Chapter 18: 1.18 Young master Charles can't live without his Doll.
After reading the contents of the file, Connor threw it to his secretary and ordered, "arrange a meeting this afternoon. I want to meet the representatives of the project". Secretary Fin, who was walking behind of his president caught the file and nodded, "I'll arrange it right away".
He hurriedly went and pressed the elevator button. When the elevator door opened, he stepped aside to let his president enter in first. Connor walked in the elevator and said absent mindedly, "send the list of the new projects with their detailed information to my office. I want them before the meeting". Secretary Fin hurriedly nodded, "yes president".
Ting.
Connor nonchalantly walked out of the elevator, followed by his secretary. The chauffeur hurriedly opened the car's back door for his master. After Connor and secretary got in the car, the chauffeur sat in and started the engine. The car silently drove out of the underground parking lot of the building and entered into the busy streets.
Connor held his phone and indifferently read the text of his 'student' Rosalia, (I won the first position! I can't believe it!). He faintly smiled and sent a reply, (Congrats). Then he opened his mouth and said to his secretary, "Send a bouquet of flowers to Rose". The secretary immediately nodded and took out his phone.
He knew who his president was talking about. He wasn't surprise of the act, because he have recently seen his president giving more attention to the highschool student.
Even though he haven't seen the girl, he had heard about her. She was a normal highschool student of the No.1 highschool in city Lon. He was surprised that his president was wooing a highschool student.
Connor expressionlessly looked out of the window. After few minutes, he squinted his eyes and ordered, "Stop the car". The chauffeur immediately stopped the cad, surprising the secretary. Secretary Fin turned back and called out, "President?".
Connor looked at a particular direction. A short distance away from his car, a girl was walking on the road with the highschool uniform of Angels Academy. Her fiery red hair was tied into braids and left at the side of her neck.
One of her hand held a orange juice bottle, while the other held a phone beside her ear. She was walking in a slow and steady speed, as she lowered her head and spoke in the phone.
Connor opened the door and got down from his car. His secretary and his chauffeur were baffled, 'Why is president getting down on the way?'.
"What are you doing?Move!", a person roared from behind the car. The chauffeur waved his hand through the window and drove the car at the corner of the road.
"Ok ok. I'll not do it again. Can you stop now?" Mia rolled her eyes and said. It's been only 10 minutes, and her driver had already called her grandmother and gave her a brief explanation about her 'stupid' act.
Mia sighed and grumbled inwardly. She should definitely deduct her driver's salary if he kept on complaining things to her grandmother.
[I'm not saying it's wrong. But why did you sent Dan away with the man. You should have called a cab right?] Dyna's angry and worried voice resounded through Mia's phone. She was really frightened when Dan informed her that Mia was walking to highschool.
Mia rolled her eyes. She can't believe this grandmother of her's. She was 18 for Christ sake! And her grandmother was treating her like a 5 year old girl.
[Are you even taking care of yourself?! your driver told me that you drank orange juice as your breakfast?] Dyna asked in a worried and confused tone. Mia was frightened when she heard her grandmother, 'That man!.... Ahhh!'.
She held the phone away from her ears and stuttered, "He-hello, I-I can't hea-hear yo-you. He-hello". [Don't yo-] Mia immediately cut the call. Chuckling she mumbled, "Sorry grandma".
"You haven't change. Did you?". Mia turned back and was surprised. Furrowing her brows, she asked confusedly, "Why are you here?".
Connor shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Just taking a walk". If his secretary and chauffeur heard him, then they'll be frightened. Their president who never told a lie, was telling a big fat lie!
Mia nodded and didn't say anything. She looked at her phone and said, "K then. I'll be off". She turned to run away but Connor suddenly caught her wrist. Startled, Mia swiftly turned around.
"Are you free tonight?" Connor asked as he reluctantly let go of Mia's wrist. Mia furrowed her brows and asked, "Why do you ask?".
Connor lightly smile and said, "I want to take you out". Mia was taken aback.
The male lead wanted to take her out!!. 'Is he mad?' she thought to herself. She shook her head and said, "Sorry. I have night class, bye".
She immediately ran away from the man. 'Female lead would kill me if she saw the male lead taking me out!'.
