“Guy, getting to the Vice Chancellor's office now is not feasible,” Stanley pointed out. “I will attempt.” “How? Will you jump over this heap of people?” “I will request to see my project supervisor.” “Let me try her number again,” Carmine volunteered. “I have tried it severally, but it was switched off,” Johnny emphasized. Then, the two gave him a concerned look when they noticed that he was distraught, and Stanley counseled, “I suggest that you take a break, Johnny. Her phone might be down.” “Or she turned it off to avoid embarrassing herself before the Vice Chancellor,” Carmine added. Now, Johnny turned and called out, “Let's go.” “Better,” Stanley supported, and they walked back towards the lecture halls. “I don't think there will be lectures today,” he announced. “You are right. Let us go home.” Stanley recommended. They walked towards the park and got into their car. Johnny drove off and imagined many things. The thought of Ruby spending a longer time than appropriate with the Vice Chancellor drove him crazy. Soon, they were at home. Stanley got out of the car and opened the door for Carmine, and she got down. To their unexpectedness, Johnny did not turn off his car engine nor did he attempt to get down. “What's up, guy?” Stanley inquired as he bent down and looked at him. “I want to get my Ruby,” he declared. Stanley looked at Carmine, who helplessly watched him as he drove off and squeezed her hand. She looked up at him and smiled softly. Then he consoled her, “Don't worry too much about them. They will be fine.” She nodded in approval, and he suggested, “You need rest. I will take you to the mall for a meal and afterward, you will take a rest.” “It is all right, dear. Thank you for your love.” Without waiting for Stanley's response, he drove off and headed back to the Administrative Block. Now, he was faced with another problem, a parking space. The available spaces had been occupied by the visitors who wished to see the Vice Chancellor, and there was nothing he could do. After a couple of minutes in his vehicle, he mumbled, “Why did these visitors choose to be here today?” He hissed when he saw the gridlock at the entry gate of the school. “If only I can have my Ruby, the Vice Chancellor can have all the visitors he wishes to have.” Then, he recalled the event of the previous night and wrinkled his face. Unexpectedly, he took a bold step. He drove speedily to the vestibule while honking continuously, which made the visitors run helter-skelter, and he got his way. Nevertheless, he had an advantage, his car was not a common one. His offense was overlooked, because they thought that it was one of the city higher-ups, who wished to see the Vice Chancellor. They made way for him, and he parked in the vestibule. Then, he got out of at once and headed towards the Vice Chancellor's office. “How may I help you, Young Master?” One of the security guards inquired. Johnny used a tactic that would stupefy the visitors. “I wish to see my Project Supervisor. I have waited for three hours but to no avail because of the visitors.” Now, the visitors, who were aware that they were not supposed to be there, had to adjust and make way for him. “It all right, Young Master. I apologize for the inconvenience,” the security guard said, and he walked on. Soon, he was at the Vice Chancellor's office. He barged in and gave the secretary a perfunctory greeting, and ignored the visitors. He pushed the VC's door open and scanned the office for a few seconds. Nevertheless, before the VC could look up, he had shut the door and left with a mixed feeling. “Where could she be?” He asked himself while walking back. He got into his car and dialed her number again, but it was still switched off. Then he called Stanley and he picked up his call. “What's up, guy?” he asked. “Is Ruby at home?” “No. Why did you ask?” “I have checked the VC's office, but she wasn't there.” “The VC's office? How did you penetrate?” “I will see you later,” he promised, and cut the call. Then, he stared at the windshield and asked himself, “How can I go back to my room without my Ruby?” After a few minutes of meditation, he came up with the only alternative he had - his office. He had avoided it for a while because of his grievances against his parents. That day, instead of returning to his lonely room, he preferred to go to his office and allow his aching head to cool down. “I don't know how many of these silly girls would come to interrogate me over their fertility status,” he thought aloud, and instantly, he zoomed off. He was lucky to leave through the exit gate that was free of congestion before the Vice Chancellor decided on the visitors. After a forty-five minutes’ drive, he was at the complex. At the Stewart Group of Companies “Boss, you sent for me," Joel announced after he walked into Sir Stewart’s office. Although he had many things to discuss with him, the issue that was paramount in his mind was the pregnant girl. “Yes. Take your seat.” “Thank you, Boss,” Joel appreciated and sat down in front of him. Then Sir Stewart continued, “I got a report that trespassers are disturbing at the Cashew Island.” “I got it, Boss.” “That's good. Get in touch with the security officer there and get the complete report of the situation and report back to me.” "I will do that right away, Boss.” “It is all right. You can leave.” Joel got out of the office and headed to the security team's office on the first floor. Before he could take his seat, he sighted Johnny’s car in the backyard rather than his official parking space. “Why is this car here?” He asked worriedly. Instead of asking the security officers who may not have the right answer about the car, he chose to inquire from his boss. “Could the car be faulty?” He mulled over. “I will be back," he announced and excused himself. “It is all right, Joel," The Chief of the Securities of the organization, Mr. Alex Meyer, who was waiting to hear his reason for coming, responded. Soon, he was on the tenth floor of the eighteen-story building, which Sir Stewart selected as his office. Then, he waited to get a signal from him before he walked into his office.
