I smiled. "Don''t call me Mr. White. Call me William in the future."
"How could I do that?"
"Why not? I came to Welsington for college to keep my identity a secret and make some friends who weren''t here to score a share of my power. If I cared about how people addressed me, I wouldn''t be here."
Lynn was surprised. She said, "That exins it. You''re really flying under the radar. You didn''t even have a car."
"I have a car. However, I couldn''t be bothered to drive it. If I did, I would''ve needed to find a ce to park as well as a mechanic to maintain it. It''s too much trouble. As a student, it''s easier to call a cab when I need it.
"Lynn, we''ve got to prioritize Riley now. Why don''t you apany her to the psychologist''s for a checkup today?"
Lynn nodded solemnly and agreed, "Got it. Don''t worry. I''ll take her there in the afternoon."
She adored Riley. I wasn''t afraid she would ck off.
However, she had gone through a lot herself and was probably exhausted. I thought for a moment before saying, "How about this? I''ll give you a week off. During this period, unless something happens to the bar which requires your presence, you don''t have to fret over this. Take a break and apany Riley at home."
"Thank you, Mr. Whi-William."
I smiled and said, "You know I''m trying to keep things secret, so you mustn''t leak my identity. In addition, I might visit your bar often. To prevent people from feeling suspicious, I''ll take up a job as a part-timer. You get me?"
Lynn was intelligent. She nodded immediately and said, "Don''t worry. I know what to do."
"Great. You should go home now. I need to make a trip to a friend''s ce."
After saying our goodbyes, I went back to the hotel to meet with Benjamin.
When I got there, I saw many people entering the hotel. My friends had finished their meal. However, there
were a few people bestowing them with gifts.
"I''m a representative of Aurora Jewellers. Here''s a pair of gold earrings!"
"I''m a representative of Borealis Crystals. Here''s a diamond ne."
"I''m a representative of Ebony Makeup. Here''s a set of facial products."
Everyone, including Tiffany herself was stunned.
They didn''t even have time to discuss what was happening. There were too many peopleing to give various things. A line had formed.
"William''s here!"
Matthew noticed me and walked up to me, "Damn, William. What''s going on? This wasn''t your doing, was it?"
I smiled and said softly, "I lied to Damian and said that if he didn''t apologize to Benjamin and Tiffany, I would continue sending people to beat him up. He was terrified and came over to apologize."
"Really?"
Matthew wasn''t aplete idiot. I couldn''t fool him so easily.
"Damian is the nephew of the leader
of Dragonshade Society. He''s seen many things, and upies a
powerful societal position. Would he be fooled by a few part-tim
actors?"
I coughed, but failed to find another reason. I could only say, "Perhaps he''s a bit
stupid!"
