When he saw how distracted Cassandra was, Jeremy put the chess game away.“I should get going, Cassandra. Remember to keep an eye on the heater if you turn it on when you sleep. It’s a fire hazard,” he said.“Didn’t Dr. Keane say they were going to install air conditioning?” she asked.“These donations from corporations normally take a long time to be settled. Maybe you’ll be able to enjoy it before you graduate.” Jeremy wasn’t a stranger to these things. In fact, he didn’t like it very much when entrepreneurs made such donations. “Whatever it is, you can use the heater for now. The heat will be turned on in a few days, anyway.”Cassandra nodded dazedly, no longer holding out hope for the air conditioning.She was a little surprised by Jeremy’s attitude, though. He seemed to be rather disdainful and dismissive of Ned’s donation. What was wrong with it?This wasn’t the only surprise she was in for. When she left for work the following morning, she saw several people in uniforms he

“I know nothing about that, but he’s coming here to take up the position of my company’s legal director. I think he’ll also be doing the same for other companies, but that’s not my concern. All I know is he’ll handle all my companies' legal matters. Don’t you wanna get into the new legal director’s good books?” Ned sounded like he was joking with her.Cassandra was happy to hear this. She did get lonely sometimes, what with not having any family in Genovia. Having Oliver here would probably take care of this. Her heart warmed at the thought of having a family member here with her.“Alright.” It had been a while since she had last seen Oliver, and she did miss him. “What time is his flight arriving?”“I’ll let you know. Get back to work.” Ned dismissed her without pulling anything funny.As Cassandra made her way back to her office, she thought about how normal Ned had been. Perhaps he really had given up on her now that she and Jeremy were “at that stage”. Anyway, he only chased af

Oliver’s apartment was on the eighth floor.Cassandra was shocked the moment they entered the apartment.It was twice as large as hers, and had two bedrooms. The furnishings were even nicer than hers.“Ned, you went all out for this, didn’t you?” Oliver couldn’t help saying this.“I had to show you my sincerity, didn’t I?” Ned said. “What if you ran away with someone else if I didn’t treat you well enough? I’d be so lonely if you left me.”Cassandra was suddenly lost for words.It seemed Ned couldn’t contain his flirtatious nature with both men and women.She helped Oliver unpack. He didn’t have much stuff, so it didn’t take long.“Why don’t you spend the night here, Cassandra? It’s late, and I’d worry about you returning home alone. There are two bedrooms, anyway. Let’s enjoy the new place President Lawrence got for me,” Oliver said.Cassandra didn’t have any qualms about staying at her cousin’s place, but after agreeing, something suddenly occurred to her—what if Ned were to

Oliver was Cassandra’s relative, so this was Jeremy’s first time meeting with Cassandra’s extended family. As such, he took it very seriously.On their way to the basketball arena, Cassandra kept thinking of the things Oliver liked and disliked so Jeremy could arrange things accordingly.Cassandra: [There’s gonna be four of us, so remember to reserve the correct number of seats.]Jeremy: [Four? Who else is there, aside from Oliver and us?]Cassandra thought about it before replying.Cassandra: [Ned Lawrence. He’s a good friend of Oliver’s, and he’s the one who got Oliver to come here and work for him.]Jeremy: [Oh, I see. Got it!]At this moment, Ned’s phone rang. It was Neil.“What’s up, Neil?” Ned asked. “You want me to watch over Joshua? Drop him off at the Nixes’ arena, then. I’m playing basketball there, and I’m almost there.” Then, he hung up.“Are my ears fooling me? You, Ned Lawrence, are babysitting a kid?” Oliver was in disbelief. “The almighty Ned Lawrence is babysi

Cassandra sat beside Jeremy, leaning close to him to ask what he had ordered. He answered her patiently, and added that he had ordered a child’s meal for Joshua.The three other men drank some water.“I should’ve given you a warm welcome when you first arrived, Oliver.” Jeremy stood up to shake hands with him.“No, no, it’s fine.” Oliver was used to casual settings, and didn’t really like standing on ceremony. “How’s your business going here, President Myer?”“It’s not too bad. Enough for me to support my family.” He glanced at Cassandra.Cassandra met his eyes, and they smiled.“That won’t do—coming all the way from Lesia to set up a business in Merania should be enough for you to feed a whole town, not just your family!” Oliver said half-jokingly.For some reason, he didn’t really like Jeremy. Perhaps it was because they didn’t have anything in common.“Oliver, you don’t have any achievements under your belt yet, do you? And you came all the way here from Emmeria. What right
