THE CONQUEST LIST CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
REGIONAL PLANSBUTTERFLY LODGE, 8:30PM."Hey ginger, what are you doing now?" Andrew asked from over the phone.Robin sat up in her bed, she had been busy daydreaming about she and Andrew and had been reminiscing the events of the entire day."I was just about to go to bed, what about you babe?" She asked while twirling a stand of her ginger red hair with a smile."I was just thinking about you and what I told you on the Ferris Wheel, I really meant it, you know?"That brought her mind to their conversation on the Ferris Wheel. They had just left the carousel which Robin had wanted to get on so badly and got on their last ride which was the Ferris Wheel.Somehow during the roller coaster ride, Andrew had almost passed out, but for Robin who held his hand throughout the ride and he finally found it enjoyable.She made him get on other rides which were dangerous and several feet high up, so he finally overcame his fear of heights.On the Ferris Wheel, they took pictures together and all

QUESTIONSANDREW'S APARTMENT, 7AM.Andrew got up with a dark mood after just one hour of sleep, he had managed to fall into. He was in a terrible mood after last night when he had that argument with Robin, he could barely sleep, knowing she was mad at him.After calling countless times and sending several texts, she had ignored him through it all. That had him deciding to get some breakfast before going over to her lodge to speak with her.When he got to the kitchen, he was surprised at the sight he witnessed.In front of the stove were, Joe and Jenna mixing ingredients for pancakes. Jenna had a slight frown of concentration on her face, as Joe explained something to her."What's going on here? This is really a weird sight, I never thought I'd live to see the day when Jenna steps into a kitchen to cook. Keep it up, so what are you guys making?"Jenna frowned before hissing. “Why would you say that? This is the new me, I want to learn how to make pancakes and Joe baby, is the best cook

FIGURING THINGS OUTTHE MEETING ROOM, THE BRAVES CLUB 3:15PM"Good afternoon everyone, sorry for being late. I had to prepare for my presentation," Robin said in a rush as she panted from running all the way to the meeting room."I hope the fifteen minutes of our time, you've wasted is worth it Miss Stevens," Andrew said with a serious look.Everyone around the meeting table fixed their eyes on Robin and Andrew, as they wondered why he was talking that way to her.Harry smirked, thinking they had a fight. It was no secret that they were dating so why was he sounding so cold to her, if not because they broke up, he thought."Of course Mr Andrew," Robin answered with a slight frown."Then please start already, we don't have all day okay? We don't usually give newbies big projects like the one you have been given. Whatever plan you have for The Regional Gaming Competition has to be awesome. Now proceed," he snapped.Opening up her laptop and connecting it to the large screen in the room,

SPERM DONOR?ANDREW'S APARTMENT, 5:30PM"What is your dad's favourite food?" Robin asked as she went through the bag of groceries they had shopped together for."I don't know," Andrew answered distractedly as he scrolled through the business news on his phone."What do you mean you know? He's your dad," Robin almost screamed with a shocked look on her face."Okay, just make something Italian, like pasta, lasagne and vegetable salad. Then some apple pie for dessert, that's what Mum used to make for him," he replied with a hurt look.As Robin noticed how he mentioned his Mum's name in past tense, she remembered her conversation with Margie that afternoon when she visited them."Margie there are some things I don't understand yet about Drew, why does he refer to his dad as his old man? Why doesn't he like talking about his mum? I've tried searching the internet for pictures of Christina Grey, but it's almost like she never existed, there are no pictures of her. Please tell me something M

COMFORTS AND LOVE DECLARATIONS.THE PARKING LOT, ANDREW'S APARTMENT.Andrew dragged her to the parking lot and opened the car door of his black sedan. Robin made no move wharsoever to argue with him as she understood he wasn't in the mood to talk.The drive was silent with Andrew clenching and unclenching his first on the steering wheel until they turned pale white at the knuckles and Robin just kept taking sneaky glances at him.After about twenty minutes of tension filled silence, he finally brought the car to a stop in front of a brown bungalow.Andrew walked round the car to open the car door for Robin, he still had a fierce look on his face and it was obvious he was extremely mad. Robin had never seen him that way, not even when he fought with John. She decided that she hated this side of him, it was very scary to her."What are we doing here Drew? Who's house is this?" She asked looking around the lonely building with no trace of the usual luxury facilities, Andrew enjoyed back

BREAK UP?ANDREW'S HOUSE, 9AM."Drew, what's up, I called you a several times and you didn't answer. Where have you been man?" Evans asked as Andrew stepped in and Miller also nodded in question at him."Silas Grey was here for dinner with Robin and I last night. As usual he got me mad, so I took Robin to cool off, we spent the night together," Andrew replied before taking a seat on one of the couches in the living room."What? Silas Grey, your father was here, why? Wait a minute, you still went ahead to sleep with Robin? Damn man, you're a scum bag," Evans said, surprised."Why is he a scum bag? Wasn't that the plan, I thought he actually forgot about it, but of course Andrew is such a great player. That's great man, how was it? That girl must have been really good, come on tell us, when will you dump her? Damn I wasn't expecting you to win the bet this time, that means you get to keep my new car. Give me a high five man, we have to celebrate this night!" Miller rambled."As much as

