The next morning, Emily and Brian shared the same room in the house of one of Brian’s friends.He slept on the couch and she occupied the bed.“Brian, it’s a good thing that my parents are abroad otherwise…” Jake Miller, one of Brian’s closest friends said smiling.“Sorry bro… I owed you one!” Brian answered coolly.He could not leave Emily elsewhere.She also refused to go back to her neighborhood as her situation with her father was too difficult.“Bro, until now, I am still wondering. Who is Emily Greyson in your life aside from being just a friend and neighbor, huh?!” Jake’s tone was doubtful and teasing.All their friends were a long time curious about Emily as she was the only girl in Brian’s circle.Maybe it was time for him to admit it since he owed him.In the corner, Emily went to get a glass of water and happened to hear their conversation.“Jake, stop messing. Emily is my childhood friend. She is…” Brian paused thinking of an appropriate word to describe Emily.“She is…” J

Emily stood lost like a terrified puppy.Little did she know her life started to take a huge leap because of Charles Adam’s appearance in her life.Charles’s team successfully blocked the news but words were too quick to scatter. Her name was instantly linked to Charles. Everyone wanted to have a piece of her. So, this is the feeling of being famous!“Ms., what is your relationship with Charles?” A fat guy asked cornering her.“Ms., are you guys dating?” Another reporter butted in.“Are you and Charles in a serious relationship?” Another woman rushed over to her.They were like having a competition to get answers from Emily.“Ms., we heard that you are a commoner, a student, and have no affluent background. Do you consider yourself lucky? Or how did you get the superstar’s interest? Could you tell us something?” And another person bombarded her with determined questions.Upon hearing these questions, she was dumbfounded.What could she possibly answer?She was never shy about being po

When Charles saw Emily’s awkward expression, he felt satisfied. He teasingly smirked and then walked away, leaving Emily in a daze. What was that?After calming down, Emily continued on her way to Warren’s room, still feeling restless from Charles’s words. She knocked once, and Warren quickly responded. She thought she was already early, but everyone in the mansion seemed to wake up very early. She decided to wake up earlier than them. Breathing in and out to stabilize herself, Emily then went inside. She instantly saw Warren sitting on his bed, wearing a bright smile. It seemed like he was waiting for her. Remembering what Charles had said last night, Emily felt awkward inside, but she quickly managed to plaster a smile.“Good morning, young master,” she greeted him politely, but Warren’s bright expression changed. “I know my brother scolded you. Please don’t take it to heart. I apologize on his behalf because my brother never apologizes to anyone.” Warren’s eyes turned cold but quic

The burning sensation on her cheeks intensified.Her eyes stuck to his and it was hard for her to look away.She felt lost in Charles’s deep abyss.“Hmmm… Emily mind telling me about yourself?” Old Master Frederick spoke formally.Emily was quickly snapped back to her senses.She looked at Old Master Frederick and cast him a faint smile.No one knew that her lips were trembling restlessly.“Sir, I am an architectural student and I am a scholar in your school,” Emily answered politely. She had nothing to boast only her scholarship in the most prestigious school in the city and it happened that Old Master Frederick Adam was the founder.“Oh, I see,” Frederick replied nodding and ate elegantly.“See Grandpa? Aside from being beautiful, Emily is smart.” Warren butted in proudly. It’s crystal clear that he was selling Emily to Old Master Frederick.“I trusted your judgment, my boy. After all, your choice matters.” Old Frederick just wanted Warren to settle down.His words carried an obvio

All students know this person because he was none other than the president of their university.This dignified man was in his 50s wearing a formal gray suit.His black hair was mixed with white hair.His black shoes were shiny and polished.Emily quickly stood up and bowed acknowledging his presence politely.The president was always sitting in his high chair and his high office.He was seldom seen on the university’s grounds and could only be seen when he gave speeches at special events at their university.Why did he come down to the library?Doesn’t he have a lot of assistants to get the books he wanted?It was said that his office has its own library.So, what is he doing here?“Please come with me,” President Walker’s tone was humble but the superiority was unmistakable.Emily looked very confused.Her words were stuck in her throat.“The Old Master Frederick Adam wants to see you.” President Walker simply added to answer her confusion.What?!!President Walker came down to the l
