CHAPTER 10
Finally, the exhausting day is finished. That's what everyone thought of when Madam Zheng asked them to end for the day after dinner.
" Let's go home after dinner. We should take a rest and continue my itinerary plan tomorrow."
Everyone in the group got startled at the thought of resuming it tomorrow.
" Wait a moment, honey. It seems that my hearing got a problem. Did you just said we're going to continue tomorrow?"
" You heard it right, honey. We will continue tomorrow. Is there any problem?"
"Oh no! No, honey. Of course we will continue tomorrow. I am looking forward for tomorrow's itinerary. I even marked it on my schedule." He frantically said as he wiped off his sweat.
Everyone was haunted by the horrible thought of going for another round of shopping spree.
" So tomorrow's plan is set in stone already." Madam Zheng confirmed it to them.
"Mom, we already bought enough clothes, accessories and other things."
" No, we haven't yet. We only bought some suites, casual wears, sport clothes, neck ties, shoes, slippers, watches, handkerchief, bags and phone. You still don't have other gadgets, other type of clothes like for swimming, golf, cycling and other more."
Everyone was shocked at the list of Madam Zheng. Whoever listens to her blabbering about her list might faint at how long it is.
...
Second day of Madam Zheng's itinerary...
' It's so nice to have a lot of money but my mother likes to splurge on it.' Raynier thought of it as they went around the shops buying things from needed to necessary up to unnecessary.
Alexander Zheng, all he needed was swipe his card at every counter of the shop. As for Raynier Zheng, he needs to try to fit out things or just simply comment if it is good, or whatever it is.
At the end of the day, it would look like Madam Zheng plans to open another shop or boutique. Counting all the shopping bags they have, that's all you can think of... that is relocating the boutique to another place.
When Minerva Zheng was satisfied with her shopping sprees, she planned to go on holiday. They traveled to different locations with different recreational activities. Everyone was having fun; that's what you think when you travel around. That's just for a while, when you go there for leisure. But when you see someone who keeps buying souvenirs from every place that they've been to... I wonder how you can hold on. Just praise the queen so that you will have a better life.
They've been travelling for at least twenty-two days. When they got back, Raynier still had a week to prepare for his studies. His parents enrolled him at Regiis Orientem Lucis University. This is the most prestigious school in the world. Only elite people with high social status and someone who is smart enough to pass the entrance exam.
...
Riiiiing!!!
The bell rings, indicating that the class orientation will start soon. The students and school officers need to go to the indoor auditorium. Raynier Zheng wore a long white sleeves shirt top with a light brown cardigan and a dark brown coat. His pants were dark night blue Chinopants khaki style. His shoes were white with a touch of light brown, minimal sneakers style.
The design of his clothes looks simple. However, everything he wore was designer's brand or special tailored clothes. Well, if your mother drags you on a shopping spree for days, you'll know the answer to how his walk-in closet became a department store... that's what it looks like.
When he walked from the outside of the school gate going to the auditorium, a dozen pairs of eyes were looking at him. His well proportioned face all the way, how neat and, at the same time, stylish his clothes were, everyone was captivated by his looks.
After the opening ceremony of the school for the semester, everyone goes to their own classrooms for lectures. As the first day of the school semester, it's the standard routine of introducing oneself to everyone in the class.
As usual, some students know each other already. They were in clusters and created a group inside the classroom. They bicker around and some just sit alone in the corner, avoiding any communication or because it is just that they are not into socializing.
When Raynier opened the door, he caught everyone's attention. He tried to be as low key as he could. However, his appearance looked out of the ordinary.
" Do you know who is that guy?" A woman whispered as she asked her friends and pointed her finger to Raynier.
" Uh uh... no, if ever I knew about him, then you'll never have a chance." One of her friends answered back. They keep on staring at him until one of them got up and walked towards Raynier.
"Hey pretty boy~ My name is Chloe, surnamed Clarke. And you are?..." She said and gestured for handshakes to him. Raynier looked at her then the hand that is ready for handshakes.
"..." He passed her by and took a seat near the window. Everyone looked at Chloe, who was ignored. Out of shame, she shot a piercing gaze at the crowd who started whispering around as a warning sign.
" I dare you all to talk behind my back! And you! You have the guts to ignore me! I will let you know that your decision today was something you will regret!"
