Tiffany sighed slightly as she watched Jasper leave with his head held high while Mr. Clem followed with the slight desire to please on his face. An indescribable feeling surfaced in her innocent and pure heart.
Jasper and Dorian spoke happily among themselves as they exited the dormitory. The two men ignored the woman running the female dorms as they walked out openly, garnering the attention of many female students.
Some of them had even recognized Mr. Clem and were immediately stunned. Why would the dean’s secretary come all the way to visit the girl’s dormitory?
Hoofmorn University had a huge campus with a great environment. A short distance away from the dorms, Jasper pulled out a pre-prepared check and handed it to Dorian.
Dorian was stunned by the act. ‘What is Jasper doing?
‘Bribery?
‘Since when do people bribe in broad daylight so openly?
‘In broad daylight, in school where teachers and students are everywhere?’
Dorian frowned and did not take the check. He turned to look at Jasper with a rather stern look in his eyes.
Jasper knew that Dorian had misunderstood, so he explained himself with a smile, “Mr. Clem, I realized that one of Hoofmorn University’s libraries is long due for reparations.
“As a businessman with few achievements, I wish to contribute to the maintenance of Hoofmorn University’s campus.”
“This money is my donation to Hoofmorn University so it can build a new library.”
Dorian’s doubts vanished when he heard Jasper’s explanations. He asked with elation, “Really, Mr. Laine?”
