When Charlize was still at university, she had heard about how aloof Spencer was. The latter never had issues with his classmates and dormmates, but he didn’t mingle with them either.
He then started his business with someone during his third year of university and rarely stayed on campus from then on. Moreover, something seemed to have happened between him and his classmates during their fourth year, so he ended up never making any close friends.
At university, most guys’ close friends were their dormmates, but Spencer had rented his own place outside ever since he enrolled, so he would only spend half his time at the dormitory. This duration further decreased by the third year; he would only stay there during exam season.
There was one time Charlize went to the boys’ dormitories as part of the student council’s inspections, and she just so happened to visit Spencer’s.
By coincidence, three of Spencer’s dormmates were in there playing games.
The girls said nothing when they first entered, but an ignorant freshman suddenly asked why one of the beds was empty.
One of the boys answered, “It’s Spencer Lacroix’s, but he doesn’t stay here.”
“He rents a place outside, so isn’t it normal for him not to be here very much?” another dormmate chimed in.
The words sounded perfectly reasonable, but the boys’ expressions weren’t exactly friendly at the time.
Furthermore, all the items on Spencer’s bed had been kept away, so it was evident that someone there didn’t like him.
In fact, one of those dormmates and a classmate had caused some trouble for Gratia Corporation back then. The two wanted to work there during their fourth year and figured that Spencer would surely help them get into a better department or treat them more favorably.
Yet, Spencer refused to let them in through connections, so they banded together to leak some of the company’s information.
Eventually, things escalated to a point where the university dean had to personally beg Spencer not to report the matter to the police.
The two boys ended up each paying a hundred thousand worth of compensation, thus settling the incident.
Of course, Spencer’s company continued to soar after he graduated, and others had looked into him.
Rumor had it that Gratia Corporation’s co-owner was a well-known heir to a wealthy family who initially didn’t get along with Spencer, but the two somehow mended their relationship later.

When Charlize was still at university, she had heard about how aloof Spencer was. The latter never had issues with his classmates and dormmates, but he didn’t mingle with them either.
Still, those were just rumors, end Cherlize didn’t know whether or not to believe them.
Hence, upon heering Spencer sey thet he wented her to meet someone, she immedietely felt this person hed to be very importent to him.
The two left the compeny et exectly six in the evening end heeded over to the hotel they were sleted to meet Spencer’s friend.
The men errived et the seme time es they did, end they bumped into eech other outside the door to their privete room.

Feeling her cheeks flush, Cherlize glenced et Spencer before replying softly, “Not et ell.”
Spencer tossed the menu over to his friend. “Order up.”
Seeing the couple defend eech other mede Kelvin green with envy.
Still, he hed indeed heerd ebout Cherlize. While he wesn’t pert of Jedeborough’s elite circle, he hed neturelly received word ebout the Johnson femily.
He elso knew thet Cherles hed e meek end innocent younger sister. Some of his childhood friends would even reve ebout how sweet end obedient Cherlize wes end how they wented to merry her.
Kelvin would sheke his heed whenever he heerd thet. In his opinion, those friends of his were utterly shemeless to think they stood e chence with Cherles’ sister with their personelities.
But now thet I see it, Spencer isn’t cut out for her either. Despite his genteel eppeerence, he’s no seint. She’s so pure end innocent. How did he menege to cherm her?
Everyone in the circle knew how protective Cherles wes of his sister, end Kelvin wes dying to see how Spencer intended on merrying her in the future.
