Miss Julian headed towards the elevator still in shock, and picked up the phone to call the directing board.

"I need to speak with the board, immediately," she said, trying to composed herself.

Miss Julian was only allowed to the directing board conferences on special occasions and she doesn't get to choose when to and not to. The conference meeting are mainly for shareholders with exceedingly high shares.

So when Miss Julian requested to speak to the directing board physically. It was going to be a difficult request that might take days to be process.

But when they heard about someone proposing to buy the Bank, they had no choice than to let her in.

A few minutes later, Julian got out on the elevator at the 30th floor and walked into the conference room where the directing board was seated.

The hall was sleek and spacious, with a well ventilation, complimented by the floor-to-ceiling windows adoring the wall of the hall. The hall was a true definition of luxury.

Powerful figures sat across the plush chairs as they stared at Julian stepping into the conference hall.

Among the three seated shareholders, a person known as Daniel Woodson stood up and welcomed Julian respectfully. He was the youngest and almost same age as Julian.

"Welcome Miss Julian." He gestured graciously at the plush chairs, his hand extending in a gentle invitation.

Daniel Woodson has been known in Stone City as one of the sons of the most powerful figures and they can get anything they want, anytime they wants it. But it has become a difficult act to get Julian to bed. Regardless of his promises, Julian had kept it all professional.

"A kind gesture isn't your thing, Woodson," A man believed to in his 40s; Scott Hudson said, and the other giggled alongside.

Julian just pretended she didn't understand what they were saying. She just have to play it cool and keep it professional as she doesn't want to offend any of this big families.

Though she knew all the advances Daniel Woodson have been throwing at her can actually get her the life she needed, but she have been politely rejecting, even after Daniel voted for her to become a Bank Manager.

"So why the urgent call? And the proposal?"Douglas Splawn spoked. His voice boomed through hall. It was attention commanding.

"Sirs, I have a...an important proposal here. A customer has expressed interest in buying the bank." Julian started instantly.

The room fell silent, with all eyes fixated on Julian. One of the board members tapped a bottom on the boardroom table.

"Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Curry are not in the meeting today and we will like you to repeat what you just said, so they can hear you clearly." Douglas said.

"Did he say he want to buy the Bank?" Daniel Woodson asked with almost a calm voice as she stare at Julian with a smirk.

Julian nodded, "Yes, sir. That's exactly what he said. And he seems quite serious about it."

The room erupted into a mixture of shock, amusement, and confusion.

"This is absurd," Mr. Taylor exclaimed through the speakers. "We can't just sell the bank to anyone who walks in off the street."

Mr. Scott leaned forward, "I think we should at least hear him out. It's not every day we get an offer like this. Julian, can you bring him in?"

"Really? You just gonna bring a random stranger into a conference meeting? That's against our policy." Mr. Taylor expressed over the phone.

"He's not just a random stranger... He's currently our VIP customer. He made a withdrawal of $10 Million in one fold."

"$10 Million...?" They all gasped.

"Wait a minute, who is this person making such a massive offer? What's his background?" Mr. Taylor asked over the phone.

Julian, who had been quietly observing the conversation, spoke up.

"Actually, sir, I did a quick background check on him. His name is Dylan, and he's...a student. That was all on him. Nothing more."

The room fell silent, with the directing board exchanging skeptical glances.

"A student?" Taylor repeated over the phone, "How old is he?"

Julian hesitated before answering. "I think he's...21?"

The directing board burst out laughing, their initial skepticism now replaced with outright amusement. "A 21-year-old student wants to buy our bank worth tens of billions?" Daniel Woodson chuckled.

"This is ridiculous. He must be joking... And Miss Julian, you believed him? Don't tell me you don't know you're a bank manager." Douglas rained on her aggressively.

This was an opportunity to get back at her for refusing to lay with him.

Almost all the shareholders doesn't like Julian at all, because they haven't had their way with her in bed already. Only Daniel Woodson doesn't want to give up or else she might have been demoted the very moment Daniel stopped pushing.

The only indifferent person who keeps it professional was Scott Hudson.

They were all waiting for Taylor's objective response, but he murmured in disbelief. He doesn't know any powerful family with such name. It's doesn't seem like a name he knows.

"So, are we all on the same page here?" Scott asked, his eyes scanning the room for a response. "Are we actually considering selling?"

No one gave a befitting response, they were just murmuring while waiting for Taylor and Mrs. Curry's response since they have almost equal shares after Mr. Scott Hudson.

"I standing clear with Mr. Scott, whatever your decision is... I'm in. Don't have any business at hand that needs quick funding though. So whatever your decision is." Mrs Curry expressed over the phone.

"That's a done deal already..." Daniel giggled as she winked at Julian. "You two shares put together is more than ours, so the ball is in your court Scott." He hasn't said a word without smiling and staring at Julian.

