Richard looked at the whole school that was bursting with activity. Since the last time he had been at his savior’s place for dinner, he hadn’t heard a word again and so even when he ought to have resumed there first, he had decided to come here first. “Are you really going to do this? There’s no point of getting some low level degree again with your accomplishments.” Niko said with dissatisfaction. Besides, he didn’t see the point of Richard repaying the debt by his own self.“If he didn’t sacrifice all that pain to climb the mountain top with another person for me back in that year, I would have died there. Not meeting master or even you.” “One must show appreciation to people that do deserve it. If they refuse this time, then I’ll step back and repay him some other way.” Seeing how resolute he was, Niko nodded and didn’t say anything. Although they had a very good view of the school from here, they were parked on the other side and some distance away from there. “So what would
The mother and daughter pair were stunned the moment they realized that the reason why there was so much crowd was because of Richard. “Just from his charisma, you can already tell that he’s some noble man, I really can’t wait to know his identity.” “Do you think he would take the title of the school prince from Justin?” A second year asked rather loudly making a certain kind of calm do descend in the open space. “We still don’t know who he is.” Another girl mumbled, her voice however, was audible enough in the just quiet room. “Tsk. You people are so ignorant. Just some silly pretty boy can have you all acting like little kids with no knowledge of anything. If he’s someone we should know, we would know by now.” One of the third year student, Helene, said. It was no secret that Helene, one of the top socialite miss in the capital was interested in Justin. At first, the young girl had kept quiet but the moment she saw that he was affecting Justin’s prestige, she had attacked immedi
Are you already at the office?” Richard asks Niko through the ear buds that were connected to his phone as he walked out of the school. To anyone looking, from afar, they would hardly see anything as the buds were designed to be his skin color exactly and had no other trade mark. It made it easier to communicate with all the people around him this way. “Hmmm, your team is always better like always, everything has been set up.” Niko, who was currently looking at the new headquarters they had set up with a satisfied smile replied. He had his reservations about them moving the Country X headquarters to their capital. Since they started the company, the major thing they used to do was set up in a place with less bustle because he made it a point of developing places with lesser opportunities. Richard had however insisted on it coming here and since they were going to be here for the next few years, they could just develop it alongside. The both of them started to discuss some of the
Nico was seated behind the desk. His fingers massaged his temple as he sighed in exasperation. The door had only been knocked once before it was opened. He could feel the authoritative aura that entered the room and when he looked up he smiled widely.‘’ Niko.” Richard called out , stretching his hand forward and smiling at the man. Nico stood from his chair abruptly, strolling towards Richard with hidden nervousness. Niko remembers the last time he and Richard had a talk. While it had not ended up as pleasantly as he had hoped, he knew that there were lines he couldn't cross. Both men shook hands, Niko taking the opportunity to glance down at Richard's attire. The simple top and pants was totally making him seem like the casual student that his friend and boss suddenly wanted to be. He seemed entirely different. Ever since he had come to this new city, communication between the both of them had somehow narrowed.“Richard.” he responded, shaking the man's hand and then
Back in the university,Elise stood across her hostel hallway, exhausted. Unlike what normally happens, she had managed to stir her mother away from the idea of getting her a well guarded apartment in a gated community.Even though she was wild and spoilt with her dad, with her mom, she had to be careful about anything she wanted to do. It was always like living in her shadows. Elise had goals of her own. She wanted a shot at the world on her own.While living in an apartment had been an idea in her mind for quite some time, she didn't want it to be powered by her mother. If she had accepted the offer then the woman would never have stopped making her life miserable.She put her papers on top of the glass table and slumped onto the large leather coach at the corner of the room. The hostel was top-tier. She selected one that met her standards. Not just her standards, her mother’s standards too as it was the best and most expensive one in the school. The best part of it was that
A few days later in the university, The rays of the sun pierced through the curtains of the hostel that beautiful morning. Elise, who had been fast asleep in her bed, is woken up by the soft knock on her door. She stares around, trying to shield her eyes from the burning light of the sun as she sets her feet on the carpet and moves towards the door with haste. She was never a morning person.“What?’’ She asked with irritability. On the other side of the door stood Sandra. When Elise saw her, she rolled her eyes and dropped her shoulders. She had no interest in dealing with this right now.“Good morning to you as well.” Sandra answered sarcastically. She had a big smile on her face as she rests her head lazily over the frame of the door and stares at a lease with a tank top and a pair of shorts. “I happen to have an emergency and I locked myself out of my hostel.’’ Elise could not believe what she was fvcking hearing right now. She had lost a good chunk of sleep while she w
The last few days had been full of work for Richard. Even though he never showed his face, he usually dealt with a lot of things behind the scenes, after all, if someone else could do the things he did, then the company wouldn’t even be his. After finishing up the bulk of it, he decided to make an appearance in school today. From his understanding, they would have already started classes but most of it would most likely just be the introductory. For someone that had done so many real estate projects, his course was not exactly a big deal to him. Besides, his major forte was technology. However, he also respected that a girl like Elise would go for a course like that. She seemed like someone that would go for courses like international relations. Since he had no idea about the school forum, the moment he entered the school, most of the girls hurriedly started passing the news. “See who’s back!” “I knew he was going to come back. He must have just been too ashamed these last few d
The whole class was eager the moment they heard the lecturer’s words. Clearly he had very terrible luck, after all, who didn’t know the kind of person that this professor was very strict. Normally, professors like him won’t take first years but he had asked for it with the claim that he wanted to be sure that the students that came into his class in their final years had a good background. “Okay sir.” Richard accepted calmly his demeanor not changing in the slightest. “First question. How do you affordably capture real-time, equipment-level performance data?” The man asked. The students looked at each other confused, this shouldn’t be a question that a first year student should know right. “Anyone can capture equipment-level data using off-the-shelf hardware from legacy device manufacturers…..” Richard started and the more he talked, the more the look on the lecturer face changed.“In addition, many of these “smart meter” devices can only capture data at 15-minute intervals.
