One hour later Cassidy was driving towards the location that Warren sent to her on W******p. She was surprised when she saw the area in which Warren was staying. It seems so underdeveloped. However, it makes sense given Warren's family's financial situation. She drove for a few more blocks until she arrived in front of a rather small house. Before she could send a message, she saw a familiar figure open the door and wave at her. She recognized Warren instantly and got out of the car to meet him.
Cassidy didn't have any romantic feelings for Warren, she just felt pity for him. It breaks her heart seeing her classmate living in such conditions. She felt that it would be best if Warren attended Gary's function so that he may at least interact with people of a higher social class. This could help him in building his own relationships and connections, which will be beneficial to him in the long run.
"I'm sorry I arrived a little bit earlier. I didn't have any breakfast this morning, so I thought we could grab a coffee or something on the way," Cassidy said with a polite voice.
Warren was rendered speechless at first when he saw the grandeur that Cassidy was covered in. His eyes scanned her from top to bottom and every inch of her being emitted a certain sense of nobility. 'She is really something special. How could such a person even bother with the likes of me."
Feeling his ogling eyes all over her body, Cassidy felt embarrassed and said "Earth to Warren. So what do you say?"
Recalling his inappropriate gesture, Warren answered apologetically "I would be honored." Why would he pass off the chance to have some quality time alone with such a gorgeous girl like Cassidy. He will cherish these little moments forever, since he will leave tomorrow. He had to make use of every second he could spend with Cassidy. This will be an interesting story he could share with Samuel.
At that moment Aunt Joanne and Uncle Geoffrey came out of the house. They were surprised to see the Chevrolet Corvette parked in front of their house. Warren told them that he would meet up with an old classmate today, but they didn't know his classmate was so wealthy. On top of that she was so beautiful that the two of them were left instantly speechless. Cassidy approached them and greeted politely. "Mr and Mrs Cole, I'm sorry for bothering you today."
The duo were even more surprised at the girl's down-to-earth demeanor. Although she looks rich, she doesn't have that arrogance about her like most rich people have.
"Not at all. We are honored to have you here," Uncle Geoffrey said.
"I'm sorry I didn't introduce you earlier. Aunt and Uncle, this is my classmate I mentioned earlier. Her name is Cassidy Smith," Warren said.
Smith? But isn't she the Second Young Miss of the Smith family? How does Warren know such a person? And why did she deem it worthy to personally pick him up?
When Cassidy saw the flustered and somewhat shocked look of the pair, she immediately knew what they thinking. "Don't worry Mr and Mrs Cole. I don't mean any harm. I just want to catch up with Warren since we haven't seen each other for such a long time."
Aunt Joanne and Uncle Geoffrey relaxed a bit more, but now they were even more respectful towards Cassidy. Who wouldn't be when she could squash them with just her pinky.
Not wanting to be in the awkward situation any longer, Cassidy said her goodbye and left with Warren. Uncle Geoffrey were still left dumbfounded when he saw the two of them driving away. He was also worried on the one hand. Since he saw what happened when his sister got involved with a rich man, he didn't want his nephew to go through the same ordeal.
Ten minutes later the Chevrolet stopped in front of a restaurant. It was one of the most expensive restaurants in the city, and although Warren was wearing his best suit on the day, he still felt underdressed. As they arrived at the entrance, they were immediately greeted by a beautiful waitress. From the way she was dressed, you could tell that the restaurant placed a high value on the appearance of their staff and also their guests.
The waitress was very polite to Cassidy when she realized who she was, but she didn't pay any note to Warren. If h came to The Light Dome dressed in such shabby clothing, his only goal was to desecrate the place. 'He is here only because Miss Smith brought him. He will never be able to afford such places on his own,' the waitress thought.
After signing in, she brought Cassidy and Warren to the third floor where their room was reserved. It was a private room and everything in there were off the highest quality. It was the first time that Warren ever saw such a splendor dining room. 'How could one afford this? Even if I was the richest man in the world, I would never spend so much only to have breakfast. Especially when a cup of coffee costs at least 70 dollars. This is preposterous!' Warren thought, not uttering a single word.
"We're we not supposed to only have a cup of coffee?" Warren asked flustered. He couldn't wrap his head around it. Why would Cassidy go out of her way only for me? It doesn't make any sense at all.
"I really didn't have any breakfast this morning, so I wanted to have some on the way," Cassidy laughed. "Also, I have invited my elder sister. She just bought a mansion through the Robertson's real estate company. The function that Gary is holding is because of her purchase," Cassidy said.
