Leo stared at the man who was standing in front of him keenly. His stare was so intense that the man thought it would penetrate through him.
"Say who you are?" It was Leo who asked.
The man did not reply as he was observing Leo up and down and thinking deeply about whether to say the truth or not.
"You don't want to say?" Leo asked again.
The man shook his head and said, "I am Peter, working part-time as a Lighting technician"
Seeing them not interrogating him further, he continued after a moment, "Forgive me for broadcasting the picture. I know I am in wrong and could not be forgiven. Even so, tell me if there is something that I can do. I'll do anything if they are within my limits"
Still, Evan and Leo stayed quiet. So, he helplessly continued.
"I did not publish it because of greed and I did not receive any kind of bribe. I solely did that to save my mother. She offered to recommend my mother if I accept this deal. I did not think it would affect anyone"
…
"Hello senior, have a nice party"
"Hallo seniors, enjoy the party"
"Hi senior sisters, welcome to the party"
"Good party, senior brothers"
"Ayo seniors, happy reunion"
…
"It's really tiring Nina; I wish I had a bed here so I can sleep"
A girl said to Nina. When she saw Nina, she felt sorry. She was the one who asked Nina to come with her to welcome the seniors as a host. Even though Nina did not say she was tired, Jenny felt bad.
"I am sorry. Because of me, you came here. If I didn't call you, you will not be so tired"
"Don't say like we are not close, Jen. You are my friend so; it is my duty to help you" Nina said but what she said did not agree with her thoughts.
"You are so good to me Nina" Jenny smiled.
"If you feel unwell, you can take a rest. I'll take your turn" Nina said.
"No, it was me who asked you to accompany me. You can take a rest" Jenny felt gloomy because of this.
"No, I am not tired. You take rest" Nina enforced. 'Go soon, I don't need you here '
"Okay, Nina. Call me if you need anything" Jenny said and departed.
"Good that you left by yourself or I have to use my way" Nina whispered to herself and got prepared to welcome the most esteemed guest of today's reunion party, the Vice-Chairman of HILL's University.
"Happy dear! I am so happy dear. I'll come as soon as my work is completed. Lol!"
Someone's high pitch exclamation entered Nina's ear. She was very much disgusted by that person for disturbing her amity. But, when she saw who that disgusting person was, she backed a few steps subconsciously.
'Is he the same cold and unapproachable Vice-Chairman? No, I investigated him before and he was so cold and not a very friendly person '
Even though it shocked her, she had to compose herself before him.
"Good day sir. Please come in" She smiled politely as she passed him a flower bouquet.
The Vice-Chairman flashed her an unhappy look. He was so angry that he wanted to smash his phone on her head. It was clear that he was on phone, yet she dared to interfere with him.
Feeling his angry mood, his secretary accepted the bouquet before he smashed it in her head and asked him to go inside. She seemed twenty-one or twenty-two years old. Her appearance was very attractive and she was very approachable.
Seeing her, Nina felt a little envious and jealous. But it soon changed into hatred when she heard her.
"Sir, Leo messaged he will come soon. So, I shall wait here for him. You can go inside" Magna, his secretary said while checking her phone.
The Vice-Chairman eyed his secretary. He had a reason to attended today's boring reunion party. And, that was Leo.
"Ok, Maggie. I'll go inside now. Come with him"
"Yes sir," Magna said politely.
When Nina heard their conversation, she wanted to say Leo was her and only hers. No one else was capable enough to be with him. He was, is, and always hers.
Some drops of blood oozed out from her palm. But she did not feel pain. He should be hers and no way other.
Seeing Magna smiling, she wanted to grab her hair and slap her until she was satisfied. Her chilly gaze was felt by Magna and she faced her but could not find anything abnormal. So, she smiled at Nina and continued scrolling her mobile page.
After less than two minutes Leo came with Evan. Nina was excited as well as gloomy.
'So, they were close as expected. So what? I want him, you are not worthy to become my opponent'
Magna jumped when she saw Leo and ran towards him. Holding his hands, she exclaimed, "Oh my handsome Romeo! Seeing your handsome face, even I want to be your Juliet"
Seeing this, Nina dug her nails into her palm further.
'You want to be his Juliet? Huh? That's never gonna happen. You are just a poor secretary'
Only if she knew her identity, she would never have thought of her as just a poor secretary.
"Hello seniors, happy day" She then passed a rose bouquet to Leo. She also saw Evan who came with Leo despite she didn't give him a welcome gift. It was also because angry at him as he helped Emily causing her plan failure. If he did not come and stand for Emily, she would have succeeded in making the trio miserable.
Magna eyed her unhappily.
'She will never learn good manners. I just helped her not to get a blow in her head, yet she interferes again'
She accepted the rose bouquet on behalf of Leo and also noticed there are only one bouquet and eyed Nina.
Leo eyed Nina. In his opinion, this immature and sly girl was not worthy of his attention.
Nina felt him starring at her so, she shyly lowered her head. Only if she knew his thoughts, she would have died with anger.
When Evan saw her lowering her head shyly, he eyed Leo who nodded at him. Understanding his message, Evan wanted to kill her then and there. How dare she plot against Emily? She just came into the tiger's cave, never should think she could leave alive.
Magna called them to go inside. She could not wait anymore to see Romeo's Juliet.
Leo only smiled at her enthusiasm. He knew why she came and disguised herself as her father's secretary. So, he went inside with Magna and Evan. But, Evan's dragger eyes wanted to kill Nina.
Nina felt someone staring at her all along. She thought it was Leo. She was glad that Leo was impressed by her.
'Could it be he too like me?'
…
The once quiet, gorgeous, and long hall was now filled with students. Some students were singing, some were dancing, some were chit-chatting, and some playing. The entire hall was filled with joy and laughter. Hanging candles, balloons, golden petals, and glittering lights were seen everywhere. It wasn't that extravagant but so well-designed. It seemed that it would suit each and everyone's taste.
The one who was hosting this reunion party was none other than the senior 2nd-year student of Spartan high school. The décor, pattern, and games were chosen by them. The management had only allotted money for them to celebrate the reunion party as grand as they wish. It was not that the management did not care about the reunion party. They had given all the preparation of reunion party to senior 2nd-year to see how they wish to celebrate their reunion party after two years. They would use their preference for their reunion.
