CHAPTER FIVE: BELLAMY HUNTER

The more Mr Wayne followed the steps,the more his impression of Ariel improved. It seemed like he had misjudged her. The steps that Ariel had written on the board were more simplified and easy to understand than the method he had used to tutor them. Mr Wayne wasn't the only one who was amazed by Ariel's method. A cool and handsome boy,Alan, who always topped in Mathematics, was also gaping in bewilderment at what Ariel had written. This sum had given him a hard time for quite a while. 'So it was supposed to be solved that way?' His impression of Ariel took a 180 degree turn . He really had underestimated her. He also thought that she was just a pretty face with no brains and only knew how to cause trouble.

Mr Wayne's attitude changed drastically. The person who had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot when facing Ariel suddenly had a big smile full of fawning plastered on his face when facing her. This change surprised as well as confused Ariel. She wondered how someone's mood could change so drastically in just a span of few minutes. The silent class was suddenly filled with Mr Wayne's applause. Those students who were gloating at the thought of watching Ariel embarass herself were struck dumb when they saw the teacher clapping for her.

"Wiw,Impressive! Very good! Ariel, can you explain to us how you arrived to this answer?" asked the teacher,his eyes shining brightly as if he had seen a goddess.

"Yes teacher" Ariek answered. She was sighing inwardly. It seemed that she had to keep a low profile. She didn't wish to attract unnecessary attention. Apparently,she had gain two fan already. She focused on explaining everything step by step . She also allowed those who had questions to ask. Her presence alone had garnered everyone's attention. She took her seat after she was done.

"Wow! so coool.." Fatty once again marveled.

" My desk mate is so suave and beautiful!" thought Maya loudly.

"Hmph,that was just by sheer luck,do you think she is a genius?" Sophie snorted and turned her face away.Well, Sophie was so enraged and jealous. All this while,when Ariel was stealing the limelight, Sophie had been watching her crush Alan. She could see the amazement in his eyes even when he was watching Ariel explain the formulae to them. She felt that it was all Ariel's fault. Her appearance in school was already causing her alot of pain.

"Ariel,don't blame for being ruthless." Sophie muttered while clenching her fists in anger and hatred.

That day,Ariel regretted teaching them the sum on the board. People kept pestering her from the moment the lesson ended till the time for heading home arrived. There was an girl who looked dull and gloomy seated in the corner of the class. She kept glancing nervously at Ariel for the fear that she would be discovered staring. She suddenly mustered up her courage and walked up to Ariel's desk and softly knocked on it. Ariel raised up her head from the locker and turned to look at the person that was knocking on her desk. She saw a girl who had her head lowered and had bangs covering her forehead. She was trying her best to fight the nervousness that was creeping into her.

" Hi,how can I help you?" Ariel asked the girl softly.

"My name is Alicia, could you please explain to me how this is done?" Alicia asked softly while pointing at the question in the book she'd come with.

"Oh sure,come and sit here" Ariel said to her while patting Maya's empty seat.

They sat and Ariel began the tutoring. Alicia looked at Ariel's beautiful and focused profile and somehow got a little dazed. She really knew how to teach people.

"Did you understand it?" Ariel asked curiously

"Yes,thank you. Uhm.. can I come to you incase I get some difficulties in solving sums?" Alicia asked hesitantly. She was sure Ariel would decline her request.

"Sure" Ariel accepted without batting an eye. Thus stunned Alicia so much.

"Huh? Alright,thank you." Alicia said while running away bashful. Ariel was amused by her actions. She just shook her head and smiled.

At the school gate in the evening, Ariel felt someone following her. Since that was the case, She decided to get rid of the tail first before boarding the Hovstad family car. She led the tail somewhere deserted and peaceful. Inside a car, at an inconspicuous angle, a cold, handsome and aloof man was watching this silently. He was passing by when he saw a group of six girls,each carrying a baton,following a lone figure of a girl to the deserted place. The girl seemed unbothered since she had casually glanced at them and continued walking. This piqued the man's interest so he asked his assistant to stop the car.

"Sir,should we help her?" the assistant Mr Liam asked,Worry evident in his voice.

"No need! what's that got to do with us?" the man coldly asked and glared sharply at the assistant, who immediately shut up. He continued watching the show outside.

The man's name was Bellamy Hunter. He is believed to be cold and ruthless in the business world. He is also the most handsome bachelor in Ocean City. In the business world,he is the youngest and richest billionaire. Hid methods of dealing with people who offend him are always said to be treacherous. He was generally a highly feared man.

aAriel on the other hand had reached a dead end. She was suddenly surrounded by six fierce looking girls, each holding a baton and ready to strike. Ariel seemed to be helpless with her thin figure surrounded. The girls suddenly raised their batons at once without warning.
