Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 75: "But we have to give a present to the school's honorary principal in person," Bettina remarked. "This afternoon, I'll be leaving on a business trip overseas. If not for that, I'd make the trip personally." Candice said hesitantly, "Get someone else to do that." Bettina refused, "Those guys did not graduate from Wilmint High School! If that happens, it will show nothing but disrespect for the principal." "That's okay." Candice exhaled. "I'll leave as soon as the present gets into the right hands." "Good." Bettina nodded repeatedly. "Put on the clothes I chose for you.

You should take care of your appearance. You're speaking for the whole firm," Bettina reminded her. "Got it." Candice looked upset. "Do I not always consider my appearance?" Bettina, with a sigh and rolling her eyes, answered, "The answer is no. Despite being wealthy and having money, you consistently dress casually." "What?!" Candice was at a loss for words. Was that for real? Seriously? She was certain that her outfit choices were fine. At night, the sky was filled with stars. Silvery rays of moonlight fell from the sky, adding to the scene.

This was Candice's first visit to Wilmint High School since leaving for college. It had not changed at all from what she remembered. There were buildings in classic style, lovely gardens, a spacious lawn, a large playground, an area for horseback riding, a basketball court, and a golf training field. The private school was of the highest caliber. She then went to the main assembly room. The structure looked like a church. The hall would host the homecoming tonight, and the honorary principal would give a speech here. After the speech, Candice could present the gift and leave.

She entered the hall and found a seat at the far back. She sat patiently, waiting for the event to start. Soon, the hall was filled mostly with female guests. Voices rose in conversation. g Ɐ lnσ ν ℓs․com, your storytelling home "What's up with all the women today?" "You should know better! Don't you know who's coming?" "No idea. Do you know?" "Milton Lopez! Do you know him? He paid for everything at this homecoming and graduated from Wilmint High School in 2016." Candice, sitting in the back, was taken aback. Did Milton also attend and graduate from Wilmint High School?

And he graduated the same year as Greyson? She should have known someone like Milton attended the same school, but why had she missed that? It was a surprise to her that Milton was her senior. "Well, Mr. Lopez did most of his schooling abroad and seldom came to Wilmint High School for classes." "He is reportedly scheduled to speak during tonight's opening ceremony. So naturally, all the girls are here to witness his presence!" "He has such a dashing appearance. I can't stop thinking about his stunning features!" "Exactly!

If he could just look at me, I would consider dying to be worthwhile." "Humph! You're not even in the front seat. Go ahead and daydream." "We could try talking to him to get his phone number." "Now, now. Honestly, have you never heard of him before? He's never been in a relationship and has never liked girls." "Yes. Who have you heard he's been linked to over the years? Getting near him is a challenge." "Just let me indulge in some make-believe!" Candice couldn't contain her giggles after overhearing their conversation. He had been single all this time?

At that moment, the host began to speak. "Let's give a warm welcome to the man who funded this homecoming of Wilmint High School, Mr. Milton Lopez!" The audience erupted into enthusiastic applause. The young women were all eagerly anticipating the arrival of the man of the hour! . . .
