Kevin stood before the mirror, dressed in a simple yet impeccably fitted shirt and pants, giving a vision of understated elegance. The shirt, a crisp white, clung to his body like a second skin, accentuating his athletic build and hinting at the strength beneath.

The fabrics showcased his broad shoulders and chest, revealing confidence in every stitch. His was equally captivating, his deep eyes held a magnetic allure and his chiseled jawline exuded determination.

Kevin, feeling content with his appearance, whistled cheerfully as he descended towards the garage.

He hopped on his motorbike and drove to one of the fanciest hotel in Veridonia, the Kings hotel.

After parking his motorbike outside the lobby, he quickly fixed his wind-swept hair and stepped down on the pavement.

“Kevin! Is that you?”

A handsome man stucked his head out from an Audi A8 window and waved excitedly to Kevin.

The moment Kevin saw him, his eyes was filled with surprise

“Tyler! Look at you… you haven’t aged a day. Something tells me you’re still just as popular as you’ve always were.”

Tyler grinned back,

“Well, let’s just say… I’m a lucky guy”

Kevin smiled, “Love it for you,   Tyler.”

Tyler got out of his car and saw Kevin’s motorbike,

“Kevin, did you ride this motorbike that exudes a timeless allure and a testament to its enduring character here?”

They both laughed,

“Yes Tyler… it’s one of the first things I bought with my own money”

Tyler paused and shrugged his shoulders,

“Beautiful… what do you say? Should we head in and see who else has aged beautifully or maybe poorly?”

They both grinned.

As soon as Tyler and Kevin entered the room, everyone turned to greet them.

“Tyler! It’s so good to see you

A familiar man yelled

Tyler waved back

“Look who I brought with me, Kevin’s all grown up”

The familiar man waved at Kevin and whispered to one of his former classmate’s ears

“Kevin’s changed a lot! He used to be an outcast but look at him now, it seems like he is on the same level as Tyler. Maybe there’s more to Kevin that meets the eye.”

“I think you’re right…”

The former classmate replied.

Walking around the room, Kevin thought to himself

“Wow! I’m the most under dressed person here and I love it! I like being underestimated.”

With a big smile, Kevin turned to his right

“Hey Tyler, I’m going to grab a sit. Let’s catch up more later.”

“Sure thing, dude.”

Tyler replied

Sitting in an empty table, Kevin was happy to have a little space. It has been a while since he had seen everyone and it was nice to sit back and take everything in.

Kevin gasped when he saw his former classmate, Kate enter the room.

“Wow! She looks stunning. I’m not surprised tho… Kate was the most popular girl in high school. I thought she would have left Veridonia by now.”

Just as Kevin lifted his hand to wave at Kate, Tyler quickly jumped in front of him and yelled,

“Hey Kate… Did you forget about me?”

Kate walked over with an annoying smile on her face,

“Tyler! You haven’t changed one bit.”

Tyler laughed,

“You say that like it’s a bad thing”

Kate tilted her head to the side and laughed

“It’s not that bad.”

Tyler smiled, “Look at you now, Kate… You look amazing. What are you up to?”

Kate bit her bottom lip,

“Well, I know it’s a bit cliché but, I’m about to sign with an agency.”

“Oh shit! You are really doing it.”

Kate’s cheeks turned red, “Well, I’m trying to… I haven’t signed anything yet but it’s looking good.”

“You’re always meant for bigger things Kate. To think that, I’d be able to say, ‘I knew her when’.”

Tyler grinned.

Suddenly, a group of girls sat down at the table with Kevin.

One of the girls turned to the other and whispered,

“I heard that Kate is about to become a superstar! She’s too sweet to ever brag about it but, Kate is going to sign with William’s Media next week.”

Another girl replied,

“No way… William’s Media is the biggest entertainment company in Veridonia! If Kate signs with them, then she’ll be famous before we know it.”

A small lousy girl popped out from her seat,

“I’m going to ask Kate for an autograph…”

The two other girls noded,

“Good idea! It might be worth something one day.”

They all went over to Kate,

“Hey Kate, can we have your autograph?”

The three girls harmonized and stayed in the space between Kate and Tyler

Seeing Kate handle them with grace and humility, Kevin smiled to himself

“Good for Kate… I’m so glad that she’s still pursuing her dreams and if she is really signing with William’s Media, I should get to know her better. After all as of tomorrow, I will be the official owner of William’s Media. This will be a good chance for me to familiarize myself wsith my clients.”

Just then, Kate and Tyler came and sat down at the table with Kevin.

Turning to his right, Kevin gasped to himself

“Just my luck! Kate sat down next to me. Something tells me I’m going to love running William’s Media… I’ll finally have a chance to create my own empire”

Looking into Kate’s beautiful almond-shaped eyes, Kevin smiled to himself

“But first things first, I need to go to talk to my soon-to-be client”

Kevin felt a little bit excited as the idea of running William’s Media and talking to Kate goes through his mind.

