Chapter 51Vladimir Pietro‘'Everything has been moved to the warehouse, boss'A smile spread across my lips while reading the text Vladimir had just sent to me a couple of seconds ago.'I'll be there shortly. Wait for me along with the boys' I replied to his text. I was getting ready to leave the office when a knock sounded on the door, and I ushered in whoever was there.It was Liam. My secretary.“Yes, Liam?” I barely spared him a glance as I was busy switching off my desktop.“There is an encrypted email for you, Sir. I already forwarded it to you via email. Also, the proposal for Mr. Grants has been concluded,”I raised my gaze to meet his head sitting on his 6’3ft height. His blue eyes were looking straight at me, but he lowered them the moment I made eye contact with him.“Send the proposal to the Grants corp and let me know their reply later. As for the email, I will check it later,” I told him, and he bowed slightly before turning to leave.“Liam…”He paused, turning to me
Derek 'Let's be friends' My heart ached as those words kept repeating in my head. What was she trying to say? That I wasn't good enough for a relationship? I wasn't her type of man? Who was then? That old man? She's going to regret this. The fading reverberating laughter on the rooftop brushed my ears as I took the stairs up, but was welcomed by Alexa standing close to the rail with her phone pressed to her ear with her right hand, and her left hand holding the rail. “That's sweet. I love you too,” I watched as she concluded her call. She flinched when she turned and found me standing with my hands tucked inside my pockets. “Derek?” She pulled a surprised face, and I finally walked up to her. “Have you been standing there?” She raised her eyebrows, and I scoffed silently. Bitch! I wasn't eavesdropping on your conversation. I put on a smile, shaking my head and said. “I just got here. I only heard ‘that’s sweet. I love you',” She breathed out, relief creeping up her face.
Chapter 48 Derek “It's the class president,” “Derek is here,” My classmates were quick to announce my presence as I made my way into the meeting hall where almost all my classmates were already waiting. My eyes dropped on Scarlett, and I almost smiled when I saw her standing out perfectly in the crowd. How she was always able to melt my heart in a way that no one woman could ever do, was something I couldn't still wrap my head around. Perhaps, she was just a special being. I made my way to the front of the hall, the noise slowly died down as I stood behind the podium until the loud silence took over. Even the sound of a pin drop would be heard at that moment. “Uh…” I began, taking a short deep breath. I wasn't cut out for this, but what could I do when I had to address the happenings? Damn the school rector for putting me up to this. I wouldn't be here if he hadn't asked me to. 'The school is already in chaos, Derek. You need to address this' He had pleaded with me while a

Chapter 46 Scarlett Wolff “How is Mr. Hottie?” Alexa whispered in my ear as we headed into the class, and I chuckled. My mind was about to explode, and I really needed to let out everything because I couldn't keep it inside me. What happened was too much to handle. “He is fine,” I smirked at her, and she gasped, covering her mouth. “Something happened, right? You better tell me everything without leaving a single thing out,” she pointed her index finger at me as we walked to take a seat, and I chuckled. “I wasn't planning to,” I smirked at her, and she chuckled. “That is why I love you. Now, spill the beans,” she kicked the air excitedly, covering her face as her cheeks flushed. I told her everything that happened between Lucien and I this morning, and by the time I was done narrating everything, she was sitting frozen on the spot with her eyes widened. “All that happened?” She cupped her cheeks in her palms, raising an eyebrow questioningly. “Fuck! This is… my goodne
