Chapter 14

Mae's Pov

(After One Month)

I'm here now at the president's office at the school. Our class is also finished but I haven't gone home yet. There's a lot to do because all ready Christmas month

*Phone's ringing*

I took my phone out of my bag and looked at it

'Eros calling'

I immediately answered the call

"Hello" I said

"Mae, how are you there? I'm sorry I left you there"

"It's ok , I know you have something important to attend to in Singapore. How is your company doing?"

"Ok, fortunately the investors didn't leave"

I held my breath

"I'm sorry , even your business is affecting because of me"

"What are you saying Mae, it's fine by the way, he probably won't go to see you there, he just knows that you live in my house."

"I hope so cousin, but I know he will and will find a way to find me cousin. I don't want to go back to him."

"I know .. I know don't worry I can't agree to let him take you" he answered on the other line "I'll go home there" he added

"Really??"

"Yes, my obligation here is also over, besides, I can't neglect my studies, they are here mommy"

I heard the door of the president's office open

"Cousin, I'll put it down because I have something else to do"

"Alright, be careful there," he said as he hung up

Ms. Rodriguez entered the office

She immediately came to me

"Is Gwen there??"

"Yes Ms. Rodriguez"

"Please say I'm here"

"Ok just wait me for a few seconds and I will tell Ms. Austen that your here Ms. Rodriguez" I said together and went to Ms. Gwen's office. Austen

I knocked on the door

"Come in" I heard Ms. Austen

I immediately opened the door

I saw Ms. Austen sitting in a swivel chair

"Ms. Austen, Ms. Rodriguez is here"

"Go ahead and let her in," Ms. answered me. Austen

I closed the door and walked back to Ms. Rodriguez

"Come in," I said with a smile

"Thank you" she said as she walked to Ms.Gwen's office

I went back to my desk and sat on the swivel chair

And as I sat down, the phone suddenly rang on the right side of my table

I immediately answered

" This is Mae Salvartes Secretary of Gwendly Jeanne Austen acting president of Austen University. How my i help you?? "

"Get the invitations here at the office, please give the others to the investors and don't forget to give my mom, my brother and Crista and the others to the students, teachers, faculty and stuff ok and tell them if there is no invitation can't enter the venue ok " Ms. Gwen Austen said

It was only Ms. Gwen Austen who called, I thought it was something else.

" Yes Ms. Austen " I said hanging up the phone

I was about to get up when someone entered the office

Mr. Andrew is the boyfriend of Ms. Gwen Austen

"Where's Gwen? "

"It's inside"

" Okay thank you "

He immediately walked into the office

Ms. Gwen's boyfriend didn't show up for a month.

So I decided to get the invitations later

After a few hours

I looked at my watch and it was 4:34

"Mae"

I immediately recovered from the person who called me

Ms. Gwen Austen was with her boyfriend and Ms. Rodriguez

"What is that Ms. Austen?"

"You just go to Austen's hotel and these are the invitations" she said while placing the invitations in front of me

Where is Austen's Hotel??

"Amm go ahead"

"You just close the office as usual, luck it before you leave"

"Alright"

And they walked away

My cousin Eros is not here how can I go to Austen's hotel??

I put the invitations in my bag and walked out of the president's office.

When I left the president's office, I immediately closed and lock it.

I was about to walk when I noticed a dog staring at me

How come they have a dog here at the university??

He's a floppy dog, he's small and cute

I sat down

"Hello" I said stroking his head "what are you doing here??"

I noticed that there was a red ribbon attached to his neck and a red envelope

I was about to remove it when the dog suddenly ran

"Hey wait!!"

I chased the dog

I chased and chased until the dog stopped and sstaring at me

I'm out of breath

"I really appreciate you, you're cute" I said

I immediately approached the dog and removed the ribbon and took the envelope

I immediately opened it

Your invited in Grand Christmas Ball of Austen University December 24, 2018, 6:30 pm @ Austen's Hotel

Who can put an invitation to the dog?

Besides, wait, is it really me??

I reversed the invitation

And something is written

'Can you be my date?? '

I take a look around

Until I saw a man approaching me wearing an Austen University uniform and carrying a bouquet of red roses

"Kyle?"

Kyle's Pov

Flashback

I'm here today in the library wearing a headset leaning against the wall with my eyes closed when suddenly someone removes the headset from me

I was shocked

Gino was with Ethan, Benj, Ryan and Andrew

"What do you want??"

"We need to talk" he said to me seriously

Cafeteria

"What are you doing in the library??" Gino asked me

"Sleeping"

"It's good that the librarian didn't get mad at you the library is not for the sleepyhead person Kyle"

"The librarian had a crush on him besides, he won't be scolded because he's the son of the owners of this university," Benj said, "But I'm really wondering how you get a perfect score on your quizzes and exams when you're always asleep."

" Stock knowledge " I answered

"Because what is taught at our school in the states is more advanced than what is taught here at the university, so even if Kyle sleeps in the whole class he will be able to answer the quiz or exam " Gino said.

"Besides, Kyle was born smart," Ethan said

"So what are we going to talk about and you still need to criticize me here??"

" Reduce your rudeness, Kyle, they won't like you "

Benj couldn't finish what he was going to say when I looked at him evilly

"Here" Ryan said while giving me a red envelope

"What's this??"

"A red envelope" Ryan answered me wisely

I opened the red envelope

Your invited in Grand Christmas Ball of Austen University December 24, 2018, 6:30 pm @ Austen's Hotel

Grand Christmas ball?? At Austen's Hotel??

"So who is your date Ryan?" Benj asked

"I already asked Angelica and she said yes"

"To be your date??"

Ryan nodded

"Isn't that the one you're asking to be your girlfriend ?"

"Yes"

"Is she agreed??"

"Not yet, but I feel it's coming soon," Ryan answered with a smile

"Gino, I know that his fiance is the date he was on at the grand Christmas ball," Benj said, "Hey, Ethan, who is your date??" he said while Ligoning at Ethan

"Maybe I can go without a date," Ethan said

I turned to Ethan

Her fiance just died last year March 10, 2017

"Sorry bud" Benj said

"Its ok" Ethan said with a smile

"And you, Andrew?" Benj said as he look to Andrew, who had been silent for a while

"I intend to invite Gwen"

"You've been gone for a month, where are you from??"

"I was wondering if I should continue my feelings for Gwen"

Benj nodded while giving me a hug

"What??"

"Who are you dating??"

I just smiled at him

" I'm Kyle Edward Austen, it looks like I already know that smile of yours"

I guess I need to ask her to be my date
