Ace and his friends are still hanging around the parking area when Blaze arrives, followed by Paul and Kit.
Blaze turned towards the group whom he knew were staring at him from afar. His eyes met the very familiar piercing eyes that he would always see every time he wakes up.
They stared at each other for a while before Blaze just subtly tilted his head before he turned away towards his second class.
"Where do you think he came from?" Lam asked softly while they also stood up to attend their first class.
Ace did not say anything since he is also not sure of where Blaze went. They just continued to walk in silence while Ace is still in deep thoughts.
Blaze is indeed not joking when the rings are delivered. "Blaze..." Ace called Blaze who is carefully scrutinizing the rings. "Hm?" Blaze just hummed his response while his eyes were still fixed on the rings. "You are not joking this time?" Ace asked with his bewildered tone. Blaze paused for a short while before he turned to look at Ace. "I never joked even the first time" Blaze said with his casual and calm tone. Ace stared at Blaze who just calmly stared back at him while he became thoughtful for a moment.
Ace, together with his friends underwent the basic procedure of internship at VMI and no one has suspected that they somewhat have a personal connection to the Vaughn family. They were treated just like how everyone would treat an intern and they have also undergone orientation where they were introduced to the different core functions of the company. During the first days of their training, they mostly did office work while they were introduced to the very pertinent and meticulous ways of car designs. Ace and his friends are also making great impressions with their excellent dedication to learning every aspect of their training. Even senior automotive engineers and automotive stylist
Ace became so busy with his training and Blaze has also started with his hospital internship. They can just see each other and be together every night when Blaze's schedule permits. They just usually eat their dinner together and take their rest. Sometimes they are too tired to make love and just be content to be cuddled with each other the whole night. Blaze never visited Ace at VMI and Ace would just wait for Blaze at home. They are never seen in public together to avoid another topic for the media to talk upon. Blaze wanted to preserve their privacy and peace, especially for Ace's family who are just simple people who don't deserve some unjust judgment from others. Ace and Blaze have their own lives and are total strangers in public's eyes.
Ace set aside his worries about several unwanted attention from girls and chose to have a full focus on his internship especially when he formulated a proposal for a project the company could use. He has also readily discussed it with Breiy in one of their Saturday get-togethers. "It is a brilliant project, Ace and it is new in the market. Automatic ultraviolet light disinfection in cars will be a breakthrough in car manufacturing technology. You won't know what will happen in the future but sanitation and disinfection to all kinds of viruses and bacteria or even fungi and molds sound brilliant to me" Breiy exclaimed in awe when Ace discussed his proposed project. He had already started to study and familiarize its mechanism. "It's not that concrete but I'm trying to research its feasibility especially its mechanism"
Just as planned, after a month, Ace together with his friends and with the secret supervision of Breiy Vaughn have finished the benchmark and the proposal of the project. All of the senior engineers are unaware the five boys under their supervision have already developed technology and mechanism that would give VMI another breakthrough in car manufacturing. The whole project cost Ace and his four friends sleepless nights on their computers and simulators which were installed by Breiy's men inside Blaze's apartment. The project is also the main reason why the four boys are almost living with Ace and Blaze for almost a month. "I really need a real fuck Lam, I'm so drought now..." Parker whispered in Lam's
Five pairs of startled eyes abruptly turned to Blaze who was gaping at the four in disbelief. "Ace...these chipmunks had an orgy last night!" Blaze turned to Ace with his wide eyes while the four guys gaped at Blaze with their blushing faces. "Chipmunks?..." Max asked while looking and sounding so perplexed. "Are we the chipmunks?" Lam asked Blaze and Ace with his hard tone which made Blaze grin sheepishly at Lam. "Isn't it adorable?" Blaze asked innocently with his sweet smile and angelic face. Four pairs of eyes glared at Blaze who hurriedly moved beside Ace to hide.
"I was never part of the project, whatever in the presentation is all from the hard work and brains of these five gentlemen" the president announced when silence and curious tension developed inside the room. Everyone remained so quiet while Ace's direct superior stared at Ace's group with confusion. They all wanted to ask the connection of the interns to the Vaughn but no one dared. Even the executives are speechless while looking so awkward. They are torn between being curious and being afraid to ask the two men who are just so calm in their seats. Breiy and Lander are enjoying the curiosity and confusion of everyone in the room. They remained so quiet even if they are so aware of what everyone wants to know. Ace and his friends are all trying to be compo
"Sir good evening" Ace politely greeted the man. "The ever famous black panther" the man muttered while he intently stared at Ace before he turned to look at the car again. "Yes sir..." Ace honestly replied. "It's the symbol of power and wealth, it's one of VMI's best. Every wealthy man in the country itched to have their hands on this mighty vehicle" the man proudly exclaimed. "Yes sir, it is" Ace agreed proudly while still feeling so awkward. He is fully aware of the several offers for the vehicle which was all been turned down by VMI. The man intently stared at Ace's uneasy face and smiled warmly.
