"Besides, I think what they're saying makes sense," Brett said.Darius' lips twitched. "Oh? You look more like you're enjoying the show, though." He shook his head. He thought this would anger or shame Brett, but he was wrong.Brett looked at him in surprise. "Man, you're smart! I didn't expect you to see right through me. I can't believe you're the one who knows me best. It looks like we'd be great friends!" He looked proud as he continued, "I always knew I was smart. I may not have the best grades, but that hasn't stopped me from befriending the top student in class!"Darius' lips twitched. This was his first time meeting someone like Brett. He hadn't said a word, yet Brett had already imagined a whole scenario on his own. He even looked pleased with himself.Darius shut his eyes and sighed. Then, he looked at Brett seriously. "Alright, it's time for you to keep quiet. If I'm guessing correctly, this is part of our first test as interns." He didn't say anything else after that.Bret

"Or rather, you've never been part of Dream Investment Group," the manager said.Darius watched this with crossed arms. He was curious to know what Dream Investment Group was up to. Why did it need its employees to stay silent? He glanced at his fellow interns to see the one in the lead glaring at him.Darius straightened up and approached the guy. "Why are you looking at me like that? Have I done anything to offend you? You seem very hostile."The guy's eyes widened. Then, he averted his gaze, looking like he was trying to cook up a lie. Darius wouldn't get mad at someone like him. He curled his lip, looking scornful. The guy was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice this.He gulped, then said, "I have something to discuss with you. No, I need your help with something!"Darius raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Let's hear it. I'll do whatever I can to help.""I know you can! Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you for help! Since you're officially an intern here, I'm sure you c

"You should know how humiliating it'd be if things were to reach that stage," Darius said.The rest of the interns didn't look too pleased by this, but they still turned and left. The one who'd caused the most havoc was the last.Before he did, he glared daggers at Darius. "I'll remember this, Darius. Pray that you don't show up on campus or before me. I won't let you off the hook if you do!"Darius raised an eyebrow mockingly. "I think I heard a dog bark, but I can't be sure." He turned to the manager.The manager nodded with a smile. "I think you're absolutely right." He turned to the intern. "I've wasted too much time on you.""Now, I'll give you to the count of three. If you're not in the elevator and on your way out by then, don't blame me for what happens next. You probably won't want to risk it." The manager bared his teeth.Silence descended upon the office once the intern was gone. The manager turned to Darius and Brett. "Now, please stand up and introduce yourselves to the d

Now, Brett's gaze traveled between Darius and the manager. His eyes were lit up at the prospect of there being gossip. Darius sensed this and held up a palm.He channeled his life force to it and pretended to scratch something. As he moved his hand, something heavy conked Brett on the head, making him fall to the floor. At the same time, Brett cried out in pain.Darius smiled and retracted his hand. "Sorry, I was just scratching an itch." Brett gave him a look of disbelief and pointed at him. His lips trembled, but he didn't say a word.Darius turned away from him. He was worried he'd burst into laughter. With Brett out of his sight, he calmed himself down.When Brett got to his feet, his expression shifted when he found everyone's attention on him. This wasn't what he wanted! He shut his eyes and tried hypnotizing himself. He told himself they couldn't see him if he couldn't see them.Darius knew what he was thinking. He chuckled and said, "You got what you wished for, didn't you? Ev

Darius smiled at Brett's reaction. At the same time, he was surprised. He thought most people would already know about him.He didn't expect his classmate to be completely oblivious to his identity. Now, no one was paying attention to Brett. They all watched Darius nervously, except the manager.The manager smiled helplessly. "I hate to say this, but you're probably not the best person to work here." He was quite tactful.Darius smiled politely but didn't say anything. On the other hand, Brett almost jumped with indignance. "What are you talking about? What's that supposed to mean?"He glared at the manager. "I get it now—you just don't want anyone to intern here, right? I'm not gonna say anything about the interns you chased away earlier because they're in the wrong. But what about Darius?""He hasn't stepped a toe out of line since entering this building." Brett started trembling with rage. "All he did was introduce himself! He didn't say anything else! Why are you firing him?"He g

