Chapter 149 Never Attended School
In Cordelia’s eyes, however, Myles was exceedingly pretentious
Shortly after, the food was served.
Richard, Lydia, and Myles temporarily put the conflict earlier at the back of their minds and started making conversation. Mostly, it was Lydia asking questions while Myles answered.
“What was your major when you studied abroad in Jetroina, Myles?” Lydia asked.
“Economics and management. I’ve already obtained a dual master’s degree from Jetroina University,” Myles replied.
“A dual master’s degree! Wow, how impressive!”
Richard then interjected, “So, you came back this time to take over your father’s company?”
“You can say so. My father has already entrusted part of the branch office’s projects to me, and I’m confident I can manage the branch office well.”
“You’re truly an outstanding man! There are few talented and promising young men like you in Jazona. Do help to mentor my son for a bit when he graduates.”
As Richard and Lydia sang Myles‘ praises, they furtively observed Cordelia’s expression.
After all, they were asking all those questions for the sole purpose of displaying the man’s most accomplished side to her.
They had thought that she would definitely be attracted by his strengths, but things did not develop as they had anticipated.
“The pork ribs here are really good, Rys. Quick, try some!”
Cordelia took a piece of pork rib for Emrys and watched him eat smilingly, seemingly turning a deaf ear to the trio’s conversation.
In a flash, Richard’s, Lydia’s, and Myles‘ moods took a nosedive. ·
Argh! We’ve been wasting our saliva for nothing with all that talk!
A hint of chagrin flashed across Myles‘ eyes, but he swiftly masked it. Forcing a smile, he questioned, “Which university did you attend, Mr. Lund?”
“Me?”
Emrys snagged a napkin and wiped his mouth before continuing frankly, “I’ve never attended school.”
Upon hearing his reply, Richard, Lydia, and Myles were all stunned for a moment.
Heh! It’s already the modern day now, yet there’s still someone who has never attended school. Doesn’t he know that education is free from kindergarten to twelfth grade? Even if he had grown up in an orphanage, he couldn’t possibly have lacked the opportunity to study. In a case like his, there’s only one explanation–he either didn’t want to study or was too slow on the uptake. It’s on him, so it serves him right!
