Seeing the cold expression across his face, Morra became timid instantly and she carefully removed her hands that were holding his arm. The guy insulted her indirectly by brushing off the part of his arm that she held before as if she had made his suit dirty by her touch. Moments later, the principal was done with his speech and another teacher, Miss Miranda came forward to the stage to give Mr Houstan the result of the voting for Prom King and Prom Queen. He chuckled as he saw the result because the winners were exactly what he had expected. "I'm sure everyone must be excited to know the results," Mr Houstan remarked on the microphone and everyone instantly made a cheering sound to respond to him. "It seems like it was obvious enough who would win Prom King tonight," he added and the crowd cheered even more especially the girls. And slowly almost everyone had their eyes glanced at Niel because he was the top candidate for that title. Truthfully, no boys would stand a chance to win
"Did I scare you?" She joshed. He instantly chuckled and nodded lightly. His gaze went down to look at her left hand and he took out the corsage from its box. Then, he deliberately threw the box behind him and it accidentally hit someone's head. "Ouch!" A guy shrieked, getting hit by the box and everyone let out a laugh including Niel and Haylee. "Sorry! I didn't mean it. I just lost my mind for a while just now," Niel joked while turning his head towards the shrieking boy. "You're so beautiful..." he then whispered as he turned his head to look at Haylee again. He grabbed her left hand gently and tied the corsage around her wrist and he led her to the centre of the hall to have the first dance. "Look how pathetic you are, only able to get a partner minutes ago. I thought there were supposed to be girls lining up to dance with you," Haylee satirized him as they both took their dancing position. The guy giggled and the smile on his face was seen by all the girls in the hall, makin
"Well... no one can deny it that Niel really treated Haylee well," Melly remarked having her eyes seeing the couple left."Apart from him dating and flirting with the other girls, of course... Other than that, he did really treat her like a princess. I can understand why Haylee stayed and put up with his behaviour," Helen added."Let's just wish them well. I hope he figures out what he really wants. It's pitiful enough for Haylee to wait that long for him to commit with her...""I hope so..."Outside the school hall, Niel opened the passenger door beside the driver's seat of his black Lamborghini Aventador."Get in!" He shoved Haylee in there and pretended like he was trying to kidnap her. The girl giggled at his action and she started laughing when Niel had trouble getting the whole skirt of her dress into the car."Why are you wearing this dress?" He started to complain while laughing as well. "You're the one who chose it," Haylee retorted playfully."It didn't look this big when I
"What's there to think about? I want you to stick by my side forever. We're taking the same course so later after we both graduate, you can work at my company as my secretary and my personal assistant," he seemed to have it all figured out inside his brain."Niel, you already had a secretary. His name was Mark..." Haylee whispered to him. Her mind was thinking that he might need to fire Mark if he wanted her to be his secretary or personal assistant. 'Poor Mark,' she thought."Well... it's not going to hurt to have two," he replied with a chuckle."But still... there's going to be hundreds or even almost thousands of students applying for the business course at Kingston University. I don't think we would be able to have it like in high school. We're probably going to be in different classes. In fact, I'm not even confident being able to enter there. They set the bar so high only the best students in the country got in there."The guy chuckled again as if her concerns were not a proble
"Who's that? Is that grandma?" Haylee whispered to Niel's ear slowly."You bet. Of course, this is grandma. Who else would be a grandma in this house? Certainly not you. You look absolutely seventeen," Madam Rosella replied to Haylee in a witty way while winking at her.She approached Haylee and the girl stood still motionlessly, did not even dare to make a single sound. She observed her from top to bottom and then she turned to Niel, shooting him a playful glare."So, when can I expect some great-grandchildren?" Madam Rosella asked and that made Ben who was standing by the car almost burst into laughter. He covered his mouth quickly when Niel glared at him."Grandma, you're going to scare her," Niel replied languidly."Oh, come on. I need a little one to hold before I die. The last time I held a baby was like seventeen years ago," Madam Rosella still went on with her sense of humour.The baby she referred to from seventeen years ago was actually Niel. She only had one child, William
"Some people just didn't know their place, honey," Madam Rosella responded shortly. She was quite aware of her family's internal issues. She had convinced her late husband, Frederick to put all his inheritance to Niel's name before he died. Because she knew she was not carrying Anderson's blood. Having her husband give his wealth to her would eventually going to cause issues with Franklin. Franklin was her husband's younger brother. Compared to her and Frederick who only had one child, Franklin had three children. With that, he came to believe that his kids and his grandchildren deserved to get Frederick's inheritance more compared to Madam Rosella simply because they carried the Anderson's blood. So she made her decision and discussed that matter with her husband. Frederick had resented his son, William so much, so they were left with only one option, Niel. They gave everything to him and the only term Frederick gave to Niel in return for gaining his wealth was to take care of Mad
'Healer? I was just being used?' Haylee wondered in shock. "Well, what do you think? Did Niel been more stable after Haylee lived with him? Or was it otherwise?" The old lady asked Ben's opinion instead. "At first, he seemed more stable of course. After all, he had been having his eyes on this girl since he was fifteen. So when he brought her in, he was very anticipated and happy with it. He looked more motivated and more oriented with his school and his jobs at the company. I also sensed that he had been very strong and more ambitious than ever. But..." "There a but?" Madam Rosella grumbled. "As I mentioned before, they had some issues regarding their relationship. While it was good for Master to have Miss Johnson around, it wasn't the same case for Miss Johnson though. If I may say..." Ben was hesitant to share his thoughts but Madam Rosella beckoned him to just went on with it. "Their relationship looked pretty toxic to me. And it weighed more on Miss Johnson's side. She seeme
The movie was almost over so they just waited until it ended. They did not talk at all during that time. When they came out of the mini theatre, it was almost midnight. The two walked down the hallway towards the entrance hall and they saw Madam Rosella standing there by the round marble table in the middle of the hall. There was a tray on the table with a few cups of tea."Do you guys enjoy the movie?" The old lady asked kindly and beckoned them to come closer to her."I thought you were asleep already," Niel said, not answering the question."Well... got to make sure my kids get a good sleep first. So, I prepared some chamomile tea for both of you," Madam Rosella replied. She took one cup and gave it to Haylee."Chamomile tea is good to reduce stress and it will help you sleep well at night. Drink it up before going to sleep. And I also had told my servant to prepare some drinking water in your room. Don't wander alone at night, it's dangerous," the old lady said to Haylee."Don't s
