It was another school day and when Nolan walked into the class, he realised that everyone was on their phones, watching something, including Cole. The whole class felt unusually quiet, not the normal noisy chatter and laughter. Almost everyone had their heads bent down, with their eyes glued to their screens, focused.Nolan frowned slightly. This was strange.On a normal day, Cole would have rushed to him immediately, eager to tell him the latest gist, all the things that happened while he was away, especially over the weekend. Cole was always the first to talk, the first to gossip, the first to complain. But today, Cole didn’t even lift his head. More like, he didn’t even know that Nolan had walked into the class at all and that alone made Nolan curious.He dropped his bag on his chair and walked closer to Cole. “What are you watching?” He asked but Cole didn’t even respond. His eyes were still fixed on his phone, his mouth slightly open, completely lost in whatever he was watching.

The first woman sighed. “I heard that the last set of investors also pulled out. Like, all of them. Not one stayed. They said the company is too unstable and risky to put their money in.”The second woman laughed bitterly. “Investors pulling out again? Then what exactly are we still doing here?”“That’s not even the worst part. I heard the bank has started pressing them again. Loans, debts, unpaid interests. Everything. Someone said the bank might seize some of the company’s assets if things don’t change very soon. But the company doesn’t even have any assets again.”Cherry felt dizzy. She held the sink tightly to steady herself.The second woman clicked her tongue. “I also heard that salaries might not be paid this month. Or even next month. Some departments are already preparing for mass layoffs.”“Layoffs?” the first woman gasped.“Yes. Big ones. They said the company can’t afford to keep everyone anymore. And honestly, I won’t be surprised if the company shuts down completely.”Ch

Mira and Rosy were dragged a few steps back by the staff, but they didn’t look scared at all. Instead, they were smiling, the kind of smile that made Cherry’s stomach twist.Mira scoffed and pointed at Cherry, who was still on the floor. “You’re lucky people came to save you. If not, you wouldn’t be sitting here crying right now. You would have been in serious trouble.”Rosy laughed harshly. “Serious trouble is even an understatement. You wouldn’t even be able to use your two legs to walk again.”Cherry’s heart skipped a beat as she looked up at them, her lips trembling.Mira bent slightly and looked straight at her. “And don’t think this ends here. You better watch your back when you’re walking at night. You don’t know what’s lurking in the shadows. Anything can happen to anyone.”Rosy hissed loudly, leaning closer. “Anything.”The two girls exchanged looks, smirked, then hissed again before turning around and walking away like nothing had happened.Cherry stayed where she was, sitti

“Your dad had the audacity to lie to us. He gave us false hope, telling us that a lot of investors were coming to help the company. Of course, we, the loyal and stupid workers that he had, showed up. Because why? Because this was our only hope, and because we still had a little belief in your dad.”“But we got to the company, and we were hearing another thing entirely. How can your family be so miserable? You need to let your dad know that he doesn’t have to keep forcing himself to run this company. The best thing he can do for himself right now is to shut it down so he can stop giving his workers false hope.“I even hope this company gets burnt down for wasting my time. I worked hard for your dad, and I can’t believe this is how I’ll get paid. This is going to be the beginning of your misfortune, just so you know. And there’s a lot more that’s going to happen.”Rosy said those last words coldly before barging away. As she walked past Cherry, she shoved her roughly out of the way with

“I have to go…” Cherry said, sniffing as she turned around to leave.Debby quickly ran to her front and stopped her. “Where are you going looking like this? If you’re going to leave, how about you clean yourself up first?”Cherry shook her head slowly. “I don’t think I want to. I don’t even deserve to,” Cherry said as fresh tears formed in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. “I have to go and see my dad. I need to know what’s going on and at least explain what has happened to him, if there is going to be a fix or not. At least, if what you said is true, then Nolan should be able to help my dad and not me, right? Since it would be my dad asking for help.”Debby sighed. “Okay… that’s not a bad idea, but do you think it’s a good time to meet with your dad? You just said things aren’t looking that great,” Debby said carefully.“If I don’t go now, things will just keep getting worse. It’s better I inform my dad about it myself,” Cherry replied firmly as she flagged down a taxi.“I’m comin

Debby’s voice softened slightly, but she was still angry. “Now look at where that has brought you. Nolan wants nothing to do with you. Gabriel is disappointed. And your dad’s company is back in trouble.”Cherry sobbed harder. “What if… what if it really was him? What if he really helped and I ruined everything?”Debby looked away for a moment before speaking again. “Then that would mean you pushed away the one person who helped you without asking for anything in return.”Cherry covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking. “I messed up… I really messed up.”Debby nodded slowly. “Yes, you did. And the worst part is, you may never get the chance to fix it.”“You treated Nolan well at first, apologized for your wrong, and told him about your father’s company and it got sorted out. Then you treated Nolan very badly, and after that, your father’s company went back to ground zero. What do you think about this? It can’t be a coincidence, right? I mean, it is very explainable, isn’t it?”“That ca
