In the midst of the bustling campus atmosphere, two young men, Jack and Eric, sat on a park bench surrounded by lush trees."What do you think about that loser?" Jack asked, leaning back against the bench. He waved his hand as if to brush Sean out of his mind."You mean Sean?" Eric replied, squinting as if trying to recall their rival’s face."Yeah, who else?" Jack responded sarcastically, raising an eyebrow."Huh, I don't think he'll dare to come back to campus after we chased him off!" Eric added, laughing at the thought of Sean's defeat."Ha-ha, he must be confused trying to find a place to stay after we kicked him out!" Jack joined in the laughter, his voice echoing between the campus buildings."Serves him right!" Eric continued, his face still showing anger. "Who told him to mess with my relationship with Bianca? He even had the nerve to challenge me!""Calm down, Bro," Jack said in a soothing tone. "I've got your back. Bianca is beautiful and pretty popular. We can't let her fa
Sean regained his wealth. After nearly 20 years of living in poverty and disgrace, those who once mocked and belittled him were now silent, unable to say anything against Sean's remarkable success.Sean enjoyed the comfort of his luxurious room located on the top floor of his apartment. From the large window in his room, he could see the glittering cityscape at night. The room was furnished with luxury items, including a king-size bed with silk sheets, a plush leather sofa, and advanced technology that made his daily life easier.Jeny, a woman who previously looked down on and often belittled Sean, came to his luxurious apartment. With a sweet smile, she invited Sean to have a drink, perhaps hoping to take advantage of his newfound wealth. However, Sean, now wiser, declined the invitation. He realized that he had to be cautious with everyone now, as they might change their tune just because they knew about his wealth.That afternoon, Sean sat comfortably on his leather sofa, enjoying
After the dinner incident and Eric and his friends' eviction, Sean still had to think about how he would live moving forward.Julian offered help, but Sean refused. He had to handle everything himself so that not many people would know about his current status.In the morning, Sean spent time looking for a suitable place to live. The Diamond Apartments seemed like a good fit. Not only was it close to campus, but it was also known for its exclusivity. However, the price was very high.So, most likely, none of his friends would be living there.Sean went to the apartment's marketing office."Do you need my help?" Julian looked at Sean’s face, which seemed so determined to buy a luxury apartment near his campus immediately."Good morning, sir. How can I help you?" asked Jeni, the marketing agent on duty that morning."I want to take a look at the apartment units here," said Sean."Are you looking to rent an apartment here?" asked Jeni. She was a beautiful blonde woman, only 25 years old.
Jack and Eric threw all of Sean's belongings out of the room. No one dared to stop them. They were afraid of becoming the targets of Eric's gang's cruelty."Get rid of all his stuff. Leave nothing behind!" Jack ordered some frightened freshmen to throw out Sean's clothes.Sean arrived at the dormitory. He was shocked to see his clothes scattered on the stairway."Hey, here's our loser," Jack mocked Sean while looking at Eric."What are you doing?" protested Sean."Seal the door, Jack!" Eric now faced Sean himself while Jack carried out the order."You have no right to do this to me!" Sean tried to get past Eric to stop Jack, but Eric shoved him back down."Never come here again, especially not to show your face to my girlfriend, or I'll ruin your life!" threatened Eric."You!" Sean tried to stand up to fight back, but Jack, who had locked the door, came over and punched him in the face.Jack spat after punching him. "Come on, Jack!""Don't give him a place to stay, or you'll end up li
Sean lifted his head, his eyes sharply focused on the man standing before him. "Who are you?" he asked, his tone firm but full of confusion.In front of him stood a striking man with a confident posture and an air of self-assurance. The man was dressed in an immaculate black suit, which looked expensive and elegant, adding a professional and authoritative impression to his appearance. He smiled faintly, as if aware of Sean’s confusion but unaffected by it."I'm Julian, an envoy of Mr. James O'Connel," the man replied in a deep, calm voice. There was something in the way he spoke that made Sean feel Julian was no ordinary person. The name James O'Connel didn’t ring any bells for Sean, and he felt even more bewildered.Sean furrowed his brows, trying to search his memory for any clues. "I think you have the wrong person," he said firmly, attempting to ensure that the man in front of him had not mistaken him for someone else.Julian showed no signs of confusion or doubt. Instead, he rema
Sean decided to work hard for Bianca. He knew that to achieve his dreams and make Bianca proud, he had to strive harder than usual.Every morning, Sean diligently attended his lectures. He sat in the front row, listening to every word the professor said. His notebook was filled with neat handwriting, indicating how serious he was about his studies. His friends often looked at him with admiration because, despite being busy, Sean remained focused on his lessons.In the evenings, Sean worked at a busy café in the city center. He served customers with a smile, even though his body was tired after a day of classes. The sound of the coffee machine buzzing, the aroma of coffee wafting through the air, and the chatter of customers formed the backdrop as Sean busily cleaned tables, served drinks, and took orders. His coworkers appreciated his hard work, and the café manager often praised him for his high dedication.In the afternoons, when he had free time, Sean didn't waste it. He looked for
Bianca met Sean outside the café where Sean worked as a waiter. The weather was clear that day, but Bianca's mood seemed gloomy. She stood upright, wearing a pastel-colored summer dress that fluttered softly in the evening breeze. Her long hair, slightly wavy, was tousled by the wind. Her usually cheerful eyes now looked sad and full of uncertainty.Sean, in his simple waiter’s uniform, had just stepped out of the café’s back door, wiping sweat from his forehead after a hard day’s work. His white and black uniform was a bit wrinkled, and his black shoes were dusty from the day’s activities. His face, usually bright, now looked tired, but he still managed to smile when he saw Bianca.With a serious expression, Bianca spoke directly, without any small talk. “Sean, I want to break up with you!” she said firmly, her voice steady despite a slight tremble indicating the turmoil in her heart.Sean was shocked and raised his eyebrows. “Break up?” he asked, his voice filled with disbelief. He
At one o'clock in the afternoon at the boys' dormitory, the atmosphere was quiet and still. The usually noisy and active students were now either napping or busy with their own activities in their rooms. However, in one corner of the dormitory, the atmosphere was different. From room number 207, a sudden commotion broke the midday tranquility.Inside that room, Sean was surrounded by a few older boys. They were a group of students who enjoyed bullying the weaker ones. Sean, a strong and well-trained martial artist, was cornered. His hands and feet were tied, and his face was tense but trying to stay calm."Now you know the consequences of refusing to be our errand boy, Sean," one of them sneered. He hit Sean hard, causing him to fall to the floor.Sean felt immense pain but tried to endure it. He knew that if he fought back, the situation would escalate, potentially leading to harsher punishments for both him and them. So, Sean chose to hold back, even though his heart burned with ang
James and Mia sat in one of the rooms of their apartment, located in the heart of a bustling city. Outside, the faint sounds of city life could be heard, but inside, their conversation was filled with intimacy and honesty.James began the conversation with a serious tone. "Mia, I'm starting to get tired of life in the big city," he said, his eyes staring out the window at the view of tall buildings.Mia looked at him with full attention. "Haven't you always managed to get through all those problems?" she asked gently.James nodded slowly. "Yes, it's true that I can handle everything, but you should know, sometimes I feel weary.""Weary?" Mia repeated, trying to understand her husband's feelings."Yes, I also deal with arrogant people and stressful situations every day," James continued, his voice starting to soften.Mia gave a small smile, trying to encourage him. "Come on, James, you have a lot of strengths to counter all those people."James took a deep breath. "I wish my life could
