Chapter 9

《Isabella Dawson》

My girl-friends and I were having breakfast with the guys at the cafeteria before our 10am class start. Yup except for one of our friends, Nathan Harrison. He still lock himself in his dorm, I think.

"Bella," I was about to take a bite of my sandwich when Sasha suddenly called my name.

"U-um....yes." I put the sandwich back on the plate which I haven’t have any chance to bite it yet.

"I think I left our assignment in our room!" She said with her eyes almost popped out. "I totally forgot about it."

I burst out of giggle as saw her reaction, "Don't worry, I already submitted this morning. Luckily I found it on the table where you left it."

"Oh...sorry about that." She grinned. "Thank you so much, Bella. I owe you one."

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal actually."

All of us became quite all of sudden and even stopped eating or do anything as soon as a blond hair guy who we haven’t seen him for days approaches our table. He just gave us a wave then swiftly took a seat right beside me. Our eyes then met as we looked at each other and he just curved a warm smile to me which made my cheeks felt warm in instant.

"Hey guys!!!" He finally greeted us all, breaking the moment of silent. Oh god....I really missed his husky voice so much.

"Nathan!!!" Everyone was surprised to see our blond friend who looked livelier than before.

"Whatttt!?" He knitted his eyebrow while looking at us. "Did you all miss me that much? Awww...you guys are so sweet!!"

Alright then....he is back now.

After the breakfast, all of us were on our way to our class which I have anatomy class meanwhile, for Nathan and our friends who are in the same course as his will have Business Law class.

"Hey Bella,” Nathan suddenly grabbed my wrist which luckily for us none of our friends noticed it since they were walking and chatting with each other right in front of us. “Thanks for that day," Nathan said to me along with a charming smile on his lips. "Your words really changed me."

He then let go of my wrist then slung back his almost fell backpack on his shoulder before started to walk along with me. Yes, we were walking side by side with each other. He really did make my heart skip a beat.

Besides, I was so glad that I could see those smile again, I really thought he will never back to his old self again. But yeay…he is back now. "U-um....you're welcome, Nathan."

"Okay then, see you later, Bella!" He waved his hand to me along with his cunning smile then swiftly catch up his friends who were heading to their class next door to mine.

"See you later Nathan," I murmured while looked at his figure until he completely gone from my sight.

《Nathan Harrison》

"Yeah....my class will be over at 4........you want to meet me?......Why is it sir?.....Is there any problem sir?.....Okay....I'll be over after my class end. Alright sir....see you there."

That was a call from Bella’s dad, Mr Dawson. It was weird to get a call from him since I never speak of him…well of course, he was scary you know if you meet him in real life.

Anyway, why Dwayn Dawson wants to see me?

Did I do something wrong?

Oh my god....did I offense his daughter, Bella?

As far as I remember, I really didn't do nothing to her? I….I like her, I mean I like to be her friend. She’s so nice and gentle.

Oh man, why I feel so nervous all of sudden? And scared too even though I’m sure I didn’t nothing wrong to Bella or anyone else.

As I promised to him, I rushed to Harrison and Co. Office which not far from my campus with my superbike. It is my favourite one actually one and only, because it was a birthday gift from my parents last year and I never thought that it will be their last gift for me.

I really do miss them so much.

I arrived there earlier than I expected since my class ended early today. My dad’s ex secretary well she happened to be Mr Dawson’s now since Mr Dawson is the only co partner with my dad. Plus, since I have a few more years until I finish my studies, he will take over that company for me.

"Come on in, Nathan ." his secretary politely opened the door as soon as Mr Dawson called me in.

"Thanks," I told to the secretary with a small smile curved on my lips.

"You're welcome sir," she replied me before left me alone with Dwayn Dawson.

I look around the office, the Vice-president office to be exact while my dad's office is the opposite of this office. Maybe a little huger than Mr Dawson’s. There was a man with a grey suit who sitting on the sofa with a briefcase on the table in front of him. Maybe he is the lawyer, because I've seen him before at my house before, talking with my parents.

"Firstly, I want to apologize to you, young Harrison for troubling you to come here to this office." Mr Dawson said politely to me. "Come, sit here, Nathan ."

"It's not a big deal, sir." I replied while took a seat beside him with the lawyer was in front of me.

My hands are shivering heavily right now, but I tend not to show in front of them.

"Alright, since Mr Harrison is here now, I’ll start to read Mr Michael Harrison and his wife's testament." The guy with grey suit spoke to us while took out a document from his briefcase.

Testament?

My parents have testament? Seriously, I really have no idea about that.

"Since Mr Dawson was their closest friend and he also here in this testament that I will read it out loud in a few minutes, so he has right to hear it too. Is there any objection from you, Mr Harrison?" The lawyer asked me. His strict face really made me nervous plus scared.

I shook my head. "N-no...I don't have any." I hide both of my hands under the table and clenching them tightly, trying not to show how scare and nervous I am.

"Alright then, I'll start to read it now. Please hear it carefully, Mr Harrison."
