Naysa bit her lower lip and looked at him. He was too sincere and serious as he said that statement. She personally didn't know things to go this first. Ridden started this whole drama of confession. She wanted to personally curse him for making her day difficult.
"Umm... What do you think of me?" Naysa asked, letting Pearl free. It jumped on the bed and looked up at her.
"Someone significant." Jemmy said, exiting the bedroom. Naysa followed suit and Pearl ran before them.
"If you need anything, give me a call. I have to go now." He said. As he stepped on the door, Pearl bit the tip of his trousers as if it was asking him not to go.
You eeh... This stupid dog, Naysa cursed inwardly. You're making my life more difficult. Let him go. If she could scream out loud, she could have done it, but she couldn't.
On the other hand, Jemmy looked at the dog, then at Naysa who looked confused. If it were any random dog, he would long have kicked it metres away, but he had personally got it for her, he just stood there. Pearl wagged it's tail.
"Now let go." She pulled the puppy and carried it in her arms. "Never mind, I... It's just a puppy." She said.
"What if it truly wants me to stay?" He asked with a calm face. Naysa nearly cursed. Was he trying to...? Huh! No.
"How... I mean... Where will you stay?" She now looked embarrassed. Jemmy looked at her calmly, then walked out and into the elevator. Stenson, who had been eavesdropping was left behind and had to take the stairs. Naysa waited until the cars disappeared, then she came out and rode to the university.
WAVE VALLEY UNIVERSITY
After arranging everything, she decided to go to the revision to think of all the day's events, then later she'll ride to her new resident house. She was followed by Pearl who had become so much attached to her in just a short period of time. She entered the hall and it was empty. She walked to the furthest corner adjacent to the resting benches outside. The sweet scent of the flower garden filled the hall and she inhaled deeply. The resting square was between the revision hall and the flower garden. The sweet scent swept across the benches and looking out, it was beautiful as the flowers bloomed. Naysa saw Lisa and her best friend Vivian sitting on the bench just next to the window she sat, hugging Pearl.
She really wasn't here to eavesdrop, but their conversation reached her and she listened.
"I hate her that much. I loved Ridden from when we first joined the university, but he had her eyes on her. Who does she think she is?" Lisa asked.
"But Lisa, there are many young and rich men not just here in school but also outside. Since you're this beautiful, you can get one of your own... You don't have to fight for Ridden." Vivian said.
"Are you dump? Ridden is the only son of the current mayor, and after school, he may stand a chance to be the president if he wins the elections. Who wouldn't dream of being the wife of the president?" Lisa asked.
"Roderick is also in politics. I heard his brother got hurt." Vivian said. After Lisa's effort to get Ridden proved futile, she decided to try on Roderick who was also handsome but too late Livia had won his heart.
"Who the hell do girls from room 306 think they are?" Lisa almost shouted. She was jealous and angry.
"Leave that, I saw the picture of the CEO of Red State Company, ooh my goodness, you should stop lamenting and try him." Vivian said, though inwardly, she wanted to try the same.
"I also heard that cars with the Grant's logo were spotted near the university twice. I wonder why." Lisa said. "I swear I will die for that CEO."
Naysa gasped and loosened hiler hand on Pearl who jumped out through the window and into the flower garden. So besides Ridden, Lisa had an interest in Jemmy? Well, she expected this but not too soon. After all every lady fantasied a love life with the great god in business, the handsome CEO.
'Lisa meet me as a rival everywhere you go." Naysa murmured to herself and walked out to get Pearl. She had to rotate the hall to the other side to get it.
Meanwhile, Lisa saw the puppy and admired it.
"Ooh my goodness! Whose cute puppy is this?" She asked, following it to the edge of the flower bed. Pearl went into the bed. Vivian stood besides her and the watched it. Soon, Naysa arrived. Lisa looked at her venomous eyes. Naysa just smiled.
"Why are you here?" She asked. Naysa didn't reply but called out for Pearl.
"Pearl we need to go now." She called out. Pearl ran out of the flower garden and went to her. She picked it up and smiled at Lisa and Vivian, the walked away.
"How? How did she get such a cute puppy? I thought she doesn't have money?" Lisa's mouth hung open.
"Probably she got a sugar daddy..." Vivian said.
