    Chapter 123


    Byran casually wiped the small cut at the corner of his mouth “It’s nothing, just a minor scratch What’s


    up?”


    Carlos looked visibly worried, “Um…your mom asked me to get you home to do your homework. She


    said exams are around the corner, and if you don’t hit the books soon, your dad might be sending you


    off to boot camp


    Byran didn’t seem too pleased, as he seemed tock the words for a response.


    Ellinor shed a smile, “Better get your butt home and do your homework or your mom might whoop


    you”


    Feeling a bit embarrassed in front of his new friend, Byran blushed, “Cut it out! I’m not a kid anymore,


    my mom won’t spank me anymore!”


    Carlos nced at Ellinor, puzzled at how Byran could be hanging out with the usually despised ‘Mrs


    nchet‘. Plus, she looked a bit weird today.


    However, he didn’t have time to ponder, Byran was hurt, and even if he didn’t need to be rushed to the


    ER, he should at the very least get him to see a doc ASAP


    Carlos quickly pulled Byran away. “Let’s hit the road! If we’rete, your dad might whoop you too.”


    Ellinor giggled


    Byran seemed ticked off, ring at Carlos, “You dimwit, cut the crap! I’ve never been whooped!”

    Carlos mumbled defensively. “Oh, my bad! You’ve never been whooped”


    Byran was irritated, “Don’t pull me! I can walk!”


    As Carlos led Byran away, Ellinor seemed quite pleased


    “Ellinor!”


    She’s voice suddenly rang out.


    Ellinor turned around to see She storming over.


    “Ellinor, there you are! I’ve been looking all over for you and here you are, goofing off all by yourself on


    the swings!”


    Ellinor calmly replied. “I’ve been looking for you too. I couldn’t find you and got tired, so I’m taking a


    breather here!”


    She red, “Get up, now!”


    Ellinor stood up


    She sat down on the swing, haughtily announcing. “Just so you know, my godfather will be


    introducing me to someone importantter, and you need to be there to assist


    me”


    Godfather? Ellinor thought. Must be that middle–aged man she was having a great chat with earlier.


    She’s godfather, Pollock, is a big–shot director in the film industry. He was attending the banquet


    today to secure funding for his new movie.


    She’s invite was courtesy of her godfather.


    He had also suggested she could meet some bigwigs in the investment world while there, and she


    mightnd more resources down the line if she catches their eye. Thinking about meeting important


    people made She a bit nervous. She needed an assistant to boost her image.


    Ellinor’s outfit today was rather unassuming, so she wouldn’t steal any limelight from She.


    “Got it? You need to be on your toes. You’re not just there to assist me but also to serve tea and water


    to the VIPS. They’re big shots!”


    Ellinor nodded, “Got it. But who are we meeting? At least give me a heads up.”


    She proudly announced, “The head honcho of the nchet family – Theo!”
