Jepherson slowed his steps letting Raeleigh catch up to him then reached out and took her hand in his. Raeleigh instinctively tried to pull her hand away. Laughing, Jepherson held on, "Come on, there's no one around." Raeleigh narrowed her eyes at him Jepherson. What a bully! But did she really want to tug her hand away? She continued walking. When Jepherson stopped walking did she finally ask what had been on her mind. "Why are you here?" "I need your help. Remember that blue car you designed? I want to invest in that and name it after you. You do know that my company needs talented designers like you, right? I hope you will consider joining my company." Raeleigh thought of her design. As proud as she is of her design, she had a feeling that Scarlette was behind this sudden request. This was not the first time after all. "Jepherson, I..." Raeleigh was about to refuse, but before she could say more, Jepherson interrupted. "Don't tell say that y
Raeleigh left to attend her class. Thankfully, nothing much happened all day. Zorion would occasionally drop by to find Raeleigh focusing in class. When classes were over in the evening, she found a quiet place to sit, flanked by Deanna and Scarlette. Deanna asked, "Raeleigh, would you like to come over to my house this weekend?" Raeleigh shook her head, "No thanks, I need to visit my grandmother." "How about I accompany you then?" Deanna suggested. If Raeleigh did not want to go over to her house that weekend, then she would go over to Raeleigh's instead. Scarlette's face was full of disdain. "Can you please grow up? Why must you follow Raeleigh? Also were you going to invite me over to your house?" Deanna grunted. "Nope." "Fine, I wouldn't go even if you did." Raeleigh chuckled when she saw Deanna and Scarlette bickering. At long last, it was the weekend. Raeleigh had already packed her for the weekend and was eager to leave. Howe
They walked in companionable silence but once they arrived at the market, Raeleigh shook off his hand. Jepherson stayed silent. He calmly turned off the flashlight and followed Raeleigh into the market. Most of the stalls still open were selling fruits. Raeleigh walked around and bought some vegetables, then left. Jepherson faithfully behind her. When they made their home, Jepherson took the grocery bag from Raeleigh and shifted it so that he could still hold her hand and shine the flashlight. It was awkward, to say the least. Jepherson was amused with her squirming. He was sure Raeleigh liked him. She just was not ready to admit it yet. He looked forward to the day she stopped lying to herself and give in to her feelings for him. When they arrived at the house, Raeleigh found Stuart still standing at the door. She chided Jepherson, "You should let them wait in the house next time." Raeleigh went in, not noticing that Jepherson stood outs
After dinner, Raeleigh watched TV with Jepherson while Novalie rested in her room. It was quiet in the living with just the two of them. Raeleigh was stared at the screen, not really seeing anything. Jepherson decided to go into the kitchen to cut some fruits for her. He noticed that he had not seen her eating any junk food or fruits, which was a little strange. Raeleigh looked at the fruit in front of her and made no move no take one. Jepherson reached out, snagged a slice of apple, and held it to her lips. However, she did not respond. So, Jepherson placed the slice of apple in his mouth, then lowered his head to hers. Her eyes widened and she opened her mouth. What– Quick as a flash, Jepherson slipped the apple into her mouth. Eyes wide, Raeleigh raised her hand to his chest, fully intending to push him away. However, Jepherson did not let her up. She tried to wriggle out of his arms but to no avail. "Eat your apple," Jepherson said as he finally releas
"D*mn it!" The moment after he swore, there was dead silence in the car. Then, Zorion got out of the car to check on it. Jepherson, too, got out of the car and walked towards the car. Just as Zorion was about to approach the car, his phone suddenly rang. He answered the phone. After he hung up the phone, he turned around and went back into his car. Jepherson, too, received a phone call. He, too, turned back around and got into his car. After getting in the car, Stuart turned around and asked, "Young Master?" "Let's go." Jepherson turned his face away. He did not even get the chance to see who the person was before leaving. Zorion's car had already left. Soon, the cars on both sides drove away and the car that was nlocked also left the road. Raeleigh decided to head back to the dormitory to drop her things off before heading over to the lecture hall. However, she bumped into Flynt, just as she came down from the dormitory. Raeleigh p
All the students in the class were in a daze. This was what Raeleigh thought anyway. Their attention was focused on her because there was an attractive guy sitting right next to her. She found it ridiculous that he could still fall asleep under the watchful eyes of the crpwd. Santiago was wearing a loose green T-shirt, along with a pair of white jeans. The outfit looked particularly good on him because his skin was fair. Therefore, he immediately captured the hearts of all the girls. Santiago was easily more handsome than Zorion and Flynt. Some of the girls were staring at the bracelet on Santiago's wrist. There was a sparkling sapphire and emerald gem on it. It was an incredibly amazing sight. Some girls were staring at the diamond earring on one of his ears. His outfit suited him perfectly. Especially with his perfect slicked-back hair. All the girls wanted a piece of him. Because of this, the girls were not in the mood to listen to wha
After Deanna was done with her lunch, she immediately went over to Jepherson's side and held his arm. However, Jepherson did not refuse her. Instead, he raised his hand to touch her head. Scarlette was so upset that she wanted to leave the scene. She was on the verge of a breakdown. She did not know whose side she was on, whether it was Jepherson's or Raeleigh's. She just knew that Raeleigh was as dumb as a rock. Raeleigh came out from the cafeteria. Scarlette was standing right next to her, talking her ears off. Raeleigh lowered her head, not paying much attention to what Scarlette was saying. She couldn't do anything about Jepherson and Deanna. To put it bluntly, Jepherson needed to be with someone of equal standing. As for a person like her, who was a nobody, she wasn't worthy of Jepherson's affections. "Raeleigh, do you want to come and hang out with us?" Deanna called her from behind. Raeleigh walked to a tree, and she then turned around to look at he
By the time Santiago woke up, it was already dark outside. He opened his eyes and remained on the bed for a while. He flipped over to find that Raeleigh was sleeping on Deanna's bed. Scarlette was a little worried, so she kept an eye on them from her bed. To Scarlette, Santiago was a devil, a devil who liked to order people around to do his bidding. Scarlette rarely got annoyed at people ever since she was young, but she was annoyed with Santiago. When she realized that Santigo was finally awake, she hurriedly said, "I've already eaten the popsicle that you asked me to buy. If you like, I can go out and get you some." Santiago looked out of the window and said, "There's no need for that. I'll bring you ladies out for dinner later." "It's already dark outside. Isn't it a little late for us to go out for dinner?" Scarlette was a little worried. Jepherson still had not called to check up on them, so she did not know what to do. But then again, Scarlette
