As a top professor, Thomas had seen all sorts of people. Amongst them, he detested those who liked
to flatter others the most.
Blushing, Wendy bit her lips.
She did not expect Thomas to speak in such a direct and blunt manner. Despite feeling utterly
humiliated, she 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
her 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 her 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 her way to entering the university. However, because of her 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 he 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, he 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 her 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 she 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 he was pointing. The students from the
preparatory class were jogging on the track, while Thomas was pointing at a girl excitedly.
Wendy immediately recognized her as Arielle.
Why is it Arielle again? Why did she catch Professor Harlem’s attention? Is it because she’s pretty?
Wendy clenched her 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 her 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 her 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 he could see was a group of giggling girls.
The person he 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.”
