Chapter Forty-Eight
Nelson sat with the sound of the chime still ringing faintly in his ears, and somewhere beneath the noise of the dining room he recognized the shape of the moment for what it was.'Another one,' he thought. 'This looks like another make-or-break point.'The golden interface spread out quietly in front of him, showing him the available Choices from which he would pick from.[Choice A: Refuse the offer and say you only came to meet Cynthia's parents and have dinner| No business IQ and it's evident.

Chapter Forty-Seven
Twenty minutes passed before Nelson heard footsteps returning down the grand staircase. The sound was unhurried, measured and calculated the kind of footsteps that never needed to rush because the world simply waited for them.For some reason, Nelson rose from the sofa on instinct before his mind had even fully registered why.Cynthia came down first, and behind her, a man followed closely. He was tall, had silver threading through dark hair combed back without a single strand out of place, dressed in a charcoal suit that fit him the way custom tailoring fits, just like the one he got at the boutique when he went clothes shopping with Hibino. It was as if it had been born on his body rather than sewn onto it. He wasn't exactly smiling, but there was an ease to the way he carried himself, the ease of a man who had never once in his life had to wonder whether a room would make space for him.Nelson's eyes noticed almost involuntarily toward the hallway behind the man. Two more of the a
Chapter Forty-Six
The journey to Cynthia’s home wasn’t hurried, nor was it slow—it was just right. The steady hum of the limo’s engine was the only sound between Nelson and Cynthia for a while, both lost in their own thoughts.Nelson glanced out of the window, the buildings of the city slowly giving way to more open spaces as they drove further out. He had never been in nice neighbourhoods before, so it was kind of a different perspective.“Huh, ignorance sometimes, is truly a bliss…” Thought Nelson, as he stared at the beautiful scenery and houses. The more he looked at it, the more he wanted to buy a house in the area.Soon, the limo turned onto a long, private road leading to a gated community. But this wasn’t just any gated neighbourhood.It was a villa complex, a secluded haven reserved for the ultra-wealthy and people of status, where entire neighbourhoods consisted solely of large, sprawling villas. The security was tight—no one could enter without being a resident or a direct guest of one. It w

Nelson leaned back in his seat, taking in the unexpected turn of events. He had no idea Cynthia Dessie would be the person waiting for him in the sleek limo. One minute he was in the lecture hall defending her, the next minute he was sitting at the back of her limo. After the class, he simply disappeared into the crowd of students leaving the lecture hall, thinking it was just another day where his intolerance to Derek Thompson had led him to intervene. He never thought she would find him, much less track him down with her limo and a personal bodyguard.But here she was.Now up close, Cynthia’s elegance was hard to miss. She sat across from him, her posture poised and graceful, her long pony tailed blonde hair laid loosely on her shoulders, and her soft expression gave her a glow he couldn’t describe. The way she crossed her legs with such ease and confidence only added to the aura of wealth and privilege that surrounded her.“I wanted to meet you personally, away from the noise and c
Chapter Forty-Four
Derek, still eager to curry favour, quickly rushed forward. “Good afternoon, sir. Is there anything I can help you with? Who might you be looking for?” His tone was full of forced politeness, the confidence he had shown just moments ago now completely gone.The suited man gave Derek a quick, dismissive glance, clearly not interested in idle conversation. His gaze swept over the gathered students before settling on Nelson, who had been standing there with a calm expression. The man raised an eyebrow slightly and looked back at Derek. “I’m looking for a student named Nelson,” he said, his voice deep and commanding, cutting through the murmurs of the crowd like a knife.Derek’s face twisted in confusion and disbelief. “Nelson?” he repeated as if the name didn’t quite register with him. It was as if Derek couldn’t reconcile the idea that someone important enough to warrant a V8 limousine would be looking for the same Nelson he had been taunting minutes ago.Nelson stepped forward casually
Chapter Forty-Three
Nelson took his time walking to the Dean’s office, his steps slow and unhurried. He wasn’t the least bit anxious, knowing that the truth was on his side. As he approached the office door, he knocked lightly and heard a firm voice from within: “Come in.”Entering, Nelson greeted her, “Good afternoon, Dean Rasheem Casey. I’m here because you called for me earlier today. I’m assuming it’s about the test results.”The Dean, a tall man with a stern but wise face, had her glasses resting on the edge of her nose. She was reviewing some papers as Nelson spoke. When he finished, the Dean lowered the papers slightly and gazed at him over her glasses, her eyes piercing as if trying to read through the young man standing before her. It wasn’t an accusatory stare but one of deep consideration. The glasses, perched at just the right angle, made her stare feel more intense, as though she were weighing Nelson’s words and actions with decades of experience behind her.“Take a seat,” the Dean said wit
