After some time, Josh pulled up to his grandfather's estate in a black Rolls Royce phantom. Letting out a sigh as he glanced outside the vehicle at the mansion in front of him, Josh couldn't help feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension. The grand estate was lit up with elegant lights, casting a warm glow over the carefully maintained lawns and impressive architecture. He looked towards the driveway, seeing that it was lined with luxury cars. It just went to show that the people who had attended the event weren't just regular people, but wealthy people with status.

Josh ignored the comments being thrown at him, although he could hear them perfectly fine he chose not to be offended. Also he understood why everyone would be saying what they were saying about him. After all, everything was clear to the security guards and the guest's. Without any form of invitation, everything proved that he had sneaked in, not invited. "I knew he didn't belong here. Probably a thief," sneered a well dressed woman to the man standing besides her, eyeing Josh with disdain."Yeah, look at him.

The comments struck a nerve within him. Despite his efforts to brush them off, the accusations annoyed h
Everyone didn't expect Mr. Ramirez's reaction when he darted his eyes towards Josh. They had all expected the old man to be furious, perhaps to call for immediate action against the alleged intruder.

Mr. Ramirez said enthusiastically as he walked over to him, a genuine smile spreading across his face.He was truly glad to see Josh attending the event. When he had personally instructed his secretary to invite him to the event, he hadn't been sure Josh would show up at all.

The sound of his footsteps echoing as he walked down the university corridor hit Josh's ears, along with the lively laughter and chatter of other university students. Josh checked the time on his wristwatch, and a sigh escaped his lips as he saw that he was running very late for his part time job. He worked a part time job to support himself, and he had been doing this since he was eighteen, when he left the orphanage that he lived in.As Josh continued to walk down the hallway, he walked past two girls who were standing in the hallway, having a conversation.