Connor wanted to stopped the girl but he halted his action. He smiled and wryly shook his head, 'Same as before'. The girl was always trying to escape from his presence. He wondered whether he did something bad to her, other than that night.
The chauffeur silently drove the car and stopped beside his master. Secretary Fin got out and respectfully opened the back door, "President".
Connor nonchalantly got in the car. After getting in the car, he absent mindedly looked out. The chauffeur silently drove the car. Connor sighed and turned to his secretary, "Have I met Mia Addison before?".
Secretary Fin furrowed his brows, 'Mia Addison?'. He shook his head and said, "As long as I remember, President have only met CEO George, the old madam and the first daughter of the Addison family".
Connor then rubbed his thumb with the other and asked with interest, "How many young miss does the Addison family actually have?". Secretary Fin scratched his head and thought about it.
After few seconds, he turned around and said, "Four. The first miss is working in the foreign city, the second miss is studying in the Wings University of Atsa, the third miss is attending primary school and the last miss is studying in kindergarten".
Connor nodded and thought about it, 'Then who's Mia Addison? Didn't she say that she was the youngest sister of George?'.

Even though Mia reached her school gate, she didn't stop running. She only stopped after she saw the SD department a few meter away from her. She took heavy breaths as she mumbled, "Thank goodness".
She was really frightened back then. She didn't expect to meet the male lead on this busy day. After taking enough breaths, she stood straight and walked to her class building. Class 3F was at the ninth floor of the building, so Mia had to walk a lot of stairs.
While she was absent-mindedly walking upstairs, a male student suddenly stopped in front of her. Mia paused in her step and greeted the student, "Hi". The made student blushed and lowered his head, "I-I want to know your name".
Mia raised her head and found a few amount of male students standing upstairs. They quickly hid behind the walls when she looked at them.
Mia wanted to laugh, but she controlled herself. She looked at the boy in front of her and held out her hand, "I'm Mia. What's your's?".
The boy Shakily shook hands with her and stuttered, "B-Brain". Mia was confused, 'Brain? Is that a name?'.
She tilted her head and asked, "Brain? like human brain?". The boy immediately blushed and rapidly shook his head, "It-It's Brian".
He was embarrassed that he changed his name into brain.
Mia chuckled and said, "Nice". Then she stepped aside and walked upstairs. She gave a light pat on the boy's shoulder and said, "Let's meet some other day". After seeing Mia's smile, the boy felt so dizzy. He absent-mindedly nodded his head. He didn't hear what Mia said.
Mia walked up and found several boys standing at the side of the wall. They all stood straight like they were welcoming an important person. She slightly glanced at them and silently walked to her class. She didn't like these kinds of attention. It was too much.
"Did you see her? She's so beautifuuulll" a male student said after Mia disappeared from their view. If Catherine was called as Ice queen, then the new student would be an angel from heaven.
"And freaking hot!" he added. The others nodded to his words. The new female student was beautiful and also hot, perfect in everything.
"Did you hear her name?" one of the boy asked as he rapidly shook his friend's shoulder. He couldn't get to hear the girl's name."I think I heard her saying Maya", his friend said as he held his chin.
"Maya? Stupid! It's Mia" another boy corrected his friend. The other boys held their chest and mumbled at the same time, "her name is also beautiful".
After Mia got in the class, she first greeted Stephen, who happily greeted back. Then she greeted Robin, who surprising nodded his head. Mia was relieved that her classmates somehow acknowledging her presence.
She suddenly felt an intense stare behind her back. She turned back to find Sian and Yuvi smiling at her. She awkwardly smiled and nodded, which the girls aslo nodded back in smiles. 'Creepy...' she shivered and sat on her seat.
Mia turned at the side and found Catherine busily studying a book. She was really interested in this particular girl. The female student was beautiful and also had a good family background.
Catherine Rain, the only daughter of the Hill family in Atsa. Her father, Mr.Hill was the chairman of the food security corporation. He ranked 8th in terms of wealth with $288 billions.
He had only one woman as his wife, who gave birth to three children, Two boys and one girl. The eldest son was a famous business man while the second was a famous and strict Lawyer.
Mia was surprised that Catherine wished to become a Modeler and a dancer. She would have chosen Catherine, if she was the male lead. Catherine had the best character.
