Irwin Buckham walked into Perfect Glow. The lobby was relatively small but the interior was heavily invested in to communicate the wealth of its affluence. He looked around for a moment, trying to figure out perhaps he would see whom he was looking for. But when it was to no avail, he decided to approach the receptionist. You would think that now that he was the owner of the Oscow Consortium that everyone would recognize his identity. But he had put it upon himself not to go public yet. Also, he had made sure to stress to his workers that whoever dared to release his image, or sell to some top clients for the purpose of favor currying, not only would they be sacked, but they would be heavily disciplined. Having a fore knowledge of his real identity, no one would ever want to dispute with his order let alone have the guts to want to break the order. They knew their places. "Hello, handsome sir. Who are you looking for?" The blonde receptionist asked with a bright smile. "Bethany C
Chapter 162
Irwin turned away from the strange young lady, who was sitting on the chair in front of him, to Bethany, who now has a smile on her face. Just about a moment ago, Bethany's face held an expression that was harder than a nut or a raisin, too hard to be cracked even by the most rugged part of a rock. Seeing her smile when he had asked a question didn't provoke anger or any hostile emotion. Instead, it struck something urgent inside of him. "Did she leave already or go to the restroom?" Irwin asked again. Without waiting to get a reply from Bethany, he turned back to the strange young lady with warm, elegant features. "Are you related to her?" Irwin asked the young lady, his eyes randomly straying to the pair of simple shoes she wore. Seeing the shoes the young lady wore, it struck a sudden memory in his mind, and his eyes widened as he looked back at her. By the time he looked at the young lady again, there were fresh tears rolling down her face. Her eyes were watery, and there w

News soon spread out and everyone was wondering what had just happened. No one could tell what this was about or how it had come to be, yet the strength of the news could be found on the wings of the winds."Did you also hear about it?" One of the many students gathered in the cafeteria on the school campus argued. "I thought it was a joke. Who could have ever imagined any iota of truth in that?" "But it had dawned on us as the truth. How can this be? What in the world?!" A pretty red-haired lady wondered. Dowan was one of the people who had just strolled into the cafeteria and could hear the students clamoring over something. At first, he didn't want to bother about it. He was once a student and he knew that every new week, students had something to gossip about. He thought perhaps this was one of those many areas of gossips. But when he stopped for a moment at the vending machine and looked around seeing all the students in batches, discussing the same thing. He didn't think he
Chapter 164
Dowan has a good memory. This had helped him a lot when he was learning coding and several other tech skills that had brought him this far. Although he could meet a person just now, whenever he sees them in a period of time, he could remember them. But this mostly work for sounds than images, especially when it comes to humans. This voice sounded like someone whom he had met not long ago and he was right as he turned to see the young man who had dissed him just now at the vending machine. "You." Dowan muttered, very certain that this obviously wasn't what he wanted to say, but he needed to clear his head first and get his bearing. He needed to understand why anyone in their right mind would suddenly jump at him and snatch his phone for no reason. He had a cool, but this could never be accepted, not even by the self-accreditted meekest person in the world, Moses. "What do you think you are doing?" Dowan was trying not to explode or flare up. "Have you lost your mind?"Earlier he wa

"Olivia..." Dowan was at loss for words. His cousin whom he had been looking for ever since he walked into the cafeteria finally turned out to be the young lady whom he had originally thought of approaching in the first place. "Dowan. Oh my goodness!" Olivia pulled away for a moment, inspecting his face not as an attempt to be certain that she had the right person. Instead, to take in his facial looks again. It's been a long time since they last met. When he had sent her a message that he would be stopping by anytime this week, she never imagined that it would be this soon. "Come, let's go." Dina quickly led him out of the cafeteria. The male student remained on the floor as though he had lost all the will to get back on his feet. It was hard to tell what was truly going through his mind. But his facial expression made it glaring. He was wondering if what happened had truly happened or perhaps he was making things up in his head. He truly wished it was the latter because he woul

