The Student Billionaire

Chapter 6

Damson was surprised to see the vice chancellor and was more surprised when he asked him to come with him.

Everyone around watched as the vice chancellor stood in front of Damson and waited for him to respond to him.

“How does the vice chancellor know him?”

“Why is he here?”

“Why couldn't he just call Damson to his office?

“Don't you think it's weird that the vice chancellor came with someone in a Bently to see him?”

“How can someone poor like Brad get special attention from the vice chancellor?”

Murmurs and questions filled the air as everyone was trying to understand what was going on.

“Mr Malcom. we need to go.” the vice chancellor said again, clearing his throat.

“Alright.” Damson nodded as he followed the vice chancellor to the car, with everyone staring at them till the car got out of sight.

Damson kept wondering why the vice chancellor came for him. He also noticed that the vice chancellor called him by his last name with a hint of respect in his tone.

It was rare for the vice chancellor to refer to people by their last name and it is even more surprising that it is someone like him he treated with respect.

“Does it mean that the vice chancellor knows about his secret? Does he know who he truly is?” he thought to himself.

“I'm sure he does. I'm sure he has found out already.”

Damson was really curious to know why the vice chancellor came for him. He couldn't hold it any longer and quietly tapped him, calling his attention.

“Why did you come for me sir? Where are we going? Is everything alright?” Damson asked

“Oh yes. Everything is fine. I'm taking you to meet your brother. He's waiting for you in my office.” The vice chancellor explained.

“My brother? I have a brother? I don't remember my parents telling me I have a brother. I thought I was an only child.” Damson was confused.

Few minutes later, the car parked in front of the vice chancellor's office. They got out of the car and made their way into the office.

Inside the office sat a man, he had a buzz haircut, and was dressed in a shirt and trousers. He also had some visible scars on his arms, neck and face.

Damson hesitated for a bit before walking towards him. As soon as his brother noticed him, he stood up and hugged him.

I'm so glad you're alive. He said smiling. I thought you were dead or lost forever.

“Are you really my brother?” Damson asked with raised eyebrows. His elder brother could see the confusion on his face.

“How about we sit and I explain to you.” He said, as he sat down waiting for Damson to do the same.

“I'm sure mum and dad already explained the test you had to pass through for you to the heir to the company. I also went through the same test.”

“After spending some time in the orphanage. I got adopted into a lovely family and started living a normal life.”

“I graduated from university and joined the military. They found me and told me about the truth.”

“I was told to come back and manage the company but I was not interested. I already took an oath to serve the country.” he explained.

Damson listened as his brother explained, nodding at intervals.

“You might also be wondering why our parents didn't tell you the day you met them” he continued.

There was so much you could accept in a day.

“This is a lot.” Damson sighed as he rubbed his hands over his face.

“Is this why you came to see me in school? To explain who you are to me?” he asked his brother.

“Oh, no. The reason I'm here is to let you know that our father wants you to manage the main company as soon as possible. He said bringing out some sheets of paper, handing them over to Damson.”

“Stellar tech.” Damson muttered as he ran his eyes through the papers.

“Stellar tech is a subsidiary of Stellarcorp. It creates technology for space exploration. They mainly work closely with the government space agencies and private enterprises.” His brother explained.

“I know Stellarcorp. Damson said excitedly. It is the biggest company in the city.”

“Are you saying Stellarcorp is the company father wants me to manage?”

“Yes, it is.” His brother replied, nodding his head.

“You are the heir to the company. You now own Stellarcorp."

"Although Stellarcorp isn't the only company father has. He has other small companies scattered across the city. You're also in control of them."

Damson let out a huge sigh as he was trying to understand what his brother just told him. Everything was moving very fast.

Stellarcorp is a very big company and it was his to run and own.

“We can talk about this later.” His brother said, bringing him out of his thought.

“How about you show me around your university, we eat, catch up and then I drive you back to your dorm?” He asked.

“Yeah, we can do that.” Damson replied.

“Can we go to the mall to get you a change of clothes? Your clothes look a little….not too good.” His brother said, eyeing his clothes.

“Oh shit! I totally forgot the kitchen staff poured slimy water on me.” Damson exclaimed. He looked down at his clothes and was ashamed his brother saw him looking like that.

He soon shrugged it off as they made their way out of the office.

It was late at night when Damson got back to the dorm. He had so much fun with his brother that he forgot that time was running out.

“Where have you been!?” His roommate Fred yelled at him as soon as he opened the door.

“We've been trying to reach you.” Luke the other roommate said to him as he stood in front of Damson, blocking him from going further into the room.

“The vice chancellor came to pick you up and we thought you were in trouble.”

“Why did he call for you?”

"Was it because you haven't paid your school fee?"

“Did you offend him?”

"What did you do when you got to his office?"

“What are these bags? You went shopping?”

“Guys!” Damson shouted. “One question at a time.”

“Fine, fine.” Luke said, rolling his eyes.

“Did you go shopping with the vice chancellor?” He asked, looking into the bags Damson brought into the room.

“Oh, no.” The vice chancellor paid me for some errands I ran for him a few days ago, so I used the money to get some clothes for myself.

Damson lied as he wasn't ready to tell his roommates he was about to take over and run the biggest company in the city.

He is also yet to process everything that has happened, from finding out he has a brother to running a company.

He also wanted to keep it a secret.

He could have just called you to his office. Why did he have to come to the cafeteria to see you?” Fred asked, getting suspicious.

"The vice chancellor never comes to visit students, he sends for them"

“Have you guys had dinner? You probably haven't. I'm starving. Let's go get something to eat. I'll pay!” Damson said, smiling as he tried to change the subject.

“Sure! Let's go.” Fred and Luke said, grinning happily, forgetting about the shopping bags.

Before they could leave the room, they heard a loud bang at the door.

“Damson! Are you in there!?”

“Step out of the room before we break down this door!”

“Quit hiding and come out!”

“Get your butt out of the room now!”

Voices yelled out in anger.
