Damien looked at the two men lounging in his executive chairs, letting out a heavy sigh as he walked over and sat down at his desk. "Are you two looking for trouble? What was the meaning of that ridiculous prank?" The visitors were Jake Hartmann, the son of Donald Hartmann, a prominent mogul in the oil and gas industry, and Milo Reed, a quieter man whose calm exterior masked a deeply playful personality. Damien was thoroughly annoyed that these two had completely derailed his afternoon plans with Ethan. Milo replied, leaning back and staring at Damien with an amused grin. "Chill out. We just wanted to surprise you. We’ve missed you, man. If I remember correctly, it’s been years since the three of us last hung out." Damien merely snorted in response and booted up his computer.

He was already incredibly annoyed and had no patience for stupid questions; he just wanted to leave the area as quickly as possible. "When I say drive, you drive!" Elijah sighed and pulled the key out of the ignition. "I'm afraid I can't do that, Boss." Damien furrowed his eyebrows, staring at him coldly. Elijah turned around fully in his seat to face him. "I know you're wondering why I'm refusing to drive you, and I know your anger is valid since I'm disobeying your orders. But it's for your own good, Boss.

Damien's tense posture relaxed slightly, his voice leveling out. "Okay. Tell me why you're refusing to drive."

As they drove up to the entrance of Valeigh High, the area was packed with graduating students and their families. Everyone was celebrating with their loved ones, including Kristen. Soon, the ceremony began, and it was time to present the students with their awards. The director walked onto the stage and spoke into the microphone. "Good day, ladies and gentlemen. I am so glad we are all here to celebrate these wonderful young minds. We will now proceed with handing out the certificates and special awards." The crowd clapped warmly as the presentations started. Ethan cheered and clapped loudly when it was finally Kristen’s turn. Valeigh High always did things a bit differently; they required each student to give a short speech and take a commemorative photo on stage with their family. Kristen gave a heartfelt speech dedicated to his brother, thanking him for being his biggest supporter. To everyone's surprise, Killian actually walked up onto the stage, and the two brothers took a pict

Damien heard the loud music coming from downstairs. As he left his room, his face scrunched up in disgust. Downstairs, people were drinking and dancing closely together. He reminded himself that this party was all for Ethan.Looking through the crowd, Damien saw Ethan talking to a girl. He frowned, wondering, Who is that? His worry faded when he realized it was just Ethan's friend, Anastasia. Damien couldn't believe how jealous he had become lately. But no one could really blame him, Ethan attracted both genders like flies.Still, if Ethan or anyone else knew what Damien was thinking, they would think he was crazy. After all, Damien was the one who usually got all the attention.Damien sent a text to Elijah that read: "Do it now." As Damien walked toward the stairs, Elijah rushed into the party room and shouted, "Everyone out, now!"The guests were surprised by his sudden entrance, but everyone quickly left the building. Ethan was shocked and tried to reach Elijah to ask what was goin
