Arguing with Sapphire tired Jade. He was ready to give up on the argument, yet, he couldn't. Out of frustration, Jade faced the table like a bored student, being lectured by his mathematics teacher. Lucas on the other hand tried to make her understand.

"I don't think you guys understand what I'm saying!" She whined. "I have no relationship to BB Company whatsoever, and I don't need any shares! I don't know this Mr. Stephen Alejandro either! I don't need his money or his charity. Furthermore, I'm satisfied with the kind of life I live... Can't you understand me?"

"It's too late to wiggle out of this now Miss Teacher, You said that you knew him just now so why are you pretending?!" Jade fired up while his friend touched his arm to calm him down.

“Umm, I think you did acknowledge that you know him, ma'am,” Lucas explained.

Jade gave Lucas a dirty look of pride, for stopping so low to call her ma'am. It downgraded him. Lucas didn't notice any of these.

"Don't you know who the President of the United States is? You must have heard of Bill Gates, have you met these people? I know other prominent people in the world, but I don't expect them to know me in return."

"Then... You've never met him in person?" Lucas asked.

"Who? The President of the United States or Bill Gates? I haven't met these people personally, I've only seen them on television of course! You must have also seen them on television too! The chairman of BB Company is also on television and the radio sometimes, right? I'm not even a business person, so I'm not interested in your company! Why don't you believe me? I'm telling you, I don't know him!" She cleared.

"Alright then, sit down let's continue our conversation." Lucas smiled understandingly.

Both Jade and Sapphire were pissed, but they just had to sit.

"Um, this is not a mistake of any kind." Lucas expatiated... All of these bring nothing but pain and headache to Sapphire. She just grabbed a handful of her silky hair out of frustration.
"If you must meet these requirements, you will be the owner of these documents!"

"You know, those 'requirements' have been bothering me for a while. What are they?" She clutched her face and begged.

"Umm, well... Umm. They're umm, fortune..." Lucas tried to explain, but he couldn't find the words to use.

"Is it hard for you to tell me what the condition is?" She asked Jade who turned away anxiously. It was as if he had Gale hissed somewhere in his mouth. He couldn't swallow it yet, he couldn't spit it out.

"The condition is... You must get married to inherit it." Lucas said clearly.

"W...what? What did you say?" She asked quirking an eyebrow.

"If you get married to someone of the Chairman's choosing, you will inherit his fortune. Of course, the details of the proceeding will--"

"Wait, whoa! Hold up!" Sapphire closed her eyes and took in deep breaths. "So, this is kind of contract marriage stuff? I've only read of this in books and probably movies! For goodness' sake, I'm not even related to this chairman of yours so why am I involved? Perhaps, who does he want me to marry?" She asked, interested.

"Well, umm, the man that Mr. Alejandro has chosen is Mr. Jade Alejandro. If you're against that, however, the next person would be Ace Da--" Jade immediately stopped Lucas from talking any further.

"What? Just stop it already, could you?" Sapphire exclamations abruptly.

She huffed in disbelief. She tried to control her deep breaths once more. It was getting unbearable for her.

"OMG!" She turned to Jade and read the expression on his face.
"Wait! Are you that... Mr. Jade Alejandro by chance?" He raised his gaze at her, still fuming by her reactions.

"Wow! What a nightmare?!" Sapphire rolled her eyes at him.

"Same here, bitch!" He hissed at her and turned to the attorney. "Alright, what do we do now?"

"Mr. Jade Alejandro is the eldest grandson of Mr. Stephen Alejandro and the most closely related to him." Lucas tried to make Sapphire see why Jade was a cool guy to be with. "He is the CEO of Blue Bird Hotel for now, so... He's very capable. If he marries you--"

"Stop spouting nonsense!" The both of them stopped him at once.

"No way... Not now, not ever! Ugh!" She let out a soft sigh.

Jade turned to her... "What was it with that sigh just now?"

"It was a sigh of relief. At least we've agreed on something important. I don't have the slightest intention of marrying you!"

"What do you mean?" He asked her.

"What do you mean by what do I mean?" She replied as they shared awkward glances towards each other.

"What are you planning to do?! That's what I'm asking! You should have taken care of the marriage business when you seduced Grandpa!" He blurted out, hitting the table the way he used to do in his office.

Watching him do this made Sapphire terrible.

"By chance, do you have any learning disability?"

"W...what?" Jade stammered to her question, dumbfounded while Lucas covered his nose.

He couldn't help but chuckle at her words and actions. For some reason, he thinks Sapphire is the perfect girl for him.

"How many times do I have to tell you? I don't know your grandpa! Why would you accuse me of something I didn't do?"

It had been a long day. And the clock just stuck at 5:00 p.m. Jade and Lucas had to take their leave because it was already getting late. Their faces weren't friendly at all, especially the look on Jade's face. It looks as if he later swallowed the Gale in his mouth. He felt so offended by the visit.

"I think that she doesn't know anything about this," Lucas explained as they walked out of the school premises.

"You're not falling for her too, are you? Don't tell me that you believe all that she said." Jade muttered with a suspicious look at his friend.

"Well, I don't know if I believe her completely or not. But judging from what she's saying to how she acts... It seems she doesn't know." Lucas explained.

Getting to the car, Jade turned to his friend. "If you're trying to scam me, then do it properly! It's always the scammers that seem more believable!.... Like seriously, scammers!" Jade broke into laughter. Lucas laughed out loud as well.

"Scammers? No way! Judging from my experience, that teacher didn't know what was going on."

Jade wore an annoying smirk at his friend's words.

"That's why you're a lawyer and not a judge..." He hissed at him and got into the car. Lucas couldn't help but laugh even more.

"Hey, wait up man! Why are you so pissed?" They got into the car and zoomed off.

Tired of what just happened, Sapphire went into the staff room to rest a bit before going home. On the table, she saw a newspaper and decided to check on it. On the cover page, she saw the charming photograph of her very cute Gabby. As she read the front lines 'Gabriel Anderson, the Rising Star!'
A bright smile immediately lightened her face as she started reading the article.
