Peter arrived at the Graham Company. The place was exactly as pictured. Almost everywhere in the building was made of glass. The tarred roads leading to the company were so neat they lacked an atom of dirt. The company name and logo displayed boldly on the rooftop, on a rectangular waterproof LED screen. He climbed down from the cab he had used to arrive at the company, staring at the place where he’d be serving as the Acting Chief Operating Officer at just twenty-one years old. He couldn’t believe his dreams were slowly coming to pass. Just last year, he had gotten admitted into Primeton University after series of countless rejections to study Business, he had a bold dream of owning a multi-billion-dollar company that would someday dominate most of the countries of the world. And now? He had just discovered that his real family were the founders and major shareholders of Gramont. Gramont was a very popular fashion brand in America. It was among the top five in the world. Founded

Immediately Peter entered the boardroom as Ms. Price trailed behind him. The moment he stepped in, his eyes landed on the company’s shareholders seated proudly on their soft, comfy leather executive chairs. All their eyes landed on the twenty-one-year-old standing right before them. Most of them couldn’t believe their eyes. Was this the new Operating Officer who was supposed to be introduced to them today? The looks on their faces were ones of pure disbelief. Peter, however, walked in, making his way toward an empty seat obviously left for him. He studied all their expressions and body language. Some even began to murmur among themselves. His eyes fell particularly on one elderly man who looked to be in his late fifties. The disgusted frown on his face made it clear he was going to be a pain in the ass. The board members were seven in number. Peter counted them inwardly before settling down. Thirty percent of them looked elderly, some with grey hairs, while the other seventy perc

One Hour Later. Peter stepped out of the factory building with Ms. Price—Valentina. She had just given him a tour around the factory, showing him how most of their expensive collections were made, from the bags, to the designers, to the shoes, boots, leather gears, and many others. After the tour was over, they decided to head back to the HQ, because Peter needed to wrap up for the day and head back to school. When they entered, all eyes suddenly fell on them. Every worker turned their heads, pointing secretly toward Valentina and Peter as they walked side by side toward the elevator. “Who’s that with Ms. Price?” someone asked among the curious eyes. “I saw him earlier at the office entrance. He looks like a beggar. Maybe it’s one of her many charity cases. You know how kind and compassionate Ms. Price is.” “I agree,” another voice chimed in. “Just take a good look at him. Poor thing. He looks like he might break in half anytime soon.” They all laughed, hiding their exp

Later that evening, around 8 p.m. Peter arrived at the Graham estate. He was going to spend the night at the mansion because of the amount of work he had to do, he needed a serene environment for it.The moment he stepped in, the maids welcomed him and took his belongings to the places they were meant to be.Peter ordered them to take the box to the library, as he would be using the place as his work office instead, despite the mansion having at least five empty rooms designed as home offices.When he entered, he saw Oscar already standing in his usual professional position, hands clasped neatly in front.“Welcome home, Young Master,” he greeted with a pleasant smile. “I believe you had a good day at the office. Your dinner will be served shortly. Please freshen up while the maids get everything ready for you.”Peter loved the idea, but not tonight.“Yeah, I did,” he said. “And as for dinner… that would be lovely, but I’d rather eat in the library instead. I have a ton of work to do.”

[BACK IN THE PRESENT] “Meet my new girlfriend, Paige Carter. I know you’ll be delighted to hear this news because it’s something you’ve always wanted, so I give you this one. You won.” Troy mocked, his hand wrapped around Paige's waist. “Your new girlfriend?" Peter asked, not entirely surprised. "I thought you were dating Sophia? What happened, Troy? Don’t tell me you’re down for polygamy.” Troy scoffed, taking a quick glance at the woman beside him as he said, “Funny, but no. My woman doesn’t like to share her meal.” “Which of them? Sophia or her?” Peter asked, triggering yet another round of murmurs from the gathered crowd. The students loved drama. I mean, who needed a N*****x subscription when you could always watch one every day in school? “Exactly, which one of them is actually his woman?” a voice said. “Is he a two-faced boyfriend? Does he now service two women at the same time?” “Wait until Sophia finds out. I can’t wait to see the look of humiliation on her face.” anoth
