Chapter 113 Attending a charity dinner (1/2)

Harry groaned when the lecturer suddenly hit him. Automatically he raised his hand to counter the hit but the hand froze when he realized who hit him.

”Si... Sir?” His cheeks reddened, especially when his classmates started whispering while looking at him.

He had never, in his life, being in the limelight for this reason. He was known as a hardworking student, never skip class and always focus on his study.

So embarrassing...

”Do you think I am a statue here for you to ignore me?”

”I'm sorry, sir. I will not do it again,” he bowed.

The lecturer nagged more before ordered him to answer the question. Luckily he did read about the topic and managed to answer it. The lecturer was speechless. He thought he could make Harry the example to the other students.

The class ended with the lecturer scowling the whole time. Harry could only shake his head, trying to cover his embarrassment. He shrugged at his friends and tidied up his things. He still had to have group discussion for their assignment.

”Let's go,” one of his friends said.

”Hmm...” he followed behind them. How on earth could he erase back what happened previously? Hopefully, no one spread the news.

Soon he forgot what happened. He focussed on trying to finish the assignments. Even his friends never mentioned about it. They spent about almost three hours there before they said goodbye.

On the way to the car, Harry was relieved when he did not bump into Lia again. Unfortunately, he could not find Ryn as well. He could not spend the time searching for Ryn. He needed to go to the office under his father's order.

What did that old man want?

He was still mulling about it while driving toward his father's office when he reached there. He parked the car and quickly jogged into the elevator.

Some of the workers stopped their walk when they saw him, confused and wanted to know who the man who just walked into the elevator. Women, especially, with their eyes sparkled brightly, could not stop looking until the elevator's door closed.

Harry who was so used with the attentions coming from the other gender, simply walked into his father's office. The secretary recognized him and quickly informed the boss. He did not have to wait long before his father allowed him to come in.

”Why do you want me to come here, father?” he asked once he sat on the chair facing his father.

”Have you finished your group discussion?” his father asked back without answering his question first.

”Yes, we've done it. We only need to write up the report before we can submit it to the lecturer before the due date. Why?”

”When is your exam?” his father asked, again ignoring his question.

Harry sighed. Today was a challenging day for him, always something testing his patience.

”In two more months, father. Why?”

His father pulled a drawer on his right side and took out an envelope. Harry quickly took out the content.

It was an invitation to a charity dinner tomorrow's night.

His eyes narrowed at the name of the company.

Full Moon Corp.

The name was almost like the name of the fashion brand he worked with. The first runway he participated in. The beginning of his modelling career.

”Your mother and I have another program tomorrow's night so I want you and your little sister to represent us,” his father said, pointing at the invitation.

You just want to have candlelight dinner with mother, Harry's heart pointed out dryly but he did not dare to say it out loud.

”Okay, dad. Just tell Mia she can just whatever dress she already has. No need to buy a new dress just for the dinner.”

”That is what you have to tell her. It's not my job.”

Harry's jaw dropped. His father knew how stubborn Mia is and she would never follow his order, especially when he was trying to curb her shopping spree.

”Do you have anything else to say?”

Harry kept quiet. What else could he do? His father only listened to his mother and even if his mother was doing something not involving his father, his father would blame him.

His father dismissed him. His father did not even tell him they were going to go home together. No. He was simply told to leave.

Harry drove to Angel's. He had no other place to go. He even cancelled the game with his friends because he thought the meeting with his father would take the whole evening.

He was wrong and now he had a lot of free time.
