Chapter 983 Insignificant
Rather than break my back trying to mentor a simpleton like Wendy to obtain a spot in Maxwell, wouldn’t it be much easier to have a genius like Arielle do it all on her own? Since there’s no more chance to be romantically involved with her, she would serve me better as a tool to guarantee my graduation.
Confident that his sudden inspiration would begin to turn the tides of his predicament, Donovan felt a weight lifted off his chest.
With the microphone in his hand, he gazed steadily at Arielle. “I would like to offer my sincere apology to you, Arielle. I am sorry for my past misconduct, though I, too, have been unaware of the matter before. Let’s put this behind us, shall we?”
Arielle merely dug her fingers into her ears with a look of disgust.
The gesture was not lost upon Donovan. With a supreme effort to compose himself by fixating on Arielle’s potential to salvage his career, he spoke once more.
“As a demonstration of my sincerity, I promise to devote my time and attention to you in the coming days to ensure that you gain a spot in Maxwell University.”
Arielle chuckled in disdain before standing up abruptly. “No, thank you.”
Donovan’s grimace-like smile froze on his face. “What do you mean by that? I’ve already apologized to you despite you not wanting to hear it! I’m sure you wouldn’t give up the opportunity for a spot in Maxwell University just because of a feud with me! I’m willing to bury the hatchet between us to coach you.”
“Maybe I wasn’t clear enough,” Arielle replied with a bland look on her face. “I do not need a spot for an interview with Maxwell. Please let somebody else in greater need of it have it.”
Donovan lost his temper.
“Arielle, do you have any idea what you’re saying? Have you seen the number of students who study through the night just for an opportunity like this?”
Even Trisha, who was seated beside Arielle, began to look uneasy.
“Sannie, don’t speak out of anger!”
Arielle stroked the back of Trisha’s head comfortingly. “I know exactly what I’m talking about. I truly do not need to be included, as I have already graduated from Maxwell University.”
