Darryl smiled as he thought, ‘You slapped me twice and expected me to help you out?’ He pretended to let out a sigh while he hinted slyly, “Miss Katherine, I can help you for sure. But, my body is aching from all the running—if only there were someone around to give me a massage.”Katherine blushed at his words. How dare he hinted at her to massage him! She was his teacher for crying out loud! It was inexplicably inappropriate for her to give him a massage.“It’s fine. I still have things to attend to, so I’ll make a move.” Seeing no response from Katherine, Darryl stood up and left.“Darryl, you…” Katherine stuttered in panic.She had done her research by reading ancient manuals—there was no way whatsoever to restore her ranking. If Darryl did not help her, she would be an ordinary human for the rest of her life!Katherine bit her lip in despair. She approached Darryl cautiously and placed her hands on his shoulders, pressing into them gently.“Darryl, is this comfortable for
Katherine stared at the make-shift elixir cauldron while massaging Darryl.All she needed was the pill to be ready, then she would gain back her ranks! Before that, she must make him as happy as possible.Darryl smiled. He could ogle at such a gorgeous woman while he concocted the elixir—he was elated.Suddenly, he asked casually, “Miss Katherine, let me ask you something.”“What is it?”“Where is the principal’s office? I’ve been at Hexad’s for quite some time now, but I’ve not seen it.”Darryl still had his mission to steal the manuals, and a few of them were with the principal. He had checked the school’s office many times, yet he could not locate it.“We don’t have a principal’s office,” Katherine chuckled.What? The principal’s office did not exist? Darryl was stunned.Katherine nodded. “Graham Potter might be the principal, but he rarely appears in school. He’s a simple man, so he decided not to have an office.”Darryl was bewildered. Was there really no principal’s off
‘NO!’ Darryl screamed internally as his face collapsed. This girl was his kryptonite. ‘Why is she here?!’This girl was Queenie Garfield, a distant cousin of Lily. She visited her every year. Queenie was a cute and extremely kind girl. She never once looked down on Darryl and was polite towards him.‘Queenie Garfield.’ Those two words were a huge trigger for Darryl. She was his nightmare. Whenever Queenie visited, she demanded that Darryl made her whatever she wished to eat. If not, she would throw a tantrum.Darryl could not do anything about it.Furthermore, this cousin of hers was quite naughty. There were a few times where she put the blame on Darryl for things that she broke. Darryl was helpless.“Queenie, why are you here?” Lily was surprised yet delighted. She walked toward Queenie with a huge smile.“Lily, Darryl, you guys are back!” Queenie jumped from the sofa and hugged Lily. “Lily, you’ve gotten even more beautiful,” she complimented.She hugged Lily’s waist and co
A huge stage was set up in the middle of the mall. Three scantily clad ladies were performing on stage, they were ETM.Around the stage, barriers were set up to prevent the fans from rushing through. The fans were screaming passionately.This performance was almost like a full-sized concert. Darryl was nonchalant toward celebrities ever since he became the president of the Platinum Corporation. Celebrities were also human, there was nothing special about them.Just then, Queenie and Lily managed to squeeze through to the front of the stage.“ETM!” Queenie screamed excitedly, she waved her hands. The three members were performing on stage, they did not bother to acknowledge Queenie.This group was famous. They were long numb to the cries and cheers of the fans.Suddenly, Lily and Queenie were shoved to the front and they ended up breaking the barrier. A man in a suit walked over with two bodyguards, he yelled, “What are you doing? Didn’t you see the barrier? Don’t you have any
Whenever she cried, Darryl’s heart broke. When he finished his statement, a roar of laughter exploded. Even Vivian Clark jeered, “How interesting, I just said we don’t have the time for autographs, don’t you understand? I don’t care if it were you, or your parents that asked for the autograph. We will not sign anything.”Darryl took a deep breath. He held back his anger and said, “I’m Pla-”“I don’t care who you are. Please back off, you’re in our way,” Vivian said impatiently. She just finished the first act and was exhausted. Someone from the crowd suddenly exclaimed, “Isn’t that Lyndon's live-in son-in-law?”“Why would a loser like him think that he can get their autographs?” The jeers and taunts were awful. Lily could not bear it any longer, she tugged at Darryl and said, “Hubby, let’s go.”They were here to have fun today, who knew that asking for an autograph would turn out so badly? Queenie rebutted, she said loudly, “So what if he’s a live-in son-in-law, he’s not re
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get you the autographs.” Darryl waved in dismissal.Vivian roared in laughter, she said, “Wow, you can boast! Since you want the autograph so much if you bow to me, I’ll sign it for your sister.”How are they so rude? Darryl’s face darkened. He took his phone out and dialed.In three seconds the call was picked up. “President, can I help you with anything?” Pearl was on the other end. Darryl took a deep breath, he asked, “ETM is performing in Donghai City, which company are they under?”Sensing his tone, Pearl got a little nervous. She said softly, “President, ETM recently made a film called The Three Golden Flowers. They were here to promote this movie. However, we’ve invested in half of the shares in this movie, so their performance here was arranged by us.”ETM was by the Platinum Corporation? Darryl snickered, “Those three refused to sign an autograph for Lily’s cousin. So I do not want to see the three of them anymore. You know what to do r
Pearl mentioned that the reason for canceling them is because the president of Platinum Corporation wanted their autographs, but they were not willing to.Vivian was confused, she looked at Darryl and said on the phone, “President Lee, I did not offend anybody! There was just a man that caused trouble here, he not only broke through the barrier, he asked for autographs too…”“You bloody apologize to him immediately! Now!” Lame Lee yelled like a lunatic. He was extremely on edge. “Do you know who that man is? He is Darryl Darby! The president of the Platinum Corporation! Darryl Darby is our main sponsor! You have a movie to act in because of him!”“What?” Vivian trembled, she said, “You must be mistaken, he’s wearing cheap clothes.”“Cheap clothes? The money he spends per day, you can’t even earn in a year!” Lame Lee yelled. “You do exactly as he says! If President Darby wants autographs, you give it to him! If he wants to sleep with you, you say yes! Bloody f*ck, if he does not for
Darryl snickered, “You’re sorry? You did not want to give her your autograph wasn’t it?”Vivian quickly replied, “We’ll sign it immediately.” She turned around and got a sharpie from one of the staff. However, Darryl waved in dismissal, he said, “It’s too late.”Vivian was stunned. She quivered with fear. Darryl continued flatly, he pointed to the stage and said, “I want the three of you, to sign on the stage floor. It has to fill the entire stage and I’ll come to check on it tomorrow. If not, I leave it to you to think of the consequences.”What? The entire stage? Vivian looked reluctant. The stage was almost as huge as a basketball court. How long would it take them to finish it? “What? You’re not willing to?” Darryl smiled sarcastically.“No! No! We’ll do it.” Vivian and the others each took a sharpie and started signing on the stage floor.The entire crowd was silent. Those that jeered previously could not utter a single word.Darryl smiled, turned, and left. Lily and
