Chapter #56

Reid rubbed his face water rough. He was still a bit worried about his conversation with Noah. He clearly knows, if the TTS children have a very family background that cannot be underestimated.

Angus Lawton, heir to Lawton Group. One of the three most influential tech, information, retail and entertainment companies in the Americas and parts of Europe and Oceania.

Axle Bru, the main and only heir of the Golden Alpha Group. It is the largest oil, aviation, and aircraft fuel provider, with contracts with 78 international airlines and 191 domestic airlines in the United States.

Plus, an Irvine Wu. Rumor has it, he is the son of two of the richest and oldest conglomerates in the country of Sakura. Two families, one of which, according to rumors, became the main investor and largest shareholder in finance, technology, investment, and banking sectors as far as mainland China.

While this is himself? Only a child who grew up in an orphanage without knowing who the biological parents were and or at least from which race he came from.

Indeed indeed. Still somewhat lucky actually, when Aunt Skyle managed to save the pendant engraved his birth name from the hands of Jett Keagan. Otherwise, I don't know what series of letters will become his identity name now.

Evidently. The odds were definitely super small for Aunt Skyle to name her using a similar name as he had all along used. Even if both with the first name ‘Reid’, of course the price will end as ‘Harrison’ and not ‘Cutler’.

“You're done with lunch?”

Reid's reverie stopped. The figure he had been waiting with a feeling of being tossed around since then finally appeared as well. He was not at first thought to send a message, let alone check how Leonna is.

But, because of Noah and or maybe, ‘bless’ Noah. He likes to not like, to feel anxious because he does not know how the girl surnamed Milekova is. Moreover, after the super absurd incident they were both in the first hour of rest. How could he possibly be willing even if just a little to happily ask about Leonna's latest news?

“I've. And you, Reid?”

Reid was silent for a moment. He looked seriously at Leonna from top to bottom, bottom to top. After it was felt that there was nothing wrong with Leonna's condition, he then heaved a sigh of relief. Then answer the interlocutor's question, “I have also.”

“Really? Thank you then.”

The air pressure and temperature around Leonna slowly felt so awkward. He was clearly too eager to approach Reid, now so confused himself what to do.

Sure do. It was Reid who contacted him first. But, with Reid not also starting the conversation, what can he do? Just keep waiting, right? Although, it is not wrong if he opens the voice first. However, how? His heart rate is too noisy now.

“So, puti—”

Reid and Leonna are super lightning. Then despite severe groggy, Reid again continued his sentence piece, “—are you okay? No more stomach pain? Back pain? Or any other pain?”

Leonna's cheeks are getting together. He did not expect Reid would send him a message and asked to meet him just to start their conversation with the question ‘is he okay?’.

“My stomach is still a little sore and my back is also still a little sore. But, seriously. I'm fine.” Reply Leonna try as soon as possible.

“Good if you've improved enough and no other serious problems,” Reid smiled clumsyly. Obviously this is not what he wanted to say. But, yes, that's it. At least the atmosphere around Leonna and herself could now be a little more relaxed.

“But, you were still strong until the last lesson, right?”

“Take it easy. I'm not that weak.” Said Leonna while chuckling amusedly.

Reid's face suddenly turned as red as a tomato. He became even more embarrassed when a group of girls stepped out of the cafeteria. Not because of what. Laughter and screams were not good for the girls who made her image in Leonna's eyes feel a bit silly.

“Stop laughing,” Desis Reid upset.

“...Okay.” Lonna answered me with flowers.

Leonna and Reid take a thousand steps toward the place that Reid thinks is most comfortable and safe from public view. Yup. Back garden of school. Strategic location other than the school roof he used to linger and sometimes, um, ditching.

“So, what do you want to talk about? What is it about skit show tomorrow, math tutoring schedule, or something else?”

Leonna's two index fingers are in a groggy relationship. Lucky when he and Reid get to this seemingly poorly maintained place, the handsome guy reflexes instantly takes off his grip. Otherwise, the state of the two of them right now would definitely be badly awkward. Also, he would not have possibly dared to open his voice first.

“Itu—”

Reid massaged his neck with a sash. He suddenly felt insecure to recount his conversation with Noah in the fourth lesson. He then after pulling a breath for a while. Then said super carefully, “—what in the third lesson earlier, your teacher said something?”

Leonna's forehead is thickly wrinkled. As he remembered, there was something strange when he came late and was welcome to sit down without being interrogated first. But, is that something bad?

“Nothing. He just told me to sit down and not ask at all,” Lonna replied while shaking her head slowly. “What happened? I mean, are you maybe even punished? Not allowed to take lessons?”

Reid's facial water was half shocked and half relieved. He then said as quietly as possible, “No. I was also told to just go in. No questions or anything. It's kind of weird, isn't it?”

The furrow on Leonna's forehead turned two-fold thicker. He did not know what to respond to Reid's explanation. He thought, this tall guy who might have asked for a late dispensation permit or something, to each of their teachers earlier.

And therefore, he could not have any burden until now.

“So, you mean that you did not ask permission for me and yourself to be allowed to come late?” Ask Leonna. Bite the lower lip of the inside quite roughly.

“No,”

Reid looked at the two blue irises of Leonna's sapphire closely. He looked seriously, then resumed his sentence, “I did not ask permission directly. I just send my regards to Noah to inform how you and I are doing to the picket teacher.”

Leonna stopped biting her rough lips. He seemed to have heard the name, but where, he also did not remember. “Noah?”

“Chairman of school basketball team.” Relaxed Reid response.

“Then, doesn't that mean thanks to Noah we're both not punished?” Leonna asked with a clumsy smile. Rather afraid actually he, to listen to Reid's response after this. But, how will you? He's much more curious now.

Reid's face turned even more bland. He was very grateful for Noah's help. However, if the actual incident would be as complicated and not as fun as this. It would feel a million times more mending, if he never asked for help on ‘Noah not becus’ it.

“I think so. But, the thing is,” Reid downed his saliva with great difficulty. Then explain again with one breath, “Noah does not ask permission directly. He asked for the help of the Chairman and Vice Chairman of OSIS.”
