The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 38: Pervert

After a few minutes of interactions and introductions, Victor got the names of everyone here.

The girls were Margret, Anna, and Sarah, while the boys were Peter and George.

Peter was the only one between them with a distinguished family, as his father works as an assistant to the governor.

They were Tom’s only friends in middle school, as he wasn’t very popular.

Many of them tried to inquire about Lily indirectly, but Victor shot them all down by saying that she was just his assistant, He intended to keep an air of mystery around her.

After the cake was delivered Tom blew the candles and everyone sat down to eat after wishing him a happy birthday.

Victor spotted a chance later when Tom stood up and left the room, probably to the bathroom.

Victor looked at Tom leaving then at the twins and signaled them that it was their time to move and question him. So they nodded and quickly followed nervously.

Victor, waited for a little while after they left and then signaled Lily who knew what she has to do.

No one noticed what just happened to expect for Margret, who kept her eyes on Tom, so after he left followed by the three girls, she decided to follow as well. She was getting a little jealous.

Victor quickly noticed her, so he went to her immediately, and started a conversation.

“May I ask you what school do you go to?” he asked while flashing his best charming smile.

Looking at him she forgot about Tom and decided to not bother, there is a bigger fish here,

“I just enrolled in High school, I will go to the one in the 5th district,” she said with a smile as she twirled her curly hair.

“Ah, too bad, we will not be at the same school, as I was just enrolled in the Elite school,” Victor said with some sadness in his voice.

Peter who was listening in the back quickly joined in, He didn’t want to lose Margret too to this guy.

“From our school, only Tom and the twins got into the Elite high school, I can accept the twins going there as their scores are perfect, but Tom’s case is strange. He has even worst scores than me,” He said dejectedly,

“Yes, I wonder about that too, do you have any idea victor? I applied there but was rejected.” Margret said.

“In order to be accepted there are three cases,” Victor said making all the guys in the room go silent and listen to him, as every one of them wished to go there.

“The first type of students are the really smart ones, like Mina and Mana. The second type is the really rich ones like me, you can be accepted if you donated a 6 numbers figure to the school” He said proudly making everyone feel dejected.

“What about the third type?” Asked Margret who knew about those already.

“I don’t really know all the details, but they seem to choose students with superb athletic abilities, the ones way beyond the norm, maybe some kind of a governmental program, But I heard rumors….” Victor said.

Peter suddenly interjected, “I heard about those too, they say they have students with supernatural abilities there. Like I would believe that!”

“But maybe there is some truth to it, Tom is very athletic, he is the best in our school. Although he didn’t start playing any sport until last year.” Margret said.

“Where is Tom from, and what do his parents do for a living? Can he afford the school?” Victor suddenly asked.

“Tom’s parents run a grocery store, near the train station. He is from Vein city like the rest of us. But lately, he has acquired a lot of money, it is said that he had won the lottery.” Peter said with envy in his eyes.

“Oh,” said Victor “OK then, let’s change the subject, Why don’t I tell you about this crazy thing that happened to me today……….”

Victor decided to tell them some bullshit to keep them in the room until Tom and the girls returned.

…

Tom got out of the restroom after washing his hands to see the twins waiting for him in the corridor.

“Tom we need to ask you a question,…” said Mina with some hesitation,

“Sure” answered Tom with a smile then walked to a suitable place near the stairs where he can stand with the twins.

“I am sure this is sudden, but we have to ask you…” said Mina with a blushed face as she just realized how embarrassing her situation is. But she had to do it.

“Tom, who do you like best Mana or me?” she asked in one breath then kept her blushed face to the ground in shame “Who would you prefer to be with in the future?” she continued in a soft voice.

Tom was shocked, He didn’t expect such a question, the truth is he wanted them both to warm his bed, but he can’t tell them that so he was intending to tell them that they are both precious to him, but at that very moment as he started to answer he saw a girl walking behind the twins, seemingly going to the restroom., She was the girl who was just attending to that young master.

Suddenly her veil fell to the ground so she bent down to take it then put it back.

He was shocked, “can a girl be this beautiful, I like her. I want her to warm my bed too.”, he thought, but his shock made him utter some words that were in his mind

“Both,….I like….precious… bed…want….” he said while stuttering until Lily went into the ladiesʼ restroom.

Mina and Mana didn’t feel Lily’s approach as they were looking at the ground and she didn’t make any noise, so after hearing his answer, they were both very embarrassed and stunned. They nodded their blushed heads and quickly escaped back into the room, not knowing what to think, they were really happy he liked them, but they felt more conflicted about what to do. ”And what about that bad thing? Could it be …??”

Tom followed after them to find his friends have already surrounded Victor who was telling them about his first day at work. And how he taught those disrespectful employees who are the real boss.

The twins seemed to have sat near Victor, as if escaping from him, so he didn’t have the chance to clarify things, he could only return to his position and listen to Victor’s tale while checking his new phone.

Soon Lily entered the room and sat next to vector too. But Tom who was playing with the phone kept looking at her every now and then and recall what he had just seen.

He must have her to himself, he told himself, but he has to find a chance, this girl seemed to be some kind of assistant to that dude. He should ask the twins about her, but that would be awkward right now. He glanced at them to see that they have been looking at him, but they quickly looked away.

“I have to find a chance to make things clear.” he thought not realizing that he had just made a big mistake.

The girls have been watching him as glanced at Lily repeatedly and were a little jealous, “is it true, is Tom a pervert?” They wondered.

Soon the party came to an ending, and Victor decided to say goodbye to everyone. They seemed to like him now, including peter who was aggressive to him at the start.

“Although this young master is a little arrogant, he is really cool.” they thought.

“Do you want me to walk you home?”Tom asked the twins as he wanted some alone time with them.

“No, young master… Victor would take us, we live at the same place after all,” said Mina softly then left quickly with her sister.

“Ah…” Tom froze as he seemed to have just remembered this critical information.

Victor came to the stunned Tom then took his hand and shook it,

“Happy birthday, Tom, I heard you will also be attending the Elite school, We should be friends from now on.” He said, then he turned to face everyone else.

“Don’t forget our appointment tomorrow at 8.00, I already gave Margret my phone number so feel free to call me.” He said and followed the twins out with Lily.

Tom glanced at him leaving and could not help feeling that this guy was a villain. He didn’t know why, but he had an urge to smack his face. Anyway, there will be a chance tomorrow, He will make things clear with the twins. And maybe get to know that pretty girl whose name he forgot to get.