Darius' gentle tone made Brett's eyes light up. "Darius! No, boss! You're a wonderful person! I've never met anyone better than you!" He looked at Darius sincerely.Darius put his hands behind his back without responding. Instead, he turned and approached the coordinating professor. From beginning to end, the professor had only spoken once.This made it hard for Darius to believe the professor was of good character. The professor looked up as Darius approached. He frowned and said, "You might be the president of West Atlantics Int'l, but you're still one of Kingston University's students."He sighed. "I wasn't gonna say anything, but you've served yourself on a silver platter. I don't think you'll be offended if I pointed out your mistakes, considering I'm one of Kingston University's professors."Darius raised an eyebrow and smiled politely. "That makes perfect sense, sir. Still, I'm sure you know West Atlantics Int'l is Dream Investment Group's biggest competitor. There are bound to

Professor Owen chuckled. "You're right—I do regret taking you on. I've regretted it for God knows how long. But as long as you're my student, I won't allow these negative things to affect you."Besides, I'm Ward's friend. I know all about you. I objected to you being sent there for your internship, you know. It's just that no one listened to me." Professor Owen sighed."I know things wouldn't have ended just like that, though. That's why the university and I agreed on a backup plan. If anything were to go wrong because of your identity, you'd be given another chance elsewhere."You'll have to use a fake name, though. And it's one that the university arranged." Professor Owen fell silent after that.Darius didn't say anything. Sunlight streamed in through the window and shone down on him. It made him seem peaceful and warm.Brett stared at him. He'd never seen Darius like this before. He couldn't help feeling nervous despite knowing Darius was in a good mood. And it wasn't like Darius

The chauffeur looked despondent. "Enough to ensure I won't get killed."Darius raised an eyebrow. "Do you see that guy over there? The one who's daydreaming. I want you to get out of the car and find the right time to drag him in here. Then, I want you two to get out of here. Don't bother about me and how I'm doing."The chauffeur gulped. He said in a small voice, "I report to Ms. Erin, Mr. Reid. She's the one who pays me."Darius gave him a surprised look. "Are you trying to say that you won't follow my instructions?"The chauffeur shook his head vigorously. "Of course not!" He smiled sheepishly. "It's just that your orders and Ms. Erin's are contradictory—"Before he could continue, someone swung a baseball bat at the window. It made the chauffeur jump and turn pale.Darius glanced outside calmly, then turned back to the chauffeur. "How is it contradictory?"The chauffeur shut his eyes. His voice was loud but shaky as he said, "Ms. Erin said to prioritize your safety above everythin

They stared at the man in disbelief. Darius leaned against the car with his arms crossed. Despite his shock, he looked calm.When the man started sobbing, Darius said, "I disagree with what you've said." He smiled. "We're all from Kingston University—one of this nation's best universities. The fact that you made it in means you're outstanding enough."Besides, you've made it through your education and are only left with your internship. You're about to graduate soon."Darius was only speaking the truth, but it made the man cry harder. Darius raised an eyebrow and sighed. "Now that that's settled, I think it's time for us to talk about compensation. You need to pay me back for the damage you've caused my car."The man's eyes widened in disbelief. "We're classmates, Darius! How can you expect me to compensate you?" He made it sound like Darius was committing a crime.Darius put his hands behind his back. "I thought you were salvageable. If your attitude had been a little better, I could'

Things wouldn't be so odd if Darius had only missed the chauffeur's movements. But he couldn't help thinking further since he didn't notice Brett either.Darius raised an eyebrow at this. Then, he frowned when he felt someone tugging his arm. No one had acted this way with him before, and he didn't like it. It soon stopped, though.He turned to see Brett looking at him with doe eyes. "Darius, you look fierce and have a bad reputation, but you're the kindest person I've ever met." His gaze was sincere.Darius breathed deeply. He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. Brett sensed this, and his gaze turned cautious. "Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I just wanted to thank you."Darius glanced at him, then turned to look out the window. "Do you know the guy who tried to smash the window?" As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he regretted it.Brett barely showed up for class. He wasn't even interested in the goings-on at the university. How could he possibly know that guy if he didn
