Follow Me novel Chapter 6

Sadie felt a little humiliated but she didn’t take her taunt to her heart.

It wasn’t her first time hearing such words and by now she was numb to the slander. Keeping up with her classmate, she inquired again without giving up. She was amused when she heard that the there was some new visiting professor that made all the girls lose their minds.

She thought that maybe the President himself was there and caused all the beautiful girls to go out running together.

Since she had begun to attend school here, she had come here for a morning run everyday and not once had she seen those girls before. After thinking about it for a bit, she was sure that the professor must be really handsome for this to happen. After all, this whole world only lived for beauty.

Putting on her headphones again, she slowed down a bit and continued jogging as usual.

It was the mid of September, the weather was still clear and dry. At only around seven in the morning the heat rose.

Sadie ran two laps, gradually soaking her back and chest in sweat.

As she ran her last lap, the atmosphere around her felt obviously wrong, she stopped and looked at the man running next to her in shock.

Julian! How was he there? Right next to her!

He didn’t seem to have seen her as he continued to jog, followed by a gaggle of beautiful girls in sexy looking sportwear, showing off their legs.

Sadie, patted her chest to relax herself, walked out of the ground and stopped to stretch under a tree.

“Did you see him? Julian Mccarthy. They just hired him as a visiting professor at the Department of International Economics and Trade.” The guy beside her said in a sour tone, “I heard that he contacted the school himself and also donated a library.”

“It’s a rich man’s world!”

“DHG group’s assets can no longer be measured in simple numbers, because it includes Julian Mccarthy! He is not just a worthless third-generation rich guy. He studied at the Wharton School of Business and is now a member of the top club, only extremely rich people can be in that club. He’s in the top one percent of the world. It’s no use envying him.”

His rant about Julian gradually faded and Sadie unconsciously turned her head towards the ground, looking at the tall, straight figure running at a constant speed.

He attended the Wharton School of Business?

She remembered something from the strange dream of hers. She had heard the name of that school in it.

But she still couldn’t remember who told her or the man who kissed her. She wasn’t sure if it was because of that dream, but she resisted letting Otto kiss her on the lips.

She shook her head, coming out of her train of thoughts and realized that the playlist had already ended. She took off her headphones and continued to stretch.

She couldn’t afford to get fat or to go to a gym to maintain her figure as gyms were expensive too. This little time every morning was all she had that she used to maintain her figure.

The income from tutoring was really meager. Although, runway modeling was harder but at least it paid better than tutoring.

As she was about to finish stretching, she saw Julian walk towards her. Startled, she ran away quickly.

She still hadn’t confirmed if Dean Esme really mortgaged the orphanage to the DHG Group, so she didn’t want to see him just yet.

Julian pursed his lips tightly and narrowed his starry eyes. He looked at the little figure in the distance who had just ran away at the sight of him like a frightened rabbit.

Was she afraid of him?

Ever since growing accustomed to him, she was the only person in the whole Mccarthy family who was not afraid of him. Seeing this change really surprised him.

Hooking his lips into a slight smile, he strode away without paying the slightest of attention to the horde of thirsty girls behind him who were all breathless by now.

In panic, Sadie ran back to her dorm room. Her roommate was up by now.

Sadie went to shower and later left the room with a hurried greeting.

Today, she had to save her roommate a seat in the classroom because Professor Turner was very famous and people had to stand if they were late because all the seats were already taken.

As she entered the auditorium, there were only a few students there.
