The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 36: Birthday Party

The 'Flying Dragon' restaurant was a famous midrange establishment located in the center of Vein city, It has a dining hall and also offers many private rooms for parties and business meetings.

Victor and the girls did not take a long time to reach the restaurant. They went right in and asked a waiter who could not keep his eyes to himself, about Tom's party.

Tom has reserved the best room in the restaurant, And the waiter volunteered to guide them, so Victor's group had to take the elevator to the 4th story.

In the elevator Victor inspected the twins who bowed their heads in shame, they were very nervous, and afraid Victor would make trouble with them and their friend.

"Don't worry, I will behave," he said as he understood their concerns.

when the elevator stopped, Victor gestured the girls to go ahead, then hugged lily and swaggered out like a young master.

The twins could only shake their heads and continue to follow the waiter, failing to hear Victor's faint whispers in Lily's ear.

"During the party find a suitable time to make your veil momentarily fall to the ground in front of Tom, and it would be better if you could interrupt him while he is talking to the Twins," he whispered with an evil smile.

"Young master you are so bad!" she thought, she knew how much her beauty can stun a man, even a woman would have her jaws dropped when looking at her for the first time. And this Tom is just a boy in adolescence, can he take such a hit?.

Her beauty has seemingly been increasing every day now, and she knew that it was the effect of the charm attribute.

They reached the room quickly, where the waiter opened the door respectfully for them.

"Mina, Mana we were waiting for you" A gentle sound greeted them when they entered the room.

The room had a birthday party atmosphere with dim lights, it had some decorations and balloons, there were only 5 attendants besides the birthday boy. 2 boys and 3 girls.

The one who spoke was a teenage boy with flowing black hair and a normal face, but he had an aura that forced people to like him and made them follow him. And his name is Tom.

The twins quickly entered the room followed by Victor and then Lily,

“Hello everyone, sorry about being late,” Mina said.

“Ah it’s OK, we were just getting started.” said a young man wearing fancy clothes while giving the twins in fervorous look., then he looked behind them at Victor asked,

“And who is he? This party is for our friends only” He said with hostility. He didn’t like the fact that the twins brought a boy along.

“Peter, don’t be rude” Said Tom, may I know who your friends are he asked Mina with a warm smile.

“Ah,…” Mina blushed a little then got herself together and answered “Those are…”

Victor didn’t let her continue but stepped forward and stretched his hand to Tom,

“Hello, I am Victor white, and this is my assistant. Sorry about the intrusion on your humble birthday party, but yesterday when I heard ms. Mina talking on the phone, I couldn’t help myself but ask her to bring me along as this one wanted to experience the life of commoners.” He said with a proud face.

The boys with peter looked at Victor with murderous eyes, how dare he approach their goddess? What is his relationship with her?

Tom's face cramped a little but he quickly got hold of himself and shook Victor’s hand.

“Hello I am Tom Watson, the birthday boy, please come sit down,” He said with a forced smile.

Victor helped himself to a random seat, and Lily quickly sat by his side, while the twins sat on the other side with another two girls.

Before anyone could inquire about Victor, Mina quickly took out a gift box and gave them to Tom with a smile “Happy birthday Tom”.

Tom smile and accepted the box he understood that this one was from both Mina and Mana. But he didn’t open it in consideration as he knew that the girls didn’t have much money and didn’t want to embarrass them.

“Tom, let us see what the girls got you,” said a hot girl who seemed stuck to Tom and was giving the girls threatening looks the moment they got into the room.

“Margret, that’s fine I will open it later,…” Tom said,

Mina quickly helped him, “It’s okay, I know that Tom would like this,”

So Tom nodded and Opened the box to find a brand new *Phone in it. Tom was a little shocked, and both Margret and Peter who were stretching his neck from behind Tom’s back were shocked too. This thing was not just expensive, it was out of stock, as it was only launched a few days ago.

“Is this an original?” Asked Margret with envy.

“Yes,” Mina and Mana nodded their heads.

“Where did you get it from? Did you steal it?” Asked Margret with an evil smile.

“No, we…”Mina didn’t know what to say, But Victor quickly came to the rescue.

“It’s clean, today at the afternoon, the girls pooled their money together and wanted to get one for you, but it was not enough and they couldn’t find a store willing to sell, so I offered to help them a little as a compensation for a little favor, and they accepted.” Victor lied with a smile.

“A favor?” Tom whispered to himself while looking coldly at the girls then at Victor. He was getting a little angry, he doesn’t like other men around the girls he likes. He wanted to ask what is that favor, but he felt it was a little inappropriate. So he changed his question.

“May I inquire about your relationship with them?” He asked.

Mina and Mana flinched a little, why do they feel a threatening look from Tom who is usually very nice to them?

“Ah, you see, we live now under the same roof, their aunt is the caretaker of the mansion father gifted me when he sent me to attend school here at Vein City.” He said making the twins relieved, the boys gasp, and Tom very tense. He didn’t like this news at all. But he could do nothing about it.

“Ah, you own that mansion!?” Margret and the rest of the girls were interested immediately as they have already seen where the girls live. While the boys wanted to strangle this lucky guy.

“What does your father do for a living?” Margret quickly inquired with curious eyes.

“My father is the owner of a conglomerate of media production companies, he just gifted me a small local one to try my hands, what was its name…?,..Ah, yes, Horizons Media, I am now its CEO.” He said with an arrogant tone.

“What !!!” everyone was surprised, the boys were a little envious. While Tom began to stare at Victor with inspecting eyes.

“Isn’t it the company that is now filming Dragon Hero 4 in Vein city’s mountains ?” Margret asked, making Victor want to stand up and give her a kiss, she just steered the conversation to the direction he desires. He will reward her later. He decided.

“Yes exactly, and since I didn’t get a gift today, how about I offer you all a trip to the movie set tomorrow morning?” He asked.

“We would really love to go but …” Tom began to find an excuse as he didn’t like Victor, but he was quickly interrupted by him.

“The twins offered to help me all day tomorrow you see, so I thought your friends would be happy visiting a movie set too,” he said making Tom swallow his words then look at the twins who kept their heads lowered, they wished their friends would go with them. They would be able to spend more time with Tom, and maybe their young master would be a little more honest with more people around.

“Fine, I would go, where would we meet,” He asked,

“You just take the bus to the bottom of the cloudy mountain, we would pick you up on the road later, but bring some hiking shoes, the terrain there is a little rough. How about 8.00 Am?” Victor asked making everyone nod their heads in excitement, everyone was going, who would miss such a trip.

“OK, that’s decided, Let’s continue with the party then, the cake is almost here.” Said Tom,

Victor nodded his head, then took a drink that Lily handed to him and drank a little as he activated his appraisal skill at Tom,

“Let us see what secrets you hide,” he thought.
