OMNISCIENT
Currently, the school has closed and all the prefects were asked to wait in the auditorium for their usual briefing that happens every first day of a new term. Sumaira sat down on her reserved seat as the head girl, beside the head boy and the principal. A brand new black leather chair was the only one vacant, from the way the principal and other teachers tensed up, it felt as though they were expecting someone important.
"All of you should behave yourselves, we have an influential guest coming today. Alexa, fix your tie," The Principal, Madame Rachel, spoke in a stern but unstable voice.
"Okay Ma'am," The said girl inwardly groaned before fixing her tie.
"As I said, he'll be joining us any moment from now, do not speak until you're asked to. Welcome him like the responsible students that you are," Just as she finished, the creaking sound of the huge metal door was heard.
A pair of shiny black office shoes were first sighted before two long legs covered in dark slate grey slacks majestically strode in. His suit was the same colour as his slacks with his raven hair coifed to perfection, beneath the Tom Ford suit was a crisp white shirt and silver Rolex day-date wristwatch. His strides were long and domineering, with an air of hauteur that made him look like a king.
His bodyguard was trailing behind in black, the man's perfectly arched eyebrows furrowed a little when he noticed their bewildered expressions. Of course, that didn't satisfy him, after all, the person he did that for wasn't even fazed.
"Good day everyone, sorry I kept you waiting. Shall we begin the meeting?" Saif stole a glance at Sumaira before settling down on his reserved chair. His subtle pink lips and flawless skin glowed under the fluorescent lights, not only the ladies, even the men couldn't help but mentally sneer in jealousy. How could someone of their gender be this beautiful? It's a serious crime!
"The bad boy's brother?" As usual, Camila couldn't hold her thoughts in, her voice was loud and clear that even the principal shot her a murderous look, the girl quickly palmed her mouth in embarrassment. Much to their surprise, he released a soft chuckle.
"Yes, Miss Davis. I'm the bad boy's brother," He retorted with a smirk, in an attempt to curry favour from his beloved's best friend. She'll be the ladder he uses to climb to the top.
"He even knows my name!" Camila mentally yelled out, the girl zoomed into her world of fantasy. If she can't get to meet the bad boy, his brother has always been her best choice as a gentleman. Not only her, all the girls that fancy them.
"Greetings Mr Grema, thank you for sparing time to drop by for the general meeting, it's highly appreciated," Principal Rachel cleared the awkward atmosphere.
He lied about sparing time for the meeting. In reality, they've been begging him to stay at home and help in planning his brother's wedding but the moment he sighted the school's message, he ran, changed his clothes and then left. The old Saif would've given an excuse for being busy but it's an opportunity to meet his first love and so, he did. Right now, he is barely able to hold on without losing control, no wonder, his parents want her to be their daughter-in-law. Such a rare beauty with brain.
"It's no problem, Madame," His expression returned to business-like.
"Sir, here is the budget proposal for the term. The school's clubs also requested funds to execute their projects, the final-year students will also be going on a one-week vacation to England, and their graduation party and prom have also been included. Here is the total of everything Sir," The school's bursar showed him the bills.
