The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

Crystal stood there looking at his father as he slapped his head off in total disappointment at his son’s behavior.

His father was a well-educated and respectable mam and from his manner of speaking, one could tell that he was not influenced by his position in society as he humbly apologized for his son’s mistakes.

Simon’s father even opted to go to the school assembly to apologize to the students for his son’s behavior towards all of them.

The administrator and tutors had stopped him from doing that as they had seen his apologies to be sincere.

His dad shook hands with Uncle Max as they became friends from that day on till date and after that incident, Simon’s shoulders had come down from their high places as he had been humiliated in front of the whole school.

His crew had abandoned him as he had no influence anymore and there were also comments going around that he was granted from home, meaning his journey was just from home to school and school to home.

His father asked the dean of the College to assign to him the washing of privies for two weeks and for him to clean all the staff offices after school before going home.

Simon could not believe that his father could do something to him like that but he was fully aware that his father was a man of justice, and that was the reason why he always informed his mother about his atrocities.

There was a time that he and his squadron, pounced on a lad just because he refused to do their assignments for them.

The student was taken to the school infirmary and his mother was called so as that of the boy.

When his mother arrived in school with a big black Jeep accompanied by two guards, she went into the Dean’s office and as Simon was being punished in there.

When he saw his mother, he got up from his punishment corner and walked to her, the mother of the young boy was also present and when she saw what her son had done to the innocent fellow, all she could do was ask her guards to give the lady some money to take proper care of her son.

No apologies and no remorse for what he had done.

The lady picked up the money from the guard’s hands and took her son out of there.

He was left to do back to class but his two friends were severely punished as they were the scapegoats.

They always followed Simon blindly whereas they had their background while he had he and their parent did not have the same financial status.

After that incident he became a more calm and serious person, he was helpful and he always wanted to go closer to Crystal but when he remembered Uncle Max” swords, he took his distance as he understood that Crystal was not of any kind of family.

The students were still scared of him but he proved his goodwill and that he had changed over time.

He was less troublesome and he took his studies very seriously as well as respecting the teachers.

That was how he became everyone’s favorite and he always had Crystal to thank for that, as she was the only person who had challenged him.

The next semester, Becky came into their college, and from the first day she set her eyes on Simon, she had an instant crush on him and every lady he saw him with, became an enemy.

That was how the story unfolded till after graduation and everyone left to their different destinations to further their studies.

While she was just about to finish her thinking, Georgia landed a hot question on her face that made her question her sanity and her emotions.

“Will you accept Simon’s proposal now if he asked you to date him or do you already have someone you are seeing and I don’t know?”, she uttered rolling her eyes all over the boutique.

Crystal with a lowered gaze peeked at her feet as if she could have answered that question better if it had been asked some years back, but right then her heart was beginning to feel something unusual for someone else and she could not comprehend if it was love or mere affection.

Georgia who had noticed that her friend had ceased conversing went closer to her with a smile and said,

“You don’t need to answer this now, you can take all the time that you want and you know that as your friend I will always support you”, she said raising her brows to tease her friend.

Both girls burst out laughing and it was getting late so they took everything that they had chosen to the desk for payment.

The blaze had called to cancel his lunch meeting with his client as he was not feeling too okay and had to return home. But just as he was about to leave, his office phone rang and he picked it up and that was his secretary informing him that someone was at the reception to see him.

” Who is the person and what do they want?”, he asked in a strange tone wanting to hang up almost immediately.

The secretary asked for their names and told her boss that they were coming for Life Mate company as they were the company’s representatives.

Blaze wondered who they could be and what they wanted to meet with him and only then did he recall that his secretary had read out his tight schedule to him in the morning and she had made mention that the endorsement was to be made today at 3:00 pm.

He immediately looked at the large clock that was hung on his office wall and he realized that it was 3:10 pm by the time on it.

He had no other option but to attend to them before leaving his office. He was still deep in thought when he heard his secretary asking if he was still on the line and he said that she should send them to his office.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Crystal and Georgia were done with their shopping and they left the shopping center for the mall.

Crystal was happy to be spending the day with her friend and this helped her to forget about the incident that had taken place some hours back.

She got into her automobile and Georgia was happy as she pushed the top of her car, sending her head outside while singing to the hip-hop music that was playing in Crystal’s car.

Crystal had so much fun wherever she was with Georgia as they both were youngsters who believed that life has to be lived to its fullness.

The music was so loud that Crystal lost a minute of conversation that almost got into an accident with a car that was coming eight in front of them.

Crystal developed sweat in her hairline and she parked in a corner of the road, while Georgia sat down inside the car.

“This is not going to spoil our fun today”, Georgia said this and both girls screamed out in happiness as Crystal started her car again and they headed to the mall.

When Crystal arrived at the mall, she checked for a parking space and stationed her car while they both came down and walked into the place.

It was such a beautiful place and the decorations were so nice.

It is a place she always loved to go to as it reminded her of her childhood days when her parents always took her there.

The laugher from the kids playing around and the different races that came there to commune was the greatest gift ever.

Georgia could locate their favorite spot and she averted her friend so that they could go there immediately before it got filled with people.

They both took the escalator going up to Capricorn restaurant as their bellies were already rumbling from hunger and exhaustion from walking the whole day in the shopping center.

Crystal glanced through a boutique as they walked past it going to the restaurant and she could not help but notice the beautiful dress that was hung on a model as it was viewable from the store’s clean glass doors.

” I like that dress Georgia, can we just make a stop in there?”, Crystal spoke to her friend thinking that he was still by her not knowing that Georgia was already in the restaurant comfortably seated.

Crystal cracked up as she had forgotten how much her friend cherished food.

“You are here and I was talking alone”, Crystal spoke as she entered the restaurant too and took a seat by her friend.

” I am sorry friend, but I had to hurry because my tummy can not take it for another minute without food”, she said moving her brows up and down accompanied by a childish smile.

A waiter had approached them with the restaurant’s menu and without looking at the menu for even a second, Georgia already had an idea of what she liked to order.

“I want a dessert with a glass of cold orange juice, while you get me grilled chicken breast with garlic sauce and some baked potatoes”, she ordered looking at me as though she wanted to order for me too.

Crystal asked if she wished to give her order and smiled at her funny gestures.

” No I do not but if you want me to, I might as well just do it for you friend even though you are complicated with your meals”, she spoke as her eyes ran through the menu again.

Crystal handing over the menu to the server asked for the same thing that her friend had asked for but with a glass of ginger juice for her instead.

The server left and some minutes later, he was back with the dessert and two glasses of chilled juice and he served them and left.

Georgia had to keep her mouth busy while waiting for the real deal because, at Capricorn restaurant, an order could take up to 30 minutes as though they had to go to the market to fetch the ingredients again.
