Chapter 282 - Meghan
It is just a five hours journey to country D, Meghan is already waiting for Jean when she exited the airport.
"Oh... Jeannie you become little bit fat" Meghan squealed. She is always like this....more concerned about others beauty, if there is a competition to select the most self righteous person then she would be the first person to win the title.
Other than this she is good enough to befriend with. "Oh....I just got carried away by the delicious food back to home" Jean giggled. Scott’s culinary skills have improved a lot that she is finding it difficult to resist the urge to eat more.
But she didn’t gain much weight that a person could identify it one look. It is just for her friend’s satisfactions that Jean didn’t deny her words.
"New Car" Jean eyed at maroon Volkswagen and asked Meghan.
"Yeah, my dad gifted it when I got placed in top fifty of our department. He is so proud of me you know....." Meghan beamed as her eyes twinkled with happiness that Jean is yearning since her childhood.
She has Scott and her brothers who pamper you dote on her thousand times better than this, but it is totally a different feeling to get praised by parents. How good it feels to see the parents beam and talk proudly about the accomplishments of their children. Jean is the first ranker in the department but sadly she don’t have parents to feel proud of it..
"Hey you fine" Meghan tugged her arm. Jean came back to her senses and smiled sadly.
"Nothing Megh, let’s go. Come on" Jean helped Meghan to carry her luggage inside the car.
They chatted about random stuff including their upcoming exams and projects. In middle of their chat, Meghan suddenly asked Jean.
"Hey, our farewell party will be after six months from now. It is mandatory to bring our families with us. At least then, can we get to see your family or not"
According to her and Scott’s future plan they will be married by then and also her identity as CEO of INA will be revealed. So, she no longer can be a ordinary student. "May be.." Jean smiled but didn’t show any signs of interest to continue the topic.
"OK.....at least will this madam attend my engagement party on next month" Meghan asked. But she didn’t sound excited.
Jean looked at her with surprise, she never expected her to marry so soon. "Is it Jake" she asked.
Meghan looked at Jean and pursed her lips and averted her gaze quickly. "No, we broke up. My parents didn’t agree and my brother warned me not to break his trust. His company is in risk so he is getting me married to his partner" she smiles sadly.
Little Jean knows that she is the reason for his company’s bankruptcy
"But it’s fine Jean. My fiancée promised me that he will treat me well. He said he liked me since long time...but it hurts when I see Jake" she choked.
As car halted in the parking lot of girls dorms Jean hugged her friend and consoled her. Most of the students here are from very prestigious families...without proper and high standard preparation no one can enter this university.
"It’s Okay, time heals everything. Jake will be fine without me....my parents will never agree a commoner like him" Meghan gave a short laugh, she is blaming herself for breaking his heart.
Jean and Meghan entered their floor. Each floor has a common entertainment center with various indoor games and other gaming stuff. There will be four suites on each floor. Every suite has four bedrooms and common living room, kitchen, a huge study room if they want to study together and one guest room.
As Jean entered her other friends rushed for a group hug. Jean is easy going and very friendly that they couldn’t help but love her.
Moreover she don’t stay here for year long.
She just comes for exams and seminars that’s it. Though her roommates like her she still have a problem with some of her floor mates.
After having their dinner together they settled in common gaming room with other friends.
"Jean, who is your project partner. Did you select...the competition is inching closer" one of girl asked curiously. Almost everyone are paired up by now and only scratch was left behind. If Jean didn’t select a partner she has choose from the ’left behind’ people. She will surely not make it to last round...
But, however Enrick is her partner. He might be one year senior than her, but there are no rules that you should select from same batch.
If Jean fails in winning the competition then she should stay year long like a normal student and complete her specialization....not only that but she will not get a chance to work directly with Jeff Valdez and his team.
But little they knew Jean has been declining that opportunity because she is reluctant to leave Scott and her family. If she becomes one of that researchers she should work in the laboratory every day without fail. Though they offer a hefty amount she is already filthy rich.
"Yes, I have a partner already" Jean said, she don’t want to reveal his name because out of sixteen girls sitting here everyone are huge fan girls of Enrick....Except herself. Well, she was once the same.
"Who is that lucky person Jean. Is it someone in top ten" other girl squealed. But Jean is not blind to see they envy that dominated their delicate expressions.
"Well, No" Jean said. Enrick is not a student of their batch and he is the president of the department so there will be no ranking system that could apply him.
"Then, how will you get into the top. You are really in need of money to complete your specialization in next semester right" one of them mocked.
Meghan gritted her teeth. Jean have always declined her help and here she is...getting mocked by insignificant pests.
"I will manage" Jean innocently smiled. If they finds out about Enrick they will surely try to disturb their work. It is better to hide it till they complete their thesis. But thanks to Scott...his generous gifts will shorten the duration.
Thinking about the people she love back in her home Jean started to miss them. At the same time she got a notification of video call from Raymond.
Jean smiled happily and bid her good night before locking herself in her room.
Meanwhile Meghan got a call from Jake and she is about to accept it but the other girl beside her snatched it and cut the call. "Don’t forget your brother’s warning darling. We will not let you out of our hands...he already sold you to my brother remember" she whispered devilishly.
There are many people tailing her and Jake. When she finds time to talk with him, he will be surrounded by them. And when he calls her this will be the situation .
"Okay girls. We have exam day after tomorrow. Me and Meghan will study together...good night" She pulled Meghan with her into her room and locked it before switching off Meghan’s mobile.
