"Ready or not, here I come" Nora abruptly turned around, opening her eyes that scanned the area like an eagle. "Where did that little brat go?" Nora searched the whole building. "Hehe". A cute light snickering echoed behind the curtains. "Got ya" Nora yanked the curtain opened and picked the child that hid behind the curtains.
"You found me, you found me" The child laughed happily as he wrapped his arm around her neck. "Yeah, it was easy" Nora boasted. "Really? Mom sucks at seeking, Dad is always busy and the maids barely have time to play with me". The child looked down at his hands sadly.
"It's fine, I'm here for you okay?. Your parents hired me to keep you company in their stead and in the stead of the busy maid". Nora said. "Really?" The boy looked up with teary eyes. "Yes kiddo". Nora ruffled his hair gently. "You aren't going to leave like old granny right?". The child asked again showing a hint of pain as he mentioned the old granny.
"Yes I promise you that". Nora gently pinched his cheeks. "I don't have any siblings. Mom and dad had me just to seal their marriage and contract between the two companies. They probably have no intention of giving me siblings. Can I call you big sis?". The child requested. Nora couldn't resist the child's cute looks and immediately accepted without blinking.
"Sure dear, you can Grace" Nora smile as she ruffled his hair. The image of her late brother flashed as she stared at Grace that had similar features as he. The gummy smile and clingy acts were all similar. She really loved everything about this little kid.

Next morning...
As USUAL just like every other days, Nora slipped to the back seat and just as she was about to fall asleep she noticed Finn step in. His cold gaze yet attractive and alluring face that screamed dangerous beauty. He calmly adjusted his glasses and scanned the whole class before his eyes landed on her, yet again.
"Where is your assignment young lady?" Finn cold hoarse voice echoed, hitting her. "Uhn? Me?" Nora stared blankly and confused. "What in the world, why is he suddenly targeting me? Oh handsome boy, I'm not the only student who doesn't do their assignments". Nora's mind screamed with a frown clearly written all over her face.
"Has everyone submitted their assignments?" Finn asked. "Yes sir". The students chorused. "Ehnn? That's something new and unreal" Nora's face twitched uncomfortably. What the heck was going on? "Only 69 students submitted and from the register, there are 70 students that attends this class, Am I right Ms. Sabastian?" Finn cold asked.
"Woahh...He also knows my name". Nora's mouth opened wide like she had just seen a ghost. "Do you have anything to say Ms. Sabastian? Maybe a clear reason why you didn't do the assignment?". Finn asked, gaze all locked on her, expecting her to tremble in fear or beg him but this hot chick stared back him like he owed her a thousand dollars.
"No big reason for that sir, I just sleep so last that night and couldn't stay awake through the class". Nora replied with a shrug. Finn frowned at her reply. "Write an essay of apology and willingness to always do your assignment of 800words". Finn said coldly then turned to face this projector, backing the students.
"The hell?". Nora slammed her hands against the desk angrily. "I'm not going to do that". Nora snared angrily at him. "Then just give up and fail this course?". Finn replied without throwing a glance at her. "Oh my God he's so cold and ruthless, "He's like the devil himself", "I hope I don't get on bad side with him, he really is ruthless". The students whispered among themselves..
Nora frowned angrily then sat down glaring daggers at Finn. Later after lecture, during Nora's free time. She had given someone to write the essay for her after threatening and paying the fella. She then heads to Finn's office. She knocked on the door gently and opened as soon as she heard the response from inside to open.
