Argh...I woke up from another one of those dreams. This time it is more vivid, I know how the kiss taste like. I thought he would jump on me yesterday with the talk of being his and the hot kiss and my going back to study opportunity he was giving me but No. He put all the dirty dishes back on the cart, push it to leave it outside the door, put the two glasses in the sink, kiss me on my lips, say goodnight and went back into his room with his door close!
This morning, he greeted me as usual except for a brief kiss on my cheek and grab all the work stuff to go down to the conference room. It's like we are having a chaste relationship. There wasn't any time for me to think further on the topic the moment we step through the conference room, it was like a war zone. There was a lot of coordination going on with head office especially on the management and financial aspect. I was studying all the mapping and trying to put north, south, east , west together.
The day end fast when you have something to focus on. I was only able to put a new map together after so many hours but it is the first step. The map was mark with green for unit still with residence, brown for those collapsed unit, red for unit we need to find their owner for negotiation, yellow for unknown that we have to check further with the city hall and big crosses where we knew LokLok and gang hangs out.
Steven proposed to eat at the Italian restaurant in the hotel instead of room service. We went straight from the conference room.
"YaoYao, I have confirmation from University G that they will accept your continuity in the architecture degree course. Since the course have already started you have to bring your ID to go to reactivate your registration at university tomorrow. There are too many follow up so I wouldn't be able to send you. Will you be ok?" Steven brought up the topic.
I am surprise he managed to get confirmation within a day,"Of course. I used to be in the same university so I know my way around. You don't need to worry and thank you so much for doing this for me."
"It's also for me. It would be in my best interest to invest in my other half, don't you think so?" he teased.
I blush at his statement,"I hope it is not too much trouble for you."
"Not at all. Just a phone call but I am impatient to get this project on the go,"he admitted.
I didn't dwell on the topic and we had a quiet night like the night before and again a kiss on my lips to bid me goodnight. I wonder if I am some sort of coverage for his real sexual orientation. There is a saying that goes; good looking man are gay and considerate.
......
Next morning, I took a taxi to go to University G after break fasting with Steven. I kept my doubt to myself, maybe I will be able to collect some proof as time goes by.
I went straight to the administration office upon arrival. The lady in-charge is still the same. She appear to be waiting for my arrival,"Oh Ms. Qin! you are here. I have your paperwork ready with the principal. Let me inform him that you are here."
"Ah....Ms. Qin, I was waiting for you. Please come with me into the office. You just need to sign the documents and you will be our prestigious student once again. Mr. Steven has implied that you will be a part of the design team for the new Emperor Empire City working together with Lee Group. You must have a compact schedule with such a big project. I am sorry to trouble you to come over for the administration work but it is the university policy to verify admission, "the Principal said apologetically.
Weird, our principal is known for his arrogance. Not only he look at student's results but also family background during admission. During my first year, I was put together with third class students who mostly have good results but no powerful family to support higher ambitions. This time I saw I was in the first class on the administration paper.
"Sir, there must be a mistake in the paperwork. I was in third class before,"I voiced out.
"No mistake Ms. Qin, we didn't know you are affiliated with Mr. Steven before. Please put in some good words for us that we overlook your qualification for scholarship by mistake. It was not our intention to let a gem such as yourself go,"he sounded really sorry.
There is a scholarship system in University G however it is more like an award to spoiled kids from rich family to show off that they have the ability to perform above par. Throughout the history of the university, none from the third class has ever granted one before.
"Sir, about my tuition fees,"I started.
"Don't worry, Mr. Steven has settled everything. You just need to submit a copy of the initial design of the Emperor Empire City with the company stamp, it will be consider as your final project. Your attendance in class is not necessary except for a few occasion when your assign professor would like to check on your progress. Please be assured that we will uphold strict confidentially about the information on the design,"the principal said.
After the administration paperwork at the university, I was introduced to my assigned professor. Professor Lee has won two global architecture awards before he started teaching. He is one of the most sought after architecture professor in the field. Students queue the night before registration to get into his subject classes. He gave me his email and phone detail in order for me to contact him directly if I have question. Professor Lee also handed me a non-disclosure letter he signed to withheld all information in our discussion on the project will be kept confidential,"Please hand this letter to Mr. Steven for me. It is an honor to work with you on this project. Let's hope we can contribute to the better living of City G together with the things we built."Another surprise for me.
