Vincent's POV
I noticed a commotion going on outside, glancing at the driver, Rowan, I told him to check what was going on and then he stepped out. Moments later, I got silence instead of the feedback I was expecting from Rowan. The place which was as noisy as a market square is now silent as a graveyard. It felt confusing to me. Deciding to find out the root of the matter myself, I got out of the car. Only for me to see Rowan all covered in mud. Next to him stood a petite girl whose eyes shone with fury and rage and her hands were filled with mud. It was obvious that she poured mud on Rowan. I was livid at her actions, for I care much about my dignity and I don't allow my workers to be disrespected by others because they're associated with me. Only I have the right to maltreat them, others are not worthy.
Wondering what all that was about, I asked her, "What in the hell, you ugly bitch. Why did you do that to my driver? What did he freaking do for you to pour mud all over him, making him filthy and not be associated with someone like me. It is obvious that you're a wretched bitch because someone of my calibre won't stoop so low to get their hands dirty like you did no matter his offense". The people surrounding us burst into laughter at my words. I felt quite avenged not knowing this only triggered her the more. I watched her trying to calm herself by breathing in and out but I wanted to satisfy my ego so I called out to her,"Are you okay, you look like you could use some cents. Beggar". This evoked another round of laughter from the people who gathered to watch the showdown. This made me angrier as I hated crowds and noise.
Then she replied with the most beautiful voice I've ever heard,"Mister, your driver over here, splashed mud all over me and I was trying to explain to him about his actions and what could be done to solve this because I'm having the scholarship exams but instead he shoved me aside, insulted me of being cheap and wanting to suck up to a so called young master". Amused by her words and wanting to annoy her, I replied,"So you're a wannabe scholarship student and you're talking to me shabbily. Do you know who I am, I guess you're new to the city, so my dear, sorry to burst your bubble, I have a say whether you're going to pass that stupid exam or not. If I say you're not gonna pass, there's no way you're passing the exams". I was exhausted with all the confrontations I was having with her, so I told Rowan to fix himself and meet me in the car at twenty. I just came by to school because I heard the scholarship exams were being held today. I came to look for something interesting that I could play with when bored for the next semester. Seems like I found what I was looking for.
Amelia's POV
I poured mud in the driver's clothes and moments later, a man whose looks and structure could rival Greek gods came down from the car. I was blown away by his well chiseled face, his long lashes which make women jealous and his slightly pink cupid lips. I regained composure quickly and I put on the angry face at the driver when I remembered what happened. My hope that he will be as kind as he looked was dashed as he started talking. After he was done insulting me, I took a breath in and out because I do not want to react according to how livid I am but he called me a beggar, saying I looked like I could use some cents. I forcefully suppressed my rage as I don't know who he really is and I would love to study in peace during my stay in this college. So I explained what happened to him and how his driver called me cheap. My explanation only got me more insults and he left without providing a solution to the incident that occurred.
Devastated, I look for where to sit and think about what to do next. Then, I found a spot beside the tree outside the school gate. Everyone was avoiding me like a plague because of my closing the confrontation that happened earlier. Everywhere I went, I heard whispers of mockery and snickers. I was lost in thought of what to do until I felt a tap on my shoulder. Lo and behold, it was the same driver who splashed mud on me. Feeling defeated I said,"What?, aren't you done making a spectacle of me". Surprisingly, he handed me a polythene bag. Curious about its contents, I opened the bag and saw clean, fresh clothes which looked expensive. "I cannot accept this. Look if this is a way of your young master showing superiority, I refuse to take this". I looked up to see his face properly and I saw him probably trying to stifle his laughter and amusement. It made me angrier than I was.
I think him seeing that he was making me angrier and it could cause a bigger mess made him speak, "Look, the young master asked me to give you because he admits that he's at fault but he was just angry that it caused a commotion that was why he said those things. I admit that I judged you too quickly, I shouldn't have shoved you to the side. I thought you were one of those girls who act cheap and desperate to get to the young master's side". Calmed down by those words, I accepted the clothes. I thanked him and told him that I would return the clothes when I'm done with the exams. He told me not to worry, that me doing so would make his young master angry so I refrained from doing so. Thanking the Heavens about giving me a solution which gave me hope about the exams. I went to the nearest restroom to change my clothes. Immediately I changed into clean clothes, the bell for the start of the exams rang and we filed in according to our numbers.
Vincent's POV
"Rowan, go to the nearest clothing store to get some clothes for that girl, you will be the one to give her the clothes and don't you dare tell her that I'm interested in her. Find an excuse to tell her". Rowan, obviously bewildered by my statement, asked me why I was doing so. My attention to the girl even amuses myself but I just find myself doing so. It's rare to do so, if my friends knew of this, I would be in the midst of their mockery. I just couldn't help myself being attracted to her. Rowan stopped the car, went to get the clothes and came back to drive back to the school to give her the clothes. We got to the school and Rowan got down to give her the clothes. We saw her sitting all by herself beside the tree outside the school. Rowan was taking longer than expected, I noticed she had this angry look on her face. Her face, I had the opportunity to stare at her face without being caught. She has this angelic look which clearly shows her innocence even though she's a bit fierce. Moments later, she calmed down and accepted the clothes. Rowan was on his way back to the car and she dashed into the nearest restroom, to change her clothes I guess.
"Why did she have to run like that", I mused to myself. Then I remembered the exams start by 11am and the time now is 10:53 am. I guess we came on time, if not she might not have a chance of passing the exams and who is going to be the plaything to make the next session interesting. "What took you so long?". I queried Rowan who just got in the car. "Boss, she was angry and didn't want to collect the clothes, so I had to find some excuses to persuade her so that she could take the clothes", he replied. Not wanting to continue with the topic, I said, "Okay, no problem. Drive me to my apartment". We left the school thinking that we shall surely meet again.
