Gold Bars Law Firm.
"Sir, prosecutor Bill was found dead in the swimming pool at his villa earlier this morning. " Sam, Williams' Bryan secretary reported to him.
"He couldn't deal with water but he's at loggerhead with me. What a fool! So, what's Silverbird saying?"
"They are withdrawing from the case with Chevrolet. They are ready to take up the offers."
A cunning smile spread across his face. They don't know whom they are dealing with. "Tell Lisa to be here ASAP". He ordered, making Sam dash out hurriedly.
Soon, Lisa arrived with a sly grin playing at the corner of her lips. "The Master of all had done it again."
"You know, I hate it when you feel there's nothing that can be done to any situation. It shows that you're still doubting whom you're dealing with.". He said, as he rose proudly from the chair and walked towards the couch in a segment of the large office.
Lisa trailed behind him. He laid on the couch as Lisa got on top of him, massaging his back.
"I had never for once doubted you, my Lord. I was just worried you would pity that son of a bitch since he's your nephew". Lisa smiled as she caressed every part of his already bare back softly.
"I don't have a relationship when it comes to dealing with rascals." He let out a muffled sound as Lisa touched the right spot.
"Then what do we do about your son? He's getting out of hand. " Lisa couldn't help but state the obvious.
"Leave Dreyfus out of this. What to do with him is mine to do." His gaze was becoming grave and Lisa who knew better than to push forward quickly changed the conversation.
"Henks wants a dinner with us and to discuss the remaining process regarding Chloromelate420, the new drug. The launching will take place soon."
"Inform Sam and let him amend my schedules for the day". He instructed.

GREENVILLE COLLEGE
KATE POV
I hissed annoyingly as I plugged in my earphones to block out the incessant chattering from the party freaks in the classroom.
Everyone could not stop discussing the freshman's party which took place the previous night. It was all over the school blogs and chat rooms.
I just couldn't wait to meet up with Tony after the class. He has not arrived yet as he had texted earlier to inform me about his late arrival. I guess his stepmom is at it again. That pretentious woman! I scoffed.
I hummed softly along with Dave Ramsey music playing from my headset.
A message dropped on my phone from the chatroom.
MISS MARK SHIFTED THE CLASS TO AN HOUR LATER.
Woah, what a lazy woman. She's always shifting her class. I rolled my eyes in disgust.
Forwarding the message to Tony, I left the lecture room.
'Miss Mark shifted the class to an hour later. Take your time and let's meet up at the canteen.' I added a devilish emoji, that's my usual style. Another weird thing about me. Haha
I would just use the library for a while and then head for the canteen later.
'That's new, Katie. You, eating at the canteen sounds strange to me😆😆. Anyways, I'm at the parking lot. I Will be there in five minutes.'
Tony texted back immediately.
"Silly you. You pranked me?" I gritted my teeth. He told me he won't be in school sooner.
I headed straight to the canteen. I was so famished. I didn't eat my breakfast that morning. Reasons were, one, I was late for classes and two, I really wasn't ready to face Lexie, not after the drama he displayed previously at the dinning.
I don't know why I suddenly felt nervous around him.
Soon, I was at the canteen. The noises, bursting activities irked me but I just had to endure. Going to the cafeteria outside the school would waste much of my time.
I saw an empty seat and I walked towards it. My earphones were still plugged in my ear all this while. All of a sudden, my earphones were plugged out forcefully. Still trying to process what was happening, laughter erupted from the few onlookers around.
Maya and her minions were at it again. I closed my eyes trying to keep my cool. Tony should just get here quick, I would just have to go to the cafeteria down the street.
"I know my presence always irritates you but I really don't blame you, not everyone likes what's good". I whispered to her, maintaining a smiling disposition.
"Woah, I wish I had an attitude like hers. She's always cool despite the incessant troubles from Maya". I could hear a few students remarking, off course they received deadly glares from the bullying crew.
"I wonder what you thought of yourself. You carried your shoulders so high with your pretensions." Maya scoffed angrily.
I sighted Tony from a distance. He seems to be looking for me. I made to step away from them but I was pushed abruptly to the floor.
"What! Different gasps could be heard. Of course, Maya always taunts me but she has never lifted a hand on me.
"Oh my God"..
"My crush"
"What is he doing here?'
I could hear different comments from people but I had no idea what they were talking about. I tried to stand up, I was raging inside of me and thinking of giving the bitch a taste of her own medicine. A strong arm grabbed me and the murmurs increased. I could hear camera shutter sounds. Isn't it Tony who lent me a hand? What are they all talking about?I finally looked up and saw the greatest shock of my life.
