Chapter 25 - 25

Tristan got up and was feeling very refreshed. For the first time in his life, he was feeling very happy. He used to wake up daily at 5 am, but today he got up at 9 am. He had a very peaceful sleep and woke up thinking about someone.

That someone, was his little one, Ava. The most precious person in the whole world. 

He used to be a person who had little to no emotion. All he looked forward to every day was work. Now he had something else to look forward to.

Tristan had fallen in love with Ava and decided to start courting her today.

Tristan was very calculative with whatever he did, so he did not want to waste time. He was courting Ava, and he was not going to miss his chance.

He wanted to see Ava today. He knows he cannot just look for her at the campus. He needed a reason, and after a few minutes, something flashed in his mind.

Tristan smirked and thought, 'Ava cannot escape from me now.' Let her enjoy her freedom because once she officially becomes his, there is no away she can escape from him. 

He felt like a teenager who was going to talk to his crush for the first time. He felt very giddy and enthusiastic.

Tristan picked up his phone and called PA Jack.

Jack was at the office and was relaxed, thinking that his boss will not come to the office for the next two days. There wasn't too much work, so he thought of going home early today.

His phone rang, and when he saw it was his boss calling, his face fell.

He wondered how his boss always wanted to work and not take a vacation. How can his boss torture him so much? The past week has been hectic. He was with Tristan during most of the meetings.

"Come to my house right now and bring me the file for the list of people we donate to every year," Tristan said.

"Yes sir," Jack was confused. Why did his boss want to talk about this list? But he should have known that his short vacation was short-lived, his boss being a workaholic could never take a break.

Jack, feeling dejected, took the file and went to Tristan's house.

Tristan was having pancakes and black coffee when Jack reached his house. Tristan checked the file and saw that he had not donated anything to X college this year.

"Give a call to X college and inform the principal we are coming in the afternoon," Tristan said in a calm voice.

"Yes sir, is that Ava's college?" Jack asked curiously.

He saw that his boss's mood was pleasant and not cold like it usually was. A lot of colleges invited Tristan to be their guest speaker, but Tristan always declined due to his busy schedule, and now he wants to go to some college to talk to the principal?

That seemed unusual for his boss.

"Just do as I say," Tristan gave Jack a cold stare.

"Sorry sir," Jack stammered. He called and informed the principal they were coming. The principal was very happy that Tristan Ambrosio, such a famous person, was coming to his college.

Tristan was looking forward to seeing Ava. He can already imagine how beautiful she would be standing in front of him. He can't wait.

After breakfast, Tristan and Jack made their way to the college.

He really had no interest in coming to this college. Usually, donations were handled by Jack. He would send them through the mail. 

The Ambrosio group gave a lot of donations every year and because of the number of companies they gave donations to, he usually never saw what it was he was donating for.

The principal welcomed them to the college, "Hello sir, it's our honor to have you visiting our college. Would you like to take a seat?"

Tristan did not respond and just sat down.

"Tell me, what can I do to help you today?" the principal asked politely. He was feeling very nervous. He wanted to be in Tristan's good books, and he will do everything possible to satisfy Tristan today.

Tristan looked at PA Jack and nodded. Jack took the check from his briefcase. "This is a small token from the Ambrosio group for the welfare of the college," Jack presented the check to the principal.

The principal took the check eagerly and was shocked when he saw the number of zeroes on it. He double-checked and thought, "You call this a small token. It's the highest contribution the college has ever gotten in the history of this college. Obviously no one can compare to Tristan Ambrosio," he thought as he cleared his throat.

"Sir thank you for your very generous donation. This college will always be in your debt," the principal said respectfully to Tristan.

"Let me know if you have any special requests. Meanwhile, would you like to take a tour of the college?" the principal suggested.

"Definitely," Tristan said and got up. This was the main reason he was here.

The principal was surprised to see how quickly Tristan agreed. He thought he was going to be busy and decline his invitation. 

Having Tristan walk around the campus might be beneficial for the school. He might give another donation next year if he gets impressed or if something catches his attention. He already had plans to invite Tristan to come during college day, this would make their college more popular.

Jack was right behind Tristan, and he knew that Tristan was a very private person. He did not want people tagging behind him.

"You don't need to come with us. We will take the tour ourselves," Jack said to the principal.

The principal understood and ushered them out of his office.

Tristan wanted to see Ava but he didn't know how to find her in this big campus. "Sir where do you want to go," Jack asked.

"Let's tour the whole place," Tristan said. He had the whole day to spare and he was going to make sure that he would see Ava. So they started walking around in the hopes that they would bump into her.

They were gathering attention as they walked around. He exuded a very dominating aura. Dressed in a highly-priced suit and having a personal assistant trailing him made people conclude that he was a very important person.

Tristan was very handsome, and none of the guys in the college can compare. Everywhere they went, the girls were blushing and staring. Some of them wanted to talk to him but seeing his cold expression they did not dare to. 

A few brave girls thought of talking to Tristan, who would want to miss a chance to talk to such a handsome guy. They were thinking, 'What harm is there in trying, a few men pretended to have a very cold personality to attract girls.'
