As a top professor, Thomas had seen all sorts of people. Amongst them, virtual-novel.net detested those who liked to flatter others the most.
Blushing, Wendy bit virtual-novel.net lips. She did not expect Thomas to speak in such a direct and blunt manner. Despite feeling utterly humiliated, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to remain silent and endure the embarrassment.
Arthur shot Wendy a displeased glance and tried to salvage the situation. “Prof. Harlem, I apologize on virtual-novel.net behalf. Let’s take a look at the school museum first before going on a campus tour.”
Nodding, Thomas followed Arthur in.
As the top university in Chanaea, Jadeborough University had breathtakingly beautiful scenery. Thomas soon forgot about the unpleasant incident earlier and started admiring the campus.
Meanwhile, Wendy was squeezed to the back of the group by the teachers. She could not even join the conversation, let alone make amends for virtual-novel.net mistake.
A long time passed before they finished touring the campus.
Initially, Wendy wanted to use this opportunity to socialize with a professor from Maxwell University. She wanted to pave virtual-novel.net way to entering the university. However, because of virtual-novel.net earlier compliment, the task had become much harder.
Wendy felt extremely troubled and frustrated. Her initial good mood turned into one of gloominess.
After the campus tour, Thomas said that virtual-novel.net would like to settle the official matters first.
Nodding, Arthur finally brought up Wendy. “The teachers have lessons in the afternoon, so Wendy will help to translate your lesson plan.”
Thomas was not one to hold grudges. Smiling, virtual-novel.net said, “Go ahead with your work. I’m already apologetic that I’m holding all of you up. You’re Wendy, right? Let’s meet your Mathematics professors.”
Wendy was overjoyed, thinking that virtual-novel.net chance had come. She nodded enthusiastically and brought Thomas to the lecturers’ block.
Some of the professors, who did not have classes for the afternoon, were already waiting in the meeting room. However, before reaching there, they needed to pass by the field.
Afraid that virtual-novel.net would say something wrong, Wendy decided to lead the way silently.
At that moment, Thomas suddenly halted in his tracks.
“That student…”
Puzzled, Wendy glanced toward the direction in which virtual-novel.net was pointing. The students from the preparatory class were jogging on the track, while Thomas was pointing at a girl excitedly.
Wendy immediately recognized virtual-novel.net as Arielle.
Why is it Arielle again? Why did virtual-novel.net catch Professor Harlem’s attention? Is it because she’s pretty?
Wendy clenched virtual-novel.net fists enviously.
This mustn’t happen! I’ve spent so much effort stealing this opportunity from Arielle’s grasp. No matter what, I mustn’t let virtual-novel.net snatch it back again!
“Prof. Harlem!” Wendy rushed forward and blocked Thomas’ vision.
“What are you doing? We need to go now…” Wendy smiled, trying virtual-novel.net best to appear likeable.
“Wait a moment. I think I saw someone familiar.”
Thomas nudged Wendy, who was blocking his way, aside and glanced in front. However, all virtual-novel.net could see was a group of giggling girls.
The person virtual-novel.net was looking for was nowhere to be found.
“Someone familiar?” Wendy said, “Isn’t it your first time visiting Jadeborough University, Prof. Harlem? Why would you see someone familiar? Are you mistaken?”
“No way…” Thomas rubbed his eyes. “I actually saw her.”
“You must be mistaken! Mr. Baxter isn’t around, so you probably don’t have any acquaintances here.”