She was cold and distant to those who doesn't know her, while she was calm and soft to those who knew her. A best character suitable for marrying into the noble family and easily earning appreciation from the elders.
Mia swiftly turned her head when she saw Catherine glancing at her side, 'That was so close.....'. She sighed and readied for her class. She should only focus in her mission, none other than that.
"Leader!" "Leader!" "Leader!"
Mia was startled when Stephen, Robin, Sian and Yuvi stood up and called out the word Leader. She looked to the door and was shocked. 'The villain is a student of her class?!', she couldn't believe her luck. She gritted her teeth and grumbled inwardly, 'R*pist'.
She thought he was a student studying in different class, but nice! Her bad luck was always with her.
Charles stared at the glaring eyes and raised a brow, 'Why is she angry?'. He walked in the class and only stopped beside Stephen's seat. He slightly leaned on the desk and smiled, "Sit at the back".
Stephen was confused by the order. He turned back and then to his leader. Nodding his head, he saluted, "Ok leader".
He immediately took all his stuffs and went back. Charles then lazily sat on Stephen's seat. He leaned back and looked at the girl's back, who was sitting in front of him.
Mia shivered when she felt the intense stare. This time, it was not from the girls, but from the person whom she hated the most. She lowered her head and concentrated on her notes. Now how would she spent her boring classes?
Robin and the other girls were confused that their leader was changing seats. It was not unusual but it was rare to see Leader exchanging seats. Sian and Yuvi were the excited persons of all. They were sitting right beside their leader! How could they not get excited?!
"Good morning, Sweeties!" Miss Ruby greeted as she walked in the class with a glass of jar. The six students, apart from Charles chorus simultaneously, "Good morning miss Ruby". They were curious what their teacher brought with her.
The glass of jar was transparent, so they could see what was inside it. Few pieces of papers were folded and put into the jar.
"Wonderful! Now, I'm gonna ask one of you to come forward and pick a paper from the jar!" Miss Ruby said as she placed the glass of jar on the teachers desk. She grinned and looked at Robin, "Robin. Come on here sweety".
Robin stood up and went forward. He stepped on the podium and put his hands in the jar. After two seconds, he pulled out a small piece of folded paper. Miss Ruby clapped her hands and said, "Open it!". Robin calmly opened the paper.
ⓈⒾⒶⓃ.
Robin slowly raised his head and looked at Sian. Sian became nervous when Robin suddenly looked at her. She stood up and nervously shouted, "What?". Robin shook his head and turned to his teacher.
Miss Ruby laughed and patted Robin's shoulder, "Wonderful! Now you can go". Robin pursed his lips and went to his seat. He didn't know what was his tacher was planning to do.
"This jar is only for the boys...." Miss Ruby said as she pointed at the jar, from which Robin previously pulled out a paper. She grinned and said with excitement, "Now I want the remaining two boys to come forward and pick a paper".
Stephen immediately stood up and went forward. He was excited to know what name would he get. Miss Ruby looked at Charles and called out, "Charles....".
Charles lazily stood up and walked forward. While passing Mia, he mischievously pinched her arm, causing Mia to let out an inaudible gasp. No one saw what Charles did, because it was well hidden.
"Catherine?" Stephen said as he tilted his head and stared at the piece of paper. Catherine raised her head and expressionlessly looked at Stephen.
Miss Ruby immediately snatched Stephen's paper and looked at it. She scoffed and said, "It's Yuvi.....".
Stephen scratched his neck and said, "Hehehe...I think I left my eyes back at home". Miss Ruby waved the paper and said, "Go and sit". Stephen obediently stepped down and went to his seat.
Charles stepped up, turned to the jar and put his hand in. While doing so, Miss Ruby looked at her students and grinned, "Since you're whole afternoon class is dance, I have asked Mr.David and Mrs.Anitha to come and teach you how to dance with a partner".
Stephen immediately stood up and punched his fist toward the sky, "Yes!". Yuvi blushed and meekly lowered her head. Sian and Robin slightly frowned in dissatisfaction.
Catherine stopped what she was doing and looked ahead. Her cold eyes slightly soften and her lips curled into a faint smile.
Charles also paused his action. He looked at Mia and licked his lips, 'Mine'.
