Leave here? Leave where? Shocked, I asked in surprise, “Ms. Summers, what are you saying? Where are you going?”“I haven’t made up my mind yet.” Fae continued to avoid eye contact. “I might leave for another state or another country. I just know I won’t be staying in Razor City.”“Why?” I continued to press, unable to understand where she was going with this. “What about your job? After going through all that work to graduate, you finally got a teaching job at Razer University. Are you really just going to give it all up?”Fae paused and squeezed out a smile, her eyes were solemn. “Well, people’s ideas can change. I suddenly felt my life was too dull, too ordinary, and that I wanted to add some spark to it and change my environment. You know, I just want to experience new things. I don’t have any friends here. When I thought carefully about it, among all the people I know, it tur

I did not expect Fae to take such an audacious action. It left me completely stunned. Fae, who was regarded as the prettiest woman of my university, actually took the initiative to kiss me! Although it was just a peck, that wonderful session sent a shock of ecstasy through my body.I slowly turned my head to look at her. Fae had sat up straight, her eyes were lowered, as if nothing had happened. However, her flushed face and heavy breathing showed her nervous state. Seeing her fidgeting, I let out a dry chuckle.I could understand why she was like this. Although Fae was imbued with natural beauty, her every move painted with seductive charm, no matter how unintended, her personality was actually a little cold, and her thinking was traditional.Our identities as teacher and student, the age gap between us, and her own burdens made her think that it was impossible for us to be together. Even the mere idea of “falling in love with your own student” made her u

Jeff bowed his head with a smile pasted on his face, the flare and arrogance from when he made his entrance was gone. He sounded a little aggrieved as he said, “I wanted to tell you this couple days ago, but you never answered my calls, leaving me with no choice but to come and find you personally. I went to your house first and then to Razor University, but I still couldn’t find you. Luckily, one of my friends saw you at the entrance of Razor University, and we followed you all the way here.”Jeff, seeming to suddenly have realized something, scratched his head, embarrassed. “Please, don’t get the wrong idea, Ms. Summers. I really didn’t want to follow you, but things were getting urgent. Since you never answered my calls, I had to resort to such measures. Don’t worry, from now on, my people will never appear in front of you again.”The stunned Fae stood there befuddled. “Don’t... don’t need to pay back the

After this incident, the feelings that we had for each other were exposed. Although we did not directly state our true feelings, it was implied. I did not say out loud that I wanted her to be my woman, and she never explicitly said that she liked me, but we were both keenly aware of the shift between us. We had a good understanding of each other's emotions.By the time we finished eating, it was already past nine. Having the burden that had been plaguing her life finally being relieved left Fae in a good mood. She drank a lot of wine, but she did not drink to the point of being wasted. She was just a little tipsy.Fae, who normally wore a cold mask, was smiling the whole night. Her natural charm radiated from her every movement, her smile lighting up the room. Her tipsy state only accentuated her allure, her pretty face was flushed, and her enchanting eyes blurry. It made me hungry; hungry for her.I drove her home. I had plans to approach her brazenly. Maybe I could

"I should first check out the largest store here." I stood at the entrance of the giant Golden Plaza, observing the bustling streets. I had come here once when I was a sophomore in college.Back then, I came here to work for a part time job, and stood under the scorching sun, handing out flyers for six hours straight, only making a grand total of twenty dollars by the end of it all.Moon was with me at the time. He said when poor students like us come to Golden Plaza, we needed to act with caution. It was best not to poke the bears that lay here. All the people that came to shop here were rich and extravagant. In their eyes, we were nothing. To think that a year later I would be a landlord in the Golden Plaza, collecting rent. Heh, how times have changed.I strolled through the streets. Not far ahead of me were two girls, looking at some jewelry in the shop window. One of them was dressed lavishly, wearing several luxury brands of clothing with a shining Hermes handba

