"What a shame” Amelia echoed, disappointed that Richard could courageously say such things to her face without being ashamed of it.While this conversation was going on, Richard got a call on his phone and realized that it was Mr James who was trying to reach him. He couldn't pick this call in front of Amelia so he had to excuse himself.“Just give me a few seconds. I want to make use of the restroom,” Richard immediately excused himself.Richard immediately left her and headed to the restaurant. This was an important call he had to attend to. Mr James wouldn't call him unless it was something really important.Meanwhile, Amelia was all alone in the hall waiting for Richard .She was approached by a young man who looked well-dressed in an expensive suit. He wore an expensive watch and shoes. No doubt anyone could easily tell that he was a wealthy man.He had been admiring Amelia from afar and was about to approach her before Richard interrupted initially. Amelia was a ver
Then Nathan gave a signal to some men outside the restaurant to come over to the hall.Within a few minutes, Richard was surrounded by several men that were huge in appearance, broad-shouldered, tall and fiercely looking.Richard didn't understand the reason why Nathan would want this man to come over and surround him; perhaps he did not understand what Nathan meant by that he was going to use his power against him.“I want you to throw this man out of this place. I have tried to offer him some amount of money for him to leave this young lady for me, but he, had refused, so I had no choice but to throw him out of this place by force”, Nathan vehemently.It was at this point Richard understood what was going on.“Stop right there and do not think of coming any closer”, Richard said, as the men came closer to him.They were surprised to hear the bold statement from Richard and stood still to hear him out.“I know you are men working under Nathan, but you could earn much more workin
“We are done with what you wanted us to do so we can have the $300,000”the leader uttered.“I won't be able to give you that amount of money,” Richard uttered.When they heard this statement from Richard they were really furious.“Will you be able to bear the consequences of what you just said? I doubt you can. Just give us that amount of money and let's get out of here” the leader said.The men this time around were really furious and were vibrating ready to pounce on Richard .‘I don't have that amount of money, so where do you want me to get that amount to pay you? 'Richard said.Amelia , at this point, was already under so much pressure and helpless, she could not do anything about this situation even though she didn't like Richard , she did not want any harm to happen to him.It was at this point one of the men took one of the chairs close to him and was about to hit Richard with it.“Go to hell you man,” he said furiously.But he noticed a strong hand preventing him from thr
It was at this point that Richard discovered that he had uttered something.“I did not say anything, I'm just appreciating Mr Thomas for coming to our rescue”, Richard reluctantly said.Since Amelia did not hear clearly what Richard said, she let it go.She was still a bit curious to know why Thomas was there at the exact time that Richard was about to be beaten.When Thomas realized this, he decided to still remind Amelia of the reason why he was there so that she would not suspect Richard further.“Like I said earlier, I was just passing by when I found out something like this was happening, and I came to resolve the issue, so now that I'm done here I will have to take my leave”, Thomas said convincingly.Amelia felt convinced by Thomas' words because that was the only way that she could explain the situation.Thomas left the scene with his men. Only Richard and Amelia were left, but they also separated because they had been able to achieve the purpose of their meeting.Amelia
After the meeting with his grandfather, Richard headed back to his dorm but the discussion he had with his grandfather still weighed heavily on his heart.The next day at school, he received a call from Mr James to meet him up at the closest restaurant.Since Richard had just completed his class, he quickly hurried up to meet Mr James to find out the reason why he wanted to see him.As he entered the Golden Lantern restaurant, he noticed Mr James signaling to him.“Over here, Richard” Mr James waved.Richard went close to meet Mr James and sat on the seat.“I called you over to present the three gifts that your grandfather had promised to give to you”, Mr James said.Richard was curious to know the gift that Mr Prescott was probably going to give him.James immediately made a signal. As Richard turned to look, he noticed a lady in the midst of two men approaching them. She was putting on a short black skirt and a crop top. Her outfit was really exposing, and it revealed her long legs,
Richard had decided to spend quality time with Amelia and her friends.Vivian and Angela were close friends of Amelia.Richard didn't hear the conversation between the three girls as he was still busy eating. When he saw Amelia and the others preparing to leave, he hurriedly raised his head and asked “what are you guys going to do?”.“All you know is eating. Didn't you hear what we said just now?” Angela raised her eyes and mocked Richard.“No” Richard shook his head helplessly.“Sigh, I must admit it is bad luck Amelia has someone like you to be her boyfriend! You have been eating since we entered the restaurant.Are you a pig?” Angela looked at Richard and said with a disgusted tone.Amelia glared at Angela before walking up to Richard and saying “Richard, we are planning to go to collective stroke with Vivian. Do you want to come with us?”“Collective stroke?” Richard was surprised.He wanted to reject her, but Angela grabbed Richard and shouted “Ah, Richard, since you have nothing t
“If you hate me, you can look away”. Vivian showed a rare expression of anger and spoke in a cold tone. Then she turned to her guest and said, “Amelia, Angela, let's go !”After saying this, Vivian prepared to leave.“Vivian, wait!” However, just as Vivian was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard Sandra call after her.“Yes?” Vivian turned to Sandra and asked calmly.“Vivian, I remember you were a Prodigy in collective strokes. No matter who sees you, they will praise you. No matter what the competition was, you would always be in first place and I would always be in second place. That makes me very uncomfortable,” Sandra said to Vivian expressionlessly.When Vivian heard that Sandra wanted to compete with her on piano, a strange look flashed in her eyes. Then she said expressionlessly, “Sandra, I know your piano skills very well. You don't have any talent in this area at all!”“Do you really think you are so great?” After Sandra heard Vivian's words, a trace of anger fl
“Vivian I remember that you were best at ‘When a Man loves a woman’ back then. Let my hobby compete with you with that song. What do you think?”Sandra turns her head and said to Vivian.“Sure”Vivian noded without hesitation.Morris, on the other hand looked in different.Although “When a Man Loves a Woman”was one of the top 10 piano pieces, compared to other famous piano pieces, “When a Man loves a woman”was kindly simpler.It was just that the ending might be a little difficult.For Vivian, choosing this song did not give her any advantage at all.She hadn't played this song for many years, so it was inevitable that she would make some mistakes. This song was Charles Anderson's famous song, so Morris must be familiar with it.Sandra obviously knew this, which was why she deliberately made things difficult for Vivian and chose this song.Amelia's eyes flashed with worry when she saw Vivian agree to it.She knew that Vivian was too competitive. Even if she knew that this song would no
