Chapter 22
After the bottom three was announced, everyone was looking forward to the top 3. The emcee cleared his throat and started his announcement.
"Now, for the moment you have all been waiting for. We are going to mention the top 3 groups who have raised the highest amount during this fundraiser. Get ready for it!"
All the students were becoming restless. They couldn't wait to see who was top this year. All of them immediately looked towards the Literature Department's side and could see Jennifer, Lisa and Lauren standing there next to Charles Chamberlain. Everyone felt that the results were already assured. The Literature Department would take top spot.
"In third place, from the Engineering department, we have Emma Stewart and Jenna Jefferson. They raised a combined amount of 20 000 dollars."
There were gasps all around campus. Everyone was shocked. Who would have donated such a huge amount of money? 'It's crazy to think what people do with their money,'

After she went down from the platform, Christina approached Warren. She was planning on thanking him, but after she saw so many eyes on them, she thought it would be best to leave it for later. When she stood in front of him, tears welled up in her eyes and she could only look at him with gratitude. As she was about to cry, Warren touched her hand and smiled. She was taken aback by Warren's actions and quickly retrieved her hand, however a few students already saw it."Look, Warren is trying his luck with that girl.""He doesn't have a conscience or any shame. After hearing she has 30 000 dollars, he is trying his luck with her," another student said."He is really pitiful. It's one thing to be poor, but he is so shameless that he would do something like this in public.""You could see the tears in Christina's eyes. She is obviously distressed because of what Warren just did."Every student had an opinion on what Warren just did. His intention was

"Good evening, Ma'am. A reservation for two I assume?" the receptionist asked when she saw Warren and Christina. She could see by the way Warren dressed, that he was not the one capable enough to book a table at the Heavenly Sky Diner."Yes Miss. We would like a table for two, however we didn't book in advance," Christina said with a smile. She thought that it wouldn't be a problem if she didn't book a table since she could afford the costs anyways."I'm sorry Ma'am, but if you didn't book a table in advance I cannot help you. I am working according to this list and if your name isn't on it, then I cannot help you," the receptionist said as she pointed to her tablet.Christina felt embarrassed. She really wanted to treat Warren to a meal at the fanciest restaurant in town, but now she couldn't even book a table.She look at Warren shyly and said "I'm so sorry, Mr Cole. I really wanted to treat you to dinner here, but it seems like

When Jennifer and Charles saw this scene they were left speechless. They couldn't wrap their head around it. It was clear as day that Warren had Christina didn't have a booking for a table. The receptionist even confirmed it. So why was Mr Lewis personally welcoming them into his prestigious restaurant. Charles couldn't take it any longer."Mr Lewis, good day. My name is Charles Chamberlain, the son of Christopher Chamberlain. I believe we have met."Mr Lewis looked at Charles with a frown. He was acquainted with Christopher Lewis and they often played golf together. Mr Lewis would occasionally give Christopher a few tickets to allow him entrance into the Heavenly Sky Diner if he ever wanted to come here for a meal. It seemed like Christopher didn't appreciate his hospitality, since he never attended the Heavenly Sky Diner once. He always gave his tickets to his son, because he didn't think much of Mr Lewis' sincerity."Yes, I believe we have. How ma

Warren and Christina enjoyed their meal in relative peace.'It feels good to talk to someone without getting judged,' Warren thought. What was even better for him, was the fact that Christina never once asked about where the 100 000 dollars came from that he donated to her. She felt guilty already, so she didn't want to remind Warren of the money that he lost.Since Warren didn't want to be reimbursed, Christina felt that treating him to dinner would be the next best thing. However, who would've thought that she couldn't even book a table at such a classy restaurant without Warren's aid. She felt even more embarrassed.Christina consoled herself with the fact that she would pay for the meal. In that way she would feel that she at least did something for Warren.The two of them ate and talked for more than 2 hours. When they had their fill, they went downstairs to settle the bill. Christina was worried because she didn't know if she

Warren breathe a sigh of relief when he heard what the cashier said. He knew that Jack would have his back, but he was worried that Jack might be too respectful towards him. That would give Jennifer and Charles a reason to doubt his identity if someone as powerful as Jack Lewis was subservient to him.The moment Jack Lewis appeared, Warren flashed a gaze towards him. His gaze was stern, a signal to Jack not to do anything rash. Jack felt nervous, seeing Warren's glare and he wondered if he did something wrong."Mr Lewis, this pair here ate a dinner worth 64 000 dollars, but now they do not have the money to pay for it. I know you personally vouched for them, when you welcomed the two of them, but I'm sure the Heavenly Sky Diner should have repercussions for such incidents," Jennifer said the moment Jack Lewis appeared.Before Mr Lewis could respond, Warren interrupted him and said "Mr Lewis, please forgive my rudeness. However we do not have the mone

When they were finally alone, Warren breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want Jennifer or Christina to know about his hidden wealth. He looked at Jack and couldn't help but smile."I have to say, Mr Lewis you really helped me out of a tight spot there," Warren said gratefully."Please Master Cole, you're too kind, I'm not worthy of your praise," Warren said."I don't want any of my other businesses to suffer from any financial problems, and since I enjoyed a meal here, I think I have to compensate you. I will wire the amount now," Warren said.Jack didn't want to refuse him, in fear of offending him, so he only nodded."On that note, I would like a report on the business' books. Could I have it by tomorrow. If it isn't too much of a problem, could you also get me a report of the rest of the businesses in the Flemond Galaxy District. It would be best if you could highlight any of the businesses that have been strugglin

Early the next morning, Warren took a quick shower and left before Samuel could wake up. The reason he woke up so early was that he wanted to go to a dealership and buy a car for himself. He could afford anything he wanted. So he thought of buying a Bugatti Chiron. This type of sports car costs around 2 billion dollars which is small change to Warren. After all, he did have more than 500 million dollars in his bank account just lying there. He thought that it was high time he put it to use. Warren hailed a cab to go to a dealership early in the morning. He wanted to buy the car so that he could drive it to his new company. It would look weird if the owner of the company arrived in a cab. What kind of image would his staff have of him? When the cab dropped Warren at the automobile center, there were a few cars on display. A Lamborghini Urus and Porsche 718 caught his eye in particular. These two cars were the highlight at the center. It looked amazing and if he were t

When he was about to enter, a security guard blocked him and asked for a form of identification. Warren was taken aback by this. Although he was the owner of the company, no one knew that, so how could he explain himself."I'm sorry Sir, but I don't have any way to verify my identity right now, but could you please call whoever is in charge here," Warren said.The security guard looked at him with a frown forming on his face. He had never seen such a bold person before. He came dressed in such mediocre clothes and then he demanded to see their boss. He must have a screw lose in his head or something."If you cannot provide a form of identification, then I'm afraid I cannot grant you access to the building. Also, it is out of my hands to call the person who is in charge," the guard said firmly.Warren became depressed when he heard the guard's words. He just wanted to enter his building, but this guard stopped him. Warren wasn't ang