'A mansion for 2 million dollars? She must have a substantial amount of money if she could afford that,' Warren thought."So is she coming to join us then? It would be an honor to meet such a great person," Warren said embarrassedly as he laughed."Don't be so flustered, she is a rather down to earth person. She's already at the venue of the function, so she will only be able to join us in 1o minutes. In the meantime we could order so long."Warren didn't know what to think. He only wanted to spend some time alone with Cassidy. Although there were no romantic sparks flying in the air, it was the only opportunity he had to talk to someone as beautiful as her. If her sister were to arrive then the half hour they had left before the function began would be wasted. He would most probably be relegated to being the third wheel when Cassidy and her sister started talking.At that moment a Porsche Taycan arrived at the entrance of The Ligh
The three of them continued their meal in relative peace. When they were done, they went downstairs to pay the bill. When Warren saw how much the food cost that they just ate, he instantly became nauseous. 10 thousand dollars for breakfast is just insane! He became nervous because he could even afford a tenth of the meal. Why would Cassidy bring him here, if not to embarrass him? Warren didn't know what to do."I will pay this time, I remember distinctively it was you who paid the last time," Cassidy said nonchalantly."I don't think so. You paid the last time, so now it's my turn. In addition to that, I will also pay for his meal," Claire added as she pointed towards Warren.Warren was confused. Why would they argue about who should pay for the meal? Do they not see how outrageous the amount is? It is impossible for the breakfast to cost that much.After a few more exchanges between the two. They finally reached a consensus and Claire p
Warren and Cassidy found Gary's current behavior pleasant, since he wasn't so domineering and irritating as he was at first. Gary on the other hand knew exactly why he had to be in his best behavior now, since he had something special planned at the end of the event.The function proceeded without any mishaps and Warren enjoyed himself. It was at this moment when Gary signaled for everyone to quiet down. He had something important to say."Ladies and gentlemen. I would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my humble event. The reason for the particular festivities today, is to pay homage to Mrs Evans for her purchase on her new villa. We as Robertsons Equity Estate would like to thank her for her wonderful contribution towards the company. "There was a round of applause as everyone congratulated Claire. She was used to this kind of attention. It comes with the privileges of being wealthy. So she smiled nonchalantly a
Gary signaled to one of his security guards to come over. He whispered something in his ear and when the guard turned around to leave, he was smiling.'Just you wait, Warren Cole! We will see how long you can keep up with this charade. I will make you pay for embarrassing me like this,' Gary mumbled to himself. He had a devious smile on his face.Not too long after that, Warren left for the men's room. On his way there he bumped into one of the security guards who were on duty today. The guard glared at him, and after Warren apologized he left. He didn't want to start a fight at Gary's function, since it would embarrass Cassidy who went out of her way to invite him to attend the day.After he finished his business in the men's room, he returned to the main hall where the function was held. However, there was a commotion going on. One of the guests lost their necklace. Since it was only wealthy people attending the event, everyone knew just how
'Everything makes sense now,' Warren thought. 'The confidence in Gary's words and his relentless onslaught while saying that I stole the necklace. He was the one who planned it all.'Although he realized the truth now, it was too late for him. The security guards brought him out to the parking lot on Gary's command. They kicked him violently until blood were flowing out through his nose and mouth. The pain he felt was something he will never forget. Not only was he wrongfully accused, even Cassidy believed that he was a thief. Warren didn't feel the need to defend himself anymore. He accepted the beating, although it hurt him excruciatingly.At that moment Gary stood in front of him. He followed the guards when they brought Warren out. He made sure that no one else followed them since he wanted to make Warren suffer in peace."Not so smug now anymore, are we?" he joked as he also kicked Warren. "Did you really think that you could be with Cassi
As Warren was walked away from the beggar, he couldn't help thinking about what just happened. 'Why do I feel so energetic all of a sudden? Did the beggar do something to me? Was it a good thing or a bad thing? Oh well, there is no use dwelling on it now. All that matters is that my wounds are healed and I feel amazing,' Warren thought to himself. Although he was still covered in blood, Warren felt as if he could do anything. He felt rejuvenated from head to toe. He sprinted and to his surprise, he didn't feel any pain at all. His speed also increased substantially. 'This is an unexpected and welcome surprise,'Warren said as he rushed to find a cab since his house was a long way away. No cab stopped for him since he was still covered in blood. He didn't give up and stood in the middle of the road so that the next cab couldn't pass him by. He forcefully entered and instructed the driver to go to the designated address. Reluctantly, the driver follo
"Flight 187 departing for Flemond is ready for boarding!" a voice rang throughout the airport. Warren knew it was his flight and as he was about to go through customs the voice on the other end said "I will wait for you at the airport, Young Master. You have a safe flight." Warren was still speechless. He couldn't say a word, nor could he register that if what happened just now, was a dream or reality. It didn't make sense that he was now the owner of the most lucrative business and shopping district in all of Flemond. He boarded the plane and still stared at his phone. "500 000 000 dollars has been paid into your savings account!" Even when he saw the proof, he was still doubtful. 'I will visit the bank after landing in Flemond. That's the only way I would know if this was the real thing,' he thought to himself. After that the 4-hour trip back to Flemond felt like an eternity. Warren couldn't wait to get back. Wh
Oblivious of the schemes that Johnathan Parker had, Warren returned to his dorm room in a cab. He thought it would be best to leave the entourage so that they may stay at the Flemond Stargaze Hotel, one of the buildings located in the Flemond Galaxy District. Although he was also the owner of that hotel, Warren didn't see the need to suddenly move to such a grand amd luxurious place, since he wanted to be low-key. He didn't want to touch a cent of the money that Johnathan Parker gave to him, nor did he want to use his facilities. Warren felt that he would become dependent on the support that Johnathan lend him and then he might as well become his puppet.When he arrived at the entrance of the dorm, he was greeted by his good friend, Samuel. Warren was ecstatic when he saw the familiar face. It's a good thing that he didn't run into either Jennifer or Lloyd first, since it would add to his dismay."So you ran away so suddenly, did you manage to sort out everything back