Julian forcefully smiled whenever Daniel stared at her. Pretending it doesn't freak her out was what made her stood out of others that were agitating for the same managing position and many have been laid without getting the position.

"We are selling then. We've made tens of billions as profit already and we will be swimming in more profit if we sell now. Let's sell for $20 Billion, What do you all think?" Scott proposed.

"A student who is just 21 can fork out $20 Billion at once? That's an outrageous amount of money." Taylor expressed his doubts.

"A student who can withdraw $10 Million at once is worth looking into. Might be one of those wealthy clandestine folks. I'm hoping to get to know him if it's a done deal." Scott shrugged.

The discussion was heated, with some board members arguing that the offer was too low, while others believed it was a fair price.

After what felt like an eternity, the directing board finally agreed on a fixed price.

"Tell him it's $22 Billion, fixed price." Scott spoke and dismissed Julian.

She simply crossed one leg over the other and occasionally looked around the restaurant with her black glasses like she was waiting for someone.Then there was the receptionist.Every now and then, she would steal a glance toward Dylan before quickly looking away.One person could have been a coincidence... Two perhaps, but three? That wasn't something Dylan believed in.Becky noticed him looking around."What is it?""Nothing." Dylan smiled faintly.She tilted her head suspiciously.

    Ms. Stella took them to the best of the regulars, just beside a large glass wall overlooking the city skyline."Please have a seat, Mr. Dylan.""Thank you." Dylan nodded.The manager himself pulled out a chair for Dylan before another employee hurried over to do the same for Becky.She was completely speechless as the treatment wasn't close to normal. She came from a very wealthy background and she had been to occasions with her father and never had she received this enormous generosity.It wasn't the kind of respect someone received because they had money, it was something else and it felt like the entire hotel had been instructed to treated Dylan differently.The manager handed over a leather menu with both hands."Our head chef is available today. If there's anything outside the menu you'd like prepared, simply let us know.""I'll just have the usual.""Very well, sir."She turned toward Becky with another smile.

She looked at Dylan with a smile. She has been smiling all through their way there like had won a jackpot. But the moment they stepped into the lobby, the atmosphere shifted. The receptionist's eyes went wide and she instantly straightened her posture, bowing deeply. "Welcome back, sir! It is an absolute honor to have you with us today."Becky blinked, looking between the bowing staff and Dylan, who just gave a casual nod. 'Sir? Since when did hotel receptionists treat regular college guys with such royalty? Unless they know who Dylan is.' 'Wow... I shoul

    ......A few moments later, a white Mercedes-Benz rolled smoothly out of the school parking lot and inside was Becky and Dylan.Neither of them spoke for almost two minutes, just soft music playing through the speakers.Becky secretly glanced sideways, but Dylan was just so relaxed and almost impossible to read.'Why is this so difficult...?' She tightened both hands around the steering wheel.Back then, talking to Dylan had been effortless. Well, mostly because she never cared about what he thought. Right now, every word suddenly matters and the wrong one can jeopardize her only opportunity of spending time with him."So..." She cleared her throat, "I was considering Opulent Haven Hotel.... Heard they have very good food.""It's a ten-star rated hotel... Yeah, they have good food."She smiled proudly before she finally gasped what Dylan just said. "You've been there before?""A few times." He answered casually before breaking the eye contact.Becky smiled awkwardly as quickly ignored

    Becky didn't say a word until they had completely left the school premises.The noisy campus gradually faded behind them, replaced by the quiet roadside lined with tall trees swaying gently in the afternoon breeze.Only then did she finally stop walking."Dylan..." She called out gently and softly.He turned around, but Becky lowered her head and avoided his eyes. She felt like Dylan could see through her soul with those piercing golden eyes of his."I'm... sorry." Tears were already piling up at the corner of her eyes, making her look really apologetic.Dylan looked at her quietly and his silence made her to take a deep breath before continuing."I'm sorry for everything...." No one has ever seen Becky speak with at least no atom of pride masking her voice, until now. She was completely defenseless and clearly far from arrogance. Anyone would believe that she's remorseful of everything."I know saying 'sorry' won't erase everything I did..." She forced out a bitter smile. "But I rea

    As Dylan and Becky stepped out of the classroom, the hallway immediately erupted into whispers that spread through the crowd like wildfire."Yo... is that Becky with Dylan?""No way! Wasn't she against him just a few days ago?""She's even holding onto him like they've been together forever!"Students instinctively stepped aside, creating a clear path without anyone telling them to. It almost looked like the hallway itself was welcoming them. Every pair of eyes followed their every move and some stared in complete disbelief, others admired the sight, while a few could barely hide the jealousy burning inside them.Dylan's calm and unbothered walk only made the scene more unbelievable. He didn't seem interested in proving anything to anyone, yet his quiet confidence spoke louder than words ever could. Becky, on the other hand, held firmly onto his arm without the slightest intention of letting go, intentionally fueling every rumor spreading across campus."Dylan's really the king...!!
