Upon hearing what Jason said, Robert's eyes squinted, his lips tightened immediately. He couldn't believe the bastard still has the guts to utter nonsense. who does he be thinks he's, not when the mayor is here, he wants to say something, but he can't.However, the mayor immediately faced Robert and friends with dead eyes. Immediately, their legs vibrated, and they walked closer to where Jason was pointing.None of them could even utter a word.They had no choice but to start cleaning the VIP room floor. They moved around quietly, their faces flushed with embarrassment. Every time they looked up, they could see Jason and the others enjoying the show from their plush seats. The humiliation was almost too much to bear, but they knew they had to do as the mayor had ordered. Robert’s hands trembled as he wiped down a table; his mind was racing with anger and frustration. He didn't want his father to hear about this, and secondly, he wanted to beat Jason so much next time, he would kee
The music played softly in the background as Jason and Summer stood on the stage, under the bright lights. The crowd below them started cheering, but Jason’s mind was elsewhere. He could feel his heart beating in his chest as he looked at Summer, unsure of what to do. He wanted to take her hand to guide her in the dance, but he hesitated. Summer has a boyfriend, and Jason didn’t want to overstep any boundaries. He doesn't want anything that would come between Summer and her boyfriend; she's a friend he really wants to keep.If things were different, if Summer didn’t have a boyfriend, he would have held her hand properly; let them enjoy the moment fully. But now he couldn't.Summer stood across from him, her eyes meeting Jason's eyes briefly before looking away. She was feeling a mix of emotions too. Deep down, she regretted lying to Jason about having a boyfriend because she knows he must be thinking about that now, and he would want to respect the boyfriend she doesn't have.Th
Upon hearing Jason's words, Summer managed to smile at Jason, her eyes sparkling with forced excitement. Deep down, she doesn't want him to go, but at the same time she can't do anything about it. Jason deserves the best, and she can't give him any of that.“Don't worry, Jason. Camilla's really nice. She'll contact you, okay? Just don't reach out to her first. Let her make the first move because I'm going to give her your number and picture; if she is interested, she will call.”Summer doesn't want a situation when Camilla would talk to Jason in a nasty manner, so it's better she calls him first.Jason nodded, feeling a mix of nerves, since summer isn't interested and the little things that just happened on the stage were just an incident and nothing more because he doesn't want to hurt Summer in any way. That was why he asked her if she's alright with it. He had always admired Camilla from afar. She was the kind of girl who seemed out of reach, like a star in the sky. But now, wit
Jason stood in the middle of the fancy store, his heart pounding like a drum in his chest. This was his first time doing this, and he could feel the weight of everyone’s eyes on him, which made him uncomfortable; the look on their faces, he could tell they were judging him. He knew they were waiting for him to make a fool of himself, so they could all laughed at him, but Jason wasn’t about to give them that satisfaction they think they are going to have.He wasn’t going to back down; no matter how much they laughed or sneered at him, he's going to get the suit he wants.Jeremy, smug grin, leaned casually against a display case, his arm draped around his girlfriend’s shoulders. “Look at him.”Jeremy said loudly, his voice dripping with sarcasm.“He’s asking for the most expensive thing in the store! Can you believe it? What a joke! He probably doesn’t even know where he is; he must be thinking here is some kind of a roadside store.”Jeremy smiled.“I tried to advise him as a friend,
Jeremy and the rest were frozen in their positions when they saw the manager walk in. Their eyes were wide with shock, and some of them even gasped. It was clear they hadn’t expected to see him there.Jeremy, still a bit nervous, tried to explain the situation.“Sir Jason is poor and needs help; he can't afford anything here.”However, the manager didn't listen to what Jeremy just said; instead, he looked at them with a serious face and said.“Mr.Jason might be poor, but that doesn’t mean he’s not smart. He knows more than you think.”The words hung in the air, making Jeremy and his friends feel even more surprised.Jeremy, still unsure of what was happening; he didn't want to make any mistakes, quickly pointed at Jason.“It’s him, sir.” Jeremy said, his voice dripping with mockery.“But he’s just wasting your time. Jason’s poor! He can’t afford something like that, please don't waste your energy on him, he's useless, very useless.”Jeremy realized the manager must have heard about
Jason just smiled seeing the turn of events. The once mocking and sneering atmosphere had turned into one of stunned silence, with everyone staring at him in disbelief. The manager, after finalizing the purchase, asked where Jason would like the suit to be delivered. For a moment, Jason considered his options. He didn’t want the suit delivered to his dormitory; that would attract too much attention. Besides, he wasn’t ready to show it off just yet. It's not just yet the time and seeing the suit; they would start thinking something else even if he tells them it was fake; the quality of the suit speaks for itself, so it's a bad idea.“No, don’t deliver it.”Jason said, his voice steady and composed. “Keep it here for now. I’ll decide when to pick it up later.”The manager nodded respectfully, understanding Jason’s wish.“Of course, sir. We’ll store it safely for you. Whenever you’re ready, just let us know, and we’ll make sure it’s ready for you.”As Jason spoke, he was already forming
Jason stepped out of the store, feeling the cool breeze brush against his face. He had just picked up some snacks and a drink, thinking about how to spend the rest of the evening after a successful shopping and finally getting his revenge on Jeremy. When his phone buzzed in his pocket, startling him a little.It was an unknown caller. Jason stared at the screen for a moment, unsure whether to pick it up or not. Finally, with a slight hesitation, he answered the call.“Hello?” Jason said, his voice steady but curious.“Jason, it’s Camila Joseph.”A familiar yet distant voice spoke on the other end. “I’ve heard everything from Summer. I’m sending someone to pick you up. Make sure you dress up nicely.”At that moment, Jason’s mind raced, hearing Camila Joseph's voice. He hadn’t expected her to call, especially not today. He thought it would take weeks or months, but why so fast? There was a brief pause as he processed what Camilla just said.“Okay, I’ll be ready.”Jason replied, tryi
At that moment, Jason stood protectively in front of the young girl. Her eyes were wide with fear, her body trembling as she clung to the hope that Jason could save her.Jason still doesn't understand what is going on. He gazed around, and he couldn't see anyone, and the girl had refused to say anything.Without being told, he could tell she is scared to the core.Jason face her again and was about to say something when seven rough-looking men emerged from the shadows.Upon seeing the men, the little girl's hope began to falter. She thought she had successfully run away, and with someone here, they wouldn't be able to get her, but she was wrong. These men looked like ruffians, with hardened faces and cruel smiles—the kind that made someone stomach twist in knots.One of the ruffians, a tall, muscular man with a scar running down his cheek, stepped forward. His voice was rough and commanding.“The boss is waiting inside. Come with us now and make things easy for yourself.”His word
