THE ANTHONY’S MANSION**
Reed got down from the car and immediately Chloe,his kid sister rushed out
“Brother!!” She shouted and hugged him
“You look so big now” Reed chuckled and carried her up
“Oh stop,you only left for a couple of months not years,and besides I’m fourteen,you don’t expect me to be small” Chloe said
Reed chuckled and dropped her
“You don’t have to carry her like a kid anymore” Mrs Anthony smiled as she showed up
“She’s still my kid sister” Reed said
“You heard that,I’m his top one baby,but the only thing I’m angry about is that,he missed my birthday” Chloe said
Reed hugged his mom
“Welcome son,what’s wrong? You look…quite thin” Mrs Anthony said
“Maybe it’s the exam stress” Reed replied before turning to Chloe
“I promised you a gift” Reed said as they walked in,a maid already helped him with his bag
“Less I forgot,you promised me you will get a girlfriend before coming home again,so,do you have a girlfriend now?” Chloe asked and Reed chuckled
“Really son? You finally got a girlfriend?” Mrs Anthony smiled
“No..I didn’t” Reed muttered
“Why? Did she reject you? You told me you like her alot” Chloe pouted
“Yeah,she like someone else” Reed smiled
“Why are you smiling? You’re sad” Chloe said
“I’m fine” Reed said
“Of course you should be,to me,my son is the most handsome in the world,so don’t worry,you will get someone” Mrs Anthony rub his hair and he nodded with a smile
“Where’s dad anyway?” He said
“You’re welcome young master!!” The maids chorused excitedly
“Thanks” Reed waved at them before facing his mom back
“Work,you should take a rest before he arrives. The maids will get you something to cool down while waiting for dinner” Mrs Anthony said
“I missed you so much” Reed said cutely hugging her again
“Me too son,it’s so good to see your face again” Mrs Anthony said and pat his back
After the hug,he went upstairs and entered his room,

“Hey dad” Reed said as he joined them for dinner
“Hope you have a nice rest” Mr Anthony said,smiling
“Yes” Reed nodded
“Brother is so handsome” Chloe said and Reed chuckled
“Are you teasing me?” He asked
“No,you’re really handsome” Chloe said
“Don’t go around telling other guys that” Reed said
“Oh please” Chloe roll her eyes
“Eat son,we got something important to discuss” Mr Anthony said
“Okay” Reed nodded
AFTER DINNER**
“Dad” Reed called as he joined Mr Anthony in the living room
“Have a seat” Mr Anthony said and adjusted his glasses
Reed sat down
“In about two weeks or less,there’s going to be a business trip among some big companies and we are not left out” Mr Anthony started and Reed nodded
“The trip is mainly for a reason,we all have to present our heirs,I mean just like you will be taking over once you’re out of school”
“Oh” Reed muttered
“You mean,I’m coming with you?” Reed asked and Mr Anthony nodded
“During the trip,there’s going to be a contract share,I’m not really worried,you know our company is absolutely one of the best but our only rival is the RT group own by the Roberts”
“Why?” Reed asked
“They are more influencing than us,but I don’t think there’s a heir coz i’ve never heard about him,If there is,we won’t stand a chance as the top 1,for now we are in number two” Mrs Anthony explained
“How sure are you that even without the heir,we stand a chance to be number one?” Reed asked
“I know son,this is business. You really have alot to learn” Mr Anthony said and they both laughed
A maid came to serve them some wine while they talk

“Seriously? Are you here because you’re missing me already?” Brayden asked
“Of course,am I not allowed to miss my friend?” Sawyer asked
Brayden held her waist,staring into her eyes.
“What” Sawyer mumbled also staring at him
“Am I just noticing?” Brayden asked
“Notice What?”
“You’re pretty” Brayden said and her cheeks turned red

She turned to go but Keith grabbed her hand and she immediately faced him back as if she wanted that
“What are….” She couldn’t finish when Keith pulled her closer and slammed his lips on hers
Romina’s eyes widened and she released a gasp into his mouth making Keith to gain more access to her mouth.
Keith broke the kiss and stare at her eyes
“Stop acting surprise and let me enjoy the kiss” He muttered and Romina blinked her eyes twice but then nodded
Keith smiled and kissed her again,this time she kissed him back.
Keith pulled her even more closer to himself,deepening the kiss.
They broke the kiss and Romina bite her lips
“Remember that until we are back to school” Keith winked at her before walking away
