...CHAPTRE 4...

...THE GOLDEN MONEY'S...

As ordered by Daniel, Rosaline and Reagan write the surname 'Smith' behind their names. Daniel says they just write his surname on the re-list form, the rest of his acquaintances will take care of.

"We met at the stop in an hour" Reagan recalled and was given a nod by Rosaline.

After that they parted ways, going towards their respective faculty buildings. Rosaline went towards building a faculty of architecture and construction while Reagan went to the faculty of business.

"Too big's. I'm not sure I can get there without getting lost" Rosaline said. His head felt twisted as he tried to remember his route to the architecture and construction faculty building.

As her feet stepped into the corridor, Rosaline's emerald iris moved to the right and to the left, sweeping around as if familiarizing her eyes with the new environment. His chest rose and fell to coincide he inhaled deeply the scent of mint in the corridor.

"Oh gosh, the smell reminds me of Julian," Rosaline muttered involuntarily revealing a small smile on her pretty face.

It was only a few days before he left his native land and Julian was alone there. Now, the desire of homesickness and Julian stirred in his heart. She wanted to go home and ran to hug Julian.

However, it cannot. While he was studying in England there was one other thing he had to do with Reagan. He must not forget their primary purpose which was originally for education turned into 'finding out what Julian was hiding' from them.

Yep. What Julian hides is to the point that they have to write Daniel's surname behind their name and consider themselves to be members of the Smith family. Not Vreaa or Torres.

"If it's Torres I don't matter, but Smith. Ah, that's it."

When Rosaline stopped at the end of the corridor, she saw three female students sitting not far from her. They were seen chatting, then he walked there and sat right next to the three of them.

"Do you know, I heard there's a golden money boy here."

Rosaline glanced at the three women next to her who were conversing. From where he sat, he heard one of them say something he did not understand. The golden money.

What is the golden money? Think Rosaline.

"So that's right? I heard it too I thought it was just a rumor."

"I wonder who they are. I hope he's a man, even better if he's in our faculty. That way I can see it all the time."

"You must want to get close to him, right?"

"of course. Who wouldn't want to be with a member of the golden money like him."

"If she's a girl how? You still want to get close to him?"

"Eww, no! I'm straight, hell!"

This time Rosaline was really focusing her attention on them, not stealing glances anymore as giggling sounds rang out from them.

Out of curiosity, Rosaline walked up to them and interrupted, "what is the golden money?" He gasped for himself as the three women's eyes looked at him, "sorry I overheard your conversation earlier. I was completely unintentional" he said in fear.

The three women smiled before giggling. "Oh no dear, it's okay. Only our voices are too loud. Sorry for bothering you" one of them replied.

"Are you not English?"

Rosaline shrugged her shoulders. Honestly, he doesn't know what to answer. His father was British and his mother was not. Maybe he could be called a blaster?

"No" he answered.

"You don't know the golden money" they said.

"What is golden money?" Rosaline asked, repeating her initial question that they had not answered yet.

"Well. Honestly, we don't really understand what the golden money is" he explained, shaking his head, making a twinkle in Rosaline's eyes increasingly fade when he heard his statement.

The three women looked at the disappointed look on Rosaline's face, before quickly adding, "but clearly the golden money is a designation for the syndicate of wealthy conglomerates in England, and you can't change my mind. The members, they are all very rich!"

...•—— ⁠✿ —— •...

"Daniel, do you know what the golden money is?"

There was a 'clontang' sound from the silver tableware after Rosaline's question was asked. The twins who had initially eaten quietly raised their gaze, looking towards Daniel who had apparently dropped his spoon.

"Why you?" Ask Reagan ketus. He watched the grown man in front of them bend over to pick up his spoon that fell to the floor.

Daniel. He shook his head in response and immediately said that he was fine. He was only slightly surprised when his tongue met the food he had just cooked a few minutes ago, evidenced by his blushing tongue.

"What did you say, Rosie?" He chuckled softly at the end.

After a few days they stayed at Daniel's house. The guy starts calling them Rosie and Reggie, and both are no problem.

At the beginning of the meeting, they offered Daniel to call them by that nickname.

That way, they both feel like home.

"I said do you know what the golden money is?" This time, his voice sounded full of emphasis.

"Do you know where that is?" Daniel asked curiously. He blew his food out first before putting it in his mouth and chewing.

"Eitherway. Some of the students in my faculty talked about it and I accidentally heard them. So I wonder now, what is the golden money?"

Her emerald iris looked fixedly at Daniel who seemed to think whereas when Rosaline turned to look at Reagan, the man looked unconcerned. It was as if his attention was halved, half paying attention to them and half not.

Reagan was busy filling his mouth with food.

"Well I just know that it's a term for a syndicate of rich conglomerates in England. I've seen some of his members on television" Daniel explained, putting a mouthful of food back in his mouth.

Rosaline frowned. Within a day he had gotten the same two answers and somehow his heart still felt unsatisfied. Something was strange, but he himself did not know what it was.

After dinner, the twin brothers returned to their rooms. Get ready for the class to begin in a matter of days, leaving Daniel alone downstairs with a phone handle stuck to his ear.

"He knows. He knows about the golden money."

"[You sure? You sure you didn't hear wrong? Maybe that doesn't mean the golden money?]"

The words of the person across the phone reflect to make Daniel shook his head. Even though someone who was on the phone with him could not see his head, Daniel still did.

"I'm one hundred percent sure I didn't hear wrong. He just asked me that."

There was a long pause from the person across the phone to answer. Daniel, he subconsciously bit his nails. An instant of nervousness enveloped his body as he waited for a response from the person on his phone.

"[For now, please just keep an eye on them. I'm gonna find a way to keep them both from the golden money shit! I can trust them to you, right, Daniel?]"

"of course. You don't have to worry about them. They're safe with me, Julian."
