A/n: This is the chapter for Chapter 37. The editor is available on weekdays so I can't edit the previous chapter. The changes would reflect by Monday. **** The poll refreshed again and the side which Layla and Eduardo were going out was continuously rising. Finally, the voting poll ended. Eighty-seven percent of the votes believed Layla and Eduardo were going out. The 13% that left was probably my department which believed in me. It seemed like Layla would have her money back tripled. I closed my phone, regretting that I did not place a money bet as Layla did. Michelle's haughty voice sounded again. "It's very obvious. Only blind people would not figure out what was going on between them, right?" The surroundings turned noisy. They all agreed with Michelle's reasoning. "W-what should we do? It seemed that the two is going out...or if not...perhaps they are friends with benefits?" I heard some anxious murmurs behind me. My department was getting nervous. They too seemed
A/n: This is for chapter 38.****The silent hall was still for a moment then it erupted."...Ask the party involved?""...Does she mean asking Layla Pearson and Eduardo Calvano?""...But would the two come?"I smiled. "I said those things earlier to Michelle because she is not showing us any evidence. She is just simply making stories and assumptions through those stolen pictures that don't mean anything. It's laughable to convince everyone with that makeup story. So why not let the person involved speak for themselves?"I pointed in the direction where the two main subjects of this scandal were silently watching. "They are already here. Let's just ask them."The spotlight was turned in that direction."They are here?!"All of them looked in the direction I pointed. Upstairs, Eduardo, Layla, Gabrielle, and Levi was seating together in a box where the VIP of the theater hall gather. They chose a special place befitting their identities."Oh my gosh! Four of the Golden Heirs are here!
A/n: This is for chapter 39.***She had been cornered and the only way out was to admit defeat.The people in the acting department also knew this fact. They looked at Michelle and started to blame her."Michelle, you said that you are very confident that we win this bet. But what is happening? The Golden Heir showed up and denied your claims with evidence! Are we really going to lose in front of the whole school?!""Are we really going to treat those lowly art department students like our seniors for the whole semester?! Ah...this is seriously embarrassing!"They already know that they messed up. With Eduardo's firm stance and foolproof evidence, it was clear that they have lost.While on the other hand, the Art Department was excited. They did not let this chance to insult the Acting Department pass by."Haha! Now, who is blind? It's you guys who are delusional! Making up stories in your own.""They are so smug earlier because they thought they could just slander anyone they want t
All eyes were watching Michelle, waiting for her to admit defeat and be humiliated.Michelle lowered her head and said with gritted teeth. "...I am...sorry."She doesn't sound sorry at all. She sounds like a beast uttering a growl.My co-department was not satisfied. "Is that even an apology? You don't look apologetic or sincere at all! It seemed like you are cursing her!"I thought too as well.Michelle glared at me, "I said I am sorry. I am taking back my words. I am wrong and you are right, happy?"It sounded like she was going to shred me into pieces if I said no.Unfortunately for her, that wasn't what I wanted to hear. "You forgot something to include in your apology."Michelle knew what it was. "I am taking back my words that you are an old lady."Oh? She said it in one breath."But don't think this is going to end! Today, you made me lose face. I will make sure to pay you back the same humiliation you caused me. I will be watching you!" She then left in big strides.The crowd
Hmm...Since we are all eating, should we also invite Kane? I looked at them but no one seemed to remember to invite Kane. I kinda pity Kane now."We should call Kane. He is the only one missing." I reminded them.Gabrielle nodded. "Of course. He should be there.""...." So please messaged him.Gabrielle did not take my hint. I reminded her again, "You can invite Kane.""Yeah. You should call him." Gabrielle passed the matter to me."..."Everyone except Eduardo looked at me as if it was an obvious matter for me to contact Kane first.I have no choice but to take out my phone.Right, he was my partner so it was natural that I am the one who would contact him. Agh.As I was about to message him, I received an incoming call.Speaking of the devil.It was Kane."Hello?""Where are you?" Kane's magnetic and deep voice sounded. His voice sounded good and it even amplified on the phone. As if he was whispering in my ears.I shook my head to wake up from that strange state."I am in the priv
But Layla couldn't see it and denied it."Of course not. Boss and I are not like that. That's the line we will not cross and never be crossed."I glanced at Eduardo whose eyes darkened. I don't think you and Eduardo agree on that.Layla might not know but Eduardo has set his eyes on her.My fingers holding the cup tightened. If Kane did not act soon, Layla would be completely fallen into Eduardo's trap. I should think of a plan soon.Gabrielle did not buy Layla's denial. "Really? But seeing you two, I think you guys are about to cross that line. We are not fools. We could see-"Eduardo interrupted Gabrielle's new round of teasing. "Layla said it's not. So it's not." Eduardo's eyes were a bit domeenering. He changed the direction of the conversation to the interrogator, "How about the two of you? Are you guys dating?"Gabrielle was about to answer when Levi frowned, "Eduardo, don't put us into an embarrassing situation. You know I have a girlfriend."Gabrielle's face turned ugly, "Ja
In the end, the opportunity I opened up was wasted.After we left the restaurant, I dragged Kane behind."You..!" I glared at him, hating iron for not being steel.Kane looked at me confused, "What did I do?""I told you not to waste this chance! We rarely eat together and you lost the chance to show your gentleness to her!"Kane frowned. "What is serving food and gentleness do with each other? Besides, even if I wanted to give her food, she won't take it. Her plate was full and she can't finish it all."Who doesn't want someone to serve them food while the other party was thinking about their health? Girls like it when their partners cared about them. These simple gestures matters!"That kind of thinking will make you lose. Don't give up showing off easily. You can use some other ways. In that case, you can help her finish her food or something like that."Kane's frown turned deeper, "Does eating leftovers would show my gentleness? I don't really understand girls.""..." Nevermind.T
Saturday morning, Layla and Kane left the house.After they left, I waited for a few minutes before taking out my car keys. I followed them.Of course, I don't have anything going on today. Nor did I contact Gabrielle or Levi to make up a lie.If I were to involve them, those two would not allow me to be left alone. They might join me in following these guys. With other people in tow, our spying would be obvious and we might end up ruining this hard-earned date.Initially, I don't plan to follow them but this was Kane and Layla's first date. I am kinda anxious, especially with Kane's zero romantic experience. If something happens in the middle, I bet this man would just end up escorting Layla directly to home right after the task.Or what if Eduardo learned where Layla was and wanted to interrupt them? Who would stop the unnecessary people who wanted to meddle with them? This was a rare opportunity that we can't waste.Anyway, I am really worried.I would just take a peek. If the atmo
