She was well aware that Marven had a crush on her. However, even though she had made it extremely clear that she wasn’t into him, why on earth was he still pestering her? Every girl had an ego to maintain when it came to relationships. If Raquel had received the same treatment from a better-looking guy, she wouldn’t have minded. However, Marven was a completely different story. After all, to most people, he generally had a bad image if she was going to be completely honest about it. After being humiliated in front of so many people, she would’ve kicked him out the door if she was any less morally aware! “B-Brother Gerald!” shouted Marven as he rushed over to Gerald to help him up. While Gerald clearly looked like he wanted to continue arguing with Raquel, Marven noticed that a few of the Taekwondo society’s members were already circling them. Fearing that Gerald would get hurt because of him again, Marven immediately dragged him out of there. The two continued walking on un

“Alright, how about this? I’ll stay here for three more days and though you probably won’t be able to learn any difficult moves within that short amount of time, under my guidance, you can surely learn at least a few for self-defense. That way, your enemies won’t be able to come too close to you that easily! While the moves themselves are practical and generally easier to learn, keep in mind that the moves aren’t designed to hurt people! They’re primarily for self-defense, after all!” said Finnley. “…Wait, you aren’t kidding, right? I’ll be able to learn basic self-defense in just three days?” replied Gerald with a smile. “Listen, if I say you can master it by then, you definitely can! Consider yourself lucky that I’m even staying back to teach you, you brat of a grandson! And don’t look at me with those doubtful eyes! If you don’t believe me, try hitting me with all you’ve got!” said Finnley as he waved at Gerald to come at him. “I’d rather not! Again, Mr. Quick, I was only hurt

Both of them had decided to start their company in a building quite near to the university. The building itself was grand and looked like the perfect place to start a firm. What more, it was also surrounded by lush greenery, almost as though Mother Nature had personally blessed the location. Many other companies were already using the building as well. The popularity of the place really exceeded their expectations. By starting their travel agency there, the other companies would definitely begin organizing their annual trips with their agency! They had avoided locations that were in the middle of nowhere for a reason. The revenue difference said it all. It didn’t take long for the two to arrive at the investment center within the building. “Didn’t we settle this over the phone? Where’s the guy we’re supposed to meet up with?” asked Gerald as both of them walked through the main entrance. “I’m not sure either, brother. I called him earlier but the line was busy!” “I see. Wel

“I know… Still, I’d like to look around the area first!” replied Raquel. While she couldn’t afford to pay the rent for a unit in this place, she still wanted to have a look around the building. After all, a girl could dream. As the group continued hanging out around the area, a loud commotion could suddenly be heard coming from the end of the hallway. A suited middle-aged man could be seen walking into the building, and many of the customers present greeted him respectfully when he passed by them. This wasn’t just any regular person. He was the manager of Edificio! “That’s Edificio’s famous manager, Alexander Brookes!” explained Jefferson to the three girls. ‘So what if you know about him? He doesn’t even know that you exist!’ Raquel thought to herself, clearly still upset. While a lot of people seemed to want to talk to Mr. Brooks, all he did was wave them off. He seemed to be in quite a hurry. The fact that he was also looking around hinted that he was trying to find someth

The moment both of them opened the class door, they were immediately greeted by simultaneous screams and exclamations! “Gerald! Marven! Where did both of you go?” asked a few pretty girls as they surrounded the duo while trying their hardest to spark a conversation. All of them had their eyes on Gerald as though they were trying to seduce him. After all, everyone figured that it was Gerald who had given Marven a hand in this. While it was true that Marven was the director of the company, his main funds could only have come from Gerald. It was the reason why the girls were all trying to get into Gerald’s good books. Marven’s status had heightened greatly as well, and quite a few of his classmates had already approached him to try their luck at striking a conversation with him. While everyone was excitedly surrounding the two, Isabelle and Stella had completely opposite reactions. Both of them had darkened expressions on their faces. After all, they had bullied Gerald back when t
