Rumor

He sighed, it was not time for her. He can talk to her later. Right now, he should handle grandpa before he does anything. The person who came before was his private bodyguard, one of the most trusted ones by his grandfather. And Vincent knows he will surely tell his grandfather what he saw here. Clearing the misunderstanding was the main priority now.

Vincent checked his clothes and hair before going out of his room. He tried to look as professional as possible. His grandfather may love him but he was ruthless too. One may say the most dangerous are the gangsters but the most villainous are businessmen. They keep their world under their control first, and if they are not selfish, ruthless, and arrogant their crown will be taken by others.

Money, power, and luxury are greed which is worse than drug addiction. We are all addicted to money, the rich want to be richer and the poor want to be rich and the cycle never ends, it just continues.

Vincent walked out of the campus to the gate, a lavish car was parked at the gate and it didn't take time for him to know whose car it was. He gulped, gathering his courage and he walked up to the car. The man from earlier opened the door for him, Vincent wanted to clear it out to him but he noticed an old man sitting in the car's back seat like a royal.

Vincent sat down at the back seat beside him, when the man closed the door. It was silent for some time, none talked until the car started to move.

"Don't you think you have something to say?" His grandfather asked looking straight and sitting like a king.

Vincent knew what he was talking of. He wanted to know about the rumors about him and he was sure that his trusted man already informed him about the incident from before.

He has no idea how to clear this mess, that stupid girl is a jinx. At the first meeting, it turned to this, who knows what she will do if they meet again.

"It's just a rumor, don't believe it." He tried to explain but only got a glare from his grandfather, and Vincent shut his mouth immediately.

"You don't have to tell me what to believe or not." His grandfather said sharply. How dare someone who came to this world yesterday tell him what to believe or not. He has seen the world he knows best on what to believe or not.

Rumors like this always come and go, people always gossip once they get another topic they forget the previous. This world is cruel, and the only way to survive is to control those mouths. Those mouths say a lot of things daily, unknowingly it hurts someone and sometimes it kills another. If you want to be on top, deafen yourself so you can't hear useless voices.

But it was still a matter to question. Who was behind it? Both of the families are one of the most influential ones, not many dare to mess with two superpowers. Only a few have the courage but they still need a reason. No one does anything without reason.

If they target them it must be important to that person which is giving them the courage to mess with them like this.

But no matter whatever the rumor it was, how can it explain the information he got? Are they really into each other if they are, this can be used to their benefit, and most importantly his grandson like her can trust his choice. He is the one he trusts more than his blood ones. Those were spoiled from birth to know anything about his world but for Vincent it was different, he has seen the harsh reality of this world at a young age which gave him a strong urge to survive and that's what is needed in a leader.

"If you like her, I don't mind this relationship." He disclosed keeping his face straight with no emotion like usual.

Vincent gasped on hearing him, as he thought it was messy now. How can he tell him it was nothing like he thinks? He will not like a girl like that, she is just a weak one who is no help for their family but why did his grandfather agree to it. What was he planning for him? Vincent was curious about it but he dares not to ask him.
