“Jasmine? Mindy! Where are you two going?” shouted an old man rather coldly. “We’re going out to play, grandpa!” “No you aren’t! Both of you, get back here right this instant! These kids are never to leave the house, not even a single step! Do I make myself clear?” shouted the old man as he turned to look at a few servants. “Understood, master!” “But… but why, grandpa? Why can the rest of our friends go out to play? Why can’t we do the same? We want to go to kindergarten and have fun with our friends!” replied Jasmine who was around the age of six then. Despite her young age, she was already starting to question her grandpa’s decisions. The only response she received, however, was a tight slap across her face! That was the first time Jasmine had ever been hit. Their grandpa loved them dearly. Apart from the stars and the moon, he would do his best to give them anything they pleased. In all honesty, Mindy and Jasmine were blessed with the greatest gift that any child could
After saying that, he went to his table to take a seat. Isabelle almost exploded in anger after hearing their responses. Their retaliation was completely unexpected! Especially from Gerald. He had been a thorn in her side from the very beginning. His reluctance to obey her bidding was akin to stepping on a landmine. How dare he challenge her pride in front of everyone else! She was so pissed that she immediately tossed her tumbler in his direction! Thankfully, its liquid contents were only able to splash on the floor in front of his desk. “Repeat that one more time to my face! Go on! I dare you!” Gerald simply stared at the fuming girl. In the end, she was just another spoiled upper-class brat who thought the entire world revolved around her. “With pleasure! I could say it ten more times if you need me to! Listen closely now, wouldn’t want you to miss it this time! I said that we won’t be able to lift all that up the stairs! What else do you want from us?” replied Gerald,
With that, both of them then left the classroom. “I thought you were here on vacation. Pray tell, why are you doing in this university?” “To get an education of course. Actually, I should be asking you that question. What are you doing here?” replied Gerald. While they didn’t particularly hold any grudges against each other, Warren didn’t particularly like being around Gerald, and the same went vice versa. “Since we’re already talking about it, I’ll just make things clear to you now. For starters, I’m not the only one here. Maia and a few others came together with me. I can’t tell you what exactly we’re doing here, but if you know what’s best for you, you’d better keep your mouth zipped tight when it comes to us. Our identity is not to be revealed under any circumstances! This is my first and final warning, so you better remember that!” Once he was done with his explanation, Warren then turned around before walking away from Gerald. ‘Maybe they’re here because of a mission?
Sometime after Gerald left, a few other volunteers began feeling sorry for themselves. After all, they wanted to meet the millionaire too! It was just their luck that they weren’t present at the time Gerald left that massive donation. They could’ve used that chance to get to know him! Alas, by the time they finally found out about the massive donation that had been made, Gerald was already long gone. Soon after, the volunteers then left the area. It was around then when loud cheers could be heard coming from inside a classroom. “Unbelievable! Stella’s donated four and a half thousand dollars to charity today!” exclaimed a few of her classmates in excitement. Stella had earlier noticed that there was a donation campaign going on when she arrived at the university. Seeing no harm in donating for a cause, she did just that. While the donated sum was nothing much to her and she hadn’t really hadn’t intended to bring the topic up as they were chatting, a slip of her tongue cause
The entire classroom was still in a daze after all that exhilaration. The news had obviously gotten to the ears of their class lecturer as well. Since Stella and Fabian were getting honors and both of them were in his class, that meant that even he was going to become well-known! An announcement soon came, stating that everyone from the degree program needed to attend the donor appreciation event. Such an event was a big deal in the campus since only a few other events—like sports day—gave students a chance to increase their popularity. Upon hearing that, the duo’s classmates were all in for it! After all, how couldn’t they be after finding out that two of their classmates were soon going to be famous? It was after a short lunch break when everyone from the degree program started heading toward the school hall. Gerald, however, started heading for their classroom instead. “Aren’t you attending the event, Gerald?” asked Marven. “I’m not!” replied Gerald. He had attended
The statement had come from Isabelle who was currently clapping loudly as she watched Warren ascend the stage. Seeing her reaction, Gerald simply rolled his eyes. “How did you get acquainted with Brother Warren, Isabelle? I thought he just got transferred here very recently!” asked one of her friends curiously. “Haha… Well, you know that my brother is friends with our school’s popular Jamier, right? Since Jamier and Warren are good friends, it’s only natural for me to know him!” “I see!” “Speaking of which, see that girl beside Warren? I think her name is Maia. She’s pretty, isn’t she? I have a hunch that she probably likes Warren a lot since they even transferred here together!” added Isabelle. Though Warren was garnering all the attention for now, in her mind, Isabelle was sure that Brother Fabian would still be the eventual star of the day. With that, she stopped talking and began focusing on listening to the announcements again. After a few more people got on stage,
“Also from the Department of Economics and Management’s third class, the top donor donated a grand total of… Five hundred thousand dollars!” shouted the host excitedly. The students’ response to that announcement was an immense roar of both shock and awe. Five hundred thousand dollars?! To think that they had already considered Fabian’s fifteen thousand dollar donation to be over the top! Even after adding what the two goddesses had donated, their total amount still couldn’t beat the amount of cash the top donor had given to charity! Five hundred thousand dollars… In cold hard cash, that amount could easily reach even the hall’s ceiling! The students weren’t the only ones in awe either. Even the school’s leaders and lecturers got up from their seats, clapping in utter shock at that colossal amount. While all this was happening, Warren and Maia were busy peeking at Fabian and Stella. Fabian and Stella themselves looked completely astounded. Someone from their class had don
Since he was definitely going to look bad if he didn’t fetch the water this time around, Gerald and Marven left the hall. In his mind, Gerald was honestly sighing in relief that his name hadn’t been called out earlier as the top donor. Mandy, on the other hand, felt that something was off as she watched Gerald and Marven leaving the hall. “Hey, Jasmine? Earlier when Gerald walked past me, I could feel my heart thumping rapidly! Hell, for a second there, I even considered the thought of wanting him to stay by my side! What on earth was that feeling...? While we haven’t really acquainted ourselves with him, why does he already feel so familiar…?” whispered Mandy. “I get what you mean. While he dresses like a regular person, he sure doesn’t feel like one! We don’t know anything about his background yet either…” replied Jasmine with a nod. As both of them continued discussing Gerald, all six of the boys were already carrying the water bottles back to the hall. They were also task
