anna reluctantly looked away from the stiff face of Cory to the person who had interrupted her. "Dona?" Anna asked, a warm smile building in the corner of her lips. "Yes, Anna. It's me, Dona." Dona exclaimed excitedly, pushing herself into Anna without warning. She hugged Anna before Anna could even see it coming. She seemed quite jumpy and really excited to see Anna. Anna was flushed by how excited Dona was. "I'm glad that I'm finally meeting you. It has always been a dream to meet the mysterious daughter of the great and mighty Lord Theo. You have no idea how popular this would make me." Dona didn't hide any of the feelings she was nursing
Anna and Cory walked to join the rest of the girls. The girls were all pretty. It was hard to tell who was the prettiest of them all, but given the fact that Dona was the birthday girl, she stood out. Well, not to be compared to the fit of Anna, of course. Anna was class apart. Anna walked to a seat on a chair that was vacant. "Hiiiii!!!" All the girls called as Anna walked closer to them. "Hi, girls. We're definitely having lots of fun today, are we not?" Anna replied with her face covered in a big smile. "We are very happy to finally meet you." One of the girls said. "To many people, you were already like a myth. I can't believe that you are real." Another girl added. Anna couldn't help but blush really hard. Of course, she had always lived her life on a low profile, but she could never have imagined that a lot of girls idolized her in such a grand manner. "Come on, don't be like that, please. Today is not about me. Today is about Dona here. Let us do our best to make today m
The blonde and the red-haired girl jumped on their feet at once and sprinted towards the young men. Two of the men received the two girls in their arms. Each man hugged his woman. "Hey babe." The blonde leaned in and kissed her boyfriend. "What took you so long?" The red-haired complained, not willing to kiss her boyfriend. But the masculine fellow held her face and pushed it into his. He kissed her until she succumbed to him. Behind them, there was another couple. A guy and a lady. After the affections and love, they all walked to join the rest who were waiting patiently at the table. "Hey, birthday girl!!" The new girl danced around for a while before jumping into Dona's arms. She giggled hard and hugged her warmly and tightly for a long time. "Let her breathe, please." The boyfriend of the new girl called. She finally let go of Dona and held both of her hands. "Dang girl, you look so breathtaking. If I didn't have a boyfriend, I probably will be all over your socials stal
The whole space was silent for a while. Everyone looked very speechless following what Cory had just said. All eyes were running across his face as though they were trying to confirm the veracity of what he had just said. Suddenly, one of them burst out laughing. It was the boyfriend of the new girl. He laughed so hard that he almost lost his voice. All attention shifted from Cory to the guy who was laughing. Their faces paved for smiles, too. This must be a joke. There was no other way to interpret this ridiculous claim Cory had just made. The guy was clutching his stomach as he tried to ease himself and say something. "Please pardon me. " The guy finally got a hold of himself after several attempts failed. "Please, someone tell me that I am right. This guy is not only a bodyguard, right?" The guy asked, looking away from Cory to the rest of the group. "He does stand-up comedies, too, right? Or is he a content creator whose discipline is entertainment?" The guy continued in his
It would seem as though it was a contest of shock and twists. There were jaws hanging in the air, but some had fallen to the floor. All eyes were supplanted on the interesting frame of this stand-up comedian who was constantly doing his best to crack the joke of the century. "Cory!!!" Anna didn't even know when she yelled. When they had left the restroom, she had thought that he had listened to her because he cared about her. But here they are! And what had he just said! He would buy what? The whole Eagleville Suprr Mall?!!!"He is definitely a lunatic!" Ella exclaimed, not willing to close her mouth even after she said that. "Do you even know what you are talking about?" One of the guys attacked. "First, you claimed that you were going to buy each of us a Maybach. A Maybach that's worth over twenty million. There are eight of us here. That's about two hundred million dollars!" The guy went silent for a while. He was trying so hard to process the weight of what he was saying. Eve
Harry hurriedly walked into the Eagleville Suprr Mall as the automatic door paved before him. He ran as he walked through the lobby towards the elevator, which led to his father's restaurant. Walking into the VVIP section, he found out that the space was empty. He hurried towards the table, which was placed in the center of the space. The bottles of wine were unopened, as well as other bottles of alcohol. He saw a bandana on the chair. "Where did they go? Did they already finish the party?" He wondered as he walked around. He lifted his gaze to look towards the counter. "Why is there no waitress in sight? Shouldn't they be over there? Are these people tired of living!" He gritted his teeth. "Did Dona ask all the waitresses to leave?" Harry has too many questions more than he could provide answers for. "It doesn't seem like they left finished. It seemed as though something had happened, and they had to leave early." He could deduce that much fact because of the unopened bottle
"Cory!" Anna called him for the last time. Cory, who was about to open the door of the hall, stopped all of a sudden. His palm was still wrapped around the handle of the door. Just a little turn would see the door open. He turned to look at her. "I don't know why I am doing this." She admitted finally. "But something deep inside of me is saying I can trust you." She added, looking all-careful as well as scared. "I don't know if I have become a lunatic as you, but please tell me that you know what you are doing." Anna pleaded. From her facial reactions, it was glaring that she was clueless. Whatever it was that she was holding on to, it was delicate. Cory slowly let go of the door handle and turned fully to face her. He placed his left palm on a side of his face and gently folded her cheek. "Look at me." He called. She had shuddered under his touch, which made her break sight, looking to the ground. She raised her head to look him in the eyes. "You don't have to be scared of a
There was stillness across the hall. No one was saying anything. The board members seemed way too stunned to find words for what was happening. All eyes were relentlessly staring at Cory. It would seem as though he had been elevated to the position of a god. Lord Theo couldn't choose his own actions either. He struggled to make sense of this as he looked away from Cory to his daughter. He repeated that sequence of action over and over again until there was no reason to keep up the count. Suddenly, the head of the board signaled at one of the many members. The person who had just been signaled rose to his feet. He was an elderly man but not as old as the head of the board. Age seemed to have a significant role in the order of status in the board's circumference. The man stopped right in front of the head of the board. The head of the board reached into a drawer and brought out something. Cory couldn't tell what the thing was. All he could deduce was that it was obviously an objec
