Chapter 334
"Ms.Barton, We have arranged security for you around the school. If you need anything, let us know." His voice was loud and crisp.
"No! Thank you, Captain." Sky replied faintly but she started to get more glances hearing Sky had security.
She saw Clark entering with one more entourage carrying big cardboard boxes. He bowed to Sky and followed up where the princ.i.p.al was standing in a daze.
"I guess, You are the Princ.i.p.al of the school. These are from Ms. Sky Barton. These are some books that will be helpful for students." Clark's voice was firm and intense.
Sky! first time heard his serious tone.
Fifteen guards kept the boxes and left the hall. The Captain left after greeting Jai and Princ.i.p.al. Sky took a step forward and stood in front of Sam and Clark. "What's going on? Who planned all these?"
"Your brother and Brother Sam." Clark was back to himself in front of Sky. Her lips tilted up hearing his voice.
Sky nodded, "Take them all and leave."
"Let me see how you handle your old cla.s.smates before I leave... Clark, Take them and leave." Sam again turned to Sky, "Where is your bossy aloofness?"
Sky lips dangerously tilted up. She just wanted to attend and leave without much interaction. Seeing Jai and Sam's intention, she decided to make them happy.
Sky turned back to the table. All gulped down their saliva and looked at her. Brian was a scaredy-cat and thought he lost his job. "Because of you five, I lost my job."
"Brian!" Sky who looked calm till now had cold and formidable air around her. Her eyes were sharp enough to pierce through their soul.
"You! Claret right? You are right. I shouldn't sit with you guys. It will only degrade my image. Isn't it?" Sky raised her brow and looked at that girl in the eye.
Claret nodded frantically. Sky smirked lightly and s.h.i.+fted her line of sight to another one.
"What you just said? Wooing Brian? Do I really look like one to woo him? When have you seen my taste so worse?" Even though she doesn't go by looks, his att.i.tude was too disgusting.
"Stole bride's gown? Who said that?" Sky looked at the girl who kept her head low.
"Raise. your. head." Sky commanded.
That girl didn't dare to disobey her and looked at her. But she couldn't maintain eye contact due to guilt.
"Don't you have guts to look into my eyes? Do you think I don't know why you married
"Think before you spout nonsense about me." Sky didn't let her secret out about getting pregnant at a young age.
"And You! Do you think Brian belittled me? Yes! I should be belittled. Because I don't go around and swindle from rich heirs like you."
Sky didn't want to bother about others, she just swept a glance at them. But her once upon time friends tried to befriend gregariously, "Sky! You know them, they were always like that. You should..."
Sky knew how those five girls behaved. It wasn't out of their character because at least they showed it on their face. But these were the evil.
Their thinking and their words hardly match. So she didn't want to bother about them. "Cut the cackle. Don't even think about sucking up to me." Sky cut them off ruthlessly.
Her voice wasn't loud but anybody could say, she was s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g them up. Brian slowly looked up and tried to ask something but his voice betrayed him.
Sky furrowed her brows. "You will not lose your job."
Then she turned around and saw Sam standing and smiling, "I will leave."
Sky nodded and went towards Jai. The latter got up from his seat and went to her. "Brother Jai! I should have guessed you are up to something when you left me alone."
She looked warm with Jai completely opposite to her att.i.tude from a few seconds back. Her cla.s.smates looked at the duo and regretted their actions.
Jai corrected her few strands of hair saying, "My little sister can also be Domineering when she wants."
Sky just smiled. Loran came to them, "Sister Sky! My friends want to meet you. Can you?"
"Later! Let's meet the Princ.i.p.al first." Jai said and led them to the princ.i.p.al.
Jai took out a cheque and handed it to Princ.i.p.al. Sky looked at both in confusion. Then Loran handed his cheque to Princ.i.p.al and asked, "Sir, When are you planning to build the laboratory?"
"Why don't I know anything about this?" Sky looked at three men alternatively asking for an answer.
The princ.i.p.al smiled and answered, "Loran! We need some more funds to start it. Let's see how many will help."
"How much is required?" Sky changed her question.
"About one more million. Jai and Loran each gave a million each. Our total estimated budget is three million." The princ.i.p.al replied. He was already touched by Sky's gesture to give books to the school.
"Loran, My mobile!" Sky took her mobile and looked at Princ.i.p.al, "Princ.i.p.al! Can I get the account number? I didn't bring my checkbook."
Princ.i.p.al hesitated, "Sky, You already gave us so many books. Somebody else will help." but seeing her still waiting for account number holding her mobile with an antic.i.p.ating gaze, he gave the school's bank account number.
Sky transferred the amount immediately. "Sir, It's done."
Princ.i.p.al checked the bank statement and stuttered, "Sky... Sky Harley? Ar.. Aren't you Sky Barton?"
Jai responded to him as he held Sky by her shoulder, "She is both. I hope, Princ.i.p.al can keep it under wrap."
It took time for Princ.i.p.al to understand then he laughed it off, "You are just my boisterous and guileless student Sky."
Sky just smiled and thanked him before leaving with Loran to meet his friends. His few cla.s.smates and Sky knew each other for a long time, so she was amiable with them.
Due to entourage arranged by Sam and Jai, they were quite impressed by Sky. So most of the talks surrounded Sky and other powerful people in that town.
The princ.i.p.al grabbed the attention of everyone talking on the mike. "Good evening everyone. Thank you for attending the Alumni meet. Dinner will be served now. It's by the Barton Siblings. Jai, Sky, and Loran. So today's toast will be for them."
