Chapter 180
The time that was supposed to be for her to get to know the campus turned into a time for Jessie to bring Hesper around while the counselor walked behind them with a box.
“Isn’t the paint needed now?” Hesper was used to Jessie’s enthusiasm, but now it was a little too much. for her. “Why are you here? To see Professor Jenkins?”
Jessie waved her hand. “I stayed to work as a tutor after graduation because my dad says my art is questionable, so I shouldn’t show it to the public.”
Hesper was amused.
Jessie didn’t want to get into art at first, but Professor Jenkins wanted someone to follow in his footsteps, so he trained her since she was a child to make sure that she did. Maybe because he was too stubborn in the past, but now he could tell that Jessie really wasn’t interested in designing. Even though she had immaculate skills, she had no inspiration.
After all, artistic creation requires enthusiasm, and Jessie wasn’t cut out for this, as she herself admitted.
The counselor knew how she was, so he just followed them around. Hesper felt sorry for him because he was her counselor, but she was helpless.
“You can give those to me, and Jess can show me around campus. I’m sure you have work to do.”
The counselor gave her a grateful look. “Yes, I do. Thanks for the help, Ms. Jenkins!”
Hesper took the box from him and the counselor quickly escaped. Jessie crossed her arms and chuckled.
“You’re still so kind.”
Hesper was surprised as she hugged the box because the smell of paint gave her a sense of reality.
“Everything has changed…” Hesper looked at Jessie and chuckled, but it sounded like a sigh.
She was no longer the same as she was four years ago
Professor Jenkins was teaching courses at another university, so after Hesper was done with her enrollment process, she still hadn’t met him. The first day was a bit of a rush, and since she wasn’t ready to meet him, she was relieved.
“I’ve sent you my address so you can come to see me when you have time.” Jessie waved her phone. What I regret most in the past was not telling you where I lived. When I first lost contact with you, I thought I would never see you again.”
Hesper felt a little guilty, but there was no point in bringing up the past. Jessie had a natural instinct when it came to this and never once asked her about it since they reunited.
“Alright, I’ll go see you.” Hesper smiled. “I’ve sent my address to you too. I’ll make some nice food when
you come over.”
Renee’s car was parked outside the campus. Jessie looked at the Lincoln and raised her brows at Hesper.
Hesper nodded because she didn’t want to hide it from her. “I’ll visit the professor and you. Let’s meet more often, my little Professor Jenkins.”
