Gerald was a bit taken aback by this man's aura, refined yet a bit oppressive due to somewhat overbearing confidence that is backed up by his position and the power it gives to his status.

As he shook the man's hand firmly, he could have sworn that he felt a jolt of warmth flow into his arm, causing him to almost break a sweat. Gerald realized that this is what having money, power, and status does to someone. It elevates them to a higher level of consciousness, making them radiate a special kind of aura.

As fictional as it sounded, Gerald began to grow a hunger for this kind of aura. He now understood how these three things affect someone energetically, and he found himself desiring to shine just like President Delorean.

Luckily for him, this was well within reach; he is a member of Arnold's family after all.

President Delorean gestured for Gerald to sit first before he settled into his own seat as well.

“Mr. Arnold, you have no idea how great it is to finally meet you. Ever since I b

    Gerald stood before Amara with very little expression on his face, his demeanor very calm despite the way Amara was twisting things to make him out to be the villain publicly.“Amara, you need to calm down. Your current reaction is only proving my point.”Amara froze as she wondered what kind of trap she had been led into.“What point? What are you trying to get at here?”Gerald nudged his chin at Diana.“Look at how angry you got just from scaring your best friend. Yet, you call me a tyrant for actually surviving an attempt to gouge out one of my eyes.”He pointed in the direction that everyone had witnessed two nerdy students running off in.“All my men and I were searching for answers, and yet, you ruined everything.”He made a slight look of suspicion at Amara as he dropped his hand back in the pocket of his jeans.“Or is it that you had something to do with this incident? And that's why you came to interrupt it, allowing those students to run away.”Amara's face turned pale as s

    “Amara, what the hell do you want?”Gerald was just about to interrogate those two nerdy students when Amara showed up, ruining everything.He was convinced that there was someone else behind that attempt to take out his eyes with that attempt. Ever since he stepped out of his car, he had already felt a set of eyes on him, but couldn't tell where they were coming from.This was his chance to get some clues. In fact, the tiniest clue would have been okay. But, of course, what's a little progress where there are enemies to fuck it up for you.Amara could tell that Gerald was not in a good mood, which was quite rare to see ever since they met each other as adults at Juliet's father's birthday party.“Gerald, I'm here to remind you that you can't just go around doing whatever you want to your peers just because you have a bunch of bodyguards to count on. Have you forgotten that bodyguards shouldn't even be allowed inside the faculty building, not unless you have an extraordinary reason?”

    Kevin got close to the two young men sneaking away and he jumped over them with a front flip, landing right in front of them.The two male students were in shock at Kevin's display of martial arts, but as he looked up at them, intense fear struck their hearts as a wave of murderous intent struck them.“Goodness, you're scary.”Kevin ignored the meek voice of one of the young men as he stood up, his cold glare shifting from one scared face to the other as he took one step closer. Immediately, these two young men began shaking.“Please, don't hurt us!” Kevin ignored the stares he was getting from the other students as he raised the knife in between his fingers at the two young men. He spoke with a dark tone in his voice, letting it be clear that he was taking this seriously.“Why did you do it? Why did you throw this thing at my boss? What are your intentions?”The two young men immediately went down on their knees as they felt immense fear that they couldn't rationalize, because they

    As soon as Gerald got out of his car, he could immediately feel eyes on him. His senses tingled and he couldn't help but glance around him. He whispered to himself.“What was that?”Chauffeur Richard heard him and couldn't help but also gaze in the direction his young master was looking.“What was what, Sir? What's wrong? Do you need help with anything?”Before Gerald could say anything, Terry walked over to slap his best friend's back lightly.“Dude, come on, what are you staring at?”Gerald glanced at Terry to find him truthfully unbothered, and yet, he couldn't shake off the feeling.“Am I the only one feeling this? Is there someone watching me right now?”He had never gotten a sensation this strong before. It was like his body was on a whole new level of observation, picking up on something that he usually wouldn't be able to in the past.While Terry and Chauffeur Richard glanced at each other, Head Bodyguard Kevin walked over with a frown on his face.“I feel it, Boss.”He stare

    Terry stood there, dumbfounded Dr a minute.“I'm sorry, huh? What did you just say?”Gerald chuckled at his best friend's reaction to the revelation.“I'm not joking, buddy. I signed a top-tier exclusive modelling contract with Crimson & Crown. It turns out that after our first meeting at the mega-mall, Miss Steph really liked my looks and physique. She has been looking for a particular bodyguard who has yet to be added to her collection of models. That was until she met me. ”He shrugged his shoulders.“To be honest, I don't even fully understand what all that means, but it seems she had been specifically looking for someone with my body proportions.”Terry felt confused at this.“And so she just offered you a contract, just like that?”.Gerald chuckled.“Well, not exactly. It wasn't that easy. She actually asked me a bunch of questions in multiple rounds of interviews and then she summoned some fashion professionals to inspect me.”“After that, she came to the conclusion that I was

    There was a moment of silence before Terry spoke, answering Gerald’s questions.“I found out you’ve actually purchased this penthouse from Juliet. She called me early this morning, urging me to come to this penthouse. I was so confused at first, but then she sounded really sad and I just had to follow her direction.”“And to my surprise, one of the most expensive penthouses in this city is actually owned by my best friend. Why on earth didn't you tell me about it?”Gerald sat up straight.“I was going to tell you, today. Why did you think I had my bodyguards bring you to this hotel? I was going to reveal everything to you at the private breakfast I had planned for you, Jules, and me.”Mentioning her name, Terry crossed his arms over his chest, shaking his head slightly at Gerald.“Bro, Juliet was crying when she opened the penthouse door for me. I didn't even get to properly take in my first-ever view of your place because she was making me so worried. She told me what happened betwe
