Kael chuckled lightly at her question.“You really want to know?”Celeste nodded immediately.“Yes.”She took a step closer and leaned slightly against the side of the car, standing just beside him.“Because that’s actually impossible,” she continued. “You can’t just make a call like that and suddenly the person has people at the head office ready to process things. It's not easy to even reach those levels, let alone get things done instantly.”She looked at him directly. “So yes… I’m curious.”Kael smirked faintly and turned fully toward her. Then slowly, he raised his hand and gently held her chin, tilting her face up so she was looking directly at him.Their eyes locked at that moment and for a moment, Celeste froze.Gasp!”Her heartbeat quickened instantly, she could feel it. The closeness and the intensity. Kael’s face moved slightly closer and her breathing slowed, then almost stopped.Her fingers curled lightly at her side, but he didn’t say anything and didn’t move. As his fac

The moment the security guards heard the order, they froze briefly, they exchanged quick glances with each other.Celeste… was their boss, or at least, she had always been, but the man standing behind that desk was someone they couldn’t question. They understood the hierarchy and what that order meant.Slowly, they turned toward Celeste.“Ma’am…” One of them spoke gently, then gestured toward the door.Celeste didn’t resist, she adjusted the box in her hands and began to walk, behind her, the man’s voice came again.“Make sure she doesn’t return to this place.”The guards nodded immediately. “Yes, sir.”They followed behind her as she stepped out of the office. When they reached the lobby, the workers who were present all turned to look.Some froze mid-step, some stared quietly. Everyone understood something had happened but no one spoke or dared to ask.Celeste kept walking, her face remained calm, composed, as if nothing was wrong. She was escorted all the way outside, the evening a

For a second, there was silence, then a few heads turned, some students frowned slightly, others looked confused. It was actually Kael who spoke.“Darius Valecrest?”“Wait… the Valecrest Biotech owner?” Someone askedKael leaned back calmly. “Or his daughter, either of them would make the event much better.”Wow!”For a moment, no one even spoke, they just stared at his face as if trying to confirm what they had just heard.“Darius Valecrest?” someone muttered. “The owner of Valecrest Biotech? And you’re saying you can call him?”Shock spread across the room like wildfire, even those who barely followed business news knew that name. A billionaire, a man whose influence stretched across cities, and yet, this guy was mentioning his name so casually, as if he was talking about a neighbor, as if he could just pick up his phone and invite him.What level of audacity was this?Even Elara’s composure slipped for a second, her body reacting slightly before she could control it, she was clearl

A few seconds of silence passed, then slowly, one student nodded.“Yeah… that actually makes sense.”Another followed.“Of course, there’s no way he has Mr. Valecrest’s number.”“That explanation fits.”Very soon, more voices joined in, the class gradually shifting back to Victor’s side as murmurs of agreement spread across the room, the earlier shock dissolving into renewed mockery as they began to look at Kael differently again.“I knew something was off.”“You really tried this time.”“Using a fake call to impress us?”“Seriously?”Some students even laughed now, shaking their heads as if disappointed.Victor smirked, clearly pleased as he saw the class aligning with him again, his confidence returning fully as he looked straight at Kael.“You really thought you could pull this off?” he said, his tone mocking but steady, “mentioning a billionaire’s name like that, calling him like you’re on the same level, do you even hear yourself sometimes?”He tilted his head slightly.“That kin

Just then, Kael’s eyes shifted slightly as he noticed movement from inside the room, and the next moment, a tall guy stepped down from one of the beds, his presence immediately noticeable as he straightened up and began walking forward toward where Kael and Brian were standing, the faint noise in the room gradually dying down as a few people turned their attention toward him.He stopped right in front of them, his gaze first landing on Kael, then it moved to Brian before his expression hardened.“How dare you bring someone into our dorm without permission?”His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried authority. Brian glanced at Kael briefly, then looked back at the guy, trying to keep things calm.“This isn’t just someone,” he said, “this is my friend from class, his name is Kael, he just wanted to see the place, so I brought him here.”The guy frowned deeper.“Wanted to see the place?” he repeated, his tone turning mocking, “as who exactly?”He stepped a little closer. “Is he a constructor
