"What about Eric?"

" I don’t know man, he said he wasn’t feeling so well yesterday."

"Omg! That’s so cute."

"Cheeeesee!"

"Have you seen the movie with the red Gorilla?"

The whole class was lively, a little bit chaotic too.

As Miles listened to his classmates chatter about the most random things, he consistently typed with his fingers.

Whilst, in the first row, third seat.

Theo could also be seen with his head lowered, similarly tapping his phone screen as he held back a smile from forming on his face.

This was Miles, Theo, Oliver and Simon chatting in their introverted friend group.

The whole school might think Miles was aloof because he chose not to mingle with the other high profile students, but this group didn’t.

At this moment every lesson for the Junior classes had been cancelled till further notice due to the excursion.

Just as the chatter continued, a figure stepped into the classroom, silencing the noise.

Looking up, it was their mathematics teacher.

"Silence please." The man said and everyone quickly sat back in their seats. A moment later even a pin dropping would be heard.

Nodding at this with a satisfied look, Mr Marcus proceeded to speak in a calm confident manner.

" Alright everyone. I trust you have all been well and have patiently waited for this.

Today is the D-day. Please in the next thirty seconds you should pack up just your notes and pen. The school bus is waiting right outside. Please be orderly and restrained."

" Yes sir!"

After that the whole class responded with a loud vibrant shout, the excitement and expectation they had for this trip evident in their tone.

" Good."

Following that, Mr Marcus turned and left.

The whole class erupted into helter-skelter, chaos ensued as everyone rushed towards the exit.

’Well, fuck this’ Glancing at his book and paper, Miles decided to leave them beside with genuine pride as top student. His brain was enough.

Assembling with Theo who waved his note at him, they both walked behind the hurried students.

’Heheh. Why do I feel like this is going to be a thrilling adventure.’

He couldn’t help but think.

When they got outside, there were two luxury buses not belonging to the school waiting outside.

On it was the Kingstone Group logo: A gold crown circled with black.

"Over here." Oliver shouted as they spotted him.

When boarding the bus, they sat at the forefront while the high profile students enjoyed the dark covers of the curtains.

Surrounded by his clique, the feeling was different.

_______

Dominic City, Kingstone Group Headquarters.

In one of the simple elegant offices with premium, prestigious design.

Behind the sleek grand desk that contained a quarter of the space, a woman in classic luxurious wear was seated. Radiating both wealth and power with every single movement she made.

At this moment, her brows were furrowed as she stared at the paper in her hands.

"Huh? How could someone have this amount of shares without their identity known, she thought, puzzled.

Just then, there was a polite knock on the office door.

The woman said in a low controlled voice.

Click!

The sleek door was pushed to reveal the woman’s PA. A slender woman in a red, short pencil skirt. Showcasing her exquisite figure and luxury taste.

Despite her position, none in the company dared to look down at her, because when looked closely at, this woman in red was very similar to the woman behind the desk, just their figure greatly differed.

" Mom, you have a meeting to attend with construction workers and the high school students from Dominion High."

At her daughter’s words, the woman tore her gaze from the files and slowly took off her glasses with a contented look.

"Oh, I remember. When is it?"

"Thirty minutes from now."

"Alright, let’s go. I need to get coffee first."

Standing up, the woman revealed herself to be a tall, voluptuous goddess that was blessed in every place necessary. All in one.

Beatrix Kingsley, the Chief Financial Officer of Kingstone Group and also the wife of Arthur Kingsley, the CEO of Kingstone Group.

Naturally, Jason Kingsley was her son.

All her life, she had drawn the awe and ambition of countless men. And with the rumours of her going through a divorce phase with her husband circulating the upper society, those wanting to court were even more outrageous.

She was the fantasy of many wealthy folks out there and it would be considered a blessing if they managed to get a piece of her.

Scarlett stared at her mother, also captivated and jealous by such a body.

Without exchanging many words, they departed to their destination.

Meanwhile,

Kingstone Construction site.

Two luxurious buses slowly came to a stop and students began to step out in twos.

And as they did, about two to three supervisors took charge of directing them.

The first stood by the bus entrance, handing out a tag ID with just numbers.

"Shit! I got number 20."

"Mine is 100."

"15."

" 80."

As these voices kept reciting these numbers, the crowd became rowdy. Many vexed that they would be separated from their cliques due to the totally random card placement.

Noises also erupted from where the second bus was.

Some students had begun exchanging tags too. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

With a glance, bullies like Tyler and Chris had forcefully exchanged tags.

"Shameless bastards." Simon cursed quickly, retracting his gaze from the second bus.

"I’m number 200." Miles said, glancing at his tag.

"Shit! I’m number 1."

"75."

"78."

Simon reported, then Theo and Oliver who were quite fortunate.

Seeing this, Miles smiled wistfully.

" Well, how unfortunate for me."

Seeing the commotion, the supervisors didn’t mind.

"Number 1 to 50 please step and gather there."

" 50 to 100 follow me."

" 150-200. Let’s group. We have four teams in total."

Following each loud call, students from both buses gathered.

’What a surprise.’

Tilting his head as a figure bumped into him, Miles’ eyes first landed on her tag 199.

’Chloe.’ he thought as he recognised that beauty before him.