The Pagani dealership had secretly reported the delivery time and location of my car to another person?The young man's call caused my expression to turn bizarre. However, I was not angry. First, it was just the time and place of the delivery. It would not cause any real damage to me. Second, it seemed this Tim fellow was an avid supercar fan. He just wanted to see the Pagani Huayra Dinastia in action personally.Anyway, the delivery of the car would definitely attract the gazes of the surrounding people. It would not matter if there was one more person. I was just a little surprised that I, the rightful owner of the car, managed to overhear their conversation.I looked away and walked inside the beauty store. The moment I entered, a pretty store clerk greeted me with a warm smile. "Hello, Sir. Is there anything I can help you with? If you're planning to buy beauty products for your girlfriend, I can give you some recommendations. We also have some demos to show you."

"Fair enough." I cracked a smile and got up, intending to leave. Amy and her brother followed quickly and led me downstairs. Just when I arrived at the first floor, a familiar shadow entered my vision. Naomi?She wore a short white chiffon top, showing off her slender waist and cute belly button. Her blue skinny jeans hugged her butt and legs, accentuating her curves. Her presence drew a lot of attention.She was standing next to a shelf, looking at some lipstick. Next to her was a girl I did not recognize. She appeared to be her best friend, but her looks paled in comparison to Naomi's.What an eventful day. I first ran into Pam and Abigail, and now I see Naomi. Is going to the Golden Plaza like stirring up a hornet's nest full of my high school classmates?I let out a sigh, a little surprised and tired. Naomi took notice of me. After a brief pause, probably in shock, she smiled at me gleefully."Gael, what are you doing here?" Naomi hummed cheerfully.

Just as the Pagani carrier came to a halt, my ears picked up on an exuberant squeal. This was understandable. Even many rich kids, who had been accustomed to a life of money, still yearned for a world-class Pagani supercar. Such a hot commodity was regarded as a true luxury.Despite my curiosity, I was not very enthusiastic about the car; in fact, I was quite calm. Perhaps it was because I was not particularly fond of supercars.A supercar's ground clearance was low, allowing it to accelerate quickly. However, they were picky when it came to road conditions. I still preferred my G63 over a supercar. Huge and practical, it had a powerful presence and was perfect for rough road conditions. I could drive it anywhere.With these thoughts in mind, I watched on as the truck came to a stop. I did not approach right away. I needed to finish this cigarette first. At this moment, I saw Amy and Tim sprint over."Come on, hurry up, Sis. We need to run faster. We can't miss t

I jammed my foot on the pedal and accelerated the car to 120 mph once I was on the highway. Indeed, the sensation of driving an exotic car made one's blood boil. The engine roared, and the car roared forward in an instant, leaving all the other cars in the dust.To be honest, I was not particularly keen on getting a supercar in the beginning, but the rush and adrenaline provided by accelerating at high speeds was irresistible. It left me craving more."Woah, this is incredible, Gael! So amazing! I've driven a number of supercars, but I've never experienced something like this before. It's such a novel feeling! Haha, It definitely lives up to its name!" shouted Tim excitedly in the shotgun seat.I grinned and gave him a side eye. "Sir Tim, if I hadn't known you were the younger brother of a billionaire, I would've thought you were some ignorant loser. This is my first Pagani, so it makes sense I'm a little excited, but you're a long-time Pagani car owner. What are you

I drove my car to the address Tim had sent me. A huge flashing neon sign entered my sight. "Cloudy Paradise?" The sign was lit with fuzzy purple lights, giving people a mysterious, romantic, and murky feeling.This place... did not look very professional. Seeing the ambiance, I had a good idea what this business was. It was not a massage clinic by any means. However, since I already went through the trouble of coming here, I might as well check it out. I had never been to such a place before, nor was I planning to do anything naughty. I just wanted to expand my horizons. I unlocked the door and got out of the car."Sir Gael, you're here!" Tim leaped over from the side and handed me a cigarette, grinning.I smiled as I accepted it. "Did I make you wait long?""No, no, I also just got here." Tim lit the cigarette for me and whispered, "I asked around. Some newcomers have arrived. They recently finished their training and began working today. They're all top-tier. I
