Chapter 241
Juniper was applying a facial mask when she saw Michelle’s message. She replied to the text with a hug emoji perfunctorily, but the message she sent seemed extremely considerate.
Juniper: It isn’t your problem. But I really admire you; you’ve proven yourself to those people who once looked down on you with your achievements. They must feel so irritated now.
Juniper: Perhaps they’re jealous of you deep down now.
Seeing the message from Juniper, Michelle instantly felt a lot better and started to feel complacent as she thought about it.
‘Hesper is a nobody now, and Xavier must’ve started to despise me because I’ve negatively affected his reputation!’
‘She’s just putting on a calm demeanor!”
A lecture went by, and Hesper had just finished amending her drafts. She stretched, hearing her spine
crack several times.
The other students left in pairs or groups while Hesper and Jessie slowly packed their things and walked out of the lecture hall, only to find Michelle still standing by the door, waiting for them.
“Why are you still standing here?” Jessie said with a cold expression. “Anyone who doesn’t know would think that you’re being punished by my father.”
Jessie’s words choked Michelle for a split second, but when she thought of what Juniper had said to her before, a smirk reappeared on her face. “I just feel that I didn’t get to catch up with you two much during the class reunion. Everything was so rushed. We haven’t seen each other in such a long time, so let’s go. out for a meal now. I’ll buy you both lunches.”
Hearing Michelle’s invitation, Jessie pouted and Hesper tapped on the drafts in her hand.
“What… What’s the matter?”
Hesper glanced at her casually, then sighed. “I still have classes to attend.”
In the end, Michelle could not wait for Hesper to finish attending all her classes, as Hesper’s day was fully packed with lectures, and her classes went on until 6:30 in the evening. After following Hesper into lecture hall after lecture hall for half a day, she could not take it anymore and found an excuse to excuse
herself.
Seeing Michelle escape from the lecture hall, Jessie was amused. “Isn’t Michelle hilarious? She just came to you without asking anyone for a clue or two about your schedule, did she?”
“I just hope she doesn’t come and disturb the class again.” Hesper speechlessly shook her head.
Every time a lecturer came into the auditorium, they would spend some time catching up with Michelle since she was there. After all, she was an alumnus of the department, and the other professors were different from Xavier, showing Michelle some respect.
These conversations went back and forth throughout the whole day and wasted a lot of time.
“You really are…” Jessie never expected Hesper to focus on this aspect and let off a heavy sigh. “But frankly speaking, I also hope that she won’t come back here. I’m afraid that my dad might not be able to hold back the next time he sees her. In that case, he might straight-up make her cry and get himself onto the headline of the news.”
