Chapter 17
After the first lesson was over
Avyanna
(packing up her stuff)
Avyanna
(looks up to see a trio of two girls and a boy)
Eziah Hill
(staring at his friends)
Roscoe Reyes
I'm Roscoe. And this is Lorenza and this one here is Eudora.
Eudora Sanchez
Hi, Avy. You know I'm your hardcore fan. I've been your fan since the very beginning. Your songs are amazing, your TV shows are amazing, and the reality shows are just wow! You're a full package of beauty, intelligence and humor! I love you so much!!!
Avyanna
Well, I'm truly touched. Thanks for liking me. I'll make sure not to disappoint you with my new works.
Lorenza Aubrey Armitage
Well, I'm not really your fan, but I must say you have a magical voice. Your songs are next level.
Roscoe Reyes
C'mon, there's no one who doesn't like her songs. She is the treasure of the USA.
Avyanna
Now you guys are flattering me. (shy)
Avyanna
Thanks for the compliments, guys. It means a lot to me.
Eziah Hill
So if the flattering session is over, can we proceed to the next class?
Eudora Sanchez
C'mon, Eziah! Don't be rude!
Avyanna
Well, he has a point. Let's move to the next class before we are late.
Lorenza Aubrey Armitage
Not to mention, it's his class today. (smiles)
Roscoe Reyes
That's right! Today the President will take our class. Let's go!
Lorenza Aubrey Armitage
So you have taken multiple graduate programs? Which ones?
Avyanna
Econometrics and Quantitative Economics, Business Administration and Management, Creative Writing and Literature and Legal Studies.
Roscoe Reyes
That's great! Turns out we're in the same class for Legal Studies. And the lectures are given by the President as well.
Eudora Sanchez
Yes, and we're in the same class for Creative Writing and Literature.
Lorenza Aubrey Armitage
Don't be surprised. Many students who took Econometrics and Quantitative Economics are students who have taken the multiple graduate programs.
Eziah Hill
Four courses at once. Are you sure you can handle the load?
Avyanna
Yes, I've nothing to do at home. Might as well study till my brain can't function anymore.
Roscoe Reyes
And what about your songs?
Avyanna
Oh, they hardly take 10 mins. That's not a problem.
Eziah Hill
(saw) Well, the Professor is here.
As soon as the students saw the Professor, they stood up in respect and greeted him, "Good Day, Professor."
Avyanna
(surprised) (smiles) ' Well, he is giving me surprises as well. '
Casimir Ruford
Good Day, students. (eyes skimming through every students)
His eyes soon landed on Avyanna, who was sitting beside a boy, her eyes gleaming and a smile hung on her lips...
Casimir Ruford
(ears turned red) ' This is gonna be hard somehow... '
Casimir Ruford
Alright, let's begin with the lectures. Today we will be learning about Marketing.
After the classes ended, Avyanna bid farewell to her new friends and went to the parking lot towards her car...
And that was when she saw a silhouette leaning against her car...
Avyanna
(eyes narrowed) I believe this is my car, Mr. Chairman.
Ivan Cadell
Well, I also believe that I'm at the right place, Ms. Avyanna... Or is it alright if I address you as Constance Cadell?
Avyanna
No, I prefer Avyanna more.
Ivan Cadell
But it's your identity, you can't run away from the fact that you are a Cadell, twin.
Avyanna
You are wrong here. My identity is Avyanna, the name I made for myself. Constance Cadell is just a stain in my perfect life.
Avyanna
And I don't wish to have anything with the family that mercilessly threw away a 2-year-old baby on a harsh weather.
Avyanna
So if you would excuse me, Mr. Chairman. (puts on her shades)
As she advanced towards the driver seat of her car, a tug on her sleeve followed by a quivering voice made her freeze on the spot...
Ivan Cadell
Sister, you clearly know who it was! Are you going to hold it against me and Elvis?
Ivan Cadell
If not for the heart attack, I wouldn't be able to meet you even now. It was really hard for me to gain a little freedom from his clutches-
Avyanna
What heart attack are you talking about?
Ivan Cadell
Oh, I had one a week ago. My body reacts violently if something serious or dangerous happens to you.
Ivan Cadell
Were you critically ill last week?
Avyanna
Oh, we are twins, aren't we?
Avyanna
' How do I tell you that I died last week and travelled back in
time? '
Avyanna
(smiles) Well, I guess I'll hate the old man till my last breath. (ruffles his hair)
Avyanna
But I would appreciate it if you address me as Avyanna.
Ivan Cadell
Of course, as long as you forgive me and brother! (smiles)
Avyanna
What do you want to eat? I'll treat you to something nice. (unlocks the car)
Ivan Cadell
Then let's have Carbonara and Dim Sum. (gets in the passenger seat)
Avyanna
Alright, then let me take you to my favourite place. (drives away)
Casimir Ruford
(staring at her car driving away in his car)
And unknown to him, his hand was tightened on the steering wheel while his eyes were dangerously narrowed...
Ivan Cadell
Guess what I did today?📲
Elvis Cadell
Talked to Cici, I guess. (joking) (signing paper) 📲
Ivan Cadell
H-how did you know? 📲
Ivan Cadell
What's that nois-📲
Elvis Cadell
You really talked to Cici? 📲
Ivan Cadell
Yes, we even had lunch together! She took me to her favourite eating outlet, Silver House and treated me to Carbonara and Dim Sum! 📲
Elvis Cadell
Not only did you talk to her, but also had lunch together? What's this betrayal for!? It was me who was closest to Cici while she was here! I was her favorite! 📲
Ivan Cadell
But now you are not! 📲
Elvis Cadell
Ivan, you little- 📲
Elvis Cadell
... How is she?📲
Ivan Cadell
She is good. Just... She hates the Cadell family name. She hates Arthur Cadell. 📲
Elvis Cadell
As she should. It's not like either of us likes him. We were separated from our parents because of him, we were separated from Cici because of him. Because of him Cici never received familial love and had to stay in an orphanage even if she has a family...📲
Ivan Cadell
Brother, don't say anything more. You are in his supervision, remember. Let's hang out, just the three of us. I'll talk to Cici. 📲
Elvis Cadell
Okay. Take care of her. 📲