"What is it to you whether she is my girlfriend or not!" Dylan roared.If there was anything that Dylan feared the most in his life. It was the day when Dina would openly reject him and say no to his face. He didn't think he would be able to live with himself. It's been two and a half years since he had been chasing her. He had done a lot of things for her, even though she had refused point blank. He had ran errands for her, protected her, bought all sorts of things for her even though she returned most of the package to his address through a dispatch rider. He loved to hang around her all the time. This was a kind of solace to him. It was better to him than sitting in his gaming space and playing on the gamestation.But what was rather inconvenient for Dylan was that whenever she was going to give him an open and honest answer about how she felt about him, he would instantly change the topic to something else. Or pretend as though he had just recieved an urgent call from a virtual
Chapter 167
It's been almost ten minutes since Dina settled in the hall. Out of those ten minutes, she had spent eight minutes looking from her seat towards the back door. She was waiting for her cousin who had promised her that he would find her. "Excuse me, this seat has been reserved." She snapped at the random lady who had dared to take the seat that she had set aside for Dowan. This would be almost the tenth time she would tell people off. She was getting tired of doing this as she was beginning to attract attention, but she really didn't care about what they would say. The only thing that kept her concerned was if Dowan stood her up. Suddenly a stray figure walked towards her and settled into the seat without asking for permission. Dina, as usual was so pissed off by the daring figure. She has been irritable after what transpired between Dowan and Dylan. "Is there a log of wood in your eyes that you can't see that---" She almost choked on the words when she came to recognize who it was.

Dina Glendale remained standing at the front of the door which led out of the VIP section of the hall through which the guest speakers had entered and would exit the hall. Dowan Arrington had given his speech first because he wanted to leave as soon as possible to handle his business. He had been applauded and cheered on by many people. In fact, so many ladies offered flowers, cards and letters to him while the male wished to get his number since he was their inspiration. Dowan had not taken a moment of his time without talking about how God made it possible for him, attributing all his success to Him. Also, he made sure to reference the great inspiration that he had drawn from none other than his role model, the Supreme Commander. As soon as he had finished the speech, Dina had left the hall to come and wait for him here. Although half of his speech flew over her head, her major concern needed to be addressed as soon as possible. She couldn't let it slide. "We are so grateful to
Chapter 169
The living room of the Rolan Family was quite enveloped by solitude. Although all the family members were gathered staring at one another, yet it felt like there was no one present. It was quite sober like a grave space.Jessica looked to her boss once again. Isabella tried sustaining the gaze for a moment but she couldn't. Both looked away with a growing smile which disappeared altogether as though it was an intended mistake. "Is someone going to talk?" Dorathy finally asked. She was also present. She has been observing the exchange of looks between her daughter and Jessica. At first, she had wanted to direct the confrontation to Jessica, but she didn't think there a reason not to include both ladies. "We can't be sitting here staring at each other like this." A masculine voice said a distance away from Dorathy. There was James. Luckily enough, after visiting the therapist religiously for a while, he was slowly gaining back his confidence. There was nothing more he could do than

"What is that?" Before James could even finish putting the question out, Dorathy raced to the table and picked up the cheque. She had been trying to figure out where all of these was going to lead to. And then when her daughter had reached into her bag and brought out a paper, she couldn't wait to get to the root of it. "A cheque?" Dorathy muttered, staring intently at the cheque in her hand. James had raced to her side to figure out what this was. Like mother like son. His eyes raced through the content of the cheque. "Oscow Consortium?" James added. "This cheque belongs to the ---""What!!!" Dorathy's exclamation didn't give him the chance to complete what he was going to say. Her eyes almost popped out of her face. What she had just seen was something that her tongue could not roll out as words, let alone her mouth gape to produce. "What did you --" James was cut short by his own shock, too. Both mother and son looked towards Isabella and Jessica. It would seem as though the
