83. Don’t mix business with friendship
The whole class looked at Jasper in shock, especially Skyler.
“What? You don’t believe me?” He asked and looked around with a kind of look.
“You’re not even putting on a ring” Cynthia crossed her arms under her breast as she twitched her lips at her.
“Well I might have just taken it off, why is no one thinking of that” he shrugged.
“Okay, you are not my husband, you don’t have to do that” Skyler rolled her eyes at him.
“I’m not doesn’t mean I can’t be, I mean what’s up with that dude you call a husband anyways? You’re been harassed online and publicly and all he does is hide, he’s such an idiot” Jasper rolled his eyes.
“Hey.. watch your words” Hudson pointed at him. He has been keeping quiet now this guy was starting to insult his brother, even his boss.
“What concerns you if Jasper is talking about Skyler’s husband or are you suddenly Skyler’s husband?” A student asked Hudson and the argument started again.
Lilian was trying to keep calm and listen to music but the noise wasn’t helping. Her voice showed that she was losing patience with everyone in that classroom and she did.
“Can everyone just shut up!!!!” She stood up and yelled. She was already fed up with everyone in the class, she couldn’t take it anymore.
The class kept quiet and all eyes were on her.
“Don’t you guys have something better to do with your lives? Why are you arguing over who is Skyler’s husband if she tries to keep him a secret, who fûcking cares? Can we stop making everything all about her please!” She yelled and ran out of the classroom.
Skyler went after her.
“Lilian!!” She shouted her name as she followed her.
“Leave me alone!!” Lilian yelled back and kept running.
“Please can you stop!! I’m not feeling well I still can’t run!!” Skyler stopped running, she was painting slowly.
Lilian stopped and turned back in anger.
“What is it, Skyler? Haven’t you gotten enough? When you first entered you’ve successfully made the school all about you, even the sales party you made it all about you! Aren’t you even tired of being talked about or mentioned everywhere?” Lilian gave her a type of bittered look.
“Everything is not about me Lilian, I just have good friends, a good family, and the best husband that makes me happy all the time. I’m not in for your competition that’s why I don’t have a problem with anything” She replied.
Lilian scoffed.
“Everyone must have seen me as stupid now. That your friend Felix, wait a go” She shook her head before turning around and leaving.
Skyler sighed and faced forward. She didn’t even know what to say concerning Felix’s case, the boy was always like that and she wondered why.
There was no time to think of anything, she just shook her head and went back to class.

LIGHTHOUSE HIGH★
“Okay, I’m seeing a new student in this class, can you stand up and introduce yourself to us please” a male teacher said the moment he walked in.
Elsa looked around but she stood up and did as told.
“My name is Elsa Locks” she introduced to the Mr Brown who was just writing on the board before turning to face her.
“Welcome to the lighthouse, Carson give her a tour around the school later today. You can sit” Mr Brown said and Elsa sat down.
James was at the back, he didn’t look too happy with what he was hearing.
•••
“And lastly this is the field, it’s where we all play sports. What’s your favorite sport?” Carson asked her with a smile.
“Volleyball” she replied.
“Lucky for you, we have that here, so that’s the end of the tour, can I get your phone number?” He then asked.
“You’re so weird, what’s with trying to be close to me?” She gave him a look.
“What? I thought we were friends already, I mean I’m the first person to talk to you, aren’t I? People here can be so rude” he scoffed.
Elsa sighed and stretched her hands to him.
“What?” He asked with his eyes narrowed.
“Your phone, don’t you need my number anymore?” She twitched her lips at him.
“Oh I do, thanks” Carson smiled and gave her his phone. She typed her number there and gave it back to him.
“Don’t call me late at night” she told him before leaving.
Carson stared at her number on his phone before saving it with her name.
“I’m happy for you, you’ve finally gotten what you’ve always wanted,” someone said behind him and he turned back to see James walking in.
“And you too, you’ve got what you’ve always wanted. You can finally start dating boys in public, it’s good news” Carson smiled at him.
“And you can start dating girls in public. I give you a week and you would introduce her to your family especially your Grandpa, the one you’ve been ashamed to show me off to. Thank you, Carson, for wasting my time” James flashed him a fake smile and walked past him.
Carson stared at his retreating figure before looking at Elsa’s number on his phone.

RESTAURANT★
The glass door rolled open and Maya stepped in. She was putting on a long coat, sunglasses, and nose mask. Her eyes scanned the whole tables till she caught Agnes who was waving at her.
She sighed and walked towards her, took her seat, and got rid of the stuff in her face.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Did you call me here to tell me that my daughter finally stands a chance in your family’s house?” Agnes asked after Maya settled down.
“Skyler is pregnant” Maya replied.
“So?” Agnes stared at her.
“What do you mean by that? I said Skyler is pregnant so I can’t do anything” Maya looked pissed.
“You can look for a way to get rid of the baby so my daughter can still get a chance maybe you can even drug your son and let him get Hailey pregnant” Agnes shrugged.
“Jesus Agnes! How could you say such things without flinching” Maya stared at her with an unbelievable look.
“Why are you surprised Maya? You also did the things you did without flinching so finish what you started or else your days in the Delgado mansion are over!” Agnes replied her.
“Are you still my best friend?” Maya’s eyes were misty as she asked.
Agnes faked a hurt expression as she brought her hands to caress Maya’s cheeks.
“Oh Hunny, you are still my best friend of course but we are not in that bestie era for now, we are in the business era and I don’t miss business with friendship” Agnes smirked and wiped off the tears that escaped Maya’s eyes.
After some minutes, Maya stepped out of the restaurant and went to her car. A pair of male legs also stepped out behind her.
His lips formed a smirk.
“Interesting” he muttered.
