Ian is humming even in the car, in the elevator and even while greeting the employees.

"Boss seems happy?"

"Yeah. I've never seen him so happy."

"Something happens?"

"I heard…..this is a secret though….he has a new secretary."

"Oh? Didn't the boss...just got married? Do not say that…"

"That is why this is a secret, idiot. The Third department says they saw a very pretty girl leaving the boss office blushing and happily patting her cheek. I am sure of it...The boss is having an affair."

"Shut up, jerk. If the boss find out you are spreading false rumor…"

"Is it false? Don't we all know that the boss only married because the boss's parent ask him too?"

"Gee…..this guy does not know how to fear."

"Good morning , Sir."

Beautiful.

All the other passengers in the elevator become enchanted by the fairy-like beauty in front of them.

"Oh. Miss Helen, good morning to you too. "

The elevator closed so the other employees didn't know what happen next but they all agree that the beautiful woman and the boss is like a match made in heaven.

"You look happy, boss." Helen smiles blushingly.

"Well of course. My wife is so cute so early in the morning."

"She must be very interesting woman." Helen become excited.

"Ohh...You can tell huh. Well, she really is. Actually, she got jealous of you."

"Me? Eh? Did I do anything wrong?" Helen shakes her head in a panic.

Ian laughs loudly.

"Ahahaha…"

The boss enters his room and orders a cup of coffee and some files.

While making the boss coffee Helen is sighing.

"What to do? I really need this job. Did I become black listed to my boss's wife? Urgh….I don't want to give up this work. Ah! I know. I will make it so the boss's wife will like me! Right! Helen, you are so smart. Hehehe. Praising myself is so funny."

A rumor about the boss having an affair circulates the whole company.

The rumored mistress's face is really beautiful but the lady employees hate her because no woman likes a homewrecker.

Surprisingly, the two involved parties have no idea about it.

"Mom, is it really alright to go back to school?"

"Do you want to transfer half-way the school year? I can do that if that's what you want."

Isaac things a bit and then shakes his head.

"No. I will win."

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?"

Monet smiles and rubs his head. "There's no more going to bully you. I already make sure they will all learn what will happen once they cross Cornelian's house again."

Isaac nods.

"Mom, you are the best."

"I am."

The students warily stare at the mother and child confidently walking with their head held high.

The woman is stylish with her black cute cap, sunglasses. Red long sleeve top and creamy brown long skirt that is lightly fluttering in the air and a high-heeled shoe making a [tak.tak.tak] sound while she walks.

The little boy has a handsome face with a serious expression but he is confident.

His uniform is tidy, clean and well-ironed. Monet is very particular about appearances. She knows that even though other people's opinion doesn't matter, it affects one's social standing in the masses and the general. She is also aware that in a business world, one's reputation matters in that person's success and downfall.

She will lead Isaac there. A princess who is loved by all but also feared by many. She should train Isaac to be that kind of person.

"Okay. Go to your classroom while I talk to your advisor and the new principal. Call me when you need me."

"Yes, Mom."

Isaac smiles at her.

When he turns around that smile disappears.

He went to his seat with a serious expression. Everyone is wary and scared of him as the moment.

'Remember, charisma is also a person's strength.'

Taking a deep breath.

Isaac looks at the guy beside his seat that he nevers tried to talk to before.

"I am sorry. I am absent for 3 days. Can you tell me what I missed?"

'Remember, being polite but maintaining a polite distance is important so they won't think you are overly kind or being a jack-assed rude.'

"Oh. Ah...Yes. Actually, we had a quiz yesterday. And…."

'Listen when others are talking. Be patient and only interrupt in a way that you won't embarrass them. That is how you talk to strangers.'

Isaac smiles.

'Smile is important. But it is not good to always smile like an idiot. Offer your kindest smile when people treat you good. Offer your insincere smile to trash.'

"I see. Can I copy your notes?"

"I--I also have a note. You can borrow mine." A girl at the back says shyly.

'Girls are evil creatures. They act like innocent and weak but they are the real deal. Well, not everyone since I am not like that. I am definitely not like that.'

'What should I do then, Mom? Ignore them?'

'Stupid. Why would you anger them when they are like hyenas? You befriend them but maintain a certain distance. Those hyenas are actually very forgiving to handsome cuties like you.'

'I see. I understand, Mom. I will follow your teachings and become the best son in the world.'

'What are you talking about? You are the best son for me the moment I married your father.'

'I love you, Mom.'

"Is that okay?" Isaac smiles lightly as if being apologetic to the girl at the back.

Isaac is a cutie in their grade. He is smart and a cutie.

Girls like him. Every girl wishes to be friends with him but he is a snob and he only cared about studying.

Isaac acting like this made all the other girls in the room shock.

"Me! I also have a copy!" The girl in the far front shouted in a hurry as she waved his cute cartoon notebook.

"My, your notebook is cute." Isaac smiles in his business gentle way.

The girls blush and one after another they went to offer their notes to him but nobody is getting overboard as to touch him.

They are just making a barricade in front of him.

The guy beside him pushes his notebook to Isaac in his surprise.

"Why are you all talking like you all are flies? Shoo! Shoo!"

"Stupid Eric, shut up!"

The girls angrily shouted at him.

"Idiot bitches~"

"You!"

Isaac is startled. He always thought that the quiet guy beside him is a shy and quiet boy. He thought he was a comfortable seat mate because he never tried to talk to him and he has his own lonely world.

But surprisingly, he is…..

"So? What? You will ask Mama and Papa? If I hear you all yappy yap yap again, I will throw gum to your hair!"

"I hate that guy!"

"Hmp! Isaac is finally opening his heart to us and this numbshell is being a hindrance….like I thought, assassination is the best!"

"Bastard, I will kick him to the stairs given an opportunity."

The girls grumble as they just stare at Isaac from a far.

Isaac giggles until it became a resounding laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Eric, the quiet guy pouts.

"I am Isaac."

"I know."

"I don't know your name."

"......Are you asking my name?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Is that important? You are lending me my notebook and we are seatmates."

"......we've been seatmates for half a school year and you never cared."

"Now...I do kinda care."

"Haah."

"Is it bad?"

"Eric Vendetta."

"What a…..revolutionary family name."

"...............I know. I am not happy with it so stop asking. And I didn't kill or my family killed anyone. So our family name is not a proof that I am a murderer or a revenger or something."

"My….of course I know that."

Eric scratches his head.

He shyly pouts and looks away.

Isaac finds a way to make the woman away. This guy….he will make him his personal pest repellant.
