Chapter 8
Mae's Pov
The next day..
I was here today at the university in the president's office, arranging files when the door suddenly opened
It's Ms Austen
"Mae"
I stood up on the swivel chair
"Yes Ms. Austen?"
"Is everyone ready??"
"Just like I told you earlier, everything is ready," I said with a smile
"Good, that's for sure" she said as she walked out of the office
We don't have a class today because it's foundation day and I'm the one who's in charge for everything
Sound system
Venue
Invitation
Guests
Students
Everything
I took my bag from the swivel chair along with the program list and walked out of the president's office but before I left I made sure it was locked.
"Hey girl, he's here"
"Yes, he is really handsome"
"Indeed"
I stopped walking and stared at the girls
And I saw Kyle who had just gotten out of his car and was talking to someone on his cell phone
His face was obviously tense when he put down his phone
"Ms. Secretary"
Ms Secretary really??
I was surprised that he was in front of me
" W..what?? " I stammered
" Can I pass? "
" Of course, why did you need to ask my permission?
Why does he need to ask my permission to me that he will pass by??
"You're blocking my path"
I turned to the left and right, they were all on the side
And I'm the only one in the middle
"So..sorry" I said while walking to the right
"Tss" I heard and he walked away
But I noticed something tied on his right hand
Is his hand hurt?
Is that why his hand was injured because of what he did to his sister's ex boyfriend??
But I also noticed his eyes
It's brown
But I remember his eyes I color gray? Why his eyes turned brown right now?
Flashback
Phones ringing
I got up from lying down and took my cell phone and looked at it
Mrs. Austen's Calling
I answered immediately
"Yes Ms. Austen??"
"Tomorrow will be the 50th foundation anniversary of Austen's University and as my personal secretary I want you to prepare"
Foundation Day of the university tomorrow??
I took the notebook and ball pen from the small table where the lampshade rested
"I will send to your email the list of things you need to prepare and the pictures I want you to make a power point presentation and put it on a flash drive"
I wrote what he said
" Noted Ms. Austen .. Is that all?? "
" I want all to be perfect for tomorrow Ms. Salvartes, it's my first year at Austen University, I don't want to be embarrassed, especially since mommy is coming tomorrow, can I count on you??"
"Of course Ms. Austen"
And she turned off the call
I walked to my study table with the notebook where I wrote everything that Ms. Austen wanted me to do.
And I sat on the chair and put my cellphone on the table and the notebook
and I opened my laptop
After a few seconds
I received a notification
Email From : GwendlynJeanneAusten@gmail.com
I immediately opened it
Check list
Sound System
Venue - Will be on gymnasium
Invitation
Guests
Students
I immediately wrote it all down in my notebook
I took my cell phone and dialed
Just a few rings and it was answered immediately
" Good evening this is Mae Salvartes Personal Secretary of Ms. Gwendly Jeanne Austen daughter of Michelle Austen the president slash owner of Austen University i just want to say that the sound system is needed tomorrow morning before 8 am in gymnasium .. Yes .. Of course the technical staff is also needed .. Yes .. Yes .. Ok " I said hanging up
Sound system check
After a few minutes, I finished calling everyone who needed to be called for tomorrow's foundation day
*knock!*knock*
"Come in" I shouted
"here"
I turned to him
My cousin put the milk on the table
"Thanks cousin"
" Aren't you done yet? It's already 10:00 pm "
I looked at my watch and he's right it was already 10:00 in the evening
"Not yet, I will make a power point for foundation day tomorrow"
"Yes, it's foundation day tomorrow okay after that go to sleep."
"I will "
He walked out of my room
And my gaze returned to the laptop
Ok I will make a power point
I clicked on the other one Ms. sent to me. Austen
I saw their family picture
Ms. Austen, Kyle is also their mommy
Wait, their family picture already?? Where is their daddy and Kyle's twin??
Next picture
They again but with Kyle's twin
I stared at it
They look alike
The only difference is that Kyle's twin brother Charleshas brown hair and Kyle's hair are black mixy brown.
But I was stunned by his eyes
Gray color??
End of Flashback
Why were his eyes brown when I first saw him?
If his eyes are really gray??
He wears contact lenses??
Why did he wear contact lenses??
Why doesn't he want to show the true color of his eyes??
The next day
I was holding the ear device that was placed in my ear
"What is it Ms. Austen"
" Set up the flashdrive on the stage"
" Noted Ms. Austen " I said as I walked to the gymnasium
When I arrived at the gymnasium, the stage, the sound system, the three seats in front of the stage were already set up. As far as I know, Ms. Michelle Austen, Ms. Gwendly Jeanne Austen and of course Kyle Edward Austen will be sitting there.
I went to the right side where there was a table and a chair I put my bag on the chair and took out my laptop I also took the flash drive from my bag and connected it to the laptop while opening the laptop
Very thing set
But I'm nervous about what will happen now
"All the students, faculty and staff please go to gymnasium we will start our 50th foundation anniversary" I heard from the speaker
In the classroom, hallway, lobby and cafeteria there is a speaker placed so that if someone is summoned it will be easy
Even cctv's are scattered throughout the university
After a few seconds, the students started to stare and they all lined up at the bottom of the stage
But I noticed a familiar woman, she was wearing Austen's University Uniform, she had a long and straight black hair, had white skin, kissable lips in short, she was beautiful
She is really familiar to me, I don't know where I saw her
" Good morning students! " said the MC
"Good morning" answered the students
"I'm Benjamin Shelton your Student Supreme Government President and I will be your MC for today's 50th Foundation Anniversary of our beloved Austen University"
Benj is the MC
They applauded
" Before we start our program let me call on Ms. Michelle Austen the president slash owner of this University and his son Kyle Edward Austen "
They hit the stage together
" Kyle is really handsome "
"Yes, too much"
I was shocked by Kyle
Kyle gave a smile to the girls who praised him earlier
"Girl he smiled at me"
"Me too"
Kyle and his mommy sat on the chair together
I'm here
"And now lady's and gentleman the daughter of the owner of this University .. Ms. Gwendly Jeanne Austen"
I saw that Ms. Gwen Austen of the stage and waved
But I noticed a man who was with her earlier
Is that her boyfriend??
Benj gave the microphone to Ms. Austen
And took Ms. Austen and addressed the audience
" Good morning to my mom Mrs. Michelle Austen to my brother , teachers, principal, student's and guest good morning now is the 50th foundation day of our beloved school .But allow me to show you some pictures to make your day memorable. And for those who don't know us, allow me to show you some pictures of my family"
Ms. Austen looked at me at the same time. She signaled me to play the power point I made last night
And I played it
The picture of her smiling mommy came out first
I turned back to Ms. Austen
But I noticed something about him
He is sad
I just keep playing
"You all see correctly that my brother has a twin. We would still be whole family if he hadn't died.." Ms Austen said
And a picture of the girl I saw earlier and Kyle's twin flashed on the screen
That's why she's familiar to me because I saw her in the picture with Kyle's twin brother
"My brother died because of that naughty girl!" Ms Gwen Austen said angrily and pointed at the woman earlier
Ms Gwen's brother died. And because of the woman??
"My brother died because of her negligence!! What kind of girlfriend are you if you didn't protect my brother!! "
She??
She is Crista Gilbuña
She was the girlfriend of Kyle's twin brother? Charles??
