“Did you come to check on someone at this college?,” Ella asked when she saw that he isn't responding. He nodded without saying anything. How could he possibly tell her that she is the one he was searching for?

“Then let's go. Tell me his/her name and I'll direct you to the right department,” she offered and Mike smiled awkwardly.

Then he replied,“Don't bother yourself. I have seen her already.” He looked at Ella's facial expression as soon as he said the last statement.

He actually wanted to say,' I have seen him' but her came out instead of him. Ella simply beamed with a smile and nodded. Mike frowned and thought why is she smiling? Isn't she supposed to act jealous like girls always do in movies.

“I'm sorry but I can't stay for too long or else Jack will get worried,” Ella told him and he nodded. He waved at her as she left and she waved back with a smile. He smiled and kept on saying,“Is she really gonna be mine?”

He brought out his phone to check the calendar. Just to count how many days are left for a month. He turned around and left while secretly hoping she wouldn't tell Jack about their meeting today.

That pesky bastard wants to keep his candy away from him. Just few more days.

“What is going on Mr Walker? My dad said he already gave instructions for the employment of this young man so why hasn't anything been done yet?,” Cassie asked as she checked the files in her hands.

She wasn't able to notice the beads of sweat on the man's forehead. Mr Walker gulped and nodded before replying,“Yes ma, we sent him a mail two weeks ago. We don't know why there hasn't been any response yet.”

“Hmm... A mail? Is it an online mail?,” Cassie asked thinking that the mail probably didn't reach him cause all these apps have been acting weirdly.

“Yes ma'am,” Mr Walker answered happy to see that she is convinced by his lie. He secretly prayed that she doesn't find out about his plan or he will lost this job for good all because of little extra cash.

“Then send another mail. This time hardcopy. Let the mail man deliver it,” Cassie suggested and Mr Walker looked at her a little bit angry.

But he hid his angry face with a smile and reminded her,“Ma, it will take alot of time for the mail to reach there.”

“At least, it will reach there. Send the mail and secure the job for him. Don't you dare give it to someone else or I'll personally make sure you get sacked,” Cassie warned him and he nodded in response again.

She smiled and walked out. As soon as he confirmed she was gone, he brought out his phone and called someone,“Hello, we have a problem.”

“What is it? Is it about the job?,” the voice came through the phone.

“Yes sir it is, I'm afraid you won't be able to give it to Jones cause little miss has asked me to secure the job for this unknown man. I mustn't give the job to someone else,” Mr Walker told him trying to speak as softly as possible.

The man over the phone laughed and said,“Don't worry. Don't take her words to heart. It's whatever the chairman really says that matters. If the young man doesn't show up, I'll simply complain to the chairman and I know he hates tardiness. He will probably employ someone else.”

Mr Walker frowned and remarked,“Bit little miss asked me to send another mail to him. This time, hardcopy. Thank God she didn't find out about what I did to the previous one.”

“Send it. When the mail probably gets there, it would have been too late. I know how slow mail systems are in delivering mails,” the man told him then laughed again before cutting the call.

Mr Walker immediately began to prepare the mail.

“That girl is really a bitch.”

“I can't believe she tried to seduce the young master yesterday.”

“She even got into the bed naked and started begging that he should f**k her.”

“She has quite an innocent face. Who could have thought she had such ill intentions?”

The maids chattered endlessly as they performed their daily duties in the mansion. This is the handiwork of Irene. She asked her friends to spread false rumours among the maids that Jane tried to seduce Alan and many more.

Since the maids weren't present at the scene last night, they wouldn't know what really happened. Alan's face gradually turned cold as he heard what the maids are saying.

Who are they talking about? Who dared to sneak into his bed? How dare she try to seduce him? He lingered around hoping he would hear more information but nothing useful was said.

He wondered if that was why he woke up with a slightly swollen face this morning and a horrible headache. Did he get into a fight with the b***h last night?

He really wants to know who the b***h is? How dare she stoop so low? He turned around to leave without being seen by the maids. As soon as he walked into the hallway, he saw Jane coming towards his direction.

But immediately she raised her head and saw him. She turned around and ran back to wherever she was coming from. Alan was stunned as he wondered why she acted that way.

Well he didn't let it bother him. He just walked to his mother's room. “Hey mom, I'm here,” Alan said as he tried to plant a kiss on her cheeks as usual.

Madam Jennie immediately stopped him. Before he could say anything, she said,“I'm so disappointed in you.”

“Mom, what's wrong?,” he asked puzzled. Madam Jennie didn't reply him. She only checked his cheeks and looked disappointed that it is not as swollen as she wants it to be.

“I can see that slap didn't leave any impact on your face. I should have slapped you much more harder,” she told him and Alan stroked his cheeks looking stunned.

So the ache he felt when he woke wasn't mainly from the hangover. It was also from a slap. But why? Why did she slap him? He only remember visiting the most popular club in town to see the owner of the club, Mike.
