Throughout the school year, a fierce competition raged amongst the girls surrounding Adriel. They all wanted to be the one to win his attention and affection, but their common goal was to keep him hidden from anyone who might pose a threat to their plans.
However, as school events rolled around, a new mission emerged. It was a collective goal that brought them all together: to see Adriel dressed in waiter attire at the upcoming school event. They strategized, whispered, and giggled as they carefully plotted their moves. Their eyes never left Adriel's backside, as if it were the grand prize on a game show.
But in order to make this happen, they needed to convince Adriel's entire class to participate. It was a daunting task, but one that Seda and Elizabeth took on with gusto. They owned companies that invested in anonymous funds, and they were able to use their business savvy to negotiate with the school director to keep their plans a secret.
The negotiations were tense, and the girls knew that if word got out, their mission would be doomed. But they were determined to see it through, even if it meant risking everything. They worked tirelessly, making sure that every detail was taken care of, and that nothing was left to chance.
Finally, the day of the school event arrived. The girls nervously waited as Adriel donned his waiter attire and stepped into the room. As he walked by, they exchanged glances and giggles, knowing that their hard work had paid off. And when Adriel caught their eye and flashed a smile, they felt a sense of accomplishment that made all of their efforts worth it.

Elizabeth knew that if she wanted the school festival event to be a maid's coffee, she needed to secure the votes from the influential group of geeks. She approached them with a rude tone, calling them "losers" and demanding their support for the maid's coffee event. The leader of the group was skeptical and asked why they should vote for it.
Elizabeth responded with a frightening threat, "I'm going to tell the head of your illegal business selling pictures of girls and tell everyone that you have a crush on Adriel if you don't vote." The geek was taken aback, wondering how Elizabeth had found out about their illicit activities and feelings for Adriel. He realized that Elizabeth was not someone to be trifled with and quickly agreed to her demands.
This was just one example of Elizabeth's skill in negotiating and blackmailing. She had learned from Elora how to gather information and use it to her advantage. Elizabeth always came prepared with something to hold over the other person's head. It was a tactic that had worked for her in the past and continued to do so.
As the geek agreed to vote for the maid's coffee event, he requested a photo of himself with Adriel as part of the deal. Elizabeth begrudgingly agreed and handed over the photos, warning him to keep their deal a secret. He nodded before leaving, relieved to have avoided the consequences of crossing Elizabeth.
Elizabeth knew that negotiating with the school's preppy girl group would be a tougher challenge than the geeks. These girls were confident and not easily intimidated, unlike the nerds who were scared of her. They openly admitted their mistakes and were known to be difficult to sway with just money.
To win them over, Elizabeth had to come up with a different strategy. She offered them a part in her plan, allowing them to help with Adriel's makeup every day. In exchange, they would be promised the chance to sit next to Adriel during lunch, giving them more opportunities to gaze at his face while he ate.
Initially, the preppy girls were hesitant to agree to Elizabeth's terms. They weren't interested in just a glimpse of Adriel's face; they wanted more. So Elizabeth sweetened the deal by promising to include them in a future partnership they had planned. They would be responsible for helping to hide Adriel from anyone else who wanted to get close to him.
But there was a catch. Elizabeth was still keeping her identity a secret, which made things more challenging. However, the preppy girls were running out of options, and they knew they had to act fast if they wanted to keep Adriel all to themselves. In the end, they decided to go along with Elizabeth's plan, hoping that it would be enough to satisfy their desires.

Seda was a master negotiator, and she knew exactly how to get what she wanted. She had been preparing for this meeting with the school director for days, studying his personality, and anticipating his moves.
When the director proposed that 40 percent of the festival funds should go to other classes, Seda knew she had to push back hard. She didn't want to lose any of the money she had invested in the festival.
"Ten percent is more than enough for other classes," Seda replied, her voice firm.
The director was not so easily swayed. "I can't accept anything less than 25 percent," he said.
Seda considered her options. She knew that if she pushed too hard, the director might walk away from the deal altogether. But she couldn't let him take too much of the money either.
"Fine," she said finally, "fifteen percent. But that's my final offer."
The director nodded, realizing that Seda was a tough negotiator. "Agreed," he said.
But Seda wasn't finished yet. She had one more request to make. "I think we should add a new activity to the festival," she said, "something related to maids."
The director looked puzzled. "Why maids?"
Seda smiled. "I have a special surprise planned for Adriel, and I think a maid-themed activity would be perfect for it."
The director raised an eyebrow. "What kind of surprise?"
Seda leaned in close and whispered in his ear. The director's eyes widened in surprise.
"I see," he said slowly. "And what's in it for me?"
"I'll add two percent to my next payment to the school," Seda said. "One percent for helping me, and one percent for making sure that no one finds out about our arrangement."
The director thought about it for a moment before nodding. "Deal," he said.
Seda smiled to herself as she left the meeting. She knew that her plan was coming together perfectly and that she was one step closer to winning Adriel's heart.