UNAVOIDABLE ATTRACTIONANDREW'S APARTMENT, 10PM."Robin told us that you guys broke up, what happened?" Stacey demanded in a frosty tone.Andrew explained everything that happened to them and pleaded, "Please just help me set up a meeting with Robin, she can't just leave me like that, we love each other. She said she never wants to see me again, but she works for me and the club needs her,""Why should we do that? You mean you're so cruel that you still want to succeed in your evil plans for her, despite everything?" Clara asked in a clipped tone."There's no plan anymore, just please help me out. Stacey for the sake of our friendship all this time, help me to meet her.""Okay, I will, but I'm only doing this because I know I've never seen you this way and you're probably not lying, but don't think that I trust you. If you try anything funny, I'll forget that you're my family's benefactor, got it?""Sure thank you so much Stace, I knew I could count on you. Now here's what I have in m

HIS STORYANDREW'S OFFICE, 3:30PM.Andrew stood in front of the glass windows with his hands in his pockets, his back to Robin. The memories being too painful for him, he didn't want Robin to see how hurt he was by all that had happened in the past."My parents, Silas and Christina Grey got married due to an unexpected pregnancy. Mum was only twenty three and Silas twenty six." Andrew paused and led her to take a seat with him on the couch. He drank some water, before clearing his throat as Robin turned to face him.Andrew continued, "When they first met, Silas had been a womaniser and a party animal. My grandparents had tried all they could to get him to settle down with a girl of the same upbringing and social status as him, but to no avail. He met mum at the birthday party of a friend of his and was immediately charmed by her. She was working as a waitress in the restaurant, where the party was being held. They had a one night stand and lost contact after that day. Fate brought the

ONCE AGAINTWO YEARS LATER...ACHIEVERS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, 2 PMROBIN'S POVPaying the designated driver, I got out of the car with my handbag and waited for him to get the rest of my luggage from the car trunk.After ensuring that all my things were out, I thanked him before he drove off.Looking at the environment around me, I smiled as I took in the beautiful decorations of AUT. The beauty of this college seemed to have augmented since the last time I was here two years ago.After admiring the college entrance for about two full minutes, I took out my phone to call Stacey. She and I were still in touch even though I was away in London for the past two years.The previous week when I informed her of the fact that I was done with the graphic designing training that Uncle Joe had enrolled me for and that I was gonna be coming back to AUT, she had screamed in unconcealed excitement and promised to pick me up at the school gate when I arrived.When she had said that, I had asked

RINGS AND KNIVESTHE BEEHIVE ARENA, 12 NOON."Yes, you heard me correctly guys, Robin is more qualified than anyone else to play for us in virtual football. I got to know about her amazing skills on the night of our app launch party. She and I played together and she almost beat me, in fact, we eventually settled at equal scores. I think she was going easy on me that night. You know me, I'm not the type to admit that anyone else is better than me, so it takes a lot of courage for me to give Robin this role. If there's anyone who isn't in support of this, please indicate," Andrew said seriously."Jack has told me about her amazing skills, but I never thought she could beat you at your best sport, Drew. If you think she's good, then she must be." Miller teased while laughing."Shut up Mill," Joe playfully hit Miller's shoulder while laughing."Team leaders from The Gators, The Believe Team and Team Ice, please bring your players to the tournament corner. The tournament for third place w

ROBIN?"And 1. Programmers, please proceed. You have thirty-five minutes to finish all fifty questions. Remember to use at least forty seconds for each question," Alan announced.The Bravers as well as other teams quickly gathered around three computers and started working on the first ten questions.Andrew sat in front of the system for problem-solving while the other Bravers sat behind the two other systems for offence and defence."It seems like Andrew Grey's team are more relaxed this year and their speed this time is also very good," Linda, one of the commentators remarked."Yes, you're right Linda. Oh, wait, it seems like Team Ice is trying to launch an attack on The Braves, but of cause they are quick enough to defend it. It seems like The Bravers came in very prepared!" Alex, the other commentator replied.Robin watched Andrew from where she and the other Bravers sat and never before had she felt so tensed. She watched the frown of concentration on Andrew's face as he solved t

