The driver pulled the car up to the curb and came to a gentle stop, "Madam."
Silver got into the car, sighing with a touch of disappointment, "Let's go home."
The moment the car drove away, Owen Reynolds and Roseanne were just crossing the street, each with shopping bags in hand.
Their paths crossed just as one car and two people moved in separate directions.
"Let me take those," Owen said, taking the shopping bags from her hands without waiting for a response.
Roseanne didn't protest.
She knew it was futile.
Besides, the bags were indeed heavy.
As they reached the corner of the street, Owen suddenly asked, "How are you finding things at Elite Business University these days?"
Roseanne nodded, "The labs are not only well-equipped but also spacious. Professor Farrell is great, and the senior students under him are very considerate, always remembering to log extra materials for us as well."
However, Roseanne had paid for all those materials according to the price list.
She was already using the lab for free, so it didn't feel right to use their materials without paying.
Owen paused before asking, "Have you run into any troubles?"
Roseanne thought for a moment. Her research was progressing smoothly, and she was catching up on her previously lagging schedule. Academically, she was keeping up, even though she scored an A- on her last quiz due to a question that was ambiguously phrased, which confused the entire class...
After reviewing recent events in her mind, Roseanne was about to shake her head and say no, but then she remembered something...
"You hesitated. Is it about what happened in the Elite Business University cafeteria?" Owen asked.
Roseanne turned to him in surprise, "How did you know?!"
"I attended a meeting this morning and ran into Professor Farrell."
Roseanne's mind raced, and then she looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to reach Professor Farrell. Did he...complain to you?"
By the end, Roseanne's head was bowed in both shame and guilt.
