It was the weekend and by now, Leonard was completely healed from the accident he had with the petty thief.
This weekend, he decided to work more on the school project he had with Susan. As he thought about it, he felt guilty for snapping at her the last time he saw her and he wished he could go back in time to correct or change what he did but now, it was too late and he hated to think that she already had a negative impression about him.
''Son, is everything alright?'' Helene walked in with a curious look on her face.
''Yes Mom, everything is fine. Don't worry.'' he smiled.
Even though he knew it was forced, it was all he could do at that moment and he hoped that his mother wouldn't press on it. Than
An hour later, the Uber driver drove into Madame Dianes' house and the first thing Leonard noticed was how massive it was. The first time he was here, he had been in a rush and in anger because he was mad that she was trying to take advantage of their situation and so, he couldn't see how large it was but now, coming into the compound and seeing the massive building very well had him swooning.''We're here.'' Helene smiled, climbing out of the car.Leonard followed as his eyes were still on the beauty of the building. It was one thing to own a building as large as this and another thing to own it in an elite neighborhood such as this,''This is a real flex.'' he chuckled.''Helene… Leonard! Welcome.'' a loud
After the dinner with Madame Diane and her husband, Leonard, and his mother, Helene went back to their house and to say Helene was happy would be an understatement, she was overjoyed. Now, they could have heaters and good sanitary conditions, the two major things they were lacking in their former house.''Err… Mom?'' Leonard said.It was nearing midnight now but he knew he couldn't sleep. He had to take this exam if he ever wanted to rise up from the current level he was in.''Son, is everything alright?'' Helene asked.She had never seen her son behave this way and she knew that something was wrong somewhere. Leonard sat beside her, wracking his head on the best approach to take.
The next day, Leonard woke up bright and early, ready to face the day. The excitement of the previous night was still very much on his face and he found himself smiling as he walked out of the room and towards the kitchen where he found his mother making some breakfast.''Hey mom.'' Leoanard smiled.''Oh wow! Someone is particularly happy today.'' she grinned, flipping the eggs she was frying.The nice smile wafted throughout the kitchen and in some parts of the living room. His mother was a good cook and he knew that this food would turn out very nicely.''Yep.'' Leonard said.''Care to share?'' she asked. ''Susan.'' Leonard began.''Leonard.'' she said.For several minutes, there was silence on the phone as both of them remained quiet. He didn't know how to approach what they have been avoiding but one way or the other, he knew he had to talk.''Susan.'' he began.The only indication he had that she was still with him was her shallow breathing. He knew he needed to apologize as fast as possible because for one, it was overdue and secondly, it was the proper thing to do.''I'm sorry for the way I reacted the last time we saw each other. What I did was wrong and I hope you find a place in your heart to forgive me,'' he said.<World Domination System 25. Conflicted Feelings
Just as he was about to leave the cafeteria, his phone gave a small beep, indicating he had a call. Glancing at his caller ID, he realized it was Daniel calling him. He froze in the hallway, his thoughts going towards a teacher being angry with him for missing classes.''Hey.'' Leonard said.''Hey… are you almost here?'' he asked.''Yes. Is everything alright?'' Leonard asked.''Yes… anyway since you are almost here, I'll just wait till you get here.''''Alright, see you soon,'' Leonard said.Soon, Leonard got to the set of classes that served as the teaching area. Just at the bend th
''Hey Leo, can I talk to you for a second?'' Daniel asked as soon as he saw Leonard the next day.Ever since he left him at school the previous day, he had a feeling that something was up with Leonard, and seeing him now just buttressed his point that something was definitely wrong.''Sure,'' Leonard said, closing his locker doors.He also had a feeling that they were about to have a serious conversation, one that actually needed his attention.''Look, I know you were quite surprised over what happened yesterday… you know me walking into the elite part of the area…'' Daniel began.''To be honest, I was really surprised. I thought we were frien
''We need to get this,'' Derek said.He knew that what they were about to venture into was something dangerous and they needed to keep this tight-lipped.''What's up?'' Andrew asked.''I need you to keep this between us, I don't want you to tell Dad about it,'' Derek said.Andrew stayed silent for a while, thinking about what his brother said. He knew he was right in a way but at the same time, he knew they ought to tell him in case he could offer some help to them.''I don't need to remind you about our family and what we do.''Coming from a military family, they both knew that they had to keep a
''I better fill this before it's too late.'' Leonard smiled.He couldn't believe what he had just bagged. This was literally his dream, something he had been praying for for a very long time now. He could hardly contain his excitement as he read through the job offer. It was something he could work with and he loved that he had found it at the right time he needed it the most.''Wow! A hundred dollars per hour?! This is insane.''He could hardly believe what he was seeing. Usually, the ones he got offered him about ten to fifteen dollars, and seeing this just felt to him like seeing a million dollars.''I'm going to apply for this,'' he murmured.After fill
