“Ah!!”
“Oww”
“Sorry” Layla apologized timidly to the second ‘ghost’ she accidentally punched after entering the building. “It-it was a reflex action.” She added hoping to lessen the ghost’s resentment. No one knew whether her action was really an accident or a deliberate act.
Ryan snorted at the scene unfolding in front of him. His actions made others recall the words he uttered before entering the building. Now they realized how foolish they were to think that he was scared.
“You will have to walk in the middle. And that's final.” He added before she could utter any word of protest. He did not want to give more workers a chance to gossip about a certain crazy customer they got.
“You seem to know vice-prez very well, pre
Haha. Don't mind Layla. The new topper Zou Haoran has increased the pressure of studies on her. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Thank you ^_^
“It’s been many days honestly I was waiting for some reaction or an ambush, given how much I angered him.” stirring the fork in noodles Layla exposed the doubt in her heart, “Do you think it was normal that he didn’t come to find me?” She really thought that he would come to find her and seek trouble. She clearly read it on his face. That is why Layla was so confused. “You should watch fewer dramas,” Ryan commented in a monotonous tone as he maintained his deadpanned face. Although he said so but he was also worried about Layla crossing paths with him accidentally or intentionally. For the past few days, he was paying special attention to this matter. He even went as far as hacking some cameras of nearby public places but he didn’t find anything. And he didn’t know whether it was a good thing or bad. Layla rolled her eyes and continued eating while maintaining silence. She would never be able to guess that that man was sent to the police that very evening by Opal’s people. He was a r
Reaching near the door Opal noticed something unusual. "Hmm, why it's dark?" She questioned herself as she slowly pushed the door.“Happy Birthday!!” Both the girls shouted in unison as one of them also pressed the switch. They had a big grin on their faces as they took note of every expression Opal made in seconds. They could guess that Opal was very much pleased by the surprise they had prepared for her and it could be considered the first step to success.Opal’s eyes widened in surprise. She checked the time and it was already 12:01 am. ‘It’s my birthday.’ She reminded herself as her eyes sparkled with joy and a pure smile bloomed on her face.At first, her family also used to wish her at midnight but gradually things changed as her sister started to get busy with work and her parents started to go to bed early with aging. Though her family would always make her day awesome enough that could make others jealous but she missed this feeling. She missed those midnight birthday wishes.
‘What a beautiful girl.’ Jealousy surged inside them. Seeing such a breathtaking face they wanted nothing more than to ruin it. But they couldn’t let their emotion run wild, not in front of Zou Haoran, their ultimate target. Maintaining their smiles, they shifted their attention from Zou Haoran to Layla. “Hi, my name is Ava.” “Hi, I’m Mia.” “Layla.” A curt reply came out of her mouth making them feel that she was putting on airs. But, the truth was Layla wasn’t willing to be a part of their act. Thus there was no reason for her to play accordingly. ‘Too too arrogant,’ they complained inwardly. Hearing Layla’s cold tone that was devoid of any emotion turned their mood somewhat sour but they could not give up so easily especially when they had seen from the far how friendly Zou Haoran was with this rude girl. Therefore, left with no option they had to please her as this guy blatantly refused to corporate with them. “Nice to meet you, Layla.” They replied with enthusiasm as if they
In a well-furnished office, three teenagers were standing silently in front of a middle-aged man who was sitting on the chair with his hands resting on the table. On the table, a nameplate was placed clearly telling his name and designation. “Dr. Edward Du The principal” was written on it. “Your respective classes have been assigned. You can join the class by tomorrow. For now, I will arrange someone to show you all, around the school.” Dr. Du said to them. They were the newly transferred students. And, they would be joining the 11th Grade in the current month, July. He picked the handset of the telephone and pressed some buttons on the dial pad. *ring* *ring* After two rings, the call was picked and a melodious voice of a girl was heard from the other end. “Hello.” “Come to the principal’s office right now.” *toot* He cut the call as soon as its purpose was served. “Huh!? What was that!?” The girl was bewildere
"Umm... Lani, who is she?" Opal asked. "Huh!... you mean the girl in sports uniform?" Lani asked after gaining her senses. Opal nodded in response. Well, it wasn't hard to guess who can attract others' attention in an odd way. "Well, she is Layla Chen. The vice-president of the student council." 'Hmm, vice-president. She is quite a... unique vice-president.' More or less, those three had the same kind of thought regarding her. If Lani would have been able to listen their thought, she would also nod her head heavily in agreement. All of them with having something on their minds again started paying attention to the ongoing incident. This time, a different voice was heard. "This has nothing to do with you. It's between me and my sister." The boy on the tree snarled. He was furious and frustrated that his plan was foiled even before he could execute them properly. But right now in front of him was the dead-end of any scheme he cou
"Where are you coming from?" a boy asked Layla who was now dressed in the familiar white shirt and navy blue skirt, and the badge that reminds others of her position in the student council. He looked at her with his eyes hidden behind the silver specs he always wears. Those specs always showcase his features as a serious and smart guy which he is actually. Given his mature expression and handsome face, he could be the subject of the school romance fantasies of many girls. He was sitting in the student council room. His presence there was a clear indication that he is also a member of the council. On top of that, his shining badge was enough to let others know that "he is the president". "It was sports class plus sir called me. You also have the same schedule." She replied knowing where this conversation would head. After all, he's not the type who asks unnecessary questions. But, one thing she couldn't believe is that Lani informed him too quickly. "Y
"Don't play with your phone" Ryan reminded her. Her lips twitched. She was well aware of the rule. Although they are allowed to bring their mobile phones to school but are not allowed to use them openly. "By the way, ask Lani to print the list of events with their respective dates." "She's my secretary, not yours." 'What's wrong with this guy. Does he really need to flaunt that my best friend is his exclusive secretary? If it weren't him then she would be my EXCLUSIVE secretary.' "We need that list and you know this too" Anyway she didn't express her inner thoughts and decided to focus on the issue. After all, she can't change the fact that her and Lani's plan has been failed thanks to Ryan. "You should look for a secretary. You can't go too long like this. Just how seniors spared you?" He was wondering till this day just why no one bothered her to recruit another person to share her burden. "Yeah! yeah! I need to find a suitab
Fortunately, Layla was able to avoid the slap launched at her. "With all due respect Mrs. Park, I agree that it was my fault that he was hurt but--" Before she could finish her sentence, she was cut off in the middle. "Trying to give excuses when you have already admitted that you pushed my son." Mrs. Park was fuming. She was blinded by rage, if not because of Mr. Park who holding her back, she would have tried to hurt Layla again. "I didn't push him. And, I hope you won't falsely accuse me of a crime, I haven't committed." Layla decided to make herself clear hurriedly before Mrs. Park could accuse her again. "Mr. and Mrs. Park we can talk smoothly as you can see student Layla claimed that she didn't push him, maybe there is a misunderstanding somewhere. I don't think there is any need to act like this especially in front of a patient." Dr. Du tried to soothe the situation. He was trying to solve it in the best way without upsetting any of the