COMPETITIVE PROGRAMMINGTHE BEEHIVE ARENA, 11 PM"Why do I feel like Max is gonna retaliate violently?" Robin asked fearfully.The look Andrew gave her had her shivering on the inside."He can't do anything, don't worry about him," Andrew replied, holding her hand."Okay ladies and gentlemen, with that settled, I believe we can all continue with the competition. Bravers, you're free to go back to your seats, thank you. We've wasted enough time indeed," Vanessa said after The Storm Team alongside Harry was led out of the arena."Now that The Storm Team is out of the competition, we have only nine teams left. Jeffery Michaels will give us a report on the top leaders of the first round. This round has a total of thirty points and the next one has a total of forty points. Any team that fails to make up to fifty points from the first two rounds added together, would not qualify for the final round. Are you guys excited to find out which team has won this popularity round?" Alan asked."Yes

DISQUALIFIEDTHE BRAVES WAITING ROOM, 10:40 AM"You guys can't let this happen to me. Andrew, you can't let them take me away. I've been your friend for such a long time, you can't do this to me!" Harry shouted as the security guards took him by the arms and dragged him away."What do you think they're gonna do to him?" Robin asked I'm fear."It's definitely gonna be what he deserves," Roberto replied.★★★★★THE BEEHIVE ARENAMax Reed was also dragged up to the stage for questioning and Camila couldn't sit put while her nephew was being maltreated, so she stood up and asked, "Who do you think you're dragging that way? Max is my nephew and I have the feeling that he has been set up by someone. I'm sure that Robin Stevens must have set Max up, she was the one who sold those ideas to him. There must be a mix up somewhere!""Miss Reed I advise you to have your seat and stop giving those remarks. We all just saw the video where your nephew and another student from AUT was talking about how

DAY 1 ONCE AGAINTHE BRAVES WAITING ROOM, 10:00 AMRobin stepped back from Harry and said, "Let's all go out now. It's 10:00 AM already."Why didn't I get a hug?" Harry frowned."That's because you don't deserve it," Robin replied tartly."Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you once again to The Regional Gaming Competition. As you all know, the competition was scheduled for last week, but due to some misunderstandings, it had to be postponed to this week. Who is excited?" Alan's voice came booming from all the speakers in the arena."I am!" The fans replied, excitedly."The competition has started, can you please keep quiet?" Robin frowned and then all The Bravers focused their attention on the large LED TV in the room, which showed what was happening on stage.★★★★★★THE BEEHIVE ARENA, 10:02 AMThe fans showed their excitement when the camera focused on their corner as they sprayed confetti and raised thundersticks to cheer their preferred teams on. Some even raised banners with the na

PAPER BAGS AND GUMMY BEARSTHE BEEHIVE ARENA, 9:30 AM"Babe, check out who's here to cheer us on!" Andrew said with a smile when Robin opened the door of the room reserved for her in the arena.The competition was to begin in thirty minutes time and all gamers had been given rooms to rest and practice in.She had been working on her increasing the speed of her programming skills. The previous day after the meeting, Harry left, saying he could practice well enough on his own.That left Andrew ensuring that all The Bravers played virtual football matches against one another in pairs. They also made some amendments to Campus Silence, Love Run and SAFE.Robin was indeed tired due to the constant training sessions they all went through all night long and now even with bags under her eyes, she was still very much excited to compete."Who is it?" She asked while rubbing her eyes tiredly after letting Andrew in.Jack then walked into the room with a huge smile and said in a rush, "Hi my cutes

REVELATIONSANDREW'S APARTMENT, 12:30 PM"What do you think? Of course, you have to apologize to her. I told you she was innocent, but you just won't listen," Stanley said.Looking down at her phone with a smile, Robin read the text message Andrew sent to her.MESSAGE DETAILS: Get everyone seated, we're in the parking lot now. Harry shouldn't suspect anything when we walk into the house."Okay, Riley, Gabe, Sophie and Brie, you all have to go downstairs. Andrew and Harry will be here any minute from now. Everyone, please be quiet, okay?" Robin told them all.After they had all relaxed in their seats and pretended like they were discussing other club related matters, Andrew and Harry walked into the room.Fiddling with his glasses, Harry said, "Sorry that I'm late guys. So what system do I use? I think we need to work on our speed first. I noticed most of us are quite slow in comparison with the other teams."Taking a seat in the swivel chair with President written on it, Andrew replie

DEALSANDREW'S APARTMENT, 12PMRobin spent the rest of the morning after church, preparing light snacks and refreshments for The Bravers alongside Sophie and Gabrielle.The rest of Andrew's family had gone home to rest so that they could make it early to The Beehive Arena, the next day for the competition."You see how good they turned out? I told you I make the best hors d'oeuvres in New York City," Gabrielle bragged."Oh please Brie, my cupcakes taste much better than your ridiculous h'ors d'oeuvres which I just can't stop eating," Robin retorted before sneaking another samosa into her mouth."Why do you keep eating them then?" Gabrielle laughed.Beating Robin's hand, Sophie said, "You think her hors d'oeuvres are ridiculous, but you keep eating them. At this rate, there'd be nothing left for us to serve the club members.""Ouch that hurt, Soph. You're just jealous because you haven't been away to eat any of hers yet. I love your punch and cocktails though, the taste is very differe
