what is up with these billionaire CEO's man?

chapter 1

"It's okay April, you can do this! One last presentation and you can say bye to this hell hole. Imagine a life with a job and an apartment! Wow. See? YOU CAN DO THIS!"

"-RIL, APRIL WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GO!" Nick exclaimed.

Meet Nick Loski. My one and only best friend(good ol hunk if you want to hit him up ladies he's single and ready to mingle)

"Nick I don't think I can do this. So many people are out there! What if they don't like my logos and my ideas and I fail on this project omg I will have to repeat this entire semester- NICK DO SOMETHING!", I said, grabbing him by the shoulders and shaking him.

Yeah, you guessed it right.
This, right here, is our very last project. We were supposed to make up a business of our own and design it according to our own selves, you know, making the whole plan, design logos,  flyers, digital ads and all that.
And not to mention, there were the world's most richest businessmen out there, viewing us.
Oh my god.
'SHIT WOW THIS IS MAKING IT WORSE.'

Nick snapped his fingers in front of my face, shaking me out of my thoughts.
" Bitch you're on the top of the class! If anything, I should be the one worrying about failing because we both know I did this entire thing literally last night. So go on. NOW."

With that, he pushed me onto the stage.
I felt eyes on me and I could feel my nerves pounding.
'Omg omg am I walking weird? Why are they looking at me like that? Am I blinking too fast?  Wait... am I blinking at all?! Oh my...  oh no no no, it's okay, calm down. Here's your laptop, just say whatever is on the cards. Yes. We can do this.
Can we tho...? OH MY, APRIL SHUT UP. Let's start."

"Hello everyone, my name is April and today I'm here to present you with my business of a  café..."

*After the presentation was over*

'OMG it's done.
Wait... they're clapping. Bow down you idiot! Smile, smile, NOT THE CREEPY ONE! Yes, good, now walk down the stage, don't trip, DO NOT TRIP!
Yes, we're out now.
NOW YOU CAN BREATHE!'

Suddenly, I was wrapped up in someone's strong embrace.
Feeling the familiar hands helped me relax more.

"You did it! You did it! See?! I told you! Now, wish me luck!" Nick said, smiling down at me.

"I wish you all the luck! Break a leg. And, Nick please, please don't stare at any of the girls walking by, okay? Remember, we have to finish our presentation first! I'm standing right here, so go now!",  with that, he climbed up on the stage and looked at him with pride as he dronned on and on about his project.

*After the event*

"I can't believe it! We're done! Now we are finally free! Wait, did you talk to our landlord about the apartment?!", I asked Nick.

Just then, we heard a shout.
We turned to look at the source and found one of the CEO who had came to view our presentations yelling at a waiter for spilling wine on his "expensive" shoes.
I rolled my eyes at them. I hated these spoiled brats, always whining and thinking they're above others.

"What an asshhole.", Nick and I said together, before looking at each other and laughing.

"Ugh I know right? Tell you what? Let's make a pact. Even if we get a job offers from narcissistic people like him, we turn those offers down. Deal?", I asked Nick, my eyes still trained on the man.

"You've got a deal on your hand, man." Nick said while shaking my hand.

"So, about the apartment. When can we move?"

Nick was about to reply when we were interrupted by one of our batch mates.

"Hey April? Professor James is calling you to meet someone. They're by the snack area. Go fast! And oh. Hey Nick!", I stared at the guy for a few seconds before turning to look at Nick and shrugging at him.
"I'll be back. Tell me all about the landlord then, okay?"