This was a stepping stone to his long-awaited success.

    After about five days, she would be like any other normal person, and she wouldn't be able to use medicinal herbs to regain what she had lost. I can't believe that this pill can do all that, Kevin marveled. His thoughts were interrupted by an unfamiliar ringtone. For a second, he wondered if there was a burglar in the house, but then he realized that the sound was coming from his pocket.Who would be making a video call to Penny in the middle of the night? Could it be her boyfriend? Kevin wondered. By reflex, he answered the call. A moment later, he saw a beautiful woman standing in front of her closet picking out clothes. Oops, didn't mean to see that, Kevin thought to himself.She looked very familiar to him, but he just couldn't place her. While he was looking at her, trying to figure out who she was, the woman turned around to see why nobody was talking yet. When she saw Kevin, she screamed and disconnected the call.That's when Kevin realized that she was the young woman whose gr

    "How much do you want?" His father asked him, as expected, Wyatt started to freak out. Mike said, "You think money grows on trees? Didn't I just give you that much a few days ago?" How could Wyatt Tripp not go ballistic? He'd worked his entire life to build up his business and now his son was just giving his money away. Mike was frustrated by his father's response. He'd only gotten in this situation because he was trying to get elected student leader.If his father wasn't willing to help, he might have to tell his classmates the truth. "What are you talking about, Dad? School’s going great. And my teachers are fantastic." Mike told his father, laying it on thick. "It's definitely a serious program."“What the hell are you talking about? When did I ask you about school?" Wyatt shouted into his phone. I don't give a crap if you like the place or not. "Don't worry, Dad, I'm doing great." He continued. "But it would really help if you could transfer some money into my account.""I'll tra

    "It wouldn't be a great idea to trick her like that." He really didn't want to make a bad impression on Penny. "No problem, Mike." Luther continued. "If Penny helps you pay the bill, you can use it as an excuse to get closer to her. You could even connect with her online to arrange to repay her and to get to know her better." Mike got really excited by this idea.He slapped Luther on the back and said, "I like the way you think. It's a good thing I brought you two guys along." When Kevin heard this, he quickly headed back to the VIP room. As he got to the door, Penny was walking out. Kevin came up with a plan of his own. As Penny brushed against him, he used the light touch that he'd learned about in the secret guide and took her phone and wallet.Let's see what Mike does now. Kevin smirked as he slipped the items into his jacket. With all his posturing, he isn't really that strong. Let's see him show his true colors. When Kevin returned to his seat and sat down, Mike and his two budd

    "That has to be disappointing. You think you're more handsome than me? Everyone knows that just isn't true." Kevin teased him. "What do you mean by that?" Mike retorted as he slammed his fist on the table. "Don't be angry, Mike. This whole thing really isn't worth it." Lionel tried to persuade his friend. Then Luther tried to calm him down. "Relax, Mike. You're absolutely right. Kevin must be jealous of you. That's why I said there's something wrong with this pill.""You still don't understand, do you? Both you and your father were cheated by someone. This isn't an augmentation pill at all. Kevin told them bluntly. An augmentation pill is more of a light blue color. Plus it contains some floral ingredients which gives it a beautiful fragrance. Take another look at the medicinal pill you just gave our professor." Kevin continued."It's obviously the wrong color and has no fragrance at all." They were all stunned to hear him say this. Even Penny reacted and stared keenly at Kevin. Mike

    "Don't be so modest, Mike. Who is better qualified to be our class leader?" Luther chimed in. The rest of the students just sat there quietly and watched the show that the three of them were putting on. But they didn't want to seem ungrateful. So they were willing to go along with the idea of electing Mike to the position."Since no one has any objections, then how could I decline? But let's just call it a temporary position. If anyone feels that I'm not carrying my weight, just say so." Mike declared as he raised his glass to toast his classmates.Professor Murdock stayed out of the discussion. And quietly observed her students as they drank their wine and socialized with each other. Meanwhile, Penny just sat quietly by the window nursing her glass to mute. Her classmates were too intimidated by her to go up and talk to her.While this was going on, Mike took Lionel aside and asked him to go down to his car and bring back a red gift box that he'd left in the trunk. Lionel came back a

    "Since you think this is just a bus pass, I guess I'll just put it back in my wallet." Kevin said as he started to take it back from the concierge. “Well, since you've already taken it out, why don't we give it a try?" Mike replied. He obviously didn't want to pass up this opportunity to make Kevin look like a fool. So he ran things up and added."Let's see what the hotel staff can do with it." While the crowd was laughing at Kevin, the hotel employees were staring in disbelief. They weren't sure how to defuse the situation. The employee who was holding Kevin's card started to get very nervous when she took a good look at it. During their training, all of the employees of the Whistler Hotel had been required to memorize the appearance of the Supreme VIP card. And that's exactly what Kevin had handed her. Cook had explained to them that there were only five cards like this in all of Veridonia. And they were only given to the hotel's most prestigious clients.The group of students saw t
