Hera and Katie were just leaving school when a sc. white Maserati pulled up beside them.

The window slid down, revealing the face of a man so handsome it could stop even the prettiest woman in her tracks.

“Well, I won’t disturb your date, then. See you, boss,” she said with a grin. With a wave goodbye, she walked away.

As she walked, she kept looking back and even took a few sneaky photos with her phone. She then shared them with her various groups of close friends.

News of Bernard’s visit to look for Hera instantly became the hottest topic in all the school’s gossip groups, completely eclipsing the recent drama surrounding Gaskell Corporation’s downfall.

The strange thing was that no photos of Bernard and Hera could be posted on the school forum, and any gossip threads about them were mysteriously blocked. Rumors swirled that the school’s tech department had flagged their names as “sensitive keywords”
