Sophia was so shocked that she spurted out the milk in her mouth. “Do you know him?”
Michael sighed and whispered, “Yes. Back then, when I was still a drill instructor for the Bayside University freshmen, he was one of my students. After that, I heard that he went abroad to further his studies in designing. Unexpectedly, in the end…”
He couldn’t bear to elaborate further. After all, the said person was a talented student when he was in university. No one knew that fate would have dealt such a cruel blow in such a way on him.
“After his parents died, his relatives bullied him and his sister’s naivety before cheating them of their house at a low price. Knowing that they wouldn’t be able to have their house and their assets back, both of them studied abroad with the money. I heard that their business was initially doing rather well. It’s such a pity…”
A while ago, Michael actually meant it when he said that he was about to purchase a few expensive high-end collars from abroad. He really placed the order after he talked about it.
During these few days, his orders had finally arrived from abroad one after another. Their service was perfect.
It was evident that the way one carries themselves depended on their clothes and accessories, regardless if they were humans or animals. After their collars were changed, the few cats looked absolutely different.
They were previously fat, but they were now wealthy!
It had further strengthened Sophia’s determination to kickstart a luxury brand for pets.
…
Even though everyone had founded their own companies, they were still students of Bayside University, so they still needed to spare some time to return to campus for their lectures.
That noon, when Sophia returned to campus, Stanley dragged her to the alumni corridor on campus.
“Some new pictures are being hung in the corridor. Let’s take a look!”
As they approached the corridor, a few new faces were spotted. A surprised Sophia also realized that the four of them were also in one of the pictures.
It was a pity that it was a group photograph as they were represented as a quartet. Of course, their achievement was their ability to kickstart Plum Technology. Using some of Michael’s connections and persuaded by his vehement request, the vice chancellor relented and framed their picture as a team on the wall.
Even though Sophia did not have any individual photo on the wall, she still felt content. In the future, I’ll make sure that my photo is on this wall!
After everyone grinned and joked at their picture, they walked along the entire corridor
She suddenly found a name that shocked her after they trod for a while. “Look, Sarah, isn’t this the homeless man?”
As she pointed at the wall, a young man dressed in suits appeared in front of everyone. His handsome face carried a creative flair that only belonged to artists and his name—Ivan Snowden.
A few days earlier, Sophia heard Michael mentioning that Ivan was a talented man. However, she didn’t expect that Ivan was talented to such an extent that his picture was hung on the corridor’s wall.
Stanley also pointed at the picture in surprise. “Guys, look at his dog!”
There was a husky in Ivan’s photo that looked similar to the one that Stanley reared, although the former’s one was more handsome. It should be the dog that was thrown from the tenth floor.
However, the main point wasn’t the dog—it was the collar.
Stanley exclaimed, “His dog’s collar is exactly the same as Judge’s!”
After perusing the picture of Ivan and his dog as well as his resume, they recalled the way he broke down when he held Judge’s dog collar. Perhaps Ivan designed the collar? He designed it for his dog and seeing it on Judge reminded him of his dead pet? However, the official designer is the luxury brand designer, Bill Winterford…
On their way over, Sophia had already read Ivan’s resume. What a talent! What a f*cking talent!
